The left hates John Ashcroft because he is wise to their tactics. The only way to win praise from a liberal is to cave into their demands. Soon after, you're fair game again. Look at the praise the left gave GHW Bush when he capitulated to their calls for a tax hike in 1991. Maureen Dowd praised GHW Bush as someone who understands the struggles of the common man. Soon after the left got their way and the tax increase was law. They mocked him with his 1988 promise of "Read My Lips, No New Taxes"

George W. knows quite well how his father was trashed by the Liberals and he has been beating those liberals into a frenzy ever since the day he was sworn in. Today we have every left wing nutjob spouting off more hatred for George W. Bush then they ever spouted over Adolph Hitler.

By ignoring the far left when they curse him, it only invites them to take it to the next level. In all my life, I have never seen the left as unhinged as I see them today. The vile remarks from these people will be what kills them in the end. The average American doesn't appreciate unwarranted attacks on their Commander-in-Chief in a time of War, no matter what political stripe he wears.

See post #6 and then #25, Looks like my hunch might be right. Davis and Podesta belong to a new 527 group, I can't remember the name, but they are more into strategy then they are advocacy. IMHO it was the Dems who leaked the news on Berger, they waited as long as they could before the Dem Convention in hopes that the Bush Admin would leak it. I believe they thought by leaking the story on Berger just before the 9/11 report and the Dem Convention, it would deflect this story from the front page. But this story has legs, and it won't be going away anytime soon.

I believe John Ashcroft has the goods on these bastards and this story is gonna be big

"You are forgetting two major points:

1) Berger is a Democrat and thus immune in the liberal world,

and 2) Republicans are in charge of the investigation meaning nothing will come from it."

I'll predict that a Bush victory in Nov. will equal a Berger prosecution. But it will be for a slap on the wrist crime, which won't amount to much.

Partisanship aside, Washington types don't want to go too hard on one from the opposition party, lest turnabout come into play later.

The question I have is who do you call to get this prosecution train out of the station? This thing has been cooking since September and Berger has not yet been "frog-marched" to his indictment.

John Ashcroft is Attorney-General, so my guess is his office should be showered with requests for prosecution, the charge Treason for Sandy Berger.

The only "Washington types" that believe that are Republicans.

Democrats know that no matter what they do, they'll never be held accountable or called on it.

I agree that Berger will get nothing in the form of punishment for what could be argued is treason. Republicans are wimps which is why I'm not one any longer.

True, I'll still vote for them, but if that individual running is a wuss in my opinion, I leave that ballot blank like when Lamar! won the primary for Senate in Tenn and I backed Ed Bryant. I don't like Lamar! and didn't bother to vote knowing he was "moderate" enough to win. And besides, his Dem opponent was a neutered wimp too and never made a dint in DC his entire Congressional career and would do no harm.
