Nice try but you're playing fast & loose with the facts. Your
headlines sound so ominous, but the links tell another story.

Your first link is about one GOP donor. There are plenty of
DNC donors under indictment.

Your 2nd link requires registration. The headline tells me
nothing that would imply any GOP corruption.

Your third link hurts Democrats more than Republicans. Why?
Because the mere fact that Fitzgerald has indicted 60
Republicans proves nothing. It's a well known fact that most
criminals are registered Democrats. You go that angle & you'd
lose by a country mile. The numbers would be staggering.

Your 4th & 5th link relate to the Delay indictment. And based
on the facts, you aren't going to get a GOP conviction. You
should get a DNC conviction for the abuse of office by
prosecutor Ronnie Earle.

Now if you want 60 indictments with teeth in them, the
Clinton Admin had 60.
