In my opinion the Democratic controlled Congress is on a witch hunt with the Executive Branch over the firing of the federal prosecutors.
The White House turned over the emails that were asked for and Democrats immediately started complaining. They didn't like the form they were in because they were "boring and repetitive." Apparently, the White House should have spruced them up so they wouldn't be so boring. If you have ever forwarded or replied to emails they normally have the contents written by each person involved. Sure they are going to be repetitive. If the White House had edited them and taken out the repetitive part then the Democrats would have complained that they had been altered.
The White House has offered a comprise pertaining to Rove and other officials speaking to Congress, but Congress doesn't want to discuss this. Instead, they want to issue subpoenas and draw this out as long as possible.
These Democratic tactics are right in line with the plan of action Representative John Conyers (D-MI) announced prior to the last election. That was that he wanted George Bush impeached and he planned to start impeachment proceedings as soon as he took over the House Judiciary Committee. Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) didn't deny this as a Democratic position but told Conyers to keep his mouth shut until after the election.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-VT) flatly rejected the President's compromise offer, despite pleas from the top Republican on the committee, Senator Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania. In an exchange with Leahy, Specter argued that moving toward confrontation with the White House would only tie up the matter in courts for years. This is what the Democrats want!!!
President Bush has said he will invoke executive privilege if the subpoenas are issued and he is now receiving criticism about that. The Democrats didn't complain about it when Clinton invoked executive privilege more than any other President in recent history.
Why don't the Democrats take the initiative and get busy with this country's business? What "great" business has the Congress conducted since the Democrats took over?
Don't re-elect any incumbent!
