Double-standard much?

This shouldn't even be happening. I loved Bill, the GOP did all they could to keep him from doing his job..... but where were the Dems? Seems back then quite a few major ones stayed silent and didn't really do much to stop the GOP, until the end.
I just don't get it.... after 16+ years of dividing this country so badly that nothing gets done and we are truly feasting upon ourselves, all some people can worry about is "what did Bush get away with?" You cannot rebuild this country by blaming and hating and staying divisive. Give it up....in the end you will only look to be a fool for keeping that hatred and bullshit alive for so long.
Ummm hello, realty calling you. If you choose the next president and pat of his agenda/platform is to restore the office and rebuild the country as a whole not divisively then yu don't have to worry what the next president will do.
If you don't trust the candidate in your heart and soul.... then don'te vote for that candidate.

Along with the deep concerns you guys constantly raise with the administration, do you believe the likes of Nancy Pelosi are in not "in" on much of what you and host complain? Who pulls their strings? Who lines their political pockets? They are as "owned" as any politician can be. The leaders of the "peoples mandate" have been rather quiet if not lack-luster since elected, don't some of you feel used? I would be more pissed about those betrayals because they have the power to do something about the claims you're making against Bush & Co. You can argue how power "really" plays out in congress, but they are still not powerless. The evidence that you want to expose or bring to everyone's attention is old news to the powerful on all sides by the time you report it. I'd be seriously questioning their unwillingness to act if things are the way you say they are. To rail on with such a transparent politically-biased unidimensional focus is tedious.
sample predictable opposing group response:
"f*** you otto. Don't you know the majority of us TFP'ers (enter something authoritative here)? You obviously have lived under a rock and haven't read (enter obscure liberal author's article, book), or lived in the (oppressed persons classification of the day) shoes. You obviously ignore the facts (paste volume's of questionably sourced articles and quotes tied in with little original opinion here). You're the one that's tedious ... it's that kind of neo-con conservative (enter some bogus pseudo-intellectual dismissive analysis here). Maybe I'll school you in politics someday (add  to mask the put down) ... blah blah blah".

Quoted because I like what it says and know it's true..... esp. the opposing responses.
