68. Democrats always "suffer" from their 'timidity"


We dropped the ball in Watergate by not indicting/impeaching Nixon, and Ford was allowed to claim the "calming of america"..it ultimately did him in, but it set the stage for the demonization of Carter and ushered in Reagan..with the full load of former-Nixonites


We dropped the ball in Iran Contra..(we had majority then), and we ended up with Bush 1 and Bush 2


and all during the bush 2 years our cowed dems in congress went along with almost everything bush wanted, so they gave him cover, and included themselves in the criminal behavior..

republicans refuse to participate, so to their followers, they are "pure", and cannot be "blamed" when things go badly.... we always have some who will go along to get along, and then try to weasel out when they get called on it..
