38. Psssst, 'it's about Bush's POLICIES! Try to ignore the word bush and focus on the word

'POLICIES'. We went after Nixon, he resigned rather than face the inevitable impeachment.

But that was when we had Democrats and a few Republicans with guts.

Notice how many times you use the pronoun 'you'? Someone told me once to pay attention to people who overuse pronouns such as 'you' when involved in discussions. What that generally means is that the person is unable to defend their position so they personally attack those who are stating facts they cannot argue against.

What you are saying is frightening. That this country is unable to apply the law to those who break it, that our laws mean nothng. So why do we have them? Why not just be honest and say 'the law does not apply to those in power in America'. Stop with the pretense that we are some kind of democracy, because if we cannot prosecute criminals anymore, than that is where we are.

It was NOT Congress that said 'we are not going to focus on war criminals, we are going to move forward'. That statement came from the man we are told 'has no power, that it is Congress's fault'. He did not need to say anything, because it IS Congress' job to deal with rogue presidents. He CHOSE to make that statement and apparently he had the power to make it happen.

Why is it so difficult to face FACTS? And try to not make it about ME, I already know how fascinating I am, but we are not talking about ME right now.
