Free Republic

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, once a critic of the GOP-led impeachment of former President Bill Clinton, has nominated one of the top Clinton prosecutors to the Orange County Superior Court bench. Former GOP Rep. Jim Rogan, who was born and raised in San Francisco's Mission District and represented Glendale (Los Angeles County) in the House for four years, splashed onto the national scene as one of the congressional managers -- i.e., prosecutors -- in the Clinton impeachment. At the time, he called the perjury and obstruction-of-justice charges against Clinton a "slam dunk." Instead, Rogan was the one who got dunked when...

Call it the incredible shrinking campaign. Over the last two weeks, more potential candidates have bowed out than jumped at the chance of succeeding Rep. Christopher Cox (R-Newport Beach), nominated this month by President Bush to chair the Securities and Exchange Commission. Just days after the Free Enterprise Fund, a conservative fundraising group in Washington, launched a campaign to draft James Rogan, the former congressman from Glendale said Friday that he was flattered but wasn't in the running. "I don't anticipate being a candidate, barring some unforeseen event," said Rogan, who also served as undersecretary of commerce during Bush's first...

Although I'm normally mostly a lurker, I decided to share this wonderful experience with my fellow freepers: Wednesday, 21 July, 2004: We attended The President's Dinner and Fundraiser for President Bush, held at the Washington DC Convention Center. The Dinner was organized by the RNC and over 10,000 people attended. President Bush delivered an optimistic speech amidst roaring applause and several standing ovations. An impressive 23 Million Dollars was raised through this event.

Read 'Rough Edges' Joseph Farah I just read one of the best autobiographies ever written. No, it wasn't Bill Clinton's "My Life." It was written by a man who tried to convict Bill Clinton in his impeachment trial – my friend James E. Rogan. It's called "Rough Edges: My Unlikely Road From Welfare to Washington." I first met Rogan in 1988, when he came into my newspaper office in Southern California as a tough, young Democratic prosecutor – when we were both a couple of 30-somethings. He briefly told me his compelling story. He grew up in a household headed...
