I won't bother asking for dates and times to create a log confirming one side or the other.
What side? These are all conservative politicians and pundits. Nonetheless, if you are interested in persuing this, I am certain that you can obtain the transcripts for those talkshows on the dates in question. I am not sure what good it will do you and your point, whatever that may be, but I encourage you to look it up.

I would have to compile a timestamped chronology to see which of us is correct. In all honesty, that's way too boring for me to bother with. Would you like to document this? :hmm:

It is very simple. The bulk of the story broke on Friday, 29 September. By that afternoon, it was all over the drive-time talk shows. I know, as I heard them myself. Hastert's press conference was on Thursday, 5 October, one week later. He echoed the sentiments of the radio pundits, blaming everyone from ABC to the leftist elite. Clearly, there was some influence from the conservative academics.

I am not sure why you find this so controversial. It is a well-established fact that the nationally syndicated radio programs are an intergal part of the politics of the Right. It is no different than the bloggers and the Left.

I never contested this particular fact.

You are now going to hear a statement of the n00b.

I am speaking to you, from the Cabinets room, in a secure undisclosed location.

Today, i handed the American Offending poster fredbass a final note, that they were to withdraw thier offensive "democracy spreading" Tanks from Europe, and any other countrys till 13 o' clock. If they do not, a state of flame-war will exist between us. I have to tell you now that no such undertaking has been recieved, and that consequently, this person is at flame-war, with fredbass.

If you think your country is so great, then stay in it. And stop sending people in wars.

You will do whatever you can to create the "USA-Situation" around the world? I can tell you that the rest of the world will resist and fight till theres no one left to stand.

Before we "Go Bush" we rather die. We have our own democatic sh** around here, and it's not even that worse. But the "Dicatorship of the Dumb mass" called "Americanny-Democracy" is a thing no-one wants over here, and you will ****ing respect that!

Herr George W. Bush, would rather like to be known to those in history as the big emperor, W. Bush!

You are entitled to whatever opinion you want Noob, but you are getting mighty annoying with your illbehaved postings. If you don't like bush, fine. But why should the rest of us suffer from your irrational hatred? Chill. Out.

This is getting good now. You got me smiling this morning. :p To Noob: Too bad.

Anyway, since the Foley situation was brought up. I'd just like to say that Foley is sick. He deserves punishment and help. But as far as everything else. It's just politics. Each side is always looking for something to give them an edge. That's all the rest of it is, really.

First of all, the title of this thread implies that Bush had marbles to begin with instead of being the oratorially-challenged spokesperson for the Project For a New American Century that he is. Regarding the scandal-mongering and accusations that have been circulating lately, they're just a distraction from the abrogation of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights perpetrated on the American people by this Congress and Administration under the new Detainee act. Besides granting the power to suspend habeas corpus, now anyone can be declared a "material supporter of terrorism" anywhere at anytime by the government and dissapeared into the bowels of the new Gulag our Department of Homeland Security is feverishly constructing around the nation. So let us kowtow to the new Kings of Corporations who truly run this nation and offer up our treasure and sons for their New Corporate World Order. Regarding the Religious Right, they're just being played for suckers as always by the republicans unless they need someone to staff the aforementioned camps.

I do find it amusing that everything is blamed on Clinton. Why stop there? Why not blame him for Pearl Harbor, or the McKinley assassination, or the kidnapping of the Lindbergh baby? It's no more or less valid than the current accusations being thrown about by the good folks at Fox News, or as I like to call them, Pravda. Heck, the Florida Court of Appeals has already ruled that it's OK for Fox News to lie in their reports, so why should I believe anything these people say about anything?

It implies that you have already dismissed him, so it's no use arguing with you. Exactly the same as when righties call the former president "Klinton".

All I did was post a link and ask a question.

My bad.
My objection is that you asked a question with a rhetorical implication; i.e. the answer was obvious. Not bad, just not conducive to fair and open debate.

A lot of people on all sides of these arguments do the same.

His rationale was that it "rules out a large portion of those persons best qualified by experience and knowledge to fill the office.""

This one is for you sub.
Every four years the people of the United States elect a President. Anyone who runs for President (that is not an incumbent) has no experience as President. I guess with your thinking we should only elect Presidents with experience being President.

There is too much here to work with that is simply unworthy of a response. What I will say is that thank God for Rush Limbaugh, Fox News and President Bush. Y'all ain't in power. How sad for you. The truth keeps hurting, don't it?
