The republicans are screaming "don't elect the Democrats because, if you do, they will just start investigating everybody!!" Ummm...does anybody think this hairbrained ploy will work? Would it not have been better had Bush et al had not tortured, manipulated intelligence, lied their way into a war, etc. Isn't that kinda like saying there shouldn't be traffic lights because, if there are, then people might go through the reds? An interesting dilema, if you have the intelligence of a yam, potato, or some other kind of tuber, in my opinion. But is the public dumb enough too fall for it?

They're doing the same thing with Foley. Don't take Foley to task for his inappropriate actions, instead its the dems fault for releasing the information (which is retarded since the dems did NOT release the information). Doesn't this all just seem really pathetic on the part of the republicans?

But Steven, all I have heard from the pubs is that they MUST find out what the dems role was in that whole mess. Who knew what and when.
They seem to believe that it is more important for the dems to answer those questions than for their own party to address how they may have mishandled the whole thing.
A little like the drunk driver blaming the tree.

Steven - one more thing. Your comment about the dem's going to impeach the pubs. Don't you think the pubs actions while Bush has been in the White House merit at least some analysis? They are essentially saying "Don't vote for them because they will hold us accountable for the actions we have committed." If they did nothing wrong, there would be nothing to investigate. Or at least, they would have nothing to fear from an investigation.
Also, the pubs weren't exactly the models of restraint when Clinton was in power. So basically, pubs can go on a vicious vendetta if they choose to, but the dems taking them to task is improper? That would be the text book definition of a double standard, don't ya think?

Hehehe I just have to laugh that what they are afraid of is investigations and the revelation of the Truth, for all they claim to be religious and Christians...
I think the primary problem is there is nobody charistmatic on the Democrat side, and there is too many Democrats that want gun control.
The only thing that will convince the public to change their minds is a series of arrests and imprisonments - the entire Republican party needs to be put into prison. That would be the only thing that would work.

The Republicans forced Foley to resign. What more do you want them to do to him?
The leadership of the Democratic Party has spent the last 6 years saying that 'when' the get back in power, they will 'investigate/impeach' everyone.
The rest of your "question" is equally credible.

And with this "I'll take responsibility, but not the blame" approach the GOP is taking, the nakeness of their greed and corruption will be exposed.
They learned nothing from when Nixon went wrong, they will fall again.
