In reply to the discussion: I wonder how Nancy Pelosi feels now about her "Impeachment Is Off the Table," when she [View all]Cal33
(7,018 posts)criminal dirt committed by Bush/Cheney that would have been made public
by the impeachment -- day by day, week by week, month by month. All
the dirt the Republican Administration had kept hidden from the public
would have been brought to light, aired in the open again, again and again.
To this day the majority of the Republican masses don't know or don't
believe any of it if they had heard of it. I'd say most of those who
vote Republican today don't even realize that the real Republican Party
had been hijacked and taken over by the corporatists, Neocons, Teabaggers,
etc... Most of them are decent people. Their leaders are the sociopaths.
Can you imagine the shock of the Republican masses when they begin to
see, perhaps for the first time in their lives, what their leaders had been
really up to. The Republican mass media would not have been able to
keep the American public from witnessing the impeachment itself first-hand.
Being found guilty or not guilty is secondary. The primary thing is that
the American public would have been exposed to and would have
gotten the truth for a change - and I repeat, perhaps for the very first time
in their lives. The whole ugly truth! And they would have been shocked!
It's quite possible that the Republican Party would have changed leadership.
And things might have been very different from what they are today-- for
the better.
