Just got an email from Kerry asking me to sign a petition
calling for Rumsfield to resign. The question is, why should I sign it? Rumsfield is a lying conniving hateful man. But it will be Bush choosing his replacement, so how can I think that will be any better?

2. Because if he does go, it shows they are fallible, that "mistakes were
made"....

3. Why should you sign it?
Because it takes thirty seconds.

So what if the replacement sucks too? If Rummy is forced to resign, the chinks start showing in the Bush admin's armor.

But if you don't care, don't sign it.

9. This is the Rummy thread. The Condi thread is across the hall

How many different threads are you going to ask this question in?

We don't know. We ain't psychic. Psychotic maybe, but not psychic. He hasn't said. We'll find out tomorrow.

What the flying freak (yer crampin' my style ClarkUSA) does one have to do with the other. You'll only sign the petition if he votes against Condi? Is that it?

5. I signed it. Rummy is a menace to the world.
The next nominee will come under intense scrutiny. One * nominee already had to withdraw because of a "checkered" past.

6. I guess I could sign it just to give Boxer a chance to grill
whoever Bush designates as his replacement. I love to see her launch into repugs. OK. I'm going to sign it....

7. Go Kerry! Keep fighting, ignore the critics who chose to attack their own
instead of the corrupt neocons in power.
