This euphoria soon faded as I watched bitter war veterans returning from Vietnam siding with the very RePugniScums that sent them to war (with the help of CONSERVATIVE southern democrats) and blaming the “dirty hippies and peaceniks and n*ggers” for their plight.

That unholy coalition decided to con the holy rollers, down south mostly, scaring them with busing and racism and thus began the roots of the Southern Strategy.

This strategy paid off big in 1980 when Ronald Reagan took office and declared that “Government is not the solution to our problems; government is the problem.”

That was an attack on our Democracy that should have been met with impeachment proceedings, not to mention the other illegal sh1t that assh0lE got away with!!!

To this very day the RePugniScums and their corporate masters hate democracy more than they hate the dumbed down middle class they own in majority (and phuck daily) in this rapidly slipping democracy!!!!!

Own the Dept of Justice and nothing meaningful can happen.

Uncle Ho Says:
this WON”T look like Watergate.

Back then, Democrats actually had the balls to investigate, hold hearings, and voted FOR impeachment.

Today, Congress is neutered, and Democrats are EUNICHS!

Unc, there is another key difference; back then, Republicans were willing to hold Nixon accountable.

Today’s Republicans are simple apologists for other Republicans. Their hive mentality worked for a while, but it’s comng apart at the seams now as Americans start to recognize the lack of personal responsibility that is part and parcel of such a group-think.

I agree that the Democratic leadership has been spineless and cowardly. They shold have gone after important testimony with seriousness — testimony that could have convinced reasonable Republicans that restoring the Rule of Law was more important than party loyalty.

But Democrats could not impeach Bush and Cheney without substantial Republican support. Otherwise, it would just look like Whitewater and Monicagate all over again.

On a side note good news from the combat zone in Iraq/Afghanistan. Our troops know they were lied to by the Pentagon/White House what bothers them more is the lack of interest in them from the American people. As one soldier put it ” it’s as if they don’t care that we are dying and don’t have supplies”. Well that should make Americans feel good that they stand behind the President and his lies.

Try thins on for size, it may answer some of your questions. Make sure to watch the segment on 9-11 (but watch the whole thing if you can).

I still think Obama, Pelosi, Reid, and everyone else should push for a Truth and Reconciliation Commission to investigate everything and report back in a few years. Basically put this issue on a public track like the 9/11 Commission to free up politicians to govern. It would defuse Republican cries of being tormented by Democrats, of not letting bygones by bygones, while ensuring the facts at least will be known.

I doubt if we ever find out the real machinations of this regime over the last 7 years but I get the sense that KKKarl is one of the worst perps. I hate to think that they will escape into history without some hell to pay, but I am not optimistic.

If I could ask one debate question it would be: if elected President, will you pursue any and all investigations or will you call off the dogs to heal the wounds?
