>>Chi-coms?? You wallow in paranoia, dude, that term hasn't been current since the '60s. And the Chinese have had ICBMs capable of reaching the US since the late 1950s. They have less than 30 warheads, a force with no conceivable value other than as a deterrent to a US strike.

OK, the Chinese totalitarians. Apparently you missed the Cox Report. Until Clinton allowed the transfer - remember the State Dept had refuse so Clinton took the authority and gave it to Commerce - the Chinese had not the missile tech to target the US accurately. The Chinese paid Clinton and Loral and its head were Clinton's largest donors.

>>Campaign finance has been a dirty business since the first political campaign. I doubt that Clinton did anything that hadn't been done repeatedly before.

You really are very very ignorant. And just because you wallow in your ignorance that doesn't mean that Clinton didn't do what even Dick Morris has said he did in relation to illegal fund raising in exchange for policy changes.

And certainly Clinton's illegal actions have never been done before in scale or scope by any post Watergate "reform" President and that fact is a primary thrust behind the current move for more "reform".

>>. He's not smart enough to come up with anything really new, and politicians have been digging up sneaky ways to bring in cash for so long that there may not be any new possibilities.

What Clinton did was new to the post Watergate era. Any reform can be breached by a criminal mind, Clinton proved that. Reform means nothing to him, to them. "Reform" is merely another means for them to escape responsibility, claiming "it's not Clinton, it's the system" - but history has shown that is not true. That's a diversion the sycopohants or the undiscerning buy but not anyone with any knowledge.
