Thompson was highly biased and misled the American people concerning the activities regarding Al Gore. Many of the allegations he hurled about were false and in the end it was proven that he knew they were false but ignored the facts andtried to slide a fast one by. He got caught and the also the failure of the Senate leadership to act on finance reform doomed the investigation. > People fell asleep and everything was abandoned for lack > of interest. There is still alot of interest in reform by the people but it's the politicians themselves that arn't interested. > I notice even C-SPAN was attracted back by the sexy stuff > coming out of Burton's committee. Burton is well-known as a kook. > Republicans really know how to pick 'em. > I agree. > My crook is better than your crooks? What kind of philosophy is that? You have totally missed the point. Clinton is still under investigation and nothing hascome forward as a result of that. Gingrich has been found guilty. Gingrich has decided on his own that allegations alone are enough for him to declare Clinton guilty. This decision on his part is reckless and an abuse of his position. > > > Sorry, Mac, Clinton is vastly more powerful than the sleazy Gingrich and > kooky Burton, independent of the plain fact the most serious charges against > Gingrich and Burton hardly measure up to those against Clinton I wouldn't say that. Gingrich has shut down the government already and has made this congress virtually uneffective. They have failed the American people by not working on issues but by going full force with an attack on Clinton the man. Clinton has chosen to put his duties as president in the forefront and has done his job well. That cannnot be said about his opposition in the House and Senate. Back to campaign finance....if a partisan investigation were done into both parties I'm sure there would be some serious questions about donations to both sides. ...Mac Subscribe/Unsubscribe, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the body of the message enter: subscribe/unsubscribe law-issues
