is so obvious as to be undeniable
I maintain that the Republican attack machine under the leadership of DeLay would have found something to attack,repeat, attack, about Clinton to lead to a crisis. I absolutely DO NOT think he had a larger degree of immortality than the average American or average President. It was a right-wing conspiracy attack from the beginning. It was not about whitewater, travel, Foster, Jones, or Monica. It was about DeLay.

According to the Random House Dictionary:
Conspire: 1. to agree together, esp. secretly, to do something wrong, evil, or illegal. 2. to act together toward the same goal.

In a room full of educated people, when a topic is brought up, almost everyone will have a different perspective and opinion on that topic. When two people share the exact same opinion, it is cause for remark("Oh, I can't believe we think so much alike!"). If several people have the exact same opinion, it is believed that maybe they have talked among themselves previously and had some kind of shared experience from which they have agreed to the same things. When the whole room has the same exact opinion....well, you get my drift here.

Of all the Republicans in the House of Representatives, and all the Republican members of the US Senate, how many stood up and said: "This impeachment is not warranted? This thing we do is wrong"?

If the answer is "not one".....What was that definition again?

I use the impeachment as the example because it was the clearest, but it all started with the original baseless allegations that resulted in the appointment of the "Independent" scoundrel and the further allegations upon which that investigation was expanded. When the investigation closed this past summer with no findings of criminal wrong doings on the part of either of the Clintons, how many of the original accusers stood up and apologized for being wrong? If the answer is:"not one".....again, what was that definition of conspire?

The Republican Party has operated under the assumption that if enough different people repeat the same thing to different audiences enough times, that thing that they say will take on the aura of truth, regardless of whether it is or not. Evidently that assumption is a good one.

Let's see, is it coincidence that all Republicans were saying the exact same thing? If it is not, then what could it be?
