This is why I have progressive politics but zero identification with the Democratic Party (TM). I'm not on your side until you convince me you are on mine. - Dave Slusher

And if Cheney gets his long desired bombing of Iran and it escalates into armageddon, they will have doomed us when they could have prevented it. I wish I believed in an afterlife in which they'd receive proper punishment. - Dave Slusher

What exactly would an impeachment process have proved? It wouldn't have worked with the makeup of Congress, so he'd still be in power and it would have wasted countless taxpayer dollars and prevented Congress from dealing with anything else. How is that good for America? - Scoble, Alex Scoble

1) I don't buy that it wouldn't have worked and 2) The same reason you pitch high and inside. To let the batter know you aren't afraid to plunk them if they keep crowding the plate. - Dave Slusher

3) Because George W. Bush brags about his crimes without bothering to hide them and when you don't pursue criminals that practice in the open, you get worse criminals behind them. Policing 101. - Dave Slusher

The crimes of Bush and Cheney are many and well-documented. That people use the failure of the Clinton impeachment as justification to not pursue Bush and Cheney proves that the Republican strategy was a winning one. They used a weak form of impeachment to immunize themselves and it worked. - Dave Slusher
