The FBI was clearly doing it to determine if the affair made him a security risk since having an affair is something you want to keep secret you open yourself up to blackmail. | ||

Scouring the emails of a CIA director without the President knowing? That's news. | ||

They were checking if a computer he used was compromised, That's all we know right now, and that seems way too trivial to involve the president in. | ||

I know if I was President, I would have heads roll if my employees were investigating my CIA director without my knowledge. | ||

So I expect Santorum to come back with a vengeance, the Libertarians have got to start making their voices heard and attempt to either a) Influence the party from the outside or b) Wrestle control from the neoconservaties. the thing i wonder is.......if the republicans lose the bible belt states....who cares? Do you think those bible belters will vote for democrats? Do you think a 3rd party would actually win (assuming they formed one?) They need to ridthemselves of those backward thinking losers and come join the 21st century. While I don't agree with fiscal conservatives I can at least have somewhat of a discussion with them..........I will NEVER vote for a republican as long as they are aligned to the hardcore evangelical christians. | ||
