1. The lack of trust that you continue to harp on as the basis for your strawman. It doesn't wash, we have been here for the last eight years watching Burton subpeona everything under the sun in an attempt to get Clinton, so why whould his latest attempt come as a shock? If Gore were President he'd be doing the same thing he's doing now. Trust has nothing to do with it, you seeing this as an opportunity to lob a few Molitov cocktails at Bush to prop up Keyes is your sole motivation. As some one who voted for Keyes in the SC Primary, your help in the manner in which you have chosen to give it is not needed nor appreciated.
2. Yes, Arthur you are trying to destroy Bush, and your attempt to do so borders on if not crosses the line into slander.
3. No, Arthur this is not Political Chess. It's a matter of placing the Nation's problems that affect us all over the wants and needs of a few people's need for the immediate gradifacation of finally getting Clinton. It called priorities.
4. Again with the name calling, first Bush is untrustworthy, now he's a coward. Got any more goodies stashed away in your bag of insults?
5. Your outrage is totally manufactured. you saw an opportunity to score a few points and you went for it. As far as God's plans for some one, you're being awfully presumptuous aren't you? Only God has the right to make that decision and I don't think God would appreciate you doing it for him.
6. 3rd Party vs primary fight, well it worked real well for Perot didn't it? He's the one that assured us getting Clinton in the first place. You must work within the Party for change. Going out side it only assures both your and your former party's demise.
7. We may actually be in agreement somewhat here believe it or not. I personally have no use for liberals or moderates(liberal lite IMHO), they tend to whine and generally gum up the works when they don't get their way.
Go back and look at the votes in the primaries for Alexander, Dole, Keyes, Buchanan, Nader & Bradley. Add them up. Then start studying the postings from Freepers who have a lot of experience in getting people ELECTED.

I see now. You think that the Oversight Committee is goofy aye? I mean, if they DO trust him, they would be patient and simply ask for papers in a polite manner. Did Lott do a better job handling Clinton than the Oversight Comittee? Or Thompson? You think Thompson did a better job?
If I were 'out to get Bush', I would not have defended his family regarding Mena. Your assumption that I am agenda-driven is way off the mark. Also consider, I am able to listen to Rush Limbaugh. A true Bush basher would have bashed his radio several months ago.
Now, please explain how I slandered Bush. LOL. Your outrage is totally manufactured. you saw an opportunity to score a few points and you went for it. Oh? You know how I think do you? You got me 'pegged down'. Are you a psychology professor? You certainly do profess.
"...it only assures both your and your former party's demise." You are threatening my demise? Hm. My political demise I assume. You think I give a fig about that? Heheheh. I do what I can do and get on with my life. I used to be a democrat. Been independent ever since. In the last election, it appeared that 'the fix is in'. So I stayed independent. I'd join the GOP if I believed a true conservative would really fight early, fight often, and fight hard. I voted for Keyes as an independent in the primary. Now you think I'm still some villian out to destroy Bush? LOL.
. As far as God's plans for some one, you're being awfully presumptuous aren't you? Only God has the right to make that decision and I don't think God would appreciate you doing it for him. Oh quoting scripture is being presumptuous? In Revelation, it is written that the lukewarms will be spewn out. And some other poster, not yourself, referred to a time some smart alec wiped the microphone and table top after Keyes made a particularly hot speech. That particular poster seemed to think that making fun of Keyes was wonderful. So if you wonder why I made that remark, it has nothing to do with you or Bush. But it sounds like you noticed a little lukewarm tendancy somewhere I didn't notice. Hm.... I will say this, you are no lukewarm. =]
You also conclude that I'm a partizan for Keyes, purely agenda-driven. Well actually, Judge Roy Moore, Ron Paul, Dana Rohrabacher, and many others would get my support if they entered the primary right away. Any of them would do. Others too. Helen Cheneweth, for example. Heck. I'd love JimRob to run. Or Doug from Upland. They would all do a fine job as a conservative leader. Rush of course, is badly needed right where he is.
Oh you mean Perot and Ralph Nader? Without their help, Bush would have lost. LOL. He had a lot of money, but apparently another 20 mil would have been helpful. It was close.
My apologies to Bush. Anyone who can tick off Waxman has something going for him.
