Prosecutors' job is to seek the truth, not to gain a conviction. Exactly right. I've always thought that if an innocent man went to jail because of a prosecutor's misconduct, the prosecutor should be jailed for as long as the innocent person was. That would cut down on this type of crap. |

Nobody is perfect.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Hey, remember JPS said "By all accounts".. Of course it would not be the first time he was found to be making things up as he went along snerk... He comes around every once in a while when a gun jumps up off the shelf and kills some people all by its inanimate self. He is a fun to bitch slap for a few days and then he leaves. I'll come around one year and find that one of you idiots has gone bezerk and shot up his former employer or killed your wife. It was a hunting accident, I swear. I'm happily watching your chosen party shrink into a ball of quivering goo while a real man with a brain leads us back out of the woods. A real man? Real men don't talk like cheese eating surrender monkeys. (Let's see if you understand the context of this statement) The **** you support is backwoods, backwards and just plain ****in' stupid. Personal responsibility is backwoods, backwards and just plain ****in' stupid. The bank hasn't repossessed my cars nor have the foreclosed on my house. Your kind is on the decline, thank God. I would appreciate it if you would tell me how you enjoy waiting in line for your medical care, your food, your clothing and your job. Until then, this is the easiest place to find relics like you and spit in your faces. The USA was not built by men standing in line with their hand out waiting for the government to fill it with their next day's sustenance. Sweet dreams. Soon that's all you will have is dreams. I want my children's dreams to turn into reality. |

Melted your brains, basically. I suspect that site you posted is the internet version, so I won't go there until I make my hat. Out of aluminum foil now. The only answer I see is the Tea Parties. But I just heard Neil Cavuto on Fox saying the Tea Parties are being infiltrated. By Acorn. Things are going to hell in a hand basket real fast. Time to buy more guns and stock up on ammo. Maybe food too. Ever see the movie "Tremors"? Burt Gummer saved the day with his armory. Blew them worms clear back to hell. Reba McEntrye played his wife, Heather. That .50 cal was a mean piece, but Reba had a sweet matched set of 38's. But that could be an exaggeration. Good flick. --Vic You are a funny man. Just because Ted Stevens was convicted by less than honorable prosecutors doesn't mean he wasn't guilty as hell -- and everyone knows he was and is. So justice is no longer blind? You have to wonder if the Republican prosecutors purposefully screwed this up so it could be overturned later. Career prosecutors (aka Democrats). They were Republican appointees, certainly not Democrats. Are you sure? Or were they career civil servants? You had better do some checking. |

Repubs get busted and convicted, Dems get put in charge of the purse strings of the organization investigating them so the investigation can be squashed.... |
