Scumbria,,,Re The new President is taking bribe money from oil companies during his inauguration ceremonies, and the Republican Congress is off investigating a Clinton pardon. Quite an infrastructure of diversion your party has created.

I am not going to argue with you over whether inauguration money is cleaner than campaign donations. I will agree that campaign donations to GW or the republican party smack of corruption if you agree that any campaign donations to the Democratic party also smack of corruption. Lets work to get rid of all soft money from both sides.

As far as Bill is concerned; I have no doubt he will skate out of this. But These hearings probably will hurt the Democratic party more than the republican party, especially when you have all of these charges of corruption near tax time. Hillary probably killed off her presidential ambitions, and the dems. who defended Bill's corruption will get hurt, mainly Gephardt. I am not so sure they can overcome this.

Scumbria,

The new President is taking bribe money from oil companies during his inauguration ceremonies.

That's how the game is played these days. Just look at the funding of the party conventions, and the parties themselves.

It looks like your newly found outrage about this form of political fundraising coincides with Clinton taking a temporary brake from these activities.
