Enemies List

What is it with Democrats and enemies lists? We all know about Richard Nixon's famous list, but it seems like Democrats are the ones always wielding the power of the presidency to crush their GOP enemies.

In the 1990s, Bill Clinton had hundreds of FBI files secreted away, many dossiers on high ranking Republicans. Now, the cherry-picking of Republican donors for car dealership closings is raising some debate.

For all that George Bush was supposedly shredding the Constitution and taking away our civil liberties, there didn't seem to be much in the way of political payback to Democrats. Elections have consequences, indeed.

UPDATE: More on the partisan slant of dealership closings here.

UPDATE x2: Liberals say there's no there there. But if stats don't lie, we have to wonder why 25% of the closing dealerships aren't owned by Democrats.

UPDATE x3: The Other McCain has an interesting take on what Dealergate says about the conservative approach to the MSM.
