I have not political agenda and no political affiliations, I see politics for what it is a way to screw the population while the real powers that rules the nation do what they do best to profit for themselves in our name.
The only time I ever voted against the Republicans was in the last elections.
I hated Clinton as much as anybody else but he didn't took us to a war of ideologies for corporate gain.
No, if you really love this nation like we all Americans do you have to see what is going on for what it is.

Bush has little to do with conservatism, the party of Abe and/or fiscal responsibility.
GOP is in 'deep funk' over Bush spending
GOP Senators Step Back From Bush Budget
Your pushing into the side of economic implosion, lies and fraud and Bush has had 6 years to show us he's playing an incompetent baboon to cover his thievery and con on the US. The train wreck is coming.
You want middle ground, you abandone them all and think for yourself.

What I fail to understand is why anyone defends such a blantant case of hypocrisy and then expects intelligent people to think they are something besides complete fools.
The article states, "President Bush authorized Vice President Cheney's former top aide to divulge classified intelligence information to a reporter in an effort to defend Bush's decision to go war against Iraq, according to the aide's testimony in court papers made public yesterday."
Yet, on page 24 of the court papers, it unqualifiedly states, “he (Libby) understood that only three people – the President, the Vice President and defendant – knew that the key judgments of the NIE had been declassified.”
Democrats: “Declassified” Means “Classified” – Acquire Means Not Acquire
It does not cite the source for “the full NIE.” However, the July 18, 2003, “BRIEFING ON WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION IN IRAQ," which, as previously mentioned, contained the declassified 2002 NIE information, included the State Department’s alternate view. Compare what the State Department’s intelligence expert’s opinion is in this NIE report to what the Inquirer claims the "Full NIE" stated.
According to the declassified 2002 NIE excerpt presented July 18, 2003:
The "State/INR Alternative View of Iraq's Nuclear Program" is that: The Assistant Secretary of State for Intelligence and Research (INR) believes that Saddam continues to want nuclear weapons and that available evidence indicates that Baghdad is pursuing at least a limited effort to maintain and acquire nuclear weapons-related capabilities. The activities we have detected do not, however, add up to a compelling case that Iraq is currently pursuing what INR would consider to be an integrated and comprehensive approach to acquire nuclear weapons. Iraq may be doing so, but INR considers the available evidence inadequate to support such a judgment.
Same source as given above

He's an evil man and his policies are killing people.
He's a murderer and all who support him desire to murder.

According to defendant [Libby], at the time of his conversations with [Judith] Miller and [Matthew] Cooper, he understood that only three people - he President, the Vice President and defendant - knew that the key judgments of the [National Intelligence Estimate] had been declassified. Defendant testified in the grand jury that he understood that even in the days following his conversation with Ms. Miller, other key officials - including Cabinet level officials - were not made aware of the earlier declassification even as those officials were pressed to carry out a declassification of the NIE, the report about Wilson's trip and another classified document dated January 24, 2003.

No one in their right mind DOES defend Bush.
