No matter who is elected president.

Unfortunately it just isn't going to happen.

and the American people will finally begin to understand that putting a Republican in the White House - whether through not voting or voting for Republicans - is a very bad idea for the United States' national security and if people really don't want anymore wars of choice.

That's my take on it.

The doing business with the enemy during WWII scandal and a plethora of other scandals hasn't damaged the bush name- this isn't. If you were here back when it was all happening- it was common knowledge we were being lied into a war and we all knew it was being done with the assistance of the Brits.

If anything, Hillary was going to use the dirt to get the right to cooperate when/if she gains the White House.

they have enough money and power to insulate them from anything.


When I say hurt, I mean that they will never pay for any of their crimes. Not gaining political office will not hurt them. They don't really care, they have enough money and dirt on others that they can buy or blackmail others into doing their bidding.

on blogs and in articles that never make it to the front pages of print media, therefore, they were never able to reach the masses. With the internet, rumors can travel and reach billions lightning quick.

It doesn't take lawsuits and perp-walks to soil a family name. All it takes is innuendo and the appearance of corruption.

But I agree, and condone, that she just might use this information in order to bring those Teapublicans in the House to heel when she wins the White House and Democrats when back the Senate, and when she wants to get things done for the American people.

You know what they say:

Perfection!

shift blame of 9/11 to President Clinton. Will it fly, I don't think so, but an effective mo of the GOP is denial denial denial.

W's legacy is tarnished along with his administration.
