The Barrett report

The bell has just rung on the 2008 presidential sweepstakes and already more entries have crowded into the gates than the American grandstand can count, much less account for. That's all to the good, as the only winners over the past two decades have been named either Bush or Clinton. Still, since nothing less than the fate of the nation seems to be at stake, it is imperative that all candidates be measured...

--snip--

    Deeply frustrated by nine seasons of blockading by Clinton lawyers and Democratic congressmen, Mr. Barrett issued a statement saying, "An accurate title for the report would be, 'What We Were Prevented from Investigating.' " What, indeed. In an online column written before he signed on as President Bush's press secretary, Tony Snow reported that by all accounts the redacted pages contained enough damning evidence to sink Mrs. Clinton's presidential ship.

--snip--

    I can personally vouch for the Clinton-IRS strategy. In 2002, after I had learned of Mr. Clinton's intrusion into the case I had reported to the IRS, I informed Mrs. Clinton of the facts I'd uncovered. Soon enough the IRS came calling with unwarranted tax demands and threats of criminal investigation. I replied accusing the IRS of conspiring with the Clintons and the media conglomerate to perpetrate "institutionalized terrorism." The agency, finally grasping the irony that it was seeking to punish its own whistleblower, quickly backed off.

--snip--

    Now that the senator from New York has announced "I'm in to win," voters should demand that their representatives release the mystery pages so that they may examine Mrs. Clinton red in tooth. Otherwise, Americans run the risk of going to the polls in 2008 seeking the rebirth of a nation only to discover that they have merely traded the devil for a witch.

Right, because this guy knows she's unfit for CIC.

[Txsleuth]

Sounds like THIS liberal wants it out...not sure that the majority would, if they are Hillary fans.

[Mo1]

We need a leaker

exactly!

[Eva]

bump for tomorrow

[Mo1]

the base will vote for her in the General Election if they have no choice .. but make no mistake ... they hate her

Sounds like they want to take her out in the primaries

[Txsleuth]

I am thinking we may not have a much better choice..

Did you see Ann Coulter on Bill O'Reilly?? She was not her usually bubbly self as Bill was trying to pin her down on who she would vote for in 2008.

[Mo1]

I was out and missed the show
sounds like she's keeping her powder dry

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

Another story from Mr. Goodman from last year:

Lawmakers question USCP

"When the police won't do their jobs, what is there to say, BLOAT? I'm afraid we're going back to the 60s, as in the 1960s, but maybe the early 1860s as the politics have become more polarized, IMHO, thanks to the loony left."

Things are looking quite dismal.

Thanks for the link.

I have the same recollection, Txsleuth. We could both be mistaken, but that's what I remember

[Txsleuth]

Thank you, save!!

I knew you would remember.

Update: I just received a letter from our local (51rst District) NY State Senator, James Seward (R).

Dear Mr. XXXXXX,

"Thank you for sharing the article published in the Washington Times with me. I appreciate hearing from you."

"I agree with your assessment -- very interesting. Unfortunately, I do not have the means at my disposal to obtain the missing 120 pages of the investigation..."

"However, you may wish to contact Congresswoman Kirsten Gillibrand by mail at 120 Cannon House Office Building, Washington, D,C., 20515 or by phone at 202-225-5614."

With best wishes,

I remain,
Sincerely yours,
James L. Seward
