We are witnesing the end of an era [View All]

(Moderators it was sugested that I post it here as well)

In US history, as I have said I do hold a degree, and was thinking about it
The Nixon Administration started the cycle of dominance of the Right an the GOP. Watergate
bought some time for the Johnson Democrats, but not by much.

When Carter was voted out, the true Republican Revolution started, and like all cycles it went on the ascendant, to the point that Clinton could have and has been called by some the best
Republican President in modern US Politics (and as a member of the DLC and the Third way he
was pushing policies that were on the center)

Today we are seeing the end of this era of US History, we are living through history. The scandal now enveloping the white house has many parallels to the scandal that started it all. It has been an era full of scandals, mostly on the GOP side, as in really serious scandals. It started with Watergate, went on to Iran-Contra, and will end in Leakgate.

Impeachment is a political act hence I do not expect the GOP to eat their own, but in that abuse of
power the GOP (or at least the extreme right now in charge) is outing itself to most Americans for what it is. People are not dumb and yes it took National Security for the People to finally realize that something was very wrong in DC.

Expect many twists and turns, in the coming months... will Libby be turned to the Do? (Fingers pointed in that direction and the office of the VEEP today), or will this go on and on into a national nightmare not unlike Watergate? If the boy who wanted to be Emperor had any personal ethics, he would do that, but somehow I do not see that in the cards.

The Chinese do have a curse, and it seems we have been collectively cursed... may you live in interesting times.
