What if President Clinton had been caught spying -

Wouldn't there be a crowd with pitch forks and torches outside the white house lawn right now? Where's the justice today? It seems conservatives get away with murder while liberals get the electric chair for misdemeanors.

1. Didn't they try that with the "travel gate" crap ?

I seem to recall one of the issues being access to personal information or some such thing... anyone remember what the pugs beef was relative to all that ?

5. Yes...supposedly Clinton had "files" on people

and the GOP went nuts at the thought.

Right wingers claimed:

People in the Clinton administration wrongly and perhaps illegally retrieved the FBI files of people considered threats to them.

6. Hummm... "wrongly accessing information"... in other words "spying".

It will be interesting to see if they hold * to the same standards. Perhaps we should look into who led that charge and see if they will lead a similar charge again *.... *grin

Oh and thanks for the confirmation, good to know the memory is still "mostly" working. *wink.

7. Bob Barr did

Your memory is fine! :) In this day of up is down, some things just seem more dream than reality.

2. You're right! Any Dem would be tarred and feathered for that kind of

behavior. I have to believe there are lots of Pubs upset about this too! They are the ones always screaming about privacy rights and keeping the Gov't out of personal lives.

3. They'll ignore it, so long as it's just minorities.

I'm expecting alot of coded talk next week to assure the Republican base that it was only brown people being spied on.

4. Let's see if the subject comes up on any of the Sun. shows.

The info broke soon enough for it to get into the topics.

8. He would have gotten the Braveheart treatment.

9. But Republicans are the Chosen People

It's ok for them to break a few rules now and then or every day because God is on their side.

10. They would have impeached him of course. Look at what they did

to him over a bj.

11. I guess if theres no blue dress than theres no crime. (nt)

12. He'd be lynched. No time for impeachment hearings or trial.

The Republicans would call for an armed mob to descend on Washington to get him.
