The impeachment was very poorly done, as if the Republicans were trying to throw it. I wanted to see it be over the Chinese influence buying in 1996, but for some reason Starr chose the Monica Lewinski fiasco. That was stupid. Selling out to the Chinese for campaign cash was a far worse crime, and now it's forever buried.
Is there some reason to expect the Pubbies to be more intelligent this time around? I don't have very high hopes. Ruling by decree doesn't have the cache it used to. The Senate Democrats are even worse than the crop we had in '99. There is no way we'll get a conviction, no matter how appalling Obama's behavior gets. There are too many people who don't understand the government is there to keep peoples' hands out of other peoples' pockets, they think it's there to do the looting for them. They'll never throw out a President who is helping them, no matter what he does.
I will repeat, not that it will change any minds: If we impeach him and fail again, we'll be harmed, even more than last time. And make no mistake, that harmed our side in '99.
