Well its hardly surprising, now is it?

Granted, no one is being shipped of to gulags, but rather comfy jobs at some think-tank, but these purges are as politically motivated as Stalin's.

Get rid of all your enemies, so that you may reign supreme.

Start wars to make themselves richer? Bush is an oil man; increased oil from Iraq lowers prices. He doesn't make as much money. Go learn basic economics sometime. Supply and demand.

As for this...well, I am against anyone who leaks, for any purpose, unless they're telling us the government is doing something that is potentally directly harmful to US citizens. The Democrats, as of now, do have the largest collection of people who leak classified information. If that changes, then I'll advocate firing the Republicans and hiring more Democrats.

I'm curious, though, about your source, Kazan. A Kansas newspaper? Come on man, if there were really something like that going on the NY Times and Washington Post would be all over it. But they aren't. This leads me to believe it may not in fact exsist.

And the people who have been seeking that power for 40 years?  Are they immune from the corruption of it?

Really? Like, oh, how about the entire neocon cabal, who have been leaking secrets to Israel for 30 years. The latest being the Franklin guy, who passed classified documents regarding Iran on to AIPAC. There are literally dozens of documented cased of classified info being leaked, and many of the known leakers are high-ranking officials within the Bush administation.

And by the way, leaks that bring to light wrong-doings by the government are not bad, in fact they are a public service.

With all due respect to you, it has been all over the cable news.

What are you talking about?
No one has been in power that long, neither Democrats nor Republicans.

Not even a single idealogy has been in place for 40 years.
So again I ask, what are you talking about??

And I want them booted out on their rears too. Regardless, you have to admit that the vast majority of leaks now, today, come from Democrats.

Yeah, that's what I said, now.

Okay, you've got other sources. Give me a bit to review them.

Prove your assertion or quit saying it.

Oil prices are at an all-time high. Which means everyone who sells oil is making money like its going out of style.

Higher prices + same demand=more profit

imagine that.
