Let's say I received a subpoena from the Justice Department today telling me I had to testify about matters it considered vital to national security.
Let's say I told them, "I could give a rat's ass about your subpoena, blow me."
What do you think would happen?
I would be in Guantanamo dining on that "cockmeat sandwich" that Harold and Kumar avoided.
So why is Karl Rove walking around free today? Because the Democrats talk a good game but when it comes to taking action, they fail time and time again.
It's simple. Congress tells you that you have to testify? You testify. It's the law. Period.
It doesn't take an epiphany to know that the Bush administration could care less about the law, the Constitution, morality, or life itself.
Where's the action by Congress to enforce its own subpoena? Where is justice? Where is the Democratic leadership? Send some cops, cuff Rove, march him to the hearing and if he refuses to talk, lock him up till he does.
Matter of fact, send him to Guantanamo. He'll confess to everything from car theft to murdering Jon Benet Ramsey. He looks soft, anyway.
What is most astounding is how incredibly far the Democrats in Congress are behind the curve of where the public is at on this and so many other issues.
Joe Lieberman must go? Steny Hoyer is the Congressman who must go first.

Outrage is a good work for where we are right now, but I think Congress gets unfairly blamed for its inability to effect change. That's just the way the three branches of our government are set up - usually for better, but sometimes for worse.
Can anyone name anything this Democratic Congress has done to stand up to George Bush, challenge him on the war, challenge his runnning amok on the economy, or defended the Constituti
Democrats in Congress are cowards. Giving them a larger majority will change nothing. We need to send all incumbents home for good, Democrats and Republican
Why should Rove be in jail? Even if he did offer up his opinion - which I believe is not true at all - on the issue, he has no authority to do anything.
He just drives the left nuts because he is so brilliant and defeats them in political strategy at every turn
Rove, Cheney and Bush have done more to set American back in eight years than Al Queda could ever dream of doing. They have given Al Queda massive gifts. Getting us stuck in a quagmire in Iraq; botching the invasion of Afghanista
Again, Al Queda couldn't ask for anything more.
And you're proud of him. Amazing.
Censure. Call him out. Don't mince words, or try to be subtle. Call him what he is. A lying, lawbreakin
Repeat and repeat and repeat. Oh, and, bring up the part that Bush plays in all of this. And Cheney too.

Sound familiar?
Now is not the time and the Dems know this. They are biding their time for when we havew real leadership in office and can actually go after these criminals and bring them to justice without some repug pardoning them.
Say it with me folks.....

The fact that bush and cheney and rove live on despite all the dishonest and immoral things they have done and the lives they have destroyed must be of great comfort to atheists in their quest to show there is no God.
If the Congress won't enforce the laws, it's the right and duty of the American citizens to enforce them.
Could you imagine if Rove was a Democrat and the Republican
He would have been handcuffed long ago.
Pelosi, and Hoyer, and Reid, have put their ideas of political expediancy above the law. Executive Privilege does not apply to protecting Rove in his stacking of the Justice department with partisan Republican
Maybe the next guy that breaks a law, can say to the judge "the people want to put what I did behind us", as a defense.
And why doesn't Hillary speak up about this, or Gore, or Kerry, or even Obama, damn it. Rove has done damage to all of them.
