"The arrogance, inconsistency and unreliability of the [Clinton] administration's diplomacy have undermined American alliances, alienated friends and emboldened our adversaries...Gerrymandered congressional districts are an affront to democracy and an insult to the voters. We oppose that and any other attempt to rig the electoral process...Nor should the intelligence community be made the scapegoat for political misjudgments. A Republican administration working with the Congress will respect the needs and quiet sacrifices of these public servants as it strengthens America's intelligence and counter-intelligence capabilities and reorients them toward the dangers of the future."- The Republican Platform during the 2000 Election

Leaking the name of an undercover CIA Agent "respect[s] the needs and quiet sacrifices of .. public servants.." and allowing the terrorist mastermind behind 9/11 to roam free "reorients .. toward the dangers of the future." That's why the Republican Party is in charge- unyielding integrity and sound policies.
