If the Democrats don't focus on actually winning the next election instead of fighting already lost battles they are going to hand the Republicans the presidency in 08.
Every time there has been an impeachment, the party in power lost the next presidential election.
Which has happened twice out of 43 officeholders, not quite what I call a defintive statistic.
Agreed.
Plus, Clinton wasn't found guilty, and Gore should have (and could have) fought harder for the win, he basically abdicated.
Either way, like I said earlier, although there is plenty of evidence of wrongdoing, and absolutely no question in my mind they are guilty, it would do more damage than good. As long as Congress can put Bush on a leash and keep him from doing more damage then we are fine till election time, and as long as Hillary doesn't screw things up by forcing the sheeple to vote for any male Republican (the only way this country will elect a female president is if both candidates are female) we should be ok.
There honestly isn't a decent Democratic candidate currently, Obama is too new, Hillary is too... I'm not sure what but she's definitely too something, Gore is too Gore. I'd vote for Kerry again but not with any real enthusiasm.
Jesse Ventura maybe? Even better than a Democrat.
