20. You could have written the first measure of an Aria in the time that it took to ctrl-c, ctrl-v this.
Just sayin'.

2. He was 'persona non grata' after he mentioned that. We need a country
or candidates who agree with him. Why not?

5. Thats the weird thing, isn't it?
SCORES of people agree with Dennis' opionion about impeachment proceedings, yet it's DOA (Dead On Arrival) to the folks who could "make it so".

Nancy.....are you listening????? (btw, since 'Nance' and *I* have never met...I would 'normally' refer to her as Ms. Pelosi,....BUT, since we've never met (and are unlikely to ever meet), I have absolutely NO RESPECT for how she has used/ABUSED her position, as sooooooo many onerous ones have before her......it's disgusting how she's 'handled' herself & her new role! Truly!

9. The MSM and Establishment entire have instructed and convinced...
The populace, or, at least the smaller percentage who are politically indoctrinated into the Name Brand camps/divide and rule, that impeachment, and generally holding the Bush/Cheney fascists accountable - and STOPPING them and their wars! - is indeed a very bad idea, unseemly, and somehow inappropriate for "the country." The servitude and cowardice of our country is astounding, if not embarrassing. Silence = consent.

19. The bad thing isnt the MSM, its the other candidates that refuse...
to take a stand on it. Somehow they still have plenty of support and they wont even touch impeachment? Where is their fight, will they stand up for doing the right things if they are in office?

3. He looked completely stunned by the UFO question.
He did regain his composure and made an attempt at humor, but it took awhile.

that they would ask DK about UFOs, but did not ask Obama about McClurkin.

8. I would think so......if it made sense for the health of the country (the USA)
'at large' (as a whole unit).....versus what might be good for "some other country" (if you know what I mean......)

oh boy, whatta concept?! (slaps forehead)

11. No. Such deafening silence occurs due to the unspoken acknowledgement...
That one had the guts to dissent against a majority of ass kissers and cowards.

12. Pursuing justice for our country is "exceptionally stupid"
No wonder our country is going downhill fast. People like you don't want to pursue justice, they're just ready to bend over and say "Thank you sir, may I have another". Geez, Bill was impeached on a non-issue of a BJ, don't you think starting illegal war, torture, graft, treason and a handful of other charges are grounds for impeachment?

Or is it simply that you don't want these things brought up so that the next Dem president can employ them:puke:

Justice is justice friend, and if you don't defend it, you lose it. You may be willing to give your country away, but I'm certainly not going to do so.

21. um...no! You hear laughter and sneering when someone says something stupid but
when someone says something BRAVE and TRUTHFUL that has not been allowed to be said in public before, you hear a pin drop.

23. Actually that was one of the few times, and maybe the first time,
that the audience applauded.

They even noted it in the transcript :)

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21528787/page/5

"...I think that our democracy is in peril, and unless the Democrats and the Congress stand up for the Constitution, we are going to lose our country. We need to challenge him on this war, but we need to challenge him at his core, and the core is, there needs to be a separation of powers, a balance of powers.

Things are out of balance. It is time for us to stand up for the Constitution of the United States.

(Applause)"
