The special prosecutor law expired and the Clinton administration, the media and the Democrats in congress did all they could to see that it was not reinstated. There are no more special prosecutors.
The simple fact is for a scandal to influence voters , it has to effect them directly. Thus the clinton scandal of screwing Monica's mouth in the oval office did not bother people because it was not their mouth and not their daughter.
Tons of things can happen and the public does not care as long as it does not effect them directly. You can't even hurt a policitian by saying his economic plan did not work. The Republicans tried that all through the depression years. The Republicans back then were as stupid as the Democrats are today. Franklin Roosevelt tried all sorts of leftist economic schemes. None of them worked. The Republicans were sure that the public would blame FDR for the failure. They did not do so. The Public saw that Roosevelt was trying to fix the economy. The Repbulicans of the era pointed out every day why Roosevelts stuff was not working very well. But the Republicans like Daschle the Democrat only got pubicity for tearing into Roosevelts failure. They did not make a big deal of how they thought the problem should be solved. Back then it only FDR trying to fix the economy. Today the public thinks only Dubya is trying to fix the economy. When the economy is sick, the public always goes with the side proposing a treatment. They reject the side that does not propose a treatment. It is the same with people. When they are sick they will go with the doctor that proposes treatment of the illness, rather than a doctor that offers no treatment. Tearing into the other doctors treatment plans with out a plan of his own, makes the patients mad at the doctor that will not prescribe.
The Public stayed with Roosevelt and the Democrats becuase he was at least trying to do something about the economy, and the Republicans of the 1930s only stood in his way.
That is the same stupid tactic that Daschle and the media are following today. Bush is seen as they guy trying to fix things. Democrats are seen as doing nothing to fix things. Democrats are doing a lot to attack Bush and his plans. That is very counter productive.Clinton was smarter than all of today's Democrats put together.
It works like this. Imaging you are dying of cancer. One doctor says here are some pills I think they have a shot at curing your cancer. The other doctor says, don't take that medicine it will not work. It is bad medicine. Don't take it, it is a rip off. If the cancer patient thinks there is one chance in 10,000 the medicine will work, he or she will take it..as directed. The same goes for voters at the polls.
Daschle does not have a clue.
