The impeachment isn't destroying the GOP but it reveals like an x-ray the underlying fissures that exist between the go along to get along moderates and the Republicans with principle and backbone.

Borzou, I think it is a myth that the Republicans are out to get the President. If they were, there would be obvious signs that this was the case. Instead, they seem resigned to dealing with the guy. Besides, once Clinton figured out that the "New Deal" was over and that Socialism had fallen out of favor, the guy adopted the Republican Platform and stayed alive politically. For all practical purposes, Bill Clinton has done mostly a Republican agenda. For those of you who seem to forget this here is a short list of Bill Clinton's "achievements": 1) Welfare Reform 2) Immigration Reform 3) Tougher laws on Crime 4) Weakening of Environmental laws including the approval of oil exploration in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, The Timber Bill (which allowed the rest of the old growth on Federal land to be clear- cut). Its a fact that more people lack health insurance now than when Clinton became President in 1992. The only Democratic "success" story that he has is that he has cut 300,000 jobs from the U.S. military and reduced our readiness. Still love the Con Man? -John

Falling apart at the seams? The Repubs control both houses of Congress and an overwhelming majority of state houses. Voter registration is shifting in Repub favor. I hope it gets "worse". JLA
