Jim White

You're right.. I disagree.

I know many people are going to disagree with me here, but I maintain that there must be many people within our government, especially career civil servants, and many people who are Republicans, who understand the depths to which our nation has plunged. Our country can overcome the damage that has been done, and it can heal, but I believe that this process would be best if it starts from within the government and within the Republican party. Brave patriots need to come forward with further details of the Bush-Cheney misdeeds and to call for their rapid impeachment and removal from office.

The rot has gone on too long, is too pervasive and too "bipartisan" to ever be repaired.

This has been coming for a long time now, decades at least.

When Bush 41 preemptively pardoned Caspar Weinberger to hide his own up-to-his-eyebrows involvement in Iran Contra that was basically the beginning of the end.

Nobody really said much about that, it should have had Democrats and Republicans both screaming like banshees. That it did not was clear evidence of the corrupt nature of the elite in this country.
