Why is the GOP pro-Clemens, and the Dems pro-McNamee - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

Strange.

I guess in a sense, GOP is about protecting powerful rich interests while Dems are about tearing those things down.

Wrong. Liberals are comfortable with convicting people based on heresay and conjecture. Conservatives would rather have concrete evidence.

GOP interested in slamming McNamee and then serving up softballs to Clemens.

And then you have the hacks like IndyCoug ready to jump in and support them.

Then you have trolls like MikeWaters trying to make stupid generalizations and then having the gall to call out someone else for doing the same thing.

Is it over or is it in recess. I went to lunch.

If it's in recess, 10:1 they're on the monkey bars.

I thought it was funny. The dude from Indiana was falling all over himself calling Clemens a "Baseball Titan".

McNamee is only one of Clemens current problems

1. His wife's use of HGH
2. His friend Petit's testimony under oath implicating Rodger
3. Nanny contradicting Rodger
4. Rodger contradicting himself (ie said he had never heard of HGH and had never talked to McNamee about HGH then said he talked to McNamee about HGH when his wife had a negative reaction from taking it)

the list goes on and on....Rodger should have just come clean and we all would have moved on.

I am a registered republican (though I lean left on most social issues) and those would be my talking points.

Did you just cast aspersions on an entire class of people based on heresay and conjecture?

Maybe you had it backwards.
