LMAO............So Clinton supported the investigation and prosecution of Rostenkowski, right? That must be why he pardoned him. This thread was not intended to defend Bush or prosecute Clinton, it's intent was to point out a double standard that we witness in play by the media everyday. If you dont see it your blind. You have posted nothing that dispels that common belief. Clinton dismissed those prosecutors because he felt they didn't share his priorities, likewise Bush. Like it or not that is their perogative. I'm still waiting for Sandy Burglars lie detector test, but the media seems to have forgotten about that. His crime was and is far more serious than this media blitzkrieg, but they dont like to talk about that.

Good God man, now you're mixing your talking points.

Clinton supporting the Rostenkowski's prosecution isn't the question, of course he didn't. But he clearly did allow the system to indict and convict, so one would assume he didn't fire the prosecutor to impeed the investigation as so many would like to think.

If the pardon was ethical is a separate issue.

Have you read a thing I've posted, or do you just blindly cut and paste from goptalkingpointsmemo.com?

This entire scandal arose because the Justice Department appears to have misled the US Congress.

It's exploding because the Executive Branch is declaring executive authority to impeed an investigation to see if this is really true.

Would you like me to go back 10 years or so and print to quotes of Clinton's attack dogs, crying foul at his shameless use of executive privelage to limit transparancy? With all that Clinton still allowed some 41 aides to testify under oath!

Your bushbotic GOP gyro-coding has you on your head, and you think everyone else is upside down!

The entire scandal exploded because the Media and their Democratic alliance chose to use the excuse of a boiler plate reply to a question that wasn't even required to be answered as cause for a fishing expedition. The scary part are the blind minions who can't even see through the hypocritical BS.

And again you are confusing anyone who see's through that hypocritical, double standard as GOP Lemmings. I despise hypocrisy on both sides it just so happens you guy's supply me with much more fodder.

Only the Bush Adminstration could give a boilerplate response to an unprecidented organizational change....

...and expect those sworn to provide oversight to blindly rubberstamp the unprecidented organizational change.

No, but I'd certainly say the Sniper is having difficulty swimming upstream

"3) After years and millions of taxpayers money spent investigation Whitewater during Clinton's presidency, the investigation ended without any claims of wrongdoing"

I think the number of people that went to jail for this might disagree with you. We won't mention the people that ended up dead. The US attornies serve at the pleasure of the President. It's just that simple.

Actually rumor has it the Taunton River runs are loaded.

Last report DNC volunteers were working vigorously to register the newcomers as Democrats in preparation for the 08 elections. When it was pointed out that fish are not legally qualified to vote, the volunters scoffed at the idea saying those laws only applied to Republicans and swore to investigate and subpoena any and all who disagreed with them. When they were challenged further they simply ran away as fast as they could.

All Republicans wear panties and frilly flowing wigs

So.... after many posts and distillation we all agree that it does`nt matter who is in power... what group won the battle.... we as human beings tend to be far from perfect and though life is good its tough a nails sometimes.

anybody want to unplug from the matrix and fish soon?

Good health and family
