I'm not here to defend Clinton, and I'm not here to bash Bush. I'm here to make it known that I think that the mutual bashing is ruining the country. Conservatives and Liberals are so intent on undermining each other that they are united in only one thing ... undermining the whole nation in an effort to "get" one another.

I've had it with this "equivalence" garbage.

There is not "mutual bashing". There were and are legitimate questions and accusations against clinton that are based on factual events. The charges against Bush are based on some event, then twisted and spun out of all recognition to truth, or lately charges are made up out of whole cloth. All in retribution for pulling back the curtain on clinton.

There are now four books, if one counts this Morris book as reputable, that expose the clinton administration's handling of terrorism (or lack thereof). I will say flatly that the accusations against President Bush time and again fall because they are baseless. Charges made years ago against clinton stand today, unrefuted or not disproven, at best.

(And I'm just counting these four books JUST released, not the book that was released a few months ago, I think the author was Patterson--that makes five.)

I can name about 100 books that advocate and make arguments for eugenics. Doesn't make it true or a good idea.

You said that, "The charges against Bush are based on some event, then twisted and spun out of all recognition to truth, or lately charges are made up out of whole cloth."

I know people who could argue us both under the table who could make an excellent case otherwise. You know the drill, no WMD, no imminent threat, Halliburton, etc.

But no matter what you or I think the execs did/do wrong, shouldn't there be a more civilized way to have our concerns addressed?

What I am leading to is ... what do you think of a movement to bring the equivilent of "Prime Minister's Question Hour" to American government? That way we'd all get our concerns, suscpicions, questions, outrages and accolades out in one place where they could be addressed directly by the administration no matter what party is in power?
