Troll and DougR, the issue is not whether Clinton was dirty, too, or whether Bush himself actually did something that was against the law. "Pin the dirt on the President" is just as simplistic and pointless as "Bin Ladin dead or alive." The real issue is that big corporations own the government, make the rules, buy and sell legislators, and have turned "democracy" into a joke. When legislators' primary agenda from day one in office is getting re-elected, when re-election depends on money, and when most of the money comes from huge corporations, what do you expect? And how many of those legislators do you think are going to support campaign reform, and thus put themselves out of office? The whole thing stinks. And no, I don't have any great ideas for fixing it. It just stinks.
