I posted this a while back, but it dovetails into what we have seen unfold before us for a week..and it's still going on.. These people are DANGEROUS.. We must hang this on them like the fetid, rotting albatross it is..The republican party should be wearing in in perpetuity..
They cannot be allowed to wriggle free again..

Now we know the true consequences of "going easy" on Iran Contra
Had the Dems (who DID control both houses of congress) pressed harder, and not contented themselves with the idea that GHWB (the wimp) would be easygoing, and inconsequential...well things would be very different now.,
Had Reagan/Bush gotten their just desserts for Iran Contra, and all the dirt been exposed, they would have left office, fully disgraced..GHWB probably would not have even gotten elected..Carter would be held in higher esteem...and There's no way in HELL that *² would have gotten appointed to the white house
The appointments to the SCOTUS that were made by GHWB would have been made by a democrat..Kennedy..Souter..Thomas would not be on the bench, and we would not be facing a right wing court for the foreseeable future.
The democratic party has always hated "piling on", and has been ready to "forgive and forget".
Look at all the key players in this administration.. Almost all of them have their roots in the Iran Contra Days, Grenada, Panama, and many other republican schemes.
We do ourselves and the country a great disservice when we let the "bad guys" off with a slap on the wrist.
republicans have no shame.. they wear their crimes like badges of honor..and like the energizer bunnies, they just keep on coming back..
This is why we cannot let Rove off the hook, and strong language and actions are necessary..
The only thing that republicans DO understand is PUBLIC HUMILIATION, and jail terms.
If you DO wrong, you need to be punished..not just turned out of office to go lick your wounds until next time
