The Pettiness of Politics
Clinton impeachment was retaliation for Nixon, says retiring congressman
Now, I know the terms Republican and Conservative are essentially interchangeable in the MSM, but let’s be frank. The Democrats are crooks. So are the Republicans. But at least the Republicans are my kind of crooks. (That was humor). They occasionally through out a policy that resembles something like conservativism.
Hyde, being honest because he’s leaving admits how petty politicians are. You slight them, they find a way to slight you back. Now Clinton made the job easy by perjuring himself, but that’s not why they went after him. They went after him from revenge making asses of themselves and a mockery of the system. Being a *insert your favorite insult here* doesn’t tend to work out for you so well.
That’s the thing about the fillibusters, and why we should make them do one before getting rid of it. This favor will be returned when they eventually get back in power (and the ebb and flow of politics suggest they will) (for that matter, Republicans running on the platform of decisive leadership and failing to deliver might bode poorly for their future as well).
