People are human, even Republicans. They may have made mistakes early in life or have been falsely accused. Look at what they did to Linda Tripp regarding that shoplifting beef. Or they may have relatives who were dopers or homosexuals. Even honest people can be blackmailed or intimidated.

I already answered that. It would be chaos and anarchy. 300 million people yelling at the same time. Leave it to the professionals. They have the higher pay grade. :-)

Then they put career over country. I hadn't heard about the 'doomsday weapon' I'm curious now.
