Right-and this was a long time coming. All the Liberals’ groundless and gratuitous challenges to state and local election results were their dress rehearsals.
‘Republicans’ sat around like half-wits and pretending it wasn’t happening. They ALMOST deserve it!
The Republican power brokers didn't sit around, they negotiated better percentages of the graft and corruption gravy train in return for sitting out the challenges.
Look at it from their point of view. If they went all in the way they should to fight a challenge it costs the democrats a lot more money. Why cost the democrats a lot more money when they can just negotiate for their self a portion of what they save the democrats by rolling over, then shrug when they're asked to fight?
This country is corrupt to the same degree third world chitholes are and the Clintons paving the way for US industry to rush to China in order create as many dependent people as possible was the start of the corruption spreading to all politicians great and small rather than being confined to mostly the very highest levels of State and Federal government.
China is their ideal, a one party State with wealthy, comfortable, political families playing musical chairs with roles through the generations.
False ethics charges were their tool of choice and with the help of Republicans anxious to get more of the corrupt cash instead of getting more done, and getting rid of Newt and DeLay thrown out on false ethics charges was the proof of concept. It's no accident that they're resorting to the same approach of false ethics charges.
After all, under Clinton the Republicans were more anxious to get better seats at the pig trough than to have Newt and DeLay actually deliver what they promised, so isn't this impeachment the same thing with just a list of Senators to pay off rather than members of the House?
