The Senator is way I hate the GOP (and people like that in the Dems I despise even more); the counsel is why I can still love the GOP. Those Republicans do exist, and I'm glad the WW writers took a moment to remind us.
I wish Republicans like he had been running the party during the Whitewater investigation. The smallminded vindictiveness of the ruling Republicans made me lose all respect for GOP back then.
There are men and women of good will in both the Republican and Democratic parties.
But there are fewer every day.
Many Democrats have been overtaken by a cowardice that prevents them from standing up for what they know to be right.
The Republican party suffers from a darker malady. Their greed for money and lust for power has consumed their soul. Those Republcans have been swallowed whole by their evil
The Republican party represents a clear and present danger to the survival of America.
It seems all the posters here live in a fantasy world and believe all Democrats are saints and all Republicans are horrible. Yeah I grew up believing Santa Claus was real too. Time for a reality check people.
@MikeJames6 Few people are saints, Democrat, Republican, or Independent. But the Republicans have become a malignant force for evil in America.
Have you listened to the Republican debates?
Crowds of Republicans cheering for the death penalty. Good people disagree here, I was on one side for 35 yrs till I changed and have now spent 15 yrs on the other. Execution may be necessary, but is putting a human being to death ever a reason to celebrate?
@MrAllad there are more of us then the media would lead you to believe. Most Republicans I know are good people who despise underhanded tactics like the ones shown here.
This recess allowed time for House Republicans to negotiate with the Bartlet Administration. They proposed a deal where Jed would not fight a Congressional censure in return for no further hearings on the subject. Leo objected, saying a censure would harm the President. He said "I take a bullet for HIM, he doesn't take one for ME!" But Jed agreed to the deal, because he felt he deserved the censure for not disclosing his medical condition during the campaign.
@Nonsensei436 No they didn't. Watch Season 3 again. They were in their first date when he found out who she was and he realized that getting involved will be a problem. That's why he cut their 1st date short and took off. But they hooked up again after that. Donna may not have known but Cliff surely knew. So he ethically compromised himself for sex (seeing how he would have known it won't go anywhere once she found out the truth).
OMG I just realized the majority counsel also play Hank on Royal Pains!

@bec6143 Cliff in this scene was someone who was ethically wrong when he knowingly slept with a person (Donna) who was going to be subpoenaed by him.

@Nonsensei436 Infact, if Josh didn't cover for Donna like he did, they both would have been in a lot of trouble and both their careers would be over.
