Prosecuting admin. officials for torture is something a BANANA REPUBLIC would do...

[polichick]

According to Kit Bond, talking with Andrea Mitchell on msnbc.

I would think letting guilty officials walk is more like a "Banana Republic."

1. the "banana republic" meme

more gop racism

[polichick]

4. Jeez - are they really going there??

[Howardx]

14. typical gop projection

torture is what a banana republic would do.

[polichick]

16. Exactly - Olbermann said that last night...

...but I can't recall who he was responding to.

[knowbody0]

2. His fear of bananas is illogical

pay no mind

[polichick]

11. Olbermann was laughing at the Republican use of that expression last night.

[tridim]

3. Did you notice how bad Bond looked?

He looked tired and defeated as he was defending torture. Unbelievable.

We need to start compiling a list of all the Repukes who go on record supporting this bullshit.

6. Remember when McCain led the Senate amendment against torture 90-9

Bond was one of the nine.

(Edited to get the yea/nay totals correct)

7. Bond is clearly a fish outta water...gasping and rasping he goes into Empty Language

"We did it to save the Nation...keep the Homeland safe..."

Its all part of the PUB Grand Strats...keep piling on the Dems...Pelosi, Reid, Obama....rag on them all....

But..to no avail....the GOP is devastated by their own excesses....

In terms of Political Systems...the GOP is in its Terminal Death Throes...if not, very close.....Chene Stokes Time

10. True - just spitting out the latest talking point like a good puppet.

5. I know, wasn't that horrible?

And the "we could have investigated the Clinton white house afterwards, but we didn't" talking point.

[alsame]

8. Yes, Clinton was responsible for 9/11 and the Bush admin was

just too kind to prosecute. :puke:

[polichick]

9. Yeah, as if the Bush and Clinton admin. were comparable!

[ErinBerin84]

12. Joey Scarborough

was saying today on his show "MOVEON was created during the Clinton administration to MOVE ON. But now they won't!" They really are flailing around.

[polichick]

18. Joey believes in torture - that's what he does to viewers every day!

[VWolf]

13. That's right

They didn't investigate Clifton after he was in office.
They investigated Clifton WHILE he was in office.

15. Only a banana republic would follow international law?

:crazy:

I think Cheney might want to put this one back in his dungeon and pull out another. Her expiration date has passed.

[polichick]

17. I know - lame, even for them.

[damntexdem]

19. But it's doubtful that the U.S. can rise to that standard.

At least some banana republics have shown a bit of integrity. Let's see what the U.S. can do in that regard.
