You’re conflating Dick Cheney with Republicans in general. Half of America is Republican (well – just a little less than half!). I think you’re getting carried away calling half of America routinely Criminal.

Not getting carried away hey Mark? Oh dear….

Dubya: Indicted? Does that mean I gotta call him Sir Dick?
Aide: Um, Mr President…
Dubya: You go out and git me one of them indicteds! I WILL be Sir Dubya of Crawford!
Aide: (Sigh)

That’s it! All we righties need to do is get some small-town nutbag DA to prosecute Obie over some whacky conspiracy theory before Jan 20.

Mission accomplished!

J Edgar Hoover head of the FBI,said in a memo that George Bush was involved in the CIA at the time of the Bay of Pigs fiasco in 1963.GHW Bush alluded to a minor emloyee of the CIA being the person,but George William Bush the accused,denied it.

At the time of the invasion of the Bay of Pigs George H W Bush owned Zapata Oil and one of the ships owned by the CIA was named the Barbara,co-incidently the same name the GHW Bush named two of his planes during WW2.[Barbara 1&2].Zapata was the code name used by the CIA for the Bay of Pigs invasion.Is there some connection here?

If Obama is as innocent and genuine as his rhetoric implies,then he is for rude shock.

in what sense will Obama “not do a JFK”?
Will he not travel to Dallas? Will he not try to have Fidel assassinated? And BTW, are you saying Jacquie K was not beautiful? Gadzooks, sir.

Americans need a Federal investigation of *the rooster*

muchas gracias por: “Presiding Judge Manuel Banales” who to his drinking buddies is just “Old Banal” , y por
“he camped outside the courthouse in a borrowed camper with a horse, three goats and a rooster”

This story has it all. Cheers.

“Guerra himself was under indictment for more than a year and half until a judge dismissed the indictments last month. Guerra’s tenure ends this year after nearly two decades in office. He lost convincingly in a Democratic primary in March…

None of the indictments released Tuesday had been signed by Presiding Judge Manuel Banales of the Fifth Administrative Judicial Region.

Last month, Banales dismissed indictments that charged Guerra with extorting money from a bail bond company and using his office for personal business. An appeals court had earlier ruled that a special prosecutor was improperly appointed to investigate Guerra.

After Guerra’s office was raided as part of the investigation early last year, he camped outside the courthouse in a borrowed camper with a horse, three goats and a rooster. He threatened to dismiss hundreds of cases because he believed local law enforcement had aided the investigation against him.”

Somehow, I don’t think this story has legs. I could be wrong, but I doubt it.

But how does the political class expect to regain the trust and respect of voters, when they refuse to indict each other for blatant bribery and corruption, and repeatedly fail to defend the constitution from legal corruption? Its an endless cycle of open criminality and private forgiveness, term after presidential term, for the privileged few.

The whole world knows Cheney is a sleazy crook. The evidence would not be hard to find with some gumption and the right resources. Charge the bastard in the courts, or haul him before televised committee hearings. At the very least, the public loves a good circus, so the political payoff would be priceless for the initiating party…

Political corruption is now planted so deeply in our democratic institutions that its hard to recognise it for what it really is anymore.

Presidential Pardons, for example, are given in open defiance of the rule of law, with the connivance of both sides of politics. They all turn a blind eye, to the serial pardoning of presidential cronies, because the last bloke did it, and the next bloke will, and if I end it now I’m the sucker, so what can you do?
