I couldn't agree with you more, that "There comes a point when government officials have to stop bitching about how awful the previous administration was and take some steps to fix it."

But in this instance, when INS personnel can't be fired, and systems can't be changed by the stroke of a Presidential pen, and we've got an obstructionist democrat senate, then we have to have patience.

In the meantime, the more people who are reminded about Gore's intentional corruption of government agencies, the better. As long as Gore remains a potential presidential candidate in 2004, as long as he holds power of persuasion and kinship with the DNC, we've got to make cerain the voting public is well informed. Clinton's crimes are now irrelevant, no need harping on him, (except for fun), but Al Gore is a different matter. Same goes for Hillary.

Sungirl, O'Reilly did have something to say about the Wellstone memorial campaign rally. It was on the Radio Factor today.

But the problem I have with this is that they are just excuses for inaction. Yes, they are all true, but the problem is something must be done. Try to fire one of them. Fight the union thugs in court. I may be naive and overly optimistic, but personally I think if people saw what sort of incompetant losers the unions support they'd be more likely to side with the President.

Make the guy that let Malvo get away the poster boy for the whole thing. Besides the legal issues, you also have an appeal to emotion, which works in public debate. I don't want the GOP to become a dishonest sleaze machine like the Democratic Party, but it is possible to make an emotional appeal and use other tricks of public debate while still being honest and standing by one's principles.

I fully agree that people need to be reminded of how much Clinton screwed up the INS etc., but I think the best way to do it is to try and do something about it, then publicize why it didn't work - not just do nothing and say that's why you aren't trying.
