My friends, I want you to listen to my brilliant Hour One challenge to the Republicans in Congress. The Democrats are demanding top-secret documents prepared for the president on Osama bin Laden and Middle Eastern men training at our flight schools.
Ari Fleischer says the White House is working with congressional committees investigating the matter. Cheney warned against playing politics, and Condolleezza Rice gave a briefing. All that's fine, but if congressional Republicans do not repeatedly and loudly demand likewise for Sandy Berger, Madeleine Albright - and, yes, Bill Clinton - to get to the bottom of their failure to act on the Sudanese government's offer to hand over Osama bin Laden, then they're not worth supporting.
I am very serious about this. If the White House is going to contribute, it's up to House Republicans to borrow, beg or grow a spine and conduct themselves the way the Democrats would in these sorts of circumstances. If congressional Republicans don't assert themselves, Daschle Democrats are going to roll right over them in this investigation and it's going to turn out to be nothing more than a Robert Bork-type hearing.
This is not about blame or "gotcha." It's about facts. In the current See, I Told You So, I remind you that of my warning that foreign policy would be then-Governor Clinton's downfall - and now stories are coming out about exactly this sort of thing happening related to September the 11th. CNN reports that the United States was warned in 1995 of a plot to hijack airplanes and attack buildings, and sent a similar warning on September 11th...of 1999. Fight it, guys - now.

In three years since the media declared him to be the frontrunner I have yet to hear him say anything indicating remarkable intelligent. Fortunately, he can say it in Spanish, which some people feel elevates it in content.
President Bush give them what they want. You've brought integrity and character back to the oval office, now bring justice.
------------------------
The Clintons partially disassembled the legal system, and the demand for accountability, in this country and were allowed to get away with it. Shrub has aided them by insisting we move on instead of examining the issue.
"Governor, in your acceptance speech you said, "I have no stake in the bitter arguments of the last few years." Is that really so? Did it merely slip by? Granted, the impeachment was stimulated by a lesser grievance than any it should have been founded upon. Nonetheless, have you no stake in making sure that a citizen outrageously brought before the governor of a state for the purpose of providing sex for him, can have her day in court? Have you no stake in the expectation that witnesses not be intimidated, evidence not be destroyed, lies not be told? Have you no stake in the assumption that the president of the United States will not perjure himself in a court of law? Have you no stake in the principle that the law applies equally to all, regardless of station? Have you no stake in checking the abuse of power? Have you no stake in ensuring that the office your father occupied with such grace not be tainted by criminality and indecency?"

And his true believers in Hollywood and elsewhere rapidly took up a collection to pay the fine.
It's better to get lost in Jerry Springer, Lifetime television or watching constant reruns of some old lame sitcom than to stay focused on what's really happening in the real world.
Then there is always those who think they have the miracle pill in their particular candidate that if they can just get them elected would make all the difference.
I can't even imagine what you must be experiencing-has any candidate that you have believed in been elected as president?
-------------------------
Bush didn't have such a stake, but I and the rest of the people in this nation sure as hell do. What was being established was a tolerance for meglomaniacal corruption and mental instability that no nation can survive.
LOL Only Bill Clinton could give criminals hope. I have to say this one equals giving illegals immigrants water and whatever else they need trying to break into the country. They're suing for 40 million dollars. (or what they really want is free access to the best country on the face of the earth).

"Anytime you have a circular, symmetrical hole, a pathologist knows that one of the distinct mechanisms for making such a defect is a bullet. It's not even arguable in the field of medical legal investigations whether an autopsy should have been conducted on Brown, I'll wager you anything that you can't find a forensic pathologist in America who will say Brown should not have been autopsied. Forget about Brown being a cabinet member, or being under investigation. He was in a plane crash. That alone should have meant he was autopsied."

It's unfortunate that he is not able to receive the praise for his accomplishments.
The totality of the damage done to this nation by Sinkmaster and Satan's Daughter has still not been fully felt. Why will people tell the truth in court when the chief law enforcement officer didn't? Why will little 13-year-old girls stop giving BJs to the football team when that really isn't sex? Why will anyone obey subpoenas to produce documents when they can simply be hidden in the closet until the statute of limitations has run? Why do the right thing when cheating gets you ahead? That is more of the Clinton legacy.
