Politicians fall for trivial matters, not serious ones

Wednesday, April 2, 2008 12:00 PM EDT

“Get out now!” That was pretty much the message to Bill Clinton and Eliot Spitzer relative to their sexcapades while in office. Sexcapades in office are a big no-no, not only to fellow politicians but voters as well. “You just can't do that stuff while in office” seems to be the general consensus. It's certainly not right and it's certainly not very smart.
And speaking about not smart and not right, how about comparing sexcapades of Clinton and Spitzer with the escapades of George Bush.

First of all, how is a one on one with a consenting partner so disturbing and a president who wages an expensive, illegal and immoral war not so disturbing? Where is the call for George Bush's ouster? Mixed up priorities for sure. Actions involving millions of people and billions of taxpayers dollars doesn't raise the same ire as politicians one on one sexcapades.

Shame on our wimpy and totally worthless politicians who have done nothing but cater to everything that George Bush's little heart desires.

“I want to go to war with Iraq because they have weapons of mass destruction that pose an imminent threat to us.” So stated GWB. “Sure, go right ahead, George,” stated the mindless ones of Congress.

“I want more money for this (illegal and immoral) war,” demanded GWB. “It's yours,” stated GWB's GOP gang, along with the wimpy, gutless Democrats who now control Congress.

“I want more troops,” stated GWB. “You got 'em,” stated the worthless Congress.

Can't anybody stand up on their own two feet and demand the ouster of this spoiled, arrogant, ruthless leader whose administration has been anything but honest in word or deed? Where is the same outrage from the general populace, heads of church. They find sexcapades despicable to the point they take action. But they won't take action about war crimes and crimes against humanity.

" CVC, you probably also still believe the "incubator babies" story that got us into the first Gulf war don't you?

Do you by any chance have any ties to the military establishment yourself?

" No, ignoramuses like you are the real enemy CVC.

The war IS and always has been illegal. Even Richard Perle has admitted such. And then of course there is the torture which is another heinous crime in and of itself.

Google "iraq war" +illegality and see what comes up. And I'm not talking about BS necon sites that may accidentally show up in the mix - you already know their (bs) arguments.

There are plenty of much more highly credible sites that paint a much different picture.

Like I said. Dolt.

" Karl and AJ, you guys just can't seem to separate your OPINION from what the actual facts are. From AJs emotional rant, if we don't follow the liberal sheep, we are imbeciles. For the rest of us, not in the "reality based" community: Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002,a law passed by the United States Congress in October 2002 as Public Law No: 107-243, authorizing the Iraq War.
Here is something else: No UN member has brought this issue of the war's legality before the Security Council and no nation-member of the International Criminal Court (ICC) has expressed the desire to have the ICC rule on the war's legality.
Also, UNSC resolution 1441 was passed unanimously on November 8, 2002 to give Iraq "a final opportunity to comply with its disarmament obligations" that had been set out in several previous resolutions (resolution 660, resolution 661, resolution 678, resolution 686, resolution 687, resolution 688, resolution 707, resolution 715, resolution 986, and resolution 1284).
Your perecieved illegality is just your opinion, which of course, differs from real facts.
Remember kids, G. Bush isn't the enemy,
radical Islam is.

" CVC, DD, you are certainly entitled to your opinions as is everyone, but you are not entitled to make things up out of whole cloth. The illegality of this war as Karl and NL point out is not in question (except by imbeciles), and violates every convention I can think of.

IMPEACH THE SCUMBAGS!!!!

" Since when is the war illegal? Who says? You Karl? Clinton lied under oath, and Spitzer was conducting illegal business while employed as AG, and governor. None of them are upstanding individuals. Nature lover--move to Canada. "

" Actually Chris, the illegality of te Iraq war is beyond question. And Bush and Cheney will both be hung as war criminals if there's any justice left in the world. And I'll throw a party with free beer, and I promise to drink too. "

" Murray, you really need to invest in the internet. Clinton was impeached, not for his extra-marital affairs, but for lying to the Grand Jury. Spitzer was contributing to a criminal enterprise by spending money on prostitutes. Expensive war? You betcha. Illegal and immoral-thats a matter of opinion. "
