Reply #5: The dem's "conduct mocks itself."

What is a more serious political crisis than having a President who believes he has the power to break the law and who exercises that power repeatedly and enthusiastically - and who, by the way, is still defiantly breaking the law as we speak? What possible rationale could exist for passing up the opportunity to educate Americans that George Bush is breaking the law and claims he has the power to do so?

Third, Kevin claims that Republicans are "having a field day" with the Censure Resolution. That's true. They are. And why is that? Because other Democrats, like Kevin, are transparently afraid to support it. The mockery from the Republicans is not about the Censure Resolution but about the fact that most prominent Democrats seem petrified to death of confronting George Bush even when he gets caught breaking the law. That conduct mocks itself.

As usual, Kevin internalizes false Republican propaganda by believing that Republicans love this scandal and think they can benefit from it. But the Republicans' conduct since this scandal began proves that the opposite is true. They tried to kill every investigation. They have tried to sweep it all under the rug. And just this week, Sen. Frist tried to force an immediate vote before anyone had a chance to even read, let alone debate, the Resolution, precisely because the last thing Republicans want is the spotlight on the fact that the President broke the law and the GOP-controlled Congress is doing nothing about it.
