Actually, the Republican party should be forced to pay for both Clinton's bills and the government's cost for the Whitewater / Travelgate / Lewinsky witch hunt. It was a shameless political attack. If you think it wasn't, then why are none of the same Republicans interested in finding "the truth" about Bush and Cheney's financial dirty dealings?
Bill & Hillary were probably even guilty of scamming 50-100K back when he was governor, but the Republicans really only cared about mudslinging and didn't care how many tens of millions of taxpayer dollars they used to do it.
No, I'm an independent not a Democrat -- they're corrupt too, and given the chance they'd happily spend years and millions attacking Bush in the same way, but that doesn't lessen the Republicans' guilt.
