Watergate, Iran-Contra, Traitor-gate. . .
These people don't learn.

Do these 3 scandals all not have the same peculiar odors? Is anyone else amazed?

I suppose I'm moving further to the left although I prefer the center. So much of what the left has said seems to ring more true as the scandal unfolds. Especially the sentiments about oil and money. They are just making so much money, and that can't be a coincidence.

The most amazing revelation is how the hard core rightists most definitely place their party over their country. They will go to the mat for these people no matter what. They glom onto every piece of disinformation fomented by the RNC and they will run over anyone and everyone in their way. And these are average people who aren't even cashing in on any of this.

It's pathetic. Truly pathetic. I wish we could run some interventions on these people.

Every time Republicans get elected, they waltz into office thinking they own the place and that the natural order of things has finally been restored permanently. In other words, every time Republicans get a taste of power, they falsely believe they can get away with anything.

2. They're getting away with an awful lot, I'm afraid.

3. Don't fret. You could be at the center and
the conservatives would still be a fly-speck in the distance.

4. It seems to me also that the right wing is fundamentally corrupt.
