Rick, you are more of a Republican than you think, but that is for another day! How can you keep harping on GWB and others and then say "Don't bring up Clinton......."! Clinton and his administration were by far the worst and the biggest set of crooks and sleazes this country has ever had in office! I need say no more! I agree that Ashcroft could become a major problem, and I am sure that at least this President has the balls to do something about it if the time is necessary! While I am a Republican, I cannot stand the Religous Right and think they should be flushed from the Party, but we can deal with them a lot easier than some of the factions that dwell within the Democrats such as Rev Jesse "My Hand is in Your Pocket" Jackson and the whacko enviornmentialist groups that want to lodge themselves in the Democratic Party! Thank God, GWB was elected and not Al Gore! Charlie
