IMPEACHMENT...
Unfortunately not even the other party of record is REALLY trying for this. As one congressman I heard say (paraphrased) 'It would be difficult and w/o a majority in either house it would not happen.' They choose to look forward to the next two elections to make a difference. I am not sure that is not being too prudent. It reminds me of the dems going all center and trying to out GOP the GOP. All it does is alienate the left and create a win-win situation for the right. Even if they lose they have a much more centrist and kow-towed opposition. Don't ask-don't tell, the defeat of universal health care, NAFTA, GATT... These things didn't happen during a republican administration. If we are going to shy away from a fight based on "we might lose" rather than reasons of "right and wrong" (like impeachment) then we are setting ourselves up for failure.

hmmm, good post....
But Nixon's impeachment proceedings happened during a Republican Regime...right ?
( and Clinton- the Repugs were in control of the house and Senate- right?)

So true enigma. However, in 1974 the GOP still had some ethical dwoemer of backbone. When John (I'll lick the boots of the administration that defames me) McCain is what passes for a righteous republican...
