"...Republicans attack and destroy their own, no matter how trivial the charges. The Republicans are doing the Democrats job for them.

Newt was a threat to Democrat, remember he gave us the first Republican House in 40 years,so when Democrats attacked him with phony charges, the Republicans couldn't wait to get on the bandwagon. Same with Lott, now people can be happy with Frist who really rolls over for Democrats.

Now they attack Bennett. And of course they attacked Bush,it's amazing that Republicans actually stood up for Bush.

Newt was a pot trying to call the kettle black. He had an immoral adulterous relationship going on at the same time he was dogging Clinton for his.

For someone moralizing as Bennett had, gambling away millions of dollars was totally inappropriate. The moralizing is ok, it's the irresponsible gambling that is wrong.

Let the housecleaning continue, out with all the trash! Do it right or get out! I do not live by the 'victory at any cost' creed.

It clearly was NOT irresponsible gambling, or he'd be on skid row. As someone pointed out, you can gamble a lot, all with the same money. They said, he went to some 10 casinoes in 12 years or the other way around. Sounds like he took a few days every year and went gambling. He gambled his own money and obviously didn't lose more than he could afford. He hurt nobody, it was for entertainment, so what's the big deal?

Gamble is a vice, if done in excess. To Bennet a few million may not be any more than a few hundred dollars to an average person, who gambles away five hundred dollars every year on a vacation to Las Vegas.

So do you think that Bush should be impeached because he, as CiC dared to land on a carrier to greet the troops and announce "mission accomplished".

It seems like you think, that if the Democrats attack a Republican, regardless of the ludicrousness or triviality of the charge, the Republicans should obligingly jump on the Democrat bandwagone against our own, let's just elect all Democrats, who are "all without sin", shall we? (/sarcasm)
