I am applying the same moral standard to both parties. I think it is wrong in all cases.
My point is that the Democrats did have opportunity to go after Bush for useless and trumped up things like the GOP did with Clinton. So where you see tit for tat, I do not (personally, I think its because Republicans tend to have bigger balls than Democrats, not because of any greater morality, but a result of a different dialogue with their base and viewpoints). In either case, it would be a waste of taxpayer money that I would prefer to either have not be taxed or used for something that would be beneficial to the country.
Both parties want to grab and hold onto power,... there are ebbs and flows to how far and what they are willing to do to get it.
This technique is nothing new to American politics (Que: J.Edgar Hoover and his investigations),.... it simply seems so with the new media and in the midst of the internet and the "information age."
