Here's the Dim logic:
Someone has made a serious charge against a Republican.
Therefore, that Republican should resign immediately.
There it is, the sum total of the Dims' thinking on any matter. Excpet for this addendum: And every Republican who might have known about the first Republican should resign, too.
Bill Kristol's article today in the Weekly Standard is excellent and reassuring that the RATS are playing with political fire on this.
Absolutely...the dims believe in the domino effect.
Line all the Republicans up in a row, accuse the first one in line of something, give him a little nudge and watch him fall taking one by one every Republican down the line with him. Plop...done.
