18. CLUESTICK: Impeachment vs. "Cutting the Funding"
Yes, it was discovered that war crimes had been committed as part of the masturbatory, military adventure in Iraq Nicaragua. They secretly tortured detainees mined the harbor.

Yes, the DC Dems remained silently complicit until a Republican, Barry Goldwater John Warner, finally said enough.

But Impeachment?!? For war crimes?!? No, no. We'll just "cut the funding" and that will do the trick. Yep, that's the ticket.

And so they did. And Iran/contra is what we got.

And instead of impeaching for that -- or for obstructing the Patrick Fiztgerald Lawrence Walsh investigation, or for illegally pardoning Poppy's co-conspirators (wait for it) -- we were told it was better to "look forward," and to advance our tired laundry-list of issues, and to not risk losing the next election, and.. and... any rationalization for inaction that would come to mind.

You reap what you sow.

Only Impeachment ... avoids another crop yield from bad seed.

It IS our positive agenda.

It is our ONLY moral, patriotic option.
