The question is, what are the Republicans going to do now? Are they going to allow Orrin Hatch to continue sweeping this under the rug as if this was much ado about nothing? The Republicans accidently stumble on a devious plot concocted by the Democrats and they act like deer staring at the high beamed headlights. The Republicans have the goods on the Democrats, and they should be hitting back at the Democrats, not sweeping this under the rug as if this were much ado about nothing!!

If there were another legitimate party to get in bed with, I'd divorce the Republicans in a NY minute. They make me sick. Thanks to their patrician gentleman's cooperation of looking the other way when wrong doing occurs, middle America is wondering, "WTH" (some would use an "F") and everything gets totally disconnected and DISGUSTED.

The answer to your first question is nothing. The answer to your second question is yes.

I couldn't agree more. If the documents truly have been leaked already, release them all! When the Dims in the California state house left that microphone on, letting the Republican minority know they intended to push the budget even further out of whack in order to get a tax increase, the Republicans had the good sense to release the information to the press. That helped to bring down Gray Davis, and will probably help reelect George Bush.

Hatch is such a milk toast. Raises the white flag before any action occurs.
