>>>Clinton was the most investigated president<<<

Bull $hit! He was probably the most pardoned, forgiven thieving, crooked (and that does include LBJ) low life petty crook President we have ever had.

The only reason he couldn't go BIG TIME CROOK is that Hillary won't give up the Top Spot, she has her eye on a bigger Prize.

I knew Beamer [sic] didn't do it... No middle name. All the good assassins have three names.

In Woodwards column yesterday, he refers to Bremer as "Arthur H. Bremer", LOL.

John Kerry broke into an opponents headquarters. Look at The Lowell Sun or Lawrence Eagle Tribune archives for the story.

Also in honor of Mr. Felt's preemtion of Woodward's book after the failed shakedown. He should now be known as Deep Pockets.
Follow the money Carl.

It had absolutely nothing to do with corruption.

Oh, yes it did! He and "his wife" intimidated everyone who came forward to tell the truth. The OLD MEDIA ignored them or trashed them. Just because the spineless Republicans didn't have the guts to stand up to the criminal doesn't mean he and his administration and mainly "his wife" weren't corrupt!

Maybe someone would like to tell us where the "lost" emails are, who hired Craig Livingstone, why the travel office employees were fired, why Vince Foster decided to commit suicide in a park, who hid the billing records and why, who used the IRS on their perceived enemies, who rifled through FBI files of Republicans, why Web Hubbell needed to "roll over one more time" while serving time in prison, why Susan McDougal decided prison was easier than telling the truth and why was she pardoned, who put Rose Law firm records in the back of an abandoned car which was found after a tornado in Arkansas, why no one in the OLD MEDIA had the guts to ask Bill Clinton if he raped Juanita Brodderick, how Ron Brown's plane crashed right before he was to testify in a case against the Clintons, why the Clintons seem to have so many corrupt "friends" who end up going to jail, ruined or dead, who sold our military secrets to China and why, why did they sell nights in the Lincoln bedroom for campaign cash (including members of the OLD MEDIA), how their relatives sold pardons, what happened at Waco which also killed innocent women and children, why Elian was shipped back to communist Cuba when his mother risked her life to bring him to America, what happened at Ruby Ridge, why Janet Reno blocked so many investigations, why Hillary can't seem to remember *hit under oath, etc., etc., etc.

Are you really serious? Since when should either party be exempt from corruption investigations? When were was the left ever exempt? It seems that Clinton was the most investigated president. So where were they given an advantage? If Felt thought that nobody above him would investigate this problem then who would he go to?

If this occured to Clinton then you would be celebrating this guy! Please choose a consistent position.

You sir, just stated exactly what I was arguing, through sarcasm. For instance, I have liberal friends who argue that it's ok what Clinton did in the White House and that it was a waste of taxpayer money to investigate him. Yet they applaud going after Delay. I say both are investigatable, so when it's found, let the truth speak for itself. I was not saying that the left has been exempt, but the mindset of the left (and of much of the right as well) is that "We're right, you're wrong, there must be a conspiracy", etc.

And how do you know that I would be celebrating this guy? Do you know me? Please refrain from making such assumptions.

When were was the left ever exempt?

Would you like to try that in English?!

nice! dude, take a breath! =P

would have won the '72 Dem

He was coming on strong, surprising a lot of people. Not because of the segregation thing, though.

[AzaleaCity5691]

Oh it's correct alright

Most of the Reagan Democrats of the 80s had been Wallace Democrats in 1972. Wallace was very popular with organized labor, because not only was he a populist on economics, but he was also a conservative on social matters. Surprisingly (or not) enough, Wallace had a friend in Richard Daley Sr.


When Daley gave his moronic speech where he said all handguns should be outlawed (in 1972) the reason he said they should be outlawed is because a "maniac" had used one to make an attempt on the life of such a great statesmen as Wallace


It's widely believed in Alabama that Wallace had made a deal with Daley, and its not as if Daley and Wallace didn't sympathize with each other anyway


With the support of working-class whites and Southerners, Wallace would have definitely taken the Democratic nomination, and Wallace would have posed a very serious threat to Nixon


Because with Wallace at the top, the Democrats would have won every former Confederate State, Oklahoma, they would have run real strong in Indiana, they would have taken Michigan, Illinois, very probably Ohio and Pennsylvania. Basically, in 1972, the economy was not doing well, and Wallace's populist rhetoric would have been very popular against Nixon. Add to the fact that there ain't no way you could paint George Wallace as a liberal, and Nixon would have been on shaky ground.

It's my personal belief that Wallace would have been elected President had he not been shot. Wallace would have been able to attack Nixon from both the left and the right at the same time, and Wallace on the ticket would have assured that the few Republicans that did hold office in the South that were up for re-election, would have lost their seats in short order.

its for this reason that I believe that while Bremer did act alone, someone in the secret service set it up so that Wallace could be shot. They knew who Bremer was, as he was following Wallace across the country, and they certainly knew that the guy was a screwball, and given the thoroughness of investigations during the Nixon admin, they certainly knew he was packing heat.


Also, in 1972, Wallace was not running on segregation, as he formally gave that up in his 1971 inauguration speech

Careful.......you hang around here long enough and you will lose your place at DU.

[alrea]

Remember he wasn't convicted of ANYTHING by a Republican congress other than lying under oath

teehee

[Spirited]

A few years ago on FR there would have been posts about being "equal under the law". There are none of these any longer.

It is now well understood that that old fangled idea has gone by the way. Some people are far more equal than others and we make heroes out of quite a number of criminals.

Isa 59:4 None calleth for justice, nor [any] pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.
----------------------------------------------------------
Isa 59:14 And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.
Isa 59:15 Yea, truth faileth; and he [that] departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw [it], and it displeased him that [there was] no judgment.

[savedbygrace]

Nixon resigned because he was told by House vote-counters that the impeachment forces had enough votes in the House, and he didn't want America to suffer through that.

[Toskrin]

I do think it is a valid way of doing things when nobody above him can be trusted. Who else is he going to tell? How should he have proceeded?

That's not that hard. I'm sure he had lots of friends in the Attorney General's office who weren't loyal to Mitchell and who might bring charges. Well, if he didn't then he could publically announce an investigation despite FBI Director Gray's objections. Gray would understand that he could either support it or go down with the ship. If that wasn't Felt's cup of tea, he could go to a Democrat in the Congress with some oversight power and get a Special Investigator.

Felt knew he was wrong to do what he did. He admitted as much and had very little nice to say about "Deep Throat" through the years.

Do you agree that breaking and entering is a good way to run the govenment?

No, Nixon brought this upon himself and deserved what he got. Unlike Bill Clinton, Ted Kennedy, and the other Dem lawbreakers, at least he had the decency to resign.

Who said that these people were his political enemies? He didn't pick sides. He leaked info on both the Dems and the GOP.

What did he leak on the Dems? The George Wallace stuff? How does that hurt the Dems? That just shows that he severely lacked judgement. There was no reason to leak that, other than to help Woodward's career.

[Zhangliqun]

You might think that Clinton was corrupt but nobody was able to pin anything on him directly.

14 convictions, including a sitting governor (Jim Guy Tucker), in the Whitewatergate scandal. You really think the Clintons were able to swim around in that septic tank and not get any @#$% on them? They were just Slick Willy-er than the MacDougalls et al. You sound like Bruce Cutler telling us what a great guy John Gotti was and how there's no such thing as La Cosa Nostra.

Remember he wasn't convicted of ANYTHING by a Republican congress other than lying under oath about a sexual affair. It had absolutely nothing to do with corruption.

To this microsecond it amazes me how people have such crippling myopia about the dangers of a president having extramarital affairs, especially a guy who doesn't just occasionally stray but just can't keep his pants on to save his life.

If you were a government unfriendly toward the United States and you knew the American president was a pathological philanderer, what way might you choose to infiltrate the White House? Do you remember the scandal with the Marines at the Moscow embassy back in the 1980's? The Russkies sent hookers to bed them down and then blackmail them into giving up embassy secrets via pillowtalk.

Screwing around with any skirt that walks by -- especially with so much on the line -- is the heart and soul of corruption. Who knows what Clinton may have given up to spies and moles among his legion of dalliances?

Or is your version of the judicial system that you are guilty until proven innocent?

Not this line again! Mr. Cutler your objection is overruled on account of your client, Mr. Gotti, being dead and stuff.

(Whereas the lefty line is that Republicans are guilty until proven even MORE guilty...)

[Fitzcarraldo]

Felt never heard of a grand jury?

[SerpentDove]

"The guy showed that he is nonpartisan and is just interested in good, non-corrupt government."

And he proved it by breaking the law, from one of the highest offices in the land.

[Richard from IL]

I wonder if Felt knew anything about Johnson and the massive bribes he took in Texas. Agnew was a piker compared to Johnson in terms of corruption.

[Clemenza]

If Felt was so concerned about dishonesty in government, he should have RESIGNED and THEN give Woodstein the info.
