An open letter to folks like myself who cannot in good conscience vote for Obama

379. But none of this stopped the Republicans when THEY decided to prosecute a US President

NOT for War Crimes, true, but for having an affair. Why is they never worry about what anyone else thinks? The got Clinton impeached, and nearly convicted.

And Congress did go after Nixon also, had he not resigned, he most likely would have been impeached.

Everything you say may have become true, and that is all the more reason to change it. Nothing could be worse imho, than to be a country that knowingly allows War Criminals go unpunished. We have lost the moral authority to be able to be what we once claimed to be, the example to others on Human Rights. Now, whenever the US points a finger at other nasty, abusive regimes, someone, such as China eg, responds by listing the crimes of the Bush administration and tells us to clean up our own mess before telling anyone else what to do.

This weakens a country, losing the respect of the rest of the world. So, if it is true that it is policy to refuse to punish law breakers now, then it is even more imperative to start changing that.

'No one is above the law'. I believe that. What we need is a Congress filled with members who also believe it.

Edited to ask, as others have pointed out your sigline, but do you believe that sigline? I know I do but your posts in this thread seem to contradict it completely.
