Saw your Senator Allard on Crossfire the other night. He seemed to be almost jesting about the politics behind this impeachment.

Bill Press showed him a TV clip of a Vermont Republican Senator who admitted he was under pressure to vote to convict Clinton in order to satisfy the base of the Republican Party. Allard responded, somewhat laughingly, by saying that wasn't entirely true. He stated they even let some of the Senators vote the way they wanted to vote!!!!!! LOL

During the whole half hour of the show Allard was winking and making all kinds of subtle jokes with the Democratic Senator that was on with him. They seemed to be putting on a big act!!

I'll bet they all were disgusted with the House for bringing such a ridiculous case to them. They knew he would not be convicted, so they let each Senator vote to save his or her butt. The whole trial was just about the Senate covering it's backside and not about whether Clinton was guilty or not. His acquittal was a forgone conclusion. The Republican Base ( all these lovely conservatives who post on this thread are part of it ) were hung out to dry and made fools of by their own party!!!!!!!!!
