Absolutely. My previous take was to balance moderate Republicans for economic issues, with a moderate Democratic President to keep the Repubs. in some sort of moderate check, but still making some reforms.

My current attitude is to just scourge Republicans left and right as all being potential servants of the RR base pressure. For instance, I don't know before if I would have voted for Schumer instead of D'Amato. I find D'Amato personally distasteful. But he's also an economic moderate, for the most part. Schumer's pretty liberal all across the board. Well, now I'm remembering D'Amato's early Whitewater extremist jihads that were going nowhere but he kept it going on and on.

Right now D'Amato's out of there, as far as I'm concerned. I'm voting AGAINST all national level Republicans without paying much attention to anything else. Put the sanctimony back in its box.

Doug

Michelle, you still don't get it, do you? The Republicans don't base their actions on "finger in the wind" legislation -- like Klintoon does. And the Congress, which is controlled by Republicans, doesn't either.

Dream on. Janet Reno knew darn well that Clinton was more than likely guilty of perjury, which is a form of Obstruction of Justice, and so she could not stop Starr, otherwise you know she would have. Even if Clinton escapes with his remaining lame-duck term, you know his legacy has been irreparably tarnished beyond repair. His tawdry use of the Oval Office, his childish word-play trying to dodge and evade questions from the Grand Jury - mostly middle-aged black women - is now a part of history. You can bet that Clinton wishes dearly that Janet had said no to Starr.

Yes Michelle, Janet Reno does know what perjury is, and as Carl (Bilow) posted last night, legal Perjury does definitely include remaining silent while your attorney tells a blatant falsehood in your behalf: It is indeed perjury, "for the purposes of misleading this Federal Court", and is a sentenceable felony.

Bye bye, Bubba. Say hello to prison blues. The man is no more than a criminal-to-be.
