Since when and why did this become a partisan issue?!!!

Have you seen the evidence against Clemens?

I liked Clemens for his achievements and still think he should be in the HOF, but I’m not blindly biased in his favor.

It’s clear to me that he has lied through his teeth repeatedly under oath. His brazenness in doing so should be rewarded with big time jail time.

The Republican congressman who shilled and pandered themselves for him should be ashamed of themselves.

There is no doubt in my mind that Clemens has perjured himself.

Where has our party gone?

Big time jail time should only be awarded for crimes proven in a court of law. The evidence needs to be “beyond a shadow of a doubt”, and that does not include opinions based solely on how a defendant presents himself.

In this case, there is no credible evidence (that I have seen) that proves Clemens guilty of perjury (which is the only legal charge he could face, IIRC).

Where has our party gone? To the dogs, if unproven allegations are sufficient to deprive a man of his liberty.

Henry Waxman completely agrees with you and he is quite happy that his plan worked. And I’m sure he is glad that you support his efforts.
