(3,138 posts)They've convinced themselves that lawlessness and corruption are acceptable, and that their own political gain is more important than the well being of the country. The Democrats have been complicit in this because when they get power they refuse to lance the abscess, and instead we get a bunch of hopey dopey talk about "moving forward".
We don't need another Gerald Ford. Gerald Ford did not "heal the country" by pardoning Nixon - he normalized lawlessness and put politicians above the rule of law. We need the opposite of that now. We need to make an example of this gang of traitors. They need to have the book thrown at them - they should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, have their grafts confiscated and their careers torched. No pardons. No "impeachment is off the table". No appeasement.
If a RICO case can be made against the Republican party then it should be made. We aren't going to get any positive action on anything in this country until we teach the party of Nixon that crime doesn't pay.
