I'm pretty sure the version I heard, wasn't from McCain.
Yeah, there could be many republicans who said such a thing. All I know is that I watched McCain say it on a news program, and I was shocked to hear HIM say it. He was totally gung-ho for an investigation, he just thought it was obvious that the results should be held till after the elections so as not to influence anyone's votes.
I'm sorry, but whether the president made a huge fucking mistake, or lied to the american public is exactly the right kind of influences we want voters to have before they vote.
I suppose he'd prefer an investigation proving Bush didn't get a blowjob like Clinton... which they used (somehow) to cast a "character" shadow over Gore. At least Bush never did that!

Just to let you know, you should press the "reply" button at the bottom of the individual post you are replying to, instead of at the bottom of the page. That way the person you are responding to knows you are talking to them.
I can only hope you were totally agreeing with me, but maybe it was some other fine poster in this thread.

Bring on the revolution?
The corruption of the Bush administration goes far beyond the personal morality failings of Bill Clinton. It goes far beyond the corruption that brought down Vice-president Agnew. It goes far beyond the stupidity of the Watergate scandal that rightfully brought down Nixon.
I would place it as being of the same magnitude as the situation that gave rise to the American Revolution against Great Britain.
Unfortunately, not much better can be said about the Congress.

Sometimes I think it's that bad... especially when I contemplate the similarities between today's events and the Declaration of Independence's list of grievances.
Then I think about it less emotionally and am not sure if it's that bad yet.
I think a more accurate comparison would be to the corruption of the government during the mid to late 1800's. In this case the robber barons have near complete control of the government (including the congress).
Thus I sometimes have hope that change will come through the ballot box and so we don't need a full scale change of government through the cartridge box.
What makes me worry that the latter might be necessary at some point is the growing ability of a minority of the population to impose its will on the majority due to zoning and control of voting procedures by monied vested interests, as well as the horrific attempts by that minority to convert this country into a religious state by legal fiat. This goes triple when the goal of this religious state appears to be fulfilling biblical scripture.
