Talk about the stove calling the kettle black. LOL What about Watergate burglars, the bags of cash coming into CREEP, the dirty tricks squad. Agnew forced to quit over bribery charges. And those were just the guys who got caught. Irancontra - funding the secret illegal war by doing business with drug lords and selling weaponry to Iran. Bush Sr. lying saying he was out of the loop. Next up - Cheney now refusing to hand over Enron papers which may shed light on the massive phony energy crisis scandal of 200-2001 which gouged us for 40 billion and helped put Bush over the top. Haley Barbour representing both the GOP and the soft money lobbyists cutting deals between them, while raising money through PACS in Asia. Bush and Enron. Enough said. So far the opress has laid off Bush and he's gotten an almost free ride. So much for the "liberal" media. Are there any liberals left in the press? Doesn't seem so sometimes, especially on radio talk-shows. Meanwhile Whitewater came up with a perfect zero. As for Marc Rich, there is no evidence he paid Clinton for a pardon. But clearly that was a mistake which made Clinton look like a Republican.

Only a total idiot would suggest the Democrats are anything but corrupt. I don't say that Republicans are all squeaky clean, but the number of corrupt Democrats is an order of magnitude higher than Republicans You use to say they were all squeaky, squeaky clean. Now you say they are not all squeaky clean. So....you are making progress after all. Good for you! <g>

Re <<Only a total idiot would suggest the Democrats are anything but corrupt. >> There you again! Shouldn't the real conversation be about the best way to govern people with the goal of justice and prosperity for all that deserve it. Why is so many people attack the other sides character and intelligence rather than ideology. Mani

>Clinton's administration was comprised of rank amateurs, and the country suffered mightily for it. His mismanagement of Saddam Hussein is maybe the biggest blunder of an American administration in a hundred years. After Bush-I skillfully and perfectly ran a war which defeated Iraq, Clinton allowed him to violate the terms of the ceasefire without fear of retaliation. This was gross incompetence, and comes from having a crew comprised of weak-minded liberals running the country. I disagree that Bush handled it perfectly. If he had, Saddam wouldn't have still been in power after '91. Clinton had his chance, and F**ked it up too- badly. Bush Jr. is OK, but I'd have loved to have seen McCain get a whack at the War on Terrorism... McCain in '04, seriously... -Z
