50. Perhaps you should begin to compare the number you've seen...
...with the number of those who don't say that -- even among those expressing disgust with the LieberDems in DC. Anecdotal evidence can be very misleading.

Perhaps you can also explain what is more endearing about getting even less than a symbolic gesture?

But the reality is that impeachment is far, far more than a symbolic gesture. (If it weren't, there'd be no controversy.) It is an historic effort -- to at the very least stand in objection to war crimes.

It would make a "gesture" (very real) to the rest of the world, to our children, and to our fellows -- demonstrating that the American People do not accept War Criminal Nation status, and these crimes committed in our names, without at least a resistant voicing of objection.

Many of us think it is a moral, patriotic imperative. Others prefer continued tacit complicity.

Your mileage may vary.
