America wants Accountability. That is what they/we wanted in 1994 when the Republicans were swept into office. Americans were conned by the Republicans then. They not only did not hold anyone accountable but they went off on a crime spree that is still ongoing. People are pissed. They are mad that they were so badly fooled and they are mad at what America has become because of the lack of accountability. IMO that is what we should continue to run on and actually follow through on our promises. If we promise accountability then we damn well better deliver. Waxman gets it, Conyers gets it, Kerry gets it, but there are just too damn many that don't get it..They just seem to think once Bush* is gone everything will be okay. As long as our government is being sold to the highest bidder and as long as we stay an aggressor nation that tortures and kills indiscriminatly evertything will not be okay.. Accountability, let's demand it and actually run on the promise of it...That is why I am a very strong supporter of Impeachment. It is the only way we can hold them accountable. Just waiting til their term is up just won't get it.It establishes the precedent that you can do anything you want as long as you can stall long enough to finish your term...If Impeachment is not begun before 2008 then the Democrats are no better than the Republicans and in fact will have become accomplices..just my $.02 worth

2. I agree
Well said and very true.

Accomplices is the right word to describe it.
