Strict ideology translated into revenge politics did not become extreme until Bill Clinton was elected. And I have plenty of evidence to prove that statement (but I'll have to do it later because I've run out of time).
robert bork? clarence thomas...?REAGAN? KENNEDY?DUKAKIS?
come now...
Nobody is claiming there weren't conflicts. Of course there were. PC was correct about only one thing, and that is that there is basic ideology differences between the parties. I'm claiming that it didn't start getting ugly until Clinton was elected and knocked out a second term for Bush41.
Even long before the Lewinsky scandal, Republicans had set out to destroy him. The held hundreds of hearings to "investigate" all manner of things. The House oversight committee took more than 140 hours of testimony to investigate whether the Clinton White House misused its holiday card database, whether the Clinton administration sold burial plots in Arlington National Cemetery for campaign contributions. They examined whether the White House doctored videotapes of coffees attended by President Clinton. They spent two years investigating who hired Craig Livingstone, the former director of the White House security office. And they looked at whether President Clinton designated coal-rich land in Utah as a national monument because political donors with Indonesian coal interests might benefit from reductions in U.S. coal production. All that not to mention the 18 million pricetag to investigate Hillary's "Whitewater" thing. Shall I go on?
no because you have now changed the debate to fit your evidence, as you have thrown a great deal at the wall at once and deciding what is worthy or not. Apparently due to your particular ideological stance it appears its a problem and 'partisan' to investigate why Livingstone yes, cheif of sec. should be collecting fbi files on 900 prominent rep.s so in the end, if anyone bush Reagan Kennedy had done as much yes they should be investigated...so this debate is at a dead end in this context. thx for posting it though.
