When was the last time Olympia Snowe took her marching orders from Gary Bauer? Or John Warner from the Christian Coalition? Umm, that would be the last time they ran a primary race. TP

Is this Don Feder guy a pseudonym for you or something? What is this guy doing in Boston anyway? Isnt Boston supposed to be similar in political temperment to the bay area? A lot of people from here are moving there, they all think that - yikes! But, mark this well, not a single Republican defected. Liberals like Sen. Susan Collins (Maine), John Chaffee (R.I.) and James Jeffords (Vt.), who rarely side with their party's majority on any issue, cast their lot with Jesse Helms and John Ashcroft. Even if they're out of sync with the Republican philosophy, GOP moderates know what's at stake here: the integrity of our system of government. This refutes the latest White House spin - that by pushing the case against Clinton, congressional Republicans are kowtowing to their party's right-wing base. So we have come to admit that the GOP moderates are "out of sync" with republican philosophy now? Interesting, usually the republicans dont want to admit theyve been taken over by their extreme right. When was the last time Olympia Snowe took her marching orders from Gary Bauer? Or John Warner from the Christian Coalition? Duh. The last time they accepted money from the GOP national committee.

<<Last week, a solitary Democratic senator (Russell Feingold, a maverick from Wisconsin) voted with the solid Republican majority against dismissal>> I guess I'm just dumb but how does one Democrat defecting and no Republican defections make the Democrats the party of partisan politics? This only works if you assume that Clinton's crimes do indeed warrant being thrown out of office. So I suppose that if you are right about that then you are right about that also. ...........Himmmm..... pez
