As I have said on several occasions now, we don't need a new president as much as this president needs better advice. He needs to see and hear that ignoring crimes as serious as election tampering, conspiracy to blackmail Republicans and Congress, selling US secrets and access to restricted technology for campaign cash, covering up the murder of a Secretary of Commerce is simply not acceptable ... even in time of war. He needs to be told that ignoring such serious crimes sows the seeds for the destruction of this Republic. Instead, by reading a thread like this, and other threads where this issue has been raised, he might get the impression that Freepers think he can do anything he wants as long as he and the GOP win. That's the same attitude that motivated a lot of democRATS in the last several elections to violate so many laws.
Why is it a problem to complain to our party about something that is clearly wrong for them to do? Unlike so many issues raised in this thread, are there any grounds for dispute? As I said, does ANYONE think no laws were violated by the democRATS? Does ANYONE think honest investigations of those activities took place under Clinton? Does ANYONE think it good if politicians and political parties are above the law? Does anyone believe more damaging information wouldn't be learned about democRAT activities if these matters were investigated?
Now some claim that investigating would be bad for Republicans but is allowing them not to the sort of precedent we want to set? What about future administrations ... some democRAT? Will it be ok if they decide not to EVEN investigate crimes too? And besides, I'm willing to debate point by point whether investigating these crimes (and where possible prosecuting them) is bad OR GOOD for the prospects of the GOP. Anytime ... anyplace. But few who are so ardently defending Bush seem to want to do that.
