how come everything bad that happens

from 9/11 to the war in iraq is the fault of either bill clinton or the democrats in general? seems like the republicans, instead of owning up to their faults (yes, we ALL have them), just swift boat every one else on EVERY issue. i DO NOT like defensiveness. makes me automatically think someone IS guilty of something. i am woman enough to admit my mistakes, own up to them and then correct them. i don't blame anyone else for THINGS I DID. i am almost speechless (of course me being totally speechless will NEVER happen) at how these people (by these people i mean the republicans) are trying now to blame democrats for this whole pile of steamin' shite

GOP prods Democrats over Foley scandal

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Faced with fending off the backlash from the Mark Foley scandal, House Republicans took the offensive Friday, asking Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats to testify about whether they engaged in partisan trickery by releasing Foley's messages weeks before the midterm elections.
Top GOP leaders -- including House Speaker Dennis Hastert, of Illinois, and Majority Leader John Boehner, of Ohio -- have accused the Democrats of knowing about Foley's correspondences with teen pages, and waiting to release them until it was politically advantageous.
Foley, a Republican who represented a Florida district for six terms, resigned abruptly September 29 as allegations surfaced that he exchanged inappropriate e-mails and lurid text messages with underage pages. (Watch how the Foley scandal could 'chill' the GOP base -- 2:16)
Democratic candidates are using the scandal as fodder in their campaign ads. Candidate Baron Hill, of Indiana, criticized Rep. Mike Sodrel, R-Indiana, for refusing to return contributions "from the House leadership who knew about but did nothing to stop sexual predator Congressman Foley." (Full story)
Foley's attorney said this week that his client acknowledges inappropriate exchanges with teen pages, but he "never, ever had an inappropriate sexual contact with a minor in his life."
Candidate Patty Wetterling, of Minnesota, who is in a tight race against Republican Michelle Bachmann, also focused on an alleged cover-up, according to a radio address she released to Reuters...........
