hi mw
this is an interesting thread
(I know some of the posts are off topic)
I thought I was alone in not wanting to ''get over'' that George is sweeping the clinton corruption under the rug
I never heard where you stand?
Do you think he will get to it eventually
Do you think it is the prudent political choice
I know your commitment to electing GOP is unchanged
I loved being in the GOP and had the highest hopes for them
Love, Palo

Hi Palo, sorry for the delay. Some observations relative to your question.

The Bush Justice Dept is tremendously better than the Clinton Justice Dept. Just getting Eric Holder and Reno out eliminated about 60% or so of the corrupt stench.

Bush/Ashcroft are not going to press the Clinton stuff - leaving this to career prosecutors and corrupt holdovers (Mary Jo Whitewash, for example)

Ironically, in my view, under Ashcroft criminals at the bottom of the rung are going to be prosecuted more than the people at the top, because the people at the top have the $$$ to fight back.

Generally, I am satisfied but not thrilled with Bush/Ashcroft. I shudder to think of what a Gore Justice Dept would have been like... especially with Eric Holder as the nation's Attorney General.
