Two-thirds of all respondents, and slightly more than half of Republicans, said business interests had too much influence on the Republican Party.

I think it says a great deal, that after the assault Bush and Cheney have sustained from the liberals and left-wing radical media, only 2/3 believe this. These assaults are TOTALLY without foundation, yet they continue.


If I chaired the Rep. party, I wound find those numbers disturbingly high.......but what do I know, I'm only a liberal.

Accounting professionals, who understand the concepts involved (and pretty much are the ONLY people who understand the issues) do not believe there are problems in either of these cases. To me, however, it is obvious that the McAuliffe situation involved some kind of quid pro quo, yet it gets no attention from the left-wing radical media.

I understand what you're saying but you really don't know the "McAuliffe situation" as well as you think.

It is sad that the liberals continue to practice the politics of personal destruction. They cannot win on the issues, so they use lies and innuendo in their efforts to accomplish their ends. Fortunately, I think the American public wised up to it after the Clinton impeachment, and realize you have to have people of character running the country.

When do you think we'll get some of these people of character?

I have to wonder why you would defend men as rich as Bush and Cheney, particularly Bush. That sucker has traded off his family name since the get go.......he got into Yale on his name, he made nearly a million bucks selling a failing company, and he got the Sup. Ct to get him elected. If you really believe in integrity, you'd have to wonder about the character of this guy. Anyone with some smarts would be able to see beyond the goodwill 9/11 wrapped around this guy and get who we have as president........the former president of Deke fraternity.

Asked specifically whether they thought Mr. Cheney had done anything unethical while running Halliburton, 23 percent said yes and 32 percent said no.

You have 23% extremist liberals (like, well, you) who would accuse Cheney regardless of the facts. You have 32% who fully understand the facts, then you have a whopping 48% who simply don't know WHAT to think. That the liberals would lie and mislead these 48% is sad, sickening, but typical.


Once again, you don't read very well what I write. They'll get Bush on insider trading [if they get him on anything] and Cheney on his sale of equipment to Iraq. All the rest is simply blowing smoke.

They deserved to be hung out to dry over these issues. Lets see if we are clean enough to make it happen.

Welcome to the Crash Talk Weekend
7/19/02 03:45 PM ET

Sounds like we have a crash talk weekend on our hands. The politicos will be out in full force come Sunday, talking about their constituents "new" issue. I'll bet you see Bush become Mr Stock Market in the next few weeks. His popularity is at risk because the selloff is hitting the mid 1990s retirement funds. I'm not a currency guy but my bet is a sudden dollar intervention (because he says he favors a weak dollar, but a dollar intervention will attract foreigners into the US markets). I think he is dumb as dirt when it comes to world markets. I'm a Republican but we could sure could use Clinton's market touch.
