A number of them have picked up on real weaknesses of Dubya, the major media ignores that. If the major media picks up the false ones and start to hammer him over it, or Congress investigates him based on that, I'll change my mind about Smirk. Since only the guys on the soapbox are hammering him, I'll keep it in reserve<<<<< I thought so. How did you get that out of my post? I do say they get special treatment, deserved or not.<<<<< You said Bill had some zipper problems..So what? I said... Most people with zipper problems get fired nowadays. You replied that most CEO get special treatment. To me, that is your reason for saying all other people with zipper problems should be fired, but lets not hold Bill accountable because most CEO's get special treatment. I say if we are going to hold Ted accountable, or me or you for zipper problems, why not Bill; president or CEO, whatever. But not for his affair. At least that was a very low-key mention at the time of his resignation. <<<<< It was mainly because of the affair. Newt himself said it was because he had lost his ability to lead. He was too much of an embarrassment for the reps. who were going to take leadership of the house away, because of his affair, so he resigned. Mitchell also resigned, why not Bill? You can have your suspicions, and so may I, but taking the fifth is not considered to ba an admission of guilt. <<<<<< I didn't say it was an admission of guilt. You said the charges were baseless. I just pointed out that the rumors aren't baseless because two of the people involved in the Rich pardon have already taken the fifth. That gives the rumors a base, a justification for investigating further. While there may have been some behind the scenes scheming between Denise and Beth, it may not have involved His Billness. <<<<<<< You just never know, until you look into it. That is what congress and the Feds are doing. So if they spend another $100 million and investigate him and come up dry, what then? <<<<< Tell Bill that the investigation came up dry. Yup. Your point? Bill ain't running. <<<<<< Bill ain't, but Hillery and the rest of the dems probably will. Thats the point. As far as the spineless Congresscritters, well a large number likely should be in jail themselves...<< Agreed, but not before they vote for my tax decrease.
