These guys can just do whatever they want, right?

Yeah, they can do what they want.

If your average Joe sez no to a subpoena guess what the friendly guys in blue will be at your door-step pronto.

If Rove has done anything criminal, it would be better for him to air it now, while his buddy can still pardon him.

I reckon Rove's just applying Harry Reid's Rules and is refusing to deal with people/groups polling as badly as our Dem-controlled Congress is.

Heck, it seems like RedMeat thinks its OK for people to just buck the law when they feel like it....

Rove should be thrown under a bus. People like him and others who engage in his type of politics are a cancer on all democracies. They view the other side as the enemy who must be destroyed at all costs and with whatever methods can use used to gain an advantage.

Groupies, all of you. Screw the law, if you feel damn about it, shoot him!

"If Rove has done anything criminal, it would be better for him to air it now, while his buddy can still pardon him." Yeah, true, kind of like what Clinton did on his last day of office. I bet you he would even get a pardon from a Democratic president.

Quit being such kiss asses to a political party people. Your young naive minds are allowing them to control you.

I have no doubt that the useless congress will not arrest him nor take any action. However, recently I have been feeling more positive about American democracy. Both the President and the Congress have, in many cases, been acting against the will of the American people but I can feel the wind turning and all dems and reps may be tossed out.

rove is a white collar criminal who should be in jail now for his treason regarding outing a CIA spy for political purposes. Of course he set up seigelman, that is his MOO. Did the same thing to McCain in 2000. And Kerry in 2004.

skipper, slashing tires? Wow, that is pretty serious stuff. Like starting a war in Iraq based on lies and killing millions of people which is what rove/cheney/bush set up for the country. Oh, and wasting a trillion dollars to drive up the price of oil to $150 a barrel.

Nice try, you may not want to play with big boys on JT if thats the best cut and paste job you can do.

Reid, Pelosi and her gang need a show trial so you'll forget that gas was 2 bucks/gallon when they took power.

Z, so you are with the crowd that Dems are angels and the repubs demons?

I recall this board going crazy when that one guy tapped his foot in the bath room.

Oh, and slashing tires is a big offense. So big it could get you killed back where I am from.

I am only saying that today's political platforms have become more of an entertainment program than anything else with so many become groupies.

Ahh, I'm glad to see hopeless Denial still lives!

Skip: "Oh, and slashing tires is a big offense. So big it could get you killed back where I am from."

So you're clearly misdirecting your personal experiences onto an unrelated event. Slashing tires is not at all, in any universe, as serious as starting wars, etc. It's just odd that starting wars and dumping a trillion down the toilet isn't something that could get you killed anywhere (I'm not saying I'm for that... not at all, but there's no WAY you can compare the 'crimes').
