As for your comment about it always being this way with past politicians, it seems almost to play into the hands of the "everybody does it" and the "let's just move along" crowd...
I am trying to have a civil discourse, therefore please do not assume anything as to how I feel.
In otherwords you are saying the work done by myself and countless others concerning the ads were, pointless, needless, worthless or how would you characterize them????
At the time they were the only action in town. We did what we could with what we had. That fact remains the same today. Any and all political causes that want to go national in scope, have got to have money. Ask Ross Perot.
I do not subscribe to the, "all the others do it". Check history, read me the names of any presidents that ever investigated another president for wrong doing. It has never happened. Just as now, Ashcroft is blocking any investigation into Janet Reno.
