Three things (none / 0)

1) I am astonished to hear this.  There shouldbe an investigation.  Paid for by the taxpayers.  No expense should be spared.  Every person the Clinton have ever brushed up against should be interviewed.  Millions of documents should be pored over.  Congress should get involved.  We could even publish the findings in book form.  Certainly if we did that we would be able to prove at least some corruption on the Clinton's part and throw them in jail where they belong.  If only we could have an investigation of the evil, evil people.  Then we would get 'em for sure.

2) So even if they are corrupt.  If all of this is true they are about 2% as corrupt as Bush/Cheney Inc.  McCain has been censured for worse than this three times!!!!  ANd that doesn't even address his wife-beating, cheating, drunk, violent, abusive personal life.  I am a pragmatist.  I vote for my best choice.  Give me a choice between two crooks and I will take the less crooked one with better policies.  Other people on this board fall for this, "your guy (girl) is not a saint so therefore vote for my demon" line of argument.  I don't sit around waiting for the messiah. 

3) My attitude towards Bush malfeasance is the same as mine towards Clinton's.  Let him stand up to the largest investigation in the history of the world and be found innocent of any government corruption or abuse of power and I will let it go.  What is your stance?  It was right to investigate Clinton but we shouldn't even breathe a word about your guys troubles?  And you call me a hypocrite?  Grow up.

Oh, and I didn't even read this post.  I don't care.  She is not the nominee.  Its not even relevant.

Whatever (none / 0)

1) Democrats conrol  Republicans controlled Congress. They could have investigated and subpoenaed to their heart's content, and Republicans Democrats couldn't do anything about it. And yet they don't, because they have nothing.

2. "I don't recall McCain being accused of rape, and worse crimes. That's Bill Clinton territory."

Do you recall Clinton being exonerated of rape?  Investigations and trial being dropped because there was no evidence? 

This discussion is about government corruption.  McCain is corrupt.  He gets paid to do corporate interests bidding.  In terms of courruption (which we are discussing) this is worse.  Mostly because he has been found culpable and made to apoligize mutltiple times.

3. "Democrats conrol Congress. They can investigate and subpoena to their heart's content, and Republicans can't do anything about it. And yet they don't, because they have nothing."

How do we know they have nothing without an investigation.  I am pretty openly disgusted with the refusal of these Dems to practice oversight.  The centrists and blue dogs need to go.  We need more progressives.

Oh, and they have subpeonaed as you well know.  The crooked ass pubs jsut refuse to answer subpeonas, I guess because they are so law abidiing?

Anyway this is all neither here nor there.  No one but the most tax cut loving bibile thumping Kool-Aid drunk conservatives believe the Repbulicans aren't crooked.  Its the #1 reasons for the 06 ass-kicking and polls show the belief has only intensified.  You are always going to say whatever you have to say to get your tax cut.  You don't believe it and we all know it.  No one else believes it either.  Like all true Republicans, you are just a whore for money.

Nonsense (none / 0)

First, that many women (2?) can't be lying but the twelve who have now filed complaints against KBR are all liars, huh?

Second, what is the statute of limitations on rape in Arkansas?  Certainly more than four years or whatever it was before Huckabee took over right?

Huckabee became governor on a "Hate Clinton" platform!!!!!  He pardoned a serial rapist and murderer becuase the guy raped a distant relation to Bill. (which in light of the new Republican pro-rape platform makes a lot more sense).  You telling me dictator Huckabee couldn't even ask a few questions about Juanita Bordrick?

Let it go, man. Clinton is gone and Hillary lost and the defenders of rape are now the Bushies.  If you want to keep talking about Bill and rape please post it to a 90s nostalgia board.

Oh, and I am sure Starr never bothered to look into this.  I mean he had such a tight focus on that investigation, right?

This is stupid.
