Apparently conservatives have come up with a plan to rally conservatives around the failed "p"residency of George Bush. Basically it involves criticizing Democrats for considering "censuring" Bush.
While there is a little talk of impeachment, Wisconsin Sen. Russ Feinfold is pushing a motion to censure Bush over wiretapping. As the Washington Post's Howard Kurtz pointed out "most Democrats believe Bush probably did break the law in approving warrantless eavesdropping" but the resolution "is scary to most senators with D."
Why? Because Republicans can use their TV and radio talk shows (Ok, they aren't owned by the GOP but they might as well be) to stir up their voters by claiming things like censure motions and impeachment are political ploys and only hurt the country. Brian Jones, a Republican spokesman said "This is raw partisan politics."
Right, and like the Clinton investigations weren't? Apparently investigations into a person's private life are not partisan politics but an examination of whether a president acted illegally is partisan politics.
If that seems confusing it would be simpler to understand the the GOP position is basically it's always OK to investigate Democrats and never OK to investigate Republicans.
