I like your idealism. However, as Bubba has consistently proven, good does not ALWAYS triumph over evil in the real world. The principles are still important and worth fighting for even if its the political equivalent of Custer's Last Stand. JLA

<< If the Republican party were not conducting the trial because of beliefs and/or principles, then why are we doing it? >> I really feel that there are a lot of dishonorable men and/or radicals in the Republican Party. Perhaps they are attacking the President in a power play to boost their own egos? Perhaps they are trying to damage the Democratic Party by hampering their ability to raise funds and by trying to do damage to the Democratic Party leadership? Perhaps some of the dangerous religious zealots behind this Republican attack on the Democratic Party think that they are doing this for their god? If the Republican Party knew that they would lose so much credibility with the American People they would've attacked our government from another angle. << I appreciate Democrats' concern for the welfare of the Republican Party, ... >> You got me wrong! I didn't say I was concerned for their welfare, I said that the Republicans will be ON welfare after the 2000 elections. <g> << but I prefer to move forward with the trial, take our chances at the polls, and let history be the final judge. >> I prefer that you move forward with the trial also. I want to see Clinton found not guilty. As far as history judging. You won't have to wait too long. The 2000 elecctions are right around the corner. <g> << Because in the end, good ALWAYS triumphs over evil >> What about those who believe that this Republican abuse of power, and attack against our two party system is evil? What about the religious hatred being spread by some of the religious zealots behind this unfair attack against our President. If you are looking for evil, you might find more than you wish right in your own party. << ... which is why the Democratic party will go down in history as the party who thinks it's own leaders are exempt from the laws they force upon everyone else. >> Exempt from the laws? Who is exempt? We have laws covering the impeachment of the President. Those laws are being misused by the Republican Party simply because they have the majority in Congress. The Repubicans have sowed the seeds of discord, by abusing the trust that the people placed in them. Let's see how the Republican harvest looks in the 2000 elections when the public has a chance to get even with the Republican Party for the contempt shown towards the American People.

Judicial Watch Press Release 02/03/99 Judicial Watch IS BLUMENTHAL IN BED WITH CARVILLE AND FLYNT? Extent of White House Smear Operation Should Be Probed By Investigators In addition to any possible role he played in portraying Monica Lewinsky as a "stalker" to the media, House prosecutors and other investigators should probe possible links between Clinton adviser Sidney Blumenthal and James Carville, Larry Flynt, and other White House allies smearing investigators, witnesses, and perceived Clinton adversaries. "The White House smear operation should be thoroughly investigated by House prosecutors," said Larry Klayman, General Counsel and Chairman of Judicial Watch. "Is Sidney Blumenthal in contact with the President's private detectives? Is Mr. Blumenthal disseminating information from government files on perceived Clinton adversaries?" Pursuant to a subpoena, James Carville produced to Judicial Watch a file he was keeping on Kathleen Willey - the woman who has accused Bill Clinton of an improper sexual advance in the Oval Office. In Carville's Willey file was a document with fax markings indicating that it came from Sidney Blumenthal. The markings indicate the document was faxed to Carville on July 31, 1997. The document was produced by Carville, along with nearly 15,000 other pages and telephone conversation audio tapes Carville created and kept on adversaries. "Did Mr. Blumenthal help Mr. Carville develop information on Kathleen Willey? Did this type of activity continue after Mr. Blumenthal arrived at the White House?" asked Klayman. Carville testified in his Judicial Watch Filegate video deposition that he did have contact with Mr. Blumenthal at the White House. Carville also testified that President Clinton consulted with him prior to the White House release of letters from Kathleen Willey to the media in an attempt to discredit her as a witness. The release of the Willey letters was a violation of the Privacy Act. The full text of the Carville deposition is available on the Judicial Watch Internet site at www.judicialwatch.org. "Mr. Blumenthal likely knows more than just about Monica Lewinsky. He could be a window into the Clinton White House smear operation. We hope the House prosecutors ask him the right questions," concluded Klayman.
