Going to take exception with your comments about going back and digging into the clinton mess and the press coverage of it.

See my post 1041 to Jim Robinson.

Pres Bush is working with a very slim majority in the House and the Senate is controlled by the DemocRATS. The DemocRATS would like nothing better along with their lapdog press corps to have this Administration dig into the clintons publically. They would tar and feather him and AG Ashcroft.

That's your opinion. That, of course, isn't what happened in Pardongate, is it? And who do you really think the media wouldtar and feather if they exhumed Brown's body, did an autopsy and discovered traces of a bullet? How are they going to tar and feather Bush and Ashcroft over the disclosure that democRATS knowingly violated campaign finance laws and didn't return the illegal funds from Riady but used them in their campaigns? How will provable democRAT LIES in that case, allow the media to tar and feather the GOP? The fact is that many in the media are culpable in covering up these crimes. Fox News showing that they did so in Pardongate is one reason they backpeddled so quickly in that case. Want to bet we couldn't show they knowingly hid the facts in the death of Brown from the public? Their billion dollar licenses could even be revoked for such deriliction of duty to the public. You don't think that gives us leverage to make sure they walk the straight and narrow?

You may not buy that but I do with every thing I believe in because they press has been looking for any and all issues to stick this President with to make him look bad.

Because it is easy to spin the things they've been spinning. It is much more difficult to spin a mass murder and blatent election tampering. By running in fear from the media you hand the democRATS the biggest advantage they have. They used it to almost steal the last presidential election. Don't you even want to try and level the playing field and what better way then to show the public that they've been deceived for many years by the mainstream press?

The press did a number on the American people by covering up the facts on clinton and they are not about to admit they are wrong.

No they'll spin the non-coverage but don't think they'd now get away with not covering the facts. What happened in pardongate with Fox News proves I am right.

Not to mention, where are you going to find a D.C. jury to convict either clinton?

First, this isn't going to only be settled in DC courts. Second, why the focus on Clinton? Again, DOZENS of other democRAT criminals will be investigated, tried and convicted before Clinton is ever indicted for anything. Frankly I'm more concerned about those people because they are still in government, the media and democRAT party doing harm.

Not going to happen and it would be a waste of limited political capital that this President enjoys right now.

Only your opinion. And what happened in Whitewater and Pardongate proves you are wrong about how juries and the media would react. By ignoring the crimes you are throwing away the biggest chance you have to sweep Congress and future presidential elections. By ignoring the crimes you are making the GOP a party to those crimes and that bodes ill for not only the GOP but the whole country.

The less the clintons are in the press the more we should all be happy!

This isn't just about the Clintons and if you honestly want Clinton out of the media eye, don't make him an ambassador to this country as recently Bush did.

The press want ms. clinton as President so why give them any ammunition to use against this President and portray her to be the victim of another witchhunt.

Or perhaps Filegate, and the many convictions of her underlings that would result from an investigation, would be the nail in the coffin for her chances at the Whitehouse.

The final argument against it, is that we are in a war on terrorism and President Bush has a lot to deal with without digging into the clintons!

What about the 8 months before the war? And how many resources does it take to INVESTIGATE? And if we aren't fighting to protect our system of government, our system of laws and the election process, what are we fighting for? You could very easily destroy every terrorist and they'd still accomplish their real goal by democRATS AND the GOP destroying these institutions and processes for them.

I can sum up that in one word -- JEFFORDS! The amount of time and effort in getting Ashcroft confirmed was a travesty! The DemocRATS did everything they could to torpedo that nomination. And then Ashcroft had a hard time getting anyone else confirmed to help him out. Most of the people in key positions in the agencies were clintonites for months because confirmations couldn't get out of committees after Jeffords moved across the aisle.

Also have to remember that thanks to clinton/gore, there was not a real transition. Then clinton's GSA guy wouldn't release funds even after the SCOTUS Ruling for the transition until after the Electoral College had voted. Everything possible was done to torpedo a smooth start of this Administration by the clintonites! Always was in the back of my mind if they didn't do this all on purpose to make sure that the Bush Administration had no time for anything clinton!
