A modest proposal. Time to put up or shut up. With a midterm election 5 weeks away, and not much likely to get done before that, time for the voters to weigh in, wouldn't everybody agree? At this point, given the massive exposure of the Starr report, most congressional candidates should have had enough time to digest it and form an opinion. I think they should all be pressed to state their opinions, wrt. whether it merits moving forward with impeachment, and let the voters decide how important it is. Seems like a simple step toward a hint of honesty on the matter. They want to say "no opinion", that's fine, though I think party affiliation would be a reasonable proxy for stated opinion at that point.
I put this forward in that other forum but there was nobody left there except mrknowitall to explain how unknowable it all was. He can repeat that argument here if he wants, I got nothing more to say on that.
Anybody else? I can live with any outcome. If it leads to 2 years of government by Newt, fine, either he learned something from 1995-96 or he didn't. We'll all survive.
Cheers, Dan. |
