Congressional Dems have done the math...we don't count... [View All]

Someone wrote recently that when the Republicans went ahead with impeachment against Clinton they had done the math. Their core supporters, who had been whipped into a frenzy, were demanding it. Though they were only a small percentage of the population, they were key to getting the Pubs nominated for the 2000 election. The Pubs in congress were convinced by Newt and DeLay that they had to cater to their core supporters, while the general populace would forget by the time of the election.

In fact, by then, Bush come along promising to end the divisiveness of Washington, DC, which his own party had worked so hard to create!

Meanwhile, our Dems in Congress have done the math and decided that they can get by without the hardcore Dems, namely us. That's why there is no impeachment and that is why they will not do anything to confront or confound Bush and the Republicans.
