Reply #1: Yet the pundits want Dems to promise not to do their Constitutional duty.

[Rageneau]

From every cranny and crack in the monolithic modern mega-media, we are hearing 'advice' from Republi8cans that Democrats, should they gain a Congressional majority, PROMISE not to impeach Bush. Not ever, Under no circumstances. No matter what he has done or how bad it turns out to be.

IOW, they want Democrats to promise that they won't do the duty they SWORE they would so when elected -- which is to protect and defend the Constitution.

Democrats shouldn't play this stupid game. When pundits pop up demanding that Dems swear they will leave Georgie alone impeachment-wise, Democrats should respond that they have no intention of impeaching anyone. Nevertheless, Democrats DO intend to do their duty and their DUTY is to act as overseerers of the Executive Branch.

Republicans wept alligatior tears and said they didn't want to, but they HAD to inpeach Clinton. Just had to. It was their Constitiutional duty. One they could not avoid. I never heard a word in the press to the effect that that was BS - that it wasn't about duty at all, but about poitics.

If we didn't hear that talk THEN -- when he issue was lying about an unauthorized blow-job -- how can the media be saying it NOW, when the issues involved are litrerally earth-shaking and Constitution-rotting in their implications.

Dems shouldn't promise not to impeach. They should promise not to impeach FRIVOLOUSLY, like Republicans do.
