I'm Reminded Of THE Clinton Lie...

"I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinski" while wagging his finger in our faces. Do you all remember it? Well, you should because the Mainstream Media played it over and over again everyday until Bush became resident of the White House. Most Republicans still like to whine about it and gloat that he was impeached because of it.

Now let's fast forward to 2006. Let's discuss just some of the lies Bush has told. I won't go into all of his lies concerning the war in Iraq, there are entirely too many and apparently no one cares anyway that he is needlessly killing thousands of Americans and innocent Iraqi for oil. Instead, let me remind you of the lies Mr. Bush has told concerning the Plamegate leak. I fully expect the MSM to run these lies over and over again everyday until bush is impeached. [yeah right!] Actually, I fully expect bush to fire himself, oh wait, he lied about firing anyone from his administration who was involved with the Plame leak too.

Big thank you to The Raw Story

President Bush, 9/30/03:

"I don't know of anybody in my administration who leaked classified information. If somebody did leak classified information, I'd like to know it, and we'll take the appropriate action."

President Bush, 9/30/03:

"If there is a leak out of my administration, I want to know who it is. And if the person has violated law, the person will be taken care of. . . . I have told our administration, people in my administration to be fully cooperative. I want to know the truth. If anybody has got any information inside our administration or outside our administration, it would be helpful if they came forward with the information so we can find out whether or not these allegations are true and get on about the business."

President Bush, 10/28/03:

"I'd like to know if somebody in my White House did leak sensitive information."

President Bush, 6/10/04:

Reporter: "Do you stand by your pledge to fire anyone found to have done so?"
President Bush: "Yes. And that's up to the U.S. Attorney to find the facts."

President Bush, 10/28/03:

"I want to know the truth. ... I have no idea whether we'll find out who the leaker is, partially because, in all due respect to your profession, you do a very good job of protecting the leakers."

President Bush, 7/18/05 issue of USA Today:
"If someone committed crime, they will no longer work in my administration."

White House Press Secretary, 9/29/03:

"The President has set high standards, the highest of standards for people in his administration. He's made it very clear to people in his administration that he expects them to adhere to the highest standards of conduct. If anyone in this administration was involved in it, they would no longer be in this administration."

White House Press Secretary, 10/7/03:

"Let me answer what the President has said. I speak for the President and I'll talk to you about what he wants . . .If someone leaked classified information, the President wants to know. If someone in this administration leaked classified information, they will no longer be a part of this administration, because that's not the way this White House operates, that's not the way this President expects people in his administration to conduct their business."

Remember That Talk DeLay Had With Jesus?

It didn't take or either Jesus has gone over to the dark side and is giving old Tom some really bad advice. According to sources here in Texas former U.S. Rep. Nick Lampson, the Democratic nominee hoping to succeed outgoing Republican Rep. Tom DeLay decided to hold a press conference this morning in Sugar Land. Tom DeLay's campaign manager and a member of the State Republican Executive Committee called for volunteers to meet on the first floor of the parking garage and "wreck" Lampson's press conference.

Here is part of the email Chris Homan, DeLay's campaign manager sent out...

We would meet tomorrow morning at 9:45 am on the first floor of the parking garage attached to the Marriott. Please get folks to call our campaign office 281.343.1333 and let us know they can do it – or e-mail Leonard Cash (in the cc field above) so that we can get some head count. Let’s give Lampson a parting shot that wrecks his press conference.

Now I guess that's all fine and good except the Republican protesters weren't exactly peaceful-like. Seems they roughed up an elderly 70 year old woman who came to support Lampson. She was slightly injured when she was assaulted by a DeLay protester. The male DeLay supporter first hit her in the face with a sign and then grabbed her hat and tried to pull it down over her eyes.

Marsha Rovai, the 70 year old retired CPS caseworker made this statement...

“I can’t believe my Congressman, Tom DeLay, would organize this type of assault,” Rovai said. “I was assaulted by two different people. One of the men hit me and another shoved his sign into my face, and then when I pushed his sign away he violently pulled my hat down over my eyes and pushed me. I’m considering filing an assault charge. This is just very upsetting and I’m so disappointed in Tom Delay for organizing this attack.”

Lampson Calls For Special Election As DeLay Faithful Hoot by Bob Dunn, Apr 6, 12:21 pm

In a Thursday press conference disrupted by protesters organized by Tom DeLay’s campaign, Democratic congressional candidate Nick Lampson called on Texas Gov. Rick Perry to clear the way for a special election to fill the remainder of DeLay’s term in the 22nd Congressional District.

DeLay, R-Sugar Land, announced Tuesday he will resign from office. However, DeLay has not named the date he will step down other than to say it will probably happen by mid-June. That date plays an important role in determining how his replacement is carried out.

In front of Sugar Land City Hall on Town Square, Lampson told a small crowd of about 40 people that DeLay should step down by Friday and allow Perry to call a special election for May 13. He called that “the only date which serves the people of this district by allowing them to keep a voice in Congress” without wasting money on a special election.

If Perry decides to hold a special election in November, as some have suggested, or not at all, then people in the district would go without representation in a time of war, and during hurricane season, Lampson said.

“This would be extremely irresponsible,” Lampson added. “You only have to look at the fight that Louisiana’s representatives have had to put up after Hurricane Katrina and Rita to know how serious the situation could be.”

After about three minutes, the crowd began to grow. Lampson was suddenly surrounded by about 30 sign-waving protesters, some shouting and one blasting an air horn. Protesters flanked Lampson on either side and stood close behind him, shouting and chanting.

Lampson supporters jostled for position, making their own signs visible. Lampson continued with his press conference, but the noise was so loud reporters were forced to stand face to face with the Democratic candidate to hear.

“You ask Tom DeLay’s people to do the right thing,” Lampson said, pointing a thumb at protesters shouting behind his head, “and this is what their answer is. It’s time the people of this district had a real congressman.”

Asked if Perry has any legal obligation to call a special election, Lampson replied, “Why do people need a legal obligation to do what’s right?”

He later said he believes Perry is under no legal obligation. However, he bristled at the suggestion the 22nd District could go without a congressional representative for half a year.
Lampson’s supports sported tea bags hanging from their shirt pockets, symbolizing the American Revolution slogan “no taxation without representation.”

Tempers flared as Lampson supporters tried to quiet the protesters. Arguments broke out, some minor pushing and shoving ensued and at least one woman was grazed in the head by a sign wielded by a DeLay supporter.

Marsha Rovai, 70, of Richmond, said one of the protesters hit her and another man shoved a sign in her face. She said that when she pushed the sign away, the man pulled her hat down over her face.

(On Thursday afternoon, Lampson’s campaign released a statement saying Rovai has asked the campaign to “help see if any of the television stations caught this incident on tape so she can consider filing an assault charge.”)

The press conference broke up, but heated arguments gained in intensity.

Sugar Land Police officers were called to the scene, but did not intercede. Officers in five or six cruisers stayed at a distance and watched the exchange, which subsided after 15 or 20 minutes.
DeLay campaign manager Chris Homan acknowledged organizing the protesters.
“Nick is Nancy Pelosi’s liberal lapdog from Beaumont, and he should get used to being confronted…for the next seven months,” Homan said.

After DeLay resigns and the campaign office is shut down, Homan said, “I think what you’re going to see is Republicans will rally behind a candidate and help get word out that Nick Lampson was one of the worst liberals the Texas delegation has ever seen.”

Theresa Raia, a state Republican Party executive committee member and precinct chair from Sugar Land, carried a sign and protested at the Lampson press conference along with her husband, Sam.

“We just didn’t like him coming in to Sugar Land,” Raia said. “He surely should have known he was going to get some opposition.”

“I just think it’s what you would expect of Tom DeLay and his supporters,” Lampson campaign manager Mike Malaise said of the protesters. “He is moving toward manipulating the process of picking his own successor, and this is the kind of strong-armed tactic that got him in trouble in the first place.”

Local Republican Party officials indicated Wednesday that they favor either waiting until November for a special election, or to do away with such an election altogether.
Speaking on the Rush Limbaugh Show Wednesday, DeLay made it clear he also does not favor a special election.

“No, there won’t be a special election,” DeLay told Limbaugh. “Texas has a law that there’s only two dates that you can have a special election, November and May, and this weekend the deadline for the May special election will have passed.”

Other political observers interpret portions of the Texas Election Code as giving Perry the authority to call an emergency election on a date of his choosing.

Folks, I'm sure you all well remember the 2000 Presidential election. This is the exact same stunt the Republicans pulled when the recount issue was being decided. It appears Republicans hate protesters except when they do it. This is just more evidence as to how disgraceful and unethicial Republicans are.

On a side note, Mr. Perry the Governor of Texas has stated that he will not call a special election unless DeLay resigns by friday [that's tomorrow, folks]. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that DeLay and Perry are terrified a Democrat will take the vacant District 22 seat so the corrupt bastards are going to do everything in their power to prevent that from happening. After all we wouldn't want all that corrupt work DeLay put into redrawing the District lines to go to waste, now would we?

April 6, 2006, 2:43PM Perry: No special election, unless DeLay resigns by FridayDemocrat says DeLay should leave office now so a vote can take place on the earliest date

By CLAY ROBISON, KRISTEN MACK and ERIC HANSON Houston Chronicle

AUSTIN - Gov. Rick Perry said today that he will not call an election to fill the congressional seat to be vacated by U.S. Rep. Tom DeLay before November if DeLay doesn't resign by Friday.

"The legal issue of when does that seat become vacant is when I get that (resignation) letter, and as far as I know I don't have a letter,'' Perry said.

"If I don't get it by close of business tomorrow, the election will be in November.''

DeLay Has A Talk With Jesus...

and decides that it's best if he doesn't run for the District 22 seat in Texas. In the Times interview, DeLay claims that he and wife Christine, had been prepared to fight, but that he decided last Wednesday, after months of prayer and contemplation, to spare his suburban Houston district the mudfest to come.

Golly, Tommy, I was worried you might be giving up the run for your Congressional seat because your EX-aides are singing like little birds about your involvement with "your good friend," Abramoff and your corruption.

Well anyway, we know it's one of two things, heck, it could be two things, either you're worried you'd lose your election or you're afraid you'll be sitting in jail by November 2006.

I'm banking on both, just call me Schadenfreude [sigh]. The one thing that would make me happier would be if Christine DeLay went with her hubby to the BIG house.

Finally, America wins one. Next!

We'd hate for Bush to feel left out so here's an article by Dan Froomkin that you might enjoy reading...'Meet The Real Bush.'
