Actually, I can....the person who outed PLame was a man named Richard Armitage, a Clinton appointee in the state department. This is old news.

Show me where the Democrats, during the Clinton administration, instituted a smear campaign against critics of Clinton.

Off the top of my head I can think of 900 or so illegally acquired FBI files, and historically, a Nixon staffer went to jail for only illegally having access to one.

Show me any examples abuse of power or treasonous acts, by any member of the Clinton administration, that comes anywhere near the level of abuse and treason being committed by the Bush administration.

Abuse of power? How about burning the Branch Dividians alive? Treason? How about giving missile tech to China and nukes to North Korea? There's also the case of classified documents being stuffed in the pants of one Sandy Berger so they could be removed from the national archives. There is acceptance of lots of campaign contributions from foreign nationals.

President Clinton was far from perfect, but try and compare him to President Bush is ridiculous.

I am no fan of Bush, which I have made clear here over and over. Trying to say that abuse of power is unique to the republicans is the outragous claim here.

I keep editing this to add more, but what's the point? Not going to go anywhere, change anyone's mind.
