		<description>jwest, &lt;br&gt;I can&#039;t believe that you believe your own talking points.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This is just silly: &quot;the democrats want to eliminate the concept of separation of powers&quot;  &lt;br&gt;As you well know, they want to restore three EQUAL BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT, They wnat to ensure that not even a Democratic president can establish the kind of unitary execuitve that Bush-Cheney did. They want more transparency and less lawyerly smoke screens, no matter who the succeeding presidents turn out to be&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;Ousting anyone with even the appearance of impropriety&quot; only started when the GOP lost control of both houses, and their dirty linen was costing them votes.  This came about the sane time the GOP disscovered fiscal responsibility and obstruction by filibuster. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Are Dems inherently better people?  No.  They screw up, too.  .&lt;br&gt;But don&#039;t feed me silly lines that are fact checkable.  &lt;br&gt;, &lt;br&gt;.</description>

		<description>Surely I&#039;m not the only one who remembers that a special prosecutor investigated the Clintons? &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Surely I&#039;m not the only one who remembers that the Republican Congress impeached President Clinton?</description>

		<description>Runasim,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I guess my comment left too much to the liberal imagination.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;My point was more targeted to the people working for the president.  It’s hard enough to find good people who will put their careers on hold for a number of years in order to serve the country.  Now that the democrats want to eliminate the concept of separation of powers, it will be even more difficult.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If there are people in the administration who have committed crimes, of course they should be indicted and tried.  However, to grant carte blanch to hyper-partisan committees looking to score points with outrageous statements on C-Span seems like taking things too far.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Republicans do put principle before party, as opposed to democrats.  Just check the record of republicans ousting anyone with even the appearance of impropriety.  Democrats, on the other hand, help each other wrap their bribes in tin foil for freezing.</description>

		<description>jwest,&lt;br&gt;What&#039;s your point?  That every administration should be given a pass on accuntablility? &lt;br&gt;Is there any principle you care about higher than party loyalty?&lt;br&gt;That&#039;s a sad state to contempalte. : &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;BTW. the GOP already demonstrated what it would do for the sake of an attempted  political assassiantion.  Your threats come a tad too late.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;if you&#039;ll notice, the Dems haven&#039;t come anywhere near playing tit-for-tat, much to their credit.  Be grateful.  Be very grateful.</description>

		<description>Can you imagine what would have happened to the Clinton administration had we conservatives exercised this power?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If this is the precedent the democrats want, it’s OK with me.  Just don’t scream when it gets turned around on you.</description>

		<description>I really find this troubling.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So how about the DOJ sending subpoena&#039;s to Senators aides asking them about their business dealings and when they are found to lie they can be tried for perjury.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Pretty soon congress is one big witch hunt.</description>

		<description>That&#039;s exactly what they are doing. Just hoping for a favorable ruling on the way up. They know the law is not on their side.</description>
