13. You don't remember right...
and there'll be an accounting. Whether that also comes with hard nose accountability remains to be seen.

3. When Paulsen lied, was it about a blow job?
Then no.

Telling the truth is not required unless you have had consensual relations with an adult member of the opposite sex. And you're a Democrat.

4. Nah...that wouldn't promote healing and unity
and you can't spell immunity (or impunity) without unity.


(if anyone has to ask - snort)

7. Are you implying that DEMS should hold Republicans accountable for something?
If we do that, someone , somewhere might accuse us of "the old, bitter partisanship."

8. Did he lie, or was he just an incompetent piece of shit that gets to keep his job?
Sometimes in the Bush Admin, there is a blurry line between incompetence and lying.

9. That's the best excuse for leaving them alone and letting them do what they want.
Claim you were "fooled" or that you had to trust them, despite their record of incompetence.

10. No excuse here. Just an honest question about Paulsen.
Edited on Wed Nov-19-08 04:46 PM by Oregone
Anyway, to be realistic, the Dems wont even hold Lieberman accountable. Do you expect the to take on Paulsen?

11. Hell no- we agree on that one.
Edited on Wed Nov-19-08 04:48 PM by Dr Fate
And I didnt mean to take away from your honest inquiry with my somewhat snarky reply- my bad.

My point was that even if we could prove he was lying on purpose, there would still be some excuse for why he should get away with it...

19. Only if you think Congress has any relevancy left.
They've ignored blatant crimes, allowed individuals to ignore subpoenas and refuse to testify, and roll over at any sign of resistance from the minority party.

Hard to take any club that inept seriously.
