Politics is a dirty game and ALL (I repeat ALL) of its players have mud caked on them. We get so caught up in the "poor Bill Clinton" syndrome that we forget that his camp would dish the same back at the Republicans, if they had comparable dirt. Who do you think brought out the George W. Bush cocaine-use issue?

I agree that politics is a dirty game; but not politicians jump in the mud. When the intial investigation took place, no one that I know shot the same question at the republicans. When Reagan had the house, and George Sr., no one investigated them for anything of that sort because the true owners of the media belong to the Republican party. Just like the corporate lobbyists groups: Why did they blow up the cigarette industry like that, and not touch the alcohol industry? How many people are awaiting livers/death(whichever comes first)today because of Liquor? But that same republican engine wont touch that because that's the vice of their choice. Remember when the owner of Playboy was offering a bounty on negative information on the republican party? The republicans got awful quiet, didn't they!
It is, as we all believe; big money runs the country. But I'm going with THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS!
