Some interesting things I have found lately that I thought would be cool to share!
I my journeys through the interenet I wandered onto Barbra Streisand's blog and she had a great entry with quotes showing what hypocrites many on the right truly are - how most of what they do is motivated by party loyalty - not the truth -
please read on this is fascinating stuff!! Thank you Barbra for finding these!!
a link to her site is the last one is one that is really telling!

Quotes from Republicans when Clinton committed troops to Bosnia:
"You can support the troops but not the president."
-Rep Tom Delay (R-TX)
"Well, I just think it's a bad idea. What's going to happen is they're going to be over there for 10, 15, maybe 20 years."
-Joe Scarborough (R-FL)
"Explain to the mothers and fathers of American servicemen that may come home in body bags why their son or daughter have to give up their life?"
-Sean Hannity, Fox News, 4/6/99
"[The] President...is once again releasing American military might on a foreign country with an ill-defined objective and no exit strategy. He has yet to tell the Congress how much this operation will cost. And he has not informed our nation's armed forces about how long they will be away from home. These strikes do not make for a sound foreign policy."
-Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA)
"American foreign policy is now one huge big mystery. Simply put, the administration is trying to lead the world with a feel-good foreign policy."
-Rep Tom Delay (R-TX)
"If we are going to commit American troops, we must be certain they have a clear mission, an achievable goal and an exit strategy." -Karen Hughes, speaking on behalf of George W Bush
"I had doubts about the bombing campaign from the beginning...I didn't think we had done enough in the diplomatic area."
-Senator Trent Lott (R-MS)
"I cannot support a failed foreign policy. History teaches us that it is often easier to make war than peace. This administration is just learning that lesson right now. The President began this mission with very vague objectives and lots of unanswered questions. A month later, these questions are still unanswered. There are no clarified rules of engagement. There is no timetable. There is no legitimate definition of victory. There is no contingency plan for mission creep. There is no clear funding program. There is no agenda to bolster our over-extended military. There is no explanation defining what vital national interests are at stake. There was no strategic plan for war when the President started this thing, and there still is no plan today"
-Rep Tom Delay (R-TX)
"Victory means exit strategy, and it's important for the President to explain to us what the exit strategy is."
-Governor George W. Bush (R-TX)

Thank you Barbra!!
When they unceasingly went after Clinton, for a ridiiculus personal matter that did not affect the future of the planet - they claimed they were only seeking justice and truth and it was not politcial game playing - yet when the tide turns and the are pursued for their wrong doings which are far greater in scope and truly do affect peoples lives. - they shout that they are being unfairly persecuted and its a political game - despite the fact that Ronnie Earle has gone after people of both parties for ethics violations and in fact has prosectued more Democrats that Repulicans - Like all bullies they can dish it out but cannot take it.
The founders of our democracy intended this to be nation of the people, by the people for the people, and the government serve the needs of the people,. when our government forgets it's essential purpose - and believes the people serve it - its time for change.
It seems the adminstration has forgotten that and see this as a giant piggy bank for them to raid- well this must end!.
PEACE -
