republican administrations. We had the savings & loan scandal and Iran-Contra during the Reagan administration and torture and related crimes during W's administration. It has become acceptable to whitewash their criminal and impeachable deeds. They seem to get bolder and more empowered and corrupt with each new republican administration. The media covers their @$$es and the Democrats look weak. They are laughing at us and they'll keep on doing whatever they want unless the Democrats make a stand. If the facts warrant it a nice public impeachment to divulge their misdeeds to the American public and make them a matter of record is called for. To shout out this is what we have become and what we find acceptable from our elected leaders in this country.

The Democrats have the moral high ground and are not willing to use it.
