While the senate may not have convicted clintoon regrardless of the evidence and witnesses that SHOULD have been allowed, the senators that voted not guilty would have paid a price for their not guilty votes had the public been able to see the evidence and hear the witnesses. "chester", gave them a free pass to vote without consequences. Why? Is he a closet queer, a child molester or something worse? (I don't think there is anything worse than a child molester) but something is in his background that caused him to roll over.
Try to tell that to Time magazine, Newsweek, the New Republic, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, the Washington Post, NY Times, Philadelphia Inquirer, Baltimore Sun, Atlanta Urinal and Constipation, LA Times, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc..
They will play this story until the cows come home and until the House, Senate and White House are DemocRAT.
If, as now seems likely, Lott steps down as SML to just a plain Senator, will the pubs begin talking about the Dem offenders??? I would hope so, particularly with Frist or Nickles at the helm it seems likely that we'd see turnabout. How would dems respond to KKK byrd, to anti-civil rights votes, etc. The evidence is damning, and it is everywhere.
The liberal media wouldn't want to go along, but with Frist/Nichols in the bully pulpit of the senate, and with talk radio and internet the way it is, IMO it would be interesting.
It's not a win-win to have Lott step down, but it's a no lose- win situation.
This guy is a dinosaur and the Republicans can ill afford the likes of him in a position of leadership.
He should step down and let our party get on with KILLING THE DAMN, FACIST RAGHEADS!!!!
