- I'm a conservative type who is all for it. In this month's reader's
- digest (maybe last months, I read it while at home over break) there is an
- article by Fred Barnes about how special prosecutor Walsh went after
- people for anything that might have caused anything to happen. Walsh has
- spent OVER 20 MILLION DOLLARS, and what has he discovered as a result of
- this - NOTHING. I realize the need for watchdogs and keeping politicians
- honest, but I also think that the special prosecutor law should have been
- modified so that there is a limit on what may be spent - say 5 million or
- so (funny how that seems like pocket change anymore) and if no solid leads
- are found, the investigation should end. Walsh for the past year or so
- has been desperate to find anything he can to save face. I have a feeling
- that many of the people so upset over the pardons are the same ones which
- get upset over all bailouts, but the S&L bailouts, while the need for them
- should have been prevented, are helping the people who had money in them,
- while Walsh is throwing away millions which will benefit no one. As for
- people who wonder why Bush would pardon people he claims are innocent, Why
- not? Is it better to see how many more millions could be thrown down the
- drain?

- Funny, but in the Clinton Cabinet that "looks like America", there aren't
- many conservatives.
