Get it through your stubborn, thick skulls, my fellow Americans, that neither political party represents your interests! President Clinton was/is a criminal, and everyone in his administration were criminals! Janet Reno stands out in my mind as the most notorious of the whole bunch, Ruby Ridge or Waco anyone? Or has that horror against AMERICANS been forgotten? Good God! Where to begin with the crimes that Bush & Co. have committed against America, not to mention the rest of the world?! We will never know the whole truth of this, I'm sure. If you are a multimillionaire, support the GOP because they truly represent your interests. If you depend on the Federal Government for food, shelter, transportation and a monthly check, then straight ticket Democrat voting is for you. As for the remaining 60-70% of Americans that earn less than $150k per year and didn't inherit a boatload of $$, maybe there should be less bickering and more compromise to take back control of our government and our country while we still can. "I may not agree with what you say, but I will fight to the death your right to say it!" "If we do not stand together, we will surely hang together!" "United we stand, but divided we will fall." With Fraternal Love & Respect to ALL of my fellow Americans!

This administration needs to be run out on a rail, prosecuted, and publicly punished. But all that will happen is that the term will run out and they will all go on to the next thing, oblivious to what they've done and protected from the public eye for the rest of their lives. We'll continue fuming on blogs and popping gaskets any time the subject is brought up, but nothing will actually happen. This is what our country does to its traitors.
