And all of that illegal campaign money that Clinton got from the Chinese?
Any money that comes from the Chinese can probably can be traced back to Walmart, so unless you've never purchased a Chinese made product, you have certainly contributed to Chinese influence in American politics (they also give to the Republicans I assure you). I'm not someone who is going to defend Clinton or current presidential funding - it doesn't work for anyone other than the lobbyists, but I do look at the overall cause and effect of an administration. I think the Bush administration has a lot to hide and I hope it comes out one day. Surely you're not suggesting that Bush and Cheney have had pure, self-sacrificing intentions? I think history will prove this to be the most corrupt administration to ever enter the White House.
Flaja, on another note: Why are you so attached to these Bushies? Why do you feel the need to defend them? If Bush and Cheney were Democrats you would be aiming your rifle scope at them. They have acted like the worst of liberal thinkers- they have taken over a piss ant foreign country with the excuse that they are bringing "freedom"; they spend your tax money to rebuild Iraqi hospitals, schools and infrastructure like it's Beverly Hills; they sent in a poorly equipped military thinking roses would thrown in their path instead of roadside bombs and they are creating debt like it's being charged to their rich Daddy's credit card instead of America's children. What part of their program reflects Republican values? Really Flaja, this kind of action makes me think radical liberal, not radical conservative.
(sorry for the poor grammar, but I think you'll get the point)
