(81,198 posts)Glad you're here! Nothing's too clear now, but CONSIDER THE INDIVIDUALS INVOLVED!!! Just remember the kinds of things they're capable of. kkkarl rove learned his shit at the knee of lee atwater, the un-dear departed RNC chair who was a true dirty trickster - I think he learned it at the knee of charles colson and the rest of the Watergaters. They practiced and staunchly believed in the political Dark Arts. They stopped at NOTHING to make sure they'd win. Crime? HAH! Who cared? Winning was the ONLY thing that mattered. Besides, if our side gets in, all investigations are canceled and even if not, we all get pardons!
I don't know why, but it always seems as though the sneaky, illegal, immoral stuff mostly seems to happen to GOPers. Mostly. I realize there are Dems who are guilty of nogoodnik-ism and over-ambition. But even our worst compare to their worst like a grain of aquarium gravel compares to a brick. I wouldn't put it past some of these fiends to try anything and everything they thought they might be able to get away with.
I remember when little monica goodling testified before Congress how she'd "crossed the line" from legal to illegal during the bush/cheney years:

I think it was she who also recalled, during testimony, how when they were all brand new in their jobs, their main focus was "how do we get around the laws/rules/regs" to do what we want to do anyway? I remember hearing that and thinking - "and WHY can you not accept the rules that are ON THE BOOKS, and give up trying to violate them so much? WHY are you so unwilling to follow the letter of the law when it's not part of your evil little political sneaky-ass hit-job agenda?
These republi-CONS - they're ALWAYS up to something. If they're republi-CON, COUNT ON IT. Take it to the bank. They're prepared to do ANYTHING to win, legal or not. Sneaking, conniving, lying, distorting, dirty tricks, bribes, cheating, cutting corners, breaking the rules, violating the law. Is THAT what they mean by "freedom"? Is THAT the "freedom" they're always yowling about that our side is supposedly hell-bent on taking away from them? THAT kind of "freedom"? Thank God that sometimes they're stopped. For all their protestations about how Christian and moral they are and how important their "morals" are - they are the MOST UN-Christian and amoral individuals ever to suck air off our planet.
