I think we are entering phase two where the righteous indication of the Repubs., and their transparent efforts to make hay of this overwrought atmosphere for suspect cultural agenda purposes, starts outweighing the public's...blah blah blah dougjn, please cite numerous examples of " their transparent efforts to make hay of this overwrought atmosphere". The thing I am most disappointed in is the timidity of the Republicans, and their concerted effort not to make hay out of this. The "meanest" campaign ad I've heard so far in my area was just before the Sept primary, where one Republican said he was for "truth in government". Man, how mean and transparent. What an opportunistic slimebag, having the chutzpah to stand up for truth in government. Yes, I'm disappointed. One would expect much more, and I hope I hear it from Republicans before November. Something on the order of "I respect and abide by the rules of our Justice system". And, "I won't ask my Congressional staffers to suck my you-know-what".

I think most of the overplaying is the Democrats overplaying how the Republicans are overplaying the situation. The Republicans have for the most part shown restraint. It's the Democrats that have ranted and raved for spin purposes. The rants about partisanship, about the damaging scenes in the tape, about sexual McCarthyism and sexual Armagedon, and about Republicans overplaying the situation have all come from the Democrats. It's ok if you want to rant and rave about it. But it's coming out of your own mouth, not others as you would ascribe. The Democrats realize if they don't bring up these straw men, they can't divert attention from the impeachment hearings. It's just as bogus as the rants that you now hear about the government shutdown, the saving of the surplus for Social Security, and myriad other phony issues that the Democrats bring up.
