I have posted my thoughts several times. I think the impeachment of Clinton was wrong and a waste. During that period I changed my party registration to Libertarian. I am not sure where you got the basis of your view here, but it was not from me.

There is no validity to your premise. There are many things done by Republicans that I do not support. The latest was their emotional and often shrill reaction to immigration reform. I often criticize Congress for their lack of conviction, this includes members of both parties. We have real problems to deal with, and we have people in Washington playing games. If you want to know more about what I don't like about Republicans, ask.

Libby personally acted repeatedly to withhold the truth from the investigation and the American people. That's his crime. That crime, by all federal sentencing guidelines, carries jail time. Unless, apparently, you have a friend in the White House (who may or may not have been behind your cover-up activities).

You say "the cover up" is the problem. What was covered up? the administration "outed" Plame in retaliation for her husband's attempts to discredit the case for war. The folks in the office of the VP where the key players, including Chaney. Fitzgerald did not bring the case to trial for some reason. Fitzgerald had the power to force the issue, but he did not do it. He went after a fringe player. You should be asking him why.
