I BETTER NOT HEAR ANY REPUBLICAN COMPLAIN ABOUT THE COST OF ANYTHING!
http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/12/08/ohio.vote.ap/index.htmlThe Bush campaign has criticized the recount effort, saying it will not change anything. And some county officials have complained about the real cost, which Ohio Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell said is probably about $1.5 million.

HOW MUCH DID IT COST TO INVESTIGATE CLINTON'S SEX LIFE?

1. We (our government) is also sending $3 Million to Ukraine
to assist in the recount effort. Psycho-hypocrisy in action.

2. I thought the campaigns and individuals are having to fund
the cost.

4. I think it was at least $7 million.
I'm at work so I might not be able to get back to you with a confirmed figure.

I know this because at the time I was actually upset with Clinton for denying it for so long, and blamed him for what it cost in the interim to when he admitted it.

5. Hmmmm...this says $4.4 million.
I don't know if this was in mid-investigation though, but it does say that at that point, all the investigations cost $40 million.

6. You're about right. Actually, that was a rhetorical question.
My point was election fraud is a damn good reason to spend millions investigating than a sex thing.

8. Hey, they found $50 million to investigate NASA's incompetency. . .
when the space truck fell apart, but could only find -- what? -- $3 million for the initial investigation into the September 11 fuck up. These sleaze are beneath contempt.

9. Indeed!
The amount of money you spend on an invesitation is an indication of what kind of results they want.
