That's because the last time they tried impeachment, they went after a lie Clinton told vs. Chinagate. The reason they ignored Chinagate is because they, too, were involved up their eyeballs in illegal campaign contributions.
Republicans are therefore left with only two courses of action: They can appeal to their base without which they cannot survive politically and act aggressively by passing bills, withholding money, bringing an impeachment vote in the House, and suing.
In other words, the Republicans can stand up and act like men or they can cower in the corner like mice...
Any guesses about which course the Congressional Republicans will take? </sarcasm>
Now, that's what they are certain to do! Didn't the silly McC say c. November 1 that nothing will change if he become majority leader.
