Okay, I'm a junkie. I'm saving my additional posts in that Yahoo thread. Forgive me.

Subject: Red-Ink Republicans
"Red-Ink Republicans" is a better term for them, I think. Catchier.

Subject: Re: TRENT LOTT CALLS FOR INDEPENDENT PRO
Just to clarify: appointing an independent Special Prosecutor is NOT the same as bringing back the independent counsel law. Ashcroft has the authority to appoint a special prosecutor whenever he wants to, and is supposed to when there is the appearance of a conflict of interest (which there surely is in this case).

But that would not bring back the independent counsel *law*, which would have to be reinstated by Congress.

Another point: Mr. "I'm so ethical butter wouldn't melt in my mouth" Bush can order Ashcroft to appoint a special prosecutor, if he wants to avoid the appearance of impropriety.

That no special prosecutor has been appointed is a gross and flagrant violation of ethical standards from an administration that proclaimed it would be the most ethical in the world, but is looking very much like the least.

Subject: Re: PROOF Bush stole the election
Funny, none of the fire-breathing right-wingers around here seem to have anything to say about the proof. Come on, guys - prove me wrong. Or at least call me a liberal traitor or something. I need some of that sweet, sweet GOP logic and rational debate! :D

What's the matter? Are you CHICKEN?

(Begins chicken dance, clucking sounds)

I think that killed the thread.
