You write.. “his rulesâ€Â? don’t include stealing credit reports, " and yet, no one has come forward with any kind of verifiable proof that anyone unlawfully stole credit reports. So, as you've already noted, the rule governing judgement on this issue should be the rule you put forth... "You know you can’t just say something and it magically becomes the truth..." Thanks for outlining very sensible principles for judging others. Now follow them... Tom…

You know you can't just say something and it magically becomes the truth, you have to back it up with verifiable facts. “his rules” don’t include stealing credit reports, unless you have some kind of proof that has never been shown in the media.

But if you are competing again a team managed by Karl Rove you better play by his rules or accept defeat.

Illegal is illegal, it's pathetic that your apologizing for it. Here ya go Ben : http://www.thewbalchannel.com/news/5004239/detail.html

Hey, it's OUR war on terror. We can disagree about the tactics and, hell, we can disagree about what we call it. But the threat is real. Sorry, I'm probably over-reacting. I just hate it when people refer to the terrorist threat as if it's just another Republican trick. Anyway, Schumer and Emanuel did a good job. Schumer himself is no centrist, but he's smart enough to understand the value of maintaining a big tent. I am impressed by his performance--my opinion of his political abilities have certainly increased. “your war on terror.”

I can't wait to see the proof of this, I believe this could warrant a total reversal from the outcome of the past election. Wow, good thing you figured this out. You do it all on your own ? Or did you have any help, man this is like CSI stuff, I bet. You do have proof, don't you ? Even if it was true; stole the credit report ? Tried to dig up dirt on an opposing party's candidate ? Shit, man, you're ridiculous. Your guys been stealing illegal info about MILLIONS of American citizens,and for what, your war on terror ? Give me a break. You're failing horribly at that, and now your desperately grasping at straws. Stop embarrassing yourself and go to work, GET SOMETHING DONE, go rake leaves or somethin... Jesus !

He's a scumbag, not a hero. Staffers from Schumer’s illegally stole the credit report of Michael Steele, hoping they could find dirt to use against him. He’s a scumbag, not a hero.
