Poll question: What are you willing to do to defeat Porter Goss
Republican Congressman Porter Goss is a Bush yes-man who has a history of doing whatever Bush tells him. If he becomes director of the CIA, he could help back Bush's claims that Venezuela or Iraq or Cuba needs to be attacked or help Bush launch another terrorist attack before the election. He will also be in a position to order the destruction of the proof that Bush committed treason in outing Valerie Plame. The CIA is Bush's last real opponent. Goss will neutralize them and place them soundly under Bush's control.

2. Bullshit...There's nothing to be gained here by filibustering
Edited on Fri Aug-13-04 12:41 AM by Rowdyboy
Spend September in hearings highlighting administration intelligence failures, approve his worthless ass, and let Preisdent Kerry fire him in February.

You would have to be extremely self-destructive to try to defeat this nomination right now. That, or really, really unworried about a second Bush term.

Suit yourself.

4. That's what the Dems said about fighting the IWPR.
That should have been a learning experience.

6. To each his own...
My single-minded priority is getting rid of George Bush. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING else matters to me now. Nothing...

3. We definitely need to fight this with everything we have.
We have already seen what partisanship mixed with intelligence amounts to with the Office of Special Operations.

With the way *Bush Inc. uses intel, it is right up his ally.

8. Your profile indicates a sort of racial baiting that usually doesn't
Edited on Fri Aug-13-04 01:03 AM by Rowdyboy
go over well here. Obviously, sophistication is not your strong point.

"I be Cleophus Brown, attorney for the peeples"

Some of us have listened enough to Limbaugh to recognize his tactics and cheap ways of denigrating blacks.
