Is their any equivilant behavior by Republicans after they lost an election?
Frankly, I've grown tired of the whining.

[jeff]

Uh, yeah - just cast your mind back to 1992 and 1996

Yes, you seem to be forgetting a impeachment/censure which costs the taxpayers about $130 mil.

I forgot perjury is not a crime worthy of prosecution.

On that note, there was much more evidence of a corrupt administration in the 90's than the current one.
With regard to the current admin., if there is evidence investigate and punish him

true what could possibly be more terrible than lying over a blow job?

mind you it was gratifying that the republicans worked so well with Clinton prior to the proof of his malfeasance.

[jeff]

As if that wasn't politicaly motivated - just consider the important subject it was ultimately about... and, first they had to blow $40M trying to find a way to pin Whitewater on the Clintons.

At any rate - if the question was (as it seemed) "did the Republicans carry on when they lost", the answer is yes - there was lots of wailing, gnashing of teeth, and predictions of doom.

indeed and all that republican effort to ensure that all those criminal activities in the Reagan administration where appropriately punished.

Although you have to love a party that loves the sinner despite hating the sin (allegedly).

As long as we're on the subject of "Boy am I pissed off that my side lost", the following showed up in my inbox today:

Subject: Kerry's Lost Alternate Concession Speech

What Kerry would have really wished he could have said...................

"My fellow Americans, the people of this nation have spoken, and spoken
with a clear voice. So I am here to offer my concession. [Boos, groans,
rending of garments]

I concede that I overestimated the intelligence of the American people.
Though the people disagree with the President on almost every issue,
they saw fit to vote for him. I never saw that coming. That's really
special.

I concede that I misjudged the power of hate. That's pretty powerful
stuff, and I didn't see it. So let me take a moment to congratulate the
President's strategists: Putting the gay marriage amendments on the
ballot in various swing states like Ohio... well, that was just genius.
Genius. It got people, a certain kind of people, to the polls. The
unprecedented number of folks who showed up and cited "moral values" as
their biggest issue, those people changed history. The folks who
consider same sex marriage a more important issue than war, or
terrorism, or the economy... Who'd have thought the election would
belong to them? Well, Karl Rove did. Gotta give it up to him for that.
[Boos.] Now, now. Credit where it's due.

I concede that I put too much faith in America's youth. With 8 out of
10 of you opposing the President, with your friends and classmates dying
daily in a war you disapprove of, with your future being mortgaged to
pay for rich old peoples' tax breaks, you somehow managed to sit on your
asses and watch the Cartoon Network while aging homophobic hillbillies
carried the day. You voted with the exact same anemic percentage that
you did in 2000. You suck. Seriously, y'do. [Cheers, applause] Thank
you. Thank you very much.

There are some who would say that I sound bitter, that now is the time
for healing, to bring the nation together. Let me tell you a little
story. Last night, I watched the returns come in with some friends here
in Los Angeles. As the night progressed, people began to talk
half-seriously about secession, a red state / blue state split. The
reasoning was this: We in blue states produce the vast majority of the
wealth in this country and pay the most taxes, and you in the red states
receive the majority of the money from those taxes while complaining
about 'em. We in the blue states are the only ones who've been
attacked by foreign terrorists, yet you in the red states are gung ho to
fight a war in our name. We in the blue states produce the entertainment
that you consume so greedily each day, while you in the red states show
open disdain for us and our values. Blue state civilians are the actual
victims and targets of the war on terror, while red state civilians are
the ones standing behind us and yelling "Oh, yeah? Bring it on!"

More than 40% of you Bush voters still believe that Saddam Hussein had
something to do with 9/11. I'm impressed by that, truly I am. Your sons
and daughters who might die in this war know it's not true, the people
in the urban centers where al Qaeda wants to attack know it's not true,
but those of you who are at practically no risk believe this easy lie
because you can. As part of my concession speech, let me say that I
really envy that luxury. I concede that.

Healing? We, the people at risk from terrorists, the people who
subsidize you, the people who speak in glowing and respectful terms
about the heartland of America while that heartland insults and
excoriates us... we wanted some healing. We spoke loud and clear. And
you refused to give it to us, largely because of your high moral values.
You knew better: America doesn't need its allies, doesn't need to share
the burden, doesn't need to unite the world, doesn't need to provide for
its future. Hell no. Not when it's got a human shield of pointy-hea!
ded, atheistic, unconfrontational breadwinners who are willing to pay
the bills and play nice in the vain hope of winning a vote that we can
never have. Because we're "morally inferior," I suppose, we are supposed
to respect your values while you insult ours. And the big joke here is
that for 20 years, we've done just that. It's not a "ha-ha" funny joke,
I realize, but it's a joke all the same.

Being an independent candidate gives me one luxury - as well as
conceding the election today, I am also announcing my candidacy for
President in 2008. [Wild applause, screams] Thank you.

And I make this pledge to you today: THIS time, next time, there will be
no pandering. This time I will run with all the open and joking contempt
for my opponents that our President demonstrated towards the cradle of
liberty, the Ivy League intellectuals, the "media elite," and the
"white-wine sippers." This time I will not pretend that the simple folk
of America know just as much as the people who devote their lives to
serving and studying the nation and the world. They don't. So that's why
I'm asking for your vote in 2008, America. I'm talking to you, you
ignorant, inbred drones, you racist grade-school grads. Vote for me,
because I know better, and I truly believe that I can help your smug,
sorry asses. Thank you, and may God bless each and every one of you."

Perjury, denying someone due process. No matter what the subject matter is a crime and certainly should not have gone unpunished.
What if you were on trial and someone lied and it cost you?

[Rogue]

indeed and all that republican effort to ensure that all those criminal activities in the Reagan administration where appropriately punished.

Iran contra, although illegal, was not a malevolent endever for self enrichment.
North's security system seems to be the only perk to come from it. The rest was actions going against US foreign policy.

how very quaint.

I look forward to the republicans applying such high standards in the future.

ah so a different illegality and a different opinion how terribly convenient.

You will find consistency useful in avoiding mockery of your posturing outrage.

Implying that they have not in the past?

[noodle]

uhh....how about the justification for war in iraq?

You said,
"indeed and all that republican effort to ensure that all those criminal activities in the Reagan administration where appropriately punished."
Those criminal behaviors were investigated by the senate and those found guilty were punished.
My intent was not to excuse the guilty.
