all you anti-impeachment types... [View All]

You and your Congressional "democrat" friends who oppose impeachment and believe it would be "politically divisive" to hold the bush cabal accountable for their crimes are playing right into repuke hands.

I have heard one argument over and over and over from repukes when I place blame for ruinous repuke policies. "Both parties are to blame," they say. All of them. None of them like bush either, but they don't blame repukes for the "war," or the lies, or the torture or the damage that has been done to the economy. "Democrats have done nothing to stop the Republicans. Both parties are at fault. You can't blame Republicans for (crappy schools, dead and maimed soldiers, lost jobs, foreclosures, poisonous food, deadly products, sky-high trade deficits, recession/depression, what have you). It took both parties to create this problem," is their firm belief.

When I see the utter failure of the "Democrats" in Congress, both as an opposition party and as the majority party, I can't say I fundamentally disagree with the point that "democrats" are part of the problem.

By turning a blind eye to bush crimes, Pelosi et al strongly reinforce the perception that both parties are corrupt and are "in it together." This thwarts hope for change and creates ever more corrosive apathy. Worse, it allows the 20% - 30% repuke party faithful idiots to continue believing (and voting as though) their utterly failed principles and policies have intrinsic merit (cut taxes, shrink government, deregulate, privatize).
