    Democrats - Go For It, Please

    I wished the democrats had impeached Bush, but they lacked the spine to do so.

    I wouldn't mind a true criminal proceeding, but I don't think the democrats have the spine for that, either.

    A question that should be asked is; why do the democrats lack spine? . . . I suspect guilt by association.

    If the democrats do anything, it will probably structured whereby the opposition cannot present their case, the opposition will not be given access to the "evidence", ... it will be a show "trial", not really a trial at all.

    In other words, it will be designed to serve the needs of the democrats, not of our country.
