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.

Well I wonder why? Maybe it was because he was a corrupt, selfish pork-face. Nixon paid the price and did the right thing by resigning. Clinton worried more about himself than the country and refused to resign. And you want to lecture us on consistency?

>>>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.

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.

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

Clinton was a rapist. Plain and simple. The MSM gave him a pass, when ostensibly it was their responsibility to out him.

He was the most investigated because he generated the most evidence of illegal activity of any elected official since Tammany Hall.

The advantage was in the media coverage. Yes, when their backs were to the wall they had to report investigations and various other matters that happened publicly enough they were forced to do so.

But then the mitigating began and the endless polls assuring the "American people" that they didn't care. Also the portrayal of the critics was always less than admiring. In fact, accusers and critics were constantly vilified and denigrated.

What happens is when a Republican is the subject, the media hypes and exaggerates (witness various stories about President GW Bush and on back to his father, Reagan and of course Nixon). With democrats it is constant minimizing and explaining away.
