The people will "do what is right" IF they are informed.
But they won't be informed unless the administration investigates crimes that the people don't care about.
But FOX to the rescue. FOX has gotten people all worked up over pardongate . . . so energized that . . . nobody cares. Which is why it's Bush's job to do something.?
But this is totally circular. If FOX was so powerful it could get the media all jazzed about pardongate, then why didn't the people demand something be done? Obviously there was a great deal of sentiment for SOMETHING to be done about airport security---I think the wrong thing, but something was done in response to a genuine concern.
But this ends it for me. Label me a "move on-er." But do let me know when you get ready to investigate Teapot Dome again, or maybe the Jackson crimes. Andrew, not Jesse.
Nice try. The only one confused about his position in this debate is the one who initially agreed that the Clinton administration committed all sorts of horrible crimes but still wants to just "move on". The only one confused is the one who thinks Republicans can gain long term political advantage by ignoring credible evidence of serious crimes like election tampering, blackmail of politicians and murder to keep the crimes hidden by democRATS. The only one confused is the one who thinks the GOP can win by FEARING the media, the courts and even what democRAT voters might think. The only one confused is the one who thinks voters can decide what they want without knowing the facts.
But they won't be informed unless the administration investigates crimes that the people don't care about.
You got the first part right but that last part is ONLY your democRATically BIASED opinion. Are you honestly trying to suggest that voters wouldn't care about election tampering, blackmail of Congress and murder of government officials IF they knew about it? I think ONLY a democRAT would think that and I'm beginning to think that is what you really are.
But FOX to the rescue. FOX has gotten people all worked up over pardongate . . . so energized that . . . nobody cares.
A distortion ... like we've come to expect from democRATS. The fact is FOX did work people up ... enough to insist that Bush, the GOP and even democRATS investigate Pardongate. FOX embarrassed several other networks and their anchors over having not reported many of the things Pargongate entailed. They TOO were soon demanding an investigation. The problem is that the Bush administration DROPPED THE BALL. They passed the matter off to a CORRUPT judge appointed by CLINTON ... a judge they KNEW was corrupt. That judge hasn't even followed up on many of the most promising leads. That judge is going to let people get away with LYING in her court. After Bush DROPPED THE BALL, FOX did what ENTERTAINMENT companies do ... move on to the next "fad". But make no mistake, FOX did have an impact on the reporting of Pardongate and DID cause even the GOP to do SOMETHING when most of them CLEARLY did not want to.
If FOX was so powerful it could get the media all jazzed about pardongate, then why didn't the people demand something be done?
But SOMETHING did happen as a result. But ULTIMATELY, the ball is in Ashcroft's court. If Ashcroft and Bush ignore even the more conservative voices and conduct a SHAM investigation, then obviously nothing is going to REALLY happen. Which makes Bush and company CULPABLE, wouldn't you say?
But this ends it for me. Label me a "move on-er."
I intend to. Wear the badge with shame.
But do let me know when you get ready to investigate Teapot Dome again, or maybe the Jackson crimes. Andrew, not Jesse.
And you can continue making ridiculous links between past crimes and now. That is NOT a valid excuse for the republican party SANCTIONING the murder of US government officials by ignoring it. That is not a valid excuse for the republican party SANCTIONING the use of foreign money by democRAT campaign organizations by ignoring it. And that is NOT a valid EXCUSE for the republican party SANCTIONING the blackmail of its members by ignoring it. NO EXCUSES.
