DeLay is indicted. Frist is investigated. Now, I. Lewis Libby, a high ranking official close to the Vice President, is named as source in the Palme (sp?) matter for which a NY Times reporter went to prison for two months to protect him.
As a Moderate Independent I sit and watch posters, whom I won't name because we all know who they are, jump on every ridiculous article and/or rumor that has anything to do with any Liberal or Democrat and just shake my head an wonder...
Where's the outrage for the other side?
Innocent until proven guilty you say? Absolutely. But that goes both ways as well.

Are you sure you are a moderate?
And yes, in America, it is innocent until proven guilty. You obviously need no reminder as you've already posted this. When we have convictions or strong evidence suggesting something, then it's a different matter.
Right now everything is at such a preliminary stage that nothing is known. There is a prosecutor with an awful reputation involved. If people had to hate a politician I doubt they'd have much trouble, but that complicates things.
And Libby? Well actually Libby was named because he told the reporter that she should testify. Great ethics if you ask me. But maybe others would rather he not have helped her out.
And what are these cases that others were outraged about before?
By the way we just sat a Supreme Court Justice in such a short amount of time that Harry the Dem looked like a jailhouse wife. Funny how some complained that they didn't know enough about him and now such a young man will serve for so long as the chief justice. There isn't a single leader for the Dems and there is massive infighting between the freaks on the left (moveon.org) and the centrists (Clinton) that it will involve a total combustion of the Republican party before they benefit to such a high extent.
And at the end of the day, it's the game of politics. Aside from the issues which the Dems have no solutions to, they can't play the game. This week is their best week and I will bet you a big mac that it still won't help them much.
