Roger Clemens acquitted

[BPTactical]

It sounded to me like the message was don't lie while under oath to the congress.

Given Holders performance before Congress numerous times that message means exactly DICK!

I don't think the message that they were trying to send was not to do steroids. It sounded to me like the message was don't lie while under oath to the congress.

Correct... Only congress and the pres are allowed to lie.

Hmmm maybe if they went after people like Holder instead I might be more convinced

edit: damn you BP typing my thoughts while I think them

Don't these guys usually get busted for lying to Congress or something?

Why in the hell were they even having congressional hearings in the first place, show me where congress has the right to hear testimony on private situations, if they juiced they violated a civil contract

No arguments here. I hate the way our government is being run. You forgot that our government is way smarter than us and are above the law......or that's what those assholes think anyways.

As far as why they were having steroids hearings? Who knows, but irregardless if you lie to them then you deserve what you get. Clemens was guilty. Just another case of good things happen to horrible people.

Bonds got a minor slap on the wrist.

both have their hall of fame chances in severe jeopardy. I wouldn't vote for bonds, but I would for Clemens.

lying to congress is not lying anymore. It is just not releasing all of the truth!
Eric Holder can attest to that statement.

I am a fan of baseball. I don't like the fact players are doping. With that said. Why was this even before Congress? Shouldn't baseball monitor it themselves?

It went before a congressional committee because the house and senate are inept at doing anything that is actually beneficial, for the people, so they went after baseball.
You actually want our elected officials to do something productive

One in ten houses in my neighborhood is in foreclosure & vacant and the Congress thinks it is appropriate dwell on this trivial matter? We need to do to our government what we did to the Iraqi government of Saddam Hussein...
