He should step down for the good of the country. By him not doing it, shows the "good of the country" is NOT what concerns him. LOL. You logic would hold up if this were 13th-15th century France or Spain.

Oh come on Cola, you don't believe that drivel. Are you trying some kind of experiment or something?

Mr. Gephardt's Reform Values Tuesday, December 16, 2003; Page A36 OKAY, POLITICAL MONEY buffs, it's time for a game of connect-the-dots. The machinists union endorses Rep. Richard A. Gephardt (D-Mo.). The machinists union makes a "significant" contribution to Americans for Jobs, Healthcare and Progressive Values (AJHPV), according to union political director Richard Michalski. The same AJHPV, a new organization, runs television ads in Iowa and elsewhere attacking former Vermont governor Howard Dean. Mr. Dean is Mr. Gephardt's leading rival for votes in the Iowa Democratic caucuses. With us so far? Then continue: Leo Hindery, a cable television executive, is a national finance co-chair of the Gephardt campaign. Mr. Hindery is also a backer of AJHPV. The organization's chief fundraiser is a former Gephardt fundraiser, David Jones. Its president, Edward F. Feighan, a former Ohio congressman, has given the maximum $2,000 to the Gephardt campaign. Is a picture beginning to emerge? If so, it's not a pretty one, at least as it pertains to Mr. Gephardt, an ostensible supporter of campaign finance reform. The AJHPV is spending about $500,000 on TV spots, which began in Iowa and started running in South Carolina and New Hampshire this weekend. But it prefers to attack Mr. Dean without revealing its backers -- or their connections to the Gephardt campaign. The latest spot goes after Mr. Dean's inexperience in military and foreign policy. "Howard Dean just cannot compete with George Bush on foreign policy," it warns. "It's time for Democrats to think about that -- and think about it now." That may be -- but Democrats might also want to think about who's making this pitch. Unfortunately, they may not know the complete list until the Iowa caucuses are over. The group will eventually have to report its donors and expenses, but unless it runs broadcast ads within 30 days of the primary, that information won't be available until February. Mr. Gephardt says he doesn't know anything about AJHPV. Asked in an interview last week whether he would urge the group to reveal its donors, Mr. Gephardt demurred. "I guess this is the world we're in," he said resignedly. "I can't make them do it." No, but you'd think a statement of support for openness might carry some weight, given how many of Mr. Gephardt's fans are bankrolling the organization. Mr. Gephardt was a moving force behind campaign finance reform. His lack of interest in the subject now is telling. washingtonpost.com

poor poor thing, your assertion errr.. ranting are a clear certain and compelling mental retardation and or dementia certification event cue. The action taken against saddam in Iraq by the President was based upon the authorization of a joint resolution of the congress. Now in that joint resolution over a dozen reasons are given. Each of them was true and is true now. So I'd suggest you read it and stop with your 2 year old hissyfit already LOL... #reply-19600245 Now I've even taken the time to make finding out the truth easy. Well that's if you actually can read. have a nice day...
