I have come to the conclusion after Presidents Clinton and
Obama, the last two Democratic presidents - that any Democrat who wins the presidency from Clinton on, will be vilified, hunted for "crimes", stonewalled, attempted impeachments, and made to seem like all the things the Republicans in Congress can think to call Democratic presidents. It makes no difference how fine and intelligent the man is..that doesn't matter to them as much as dragging them into the dirt and hopefully winning back power.
When will it end? Never as long as the strategy works. Frankly, I'm sick of it all.

1. Arrogant power hungry despots who manipulate the ignorant thru fear & hate.

We are now where Europe was hundreds of years ago...and some countries, a little more recently. We sure have come a long way since 1776 and what those folks had in mind.

2. If Laws were upheld for harassment, torture, defamation, treason then this would not be a problem.

3. It's character assassination

4. Your key phrase is "as long as the strategy works."
When they learn to use the media as effectively as the forces of darkness, things will change--not before.

5. Hmmm... what gave you your first clue?

Republicans are very vile people...Churl would be a good word..
Isaiah 32 5-8

5 The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl said bountiful.

6 For the vile person will speak villany, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against the LORD, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.

7 The instruments also of the churl evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right.

8 But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand.

6. You say you want a revolution?
Do you realize that if Bush was jailed the bullets would probably start flying?

That since it is just Democrats that catch the junk, and we 'let it be' and stick to
'I wanna hold your hand', that peace is contained and the civil war is kept at bay?

Take a bow all you peaceniks, you've done a good job keeping it peaceful.
Of course, we are going to hell, along with all those buttwipe pubbies, but at least it will be peaceful, right?

11. I said nothing about a revolution. All I said was no matter
who the Democratic party can elect to the presidency, that person will be demonized to the nth degree by the Republicans.

8. That's why a strong offense, beats a good defense.

Please see I want some more...they do it because THEY CAN.
