Purge Blogger Believes Firing Political
Did blogging about the U.S. Attorneys purge get a long time University of Alabama employee fired? Lindsay Beyerstein of Raw Story reports that Roger Shuler, who has followed the saga on his blog for over a year, believes he was fired from his job for blogging about Alabama U.S. Attorneys Alice Martin and Leura Canary. For the last 12 years Shuler worked as an editor for the University of Alabama Birmingham publications office before he was fired in May over a billing dispute that was unrelated to blogging. Harper's Magazine writer Scott Horton, who covers the vast scandal, told Raw Story, "Shuler's problem arose not because he blogged nor because he did so from his workplace, because it's clear he didn't. His problem came from the fact that he wrote critical, well received insights targeting a number of very powerful figures in Alabama."
In February, 60 minutes aired (not in parts of Alabama) a feature on Karl Rove's role in former Governor Don Siegelman's prosecution. Suspicions that the politicization of the Justice Department, questionable prosecutions and the purge of several U.S. Attorneys were connected led to a subpoena from a House subcommittee that Rove failed to honor yesterday. Siegelman took to the blogs today demanding Rove be held in contempt for failing to appear and he may get his wish if a determined John Conyers has anything to say about it.

We all know Hillary has those 18,000,000 supporters that LOVE her to death..
So please help her by showing your love...
This is my challenge to Clinton supporters...
If you like Hillary please send her $1 this month...
If you really loved her please send her $5.If you really - really - really loved her send her $10...
And all of you McCain supporters that are thankful to the bitter Clinton supporters please send her $100, you could afford it much more then the poor uneducated, white, bitter Clinton followers...
By next month all eighteen plus million of you will pay off her debt and we will not have to listen to her begging anymore...
This will also be an indicator of how many people truly care about the Clintons...

Well, as long as it's just me and you here Jay, I don't think the populace has the capacity to react to this yet. It's not that they won't find this stuff interesting when president Obamas Justice Dept. starts the investigations and the new congress begins real hearings, not this lightweight stuff.
It's interesting also that these prosecutions and investigations are looked at somehow as a waste of time by Hillary. What deals are cut there? I hope I live long enough to find out what happened on that front. It seems they (along with her colleagues) have used this reasoning (if you can call it reasoning) all along. What are they up to, do you suppose?

NOW BEGGARS ARE CLINTONS LAST SUPPORTERS.....PROBABLY TRICKING THE OTHER BRAINDEADS INTO BUILDING SLICK A PLACE WHERE HE CAN SAFELY STUFF CIGARS, AND STAY OUT OF HITLERY AND HER GIRLFRIENDS' WAY!
ON THE TOPIC, HOWEVER, I CAN TELL YOU ALL THAT ROVE IS IN ABSOLUTELY NO JEOPARDY, AND THAT THE DEMOS DONT WANT ANY PART OF MESSING WITH HIM, SINCE HE HAS MORE INTELLIGENCE IN WHAT HE LEAVES IN THE TOILET THAN THE BEST DEMO MINDS WENT TO HARVARD FOR 8 YEARS TO OBTAIN!
IF THERE EWAS EVER A CORRUPTION SCANDAL REGARDING ILLICIT FIRINGS OF DISTRICT ATTORNEYS, ONE NEEDS ONLY TO LOOK AT THE 93 OF THEM THAT SLICK WILLIE FIRED IN 1996, RIGHT AFTER HE GOT "RE-ELECTED"!
THOSE GUYS WERE PUTTING TOGETHER A REAL IMPEACHMENT CASE AGAINST CLINTOON, AND WERE SUMMARILY DISSMISSED, AS JONNY CHUANG WAS FLYING BACK TO CHINA, WITH OUR SECRET SATELLITE SIGHT PLANS, AND SILENT PROP TECHNOLOGY FOR THE SUBMARINES....I BET THE MONICA THING WAS DESIGNED BY SLICK TO BE FOUND OUT, JUST SO THERE WOULD BE ENOUGH DISTRACTION FROM HIS BETRAYAL OF OUR NATIONS DEFENSES, REGARDING CHINESE CAMPAIGN CASH.....HOWS THAT GRAB YOU?

You can’t make this stuff up:
Democrats:
They won’t let us drill for oil off our coasts.
They won’t allow drilling in Alaska.
They approve all gas tax increases.
They don’t want any more nuclear power plants.
They don’t want any more refineries built.
They don’t even care about protecting the middle-east pipe-line.
Then gas goes up and they blame "big oil" and cry like babies.
REPLACE DEMS IN CONGRESS.
VOTE FOR JOHN McCAIN IN 2008.

AT THE RATE HE'S GOING, OBAMA NEEDS TO BUY MORE BUSES!
Just another example of flip-flopping by Pelosi. No wonder she always looks like a deer in the headlights, she has to make sure she doesn't tell tales that are different from the tales she told yesterday. She had it right originally when she called for the campaign to come to an end.
I heard Pelosi speak a couple of times before winning her seat and I was impressed with her --- but she turned out to be a great disappointment --- she flip-flops on issues just like Obama --- they have the flip-flop syndrome.
On Monday they say one thing and by Tuesday it changes to another thing --- they contradict themselves and they are good at giving speeches --- we get so duped by great speeches --- look at these people's track records.
Read Obama's books --- look at Chicago --- his district --- who has he helped?
Obama is in love with Obama and America is in trouble if he becomes president. Obama speaks of "change" --- how can he change anything --- he's being lead by the ears by the old-school network --- they own him --- they write his speeches and direct him like a puppet.
WE NEED TO REPLACE DEMS IN CONGRESS!
VOTE FOR JOHN McCAIN IN 2008.

The News Bias
***************************************
My niece, Katelyn, stationed at Baluud , Iraq , was assigned with others of her unit, to be escorted/guarded/ watched out for Martha Raddatz of ABC News as she covered John McCain's recent trip to Iraq . Katelyn and her Captain stood directly behind Raddatz as she queried GI's walking past. They kept count of the GI's and you should remember these numbers. She asked 60 GI's who they planned to vote for, in November, '08.
54 soldier's said John McCain,
4 for Obama and
2 for Hillary. Katelyn called home and told her Mom and Dad to watch ABC news the next night because she was standing directly behind Raddatz and maybe they'd see her on TV. Mom and Dad of course, called and emailed all the kinfolk to watch the newscast and maybe see Katelyn. Well, of course, we all watched and what we saw wasn't a glimpse of Katelyn, but got a hell'ava view of skewed news.
After a dissertation on McCain's trip and speech, ABC showed 5 GI's being asked by Raddatz how they were going to vote in November;
3 for Obama and
2 for Clinton . No mention of the 54 for McCain.
Think about this: If you don't want to forward this for fear of offending someone...YOU'RE PART OF THE PROBLEM! It's Time for America to Speak up! We're letting the USA slip thru our fingers....WAKE UP!!

Do it Conyers. DO NOT LET Rove get away with this. This is unacceptable. This administration has been involved in criminal activities since they set foot. NO MORE!
Sara1:18PMAug 13th 2008
Rove is not going to let the commies trip him up like they did Scooter Libby. If is ordered by a court to go; he will plead the fifth to every one of their questions because there is no sense of justice or fair play in the Democrat Party. The hate Rove. The goal is to harm him. They are not going to be able to harm him or any of their political enemies. They are going to make asses out of themselves like they did in the good ole days when they ran monthly witch hunts against Republicans and their other political and capitalist enemies. Go for it dims! You can get below an 8% approval rating if you try real hard and put Conyers front and center! He's such a shining star of the party!
