QuoteDid you get a good chuckle when Ted Kennedy filed impeachment papers the day after Bush's second swearing in?

My previous comment was a bit tongue in cheek. I'm well versed in the Consitution and what it allows. Such that in the '90s I laughed at all the "Impeach Clinton" bumperstickers and the ignorant rednecks who put them on their vehicles from the day he took the oath. Impeachment is little more than an indictment, and must be followed by a conviction (removal) on the Senate's part for it to mean anything. Notice how quickly all those bumper stickers disappeared when he was impeached but not removed? Priceless.
The Democratic party will continue to lose because it can offer no alternatives. Kerry would talk and talk and talk during the election about what needed to be fixed, but never saying how it would be done. The DNC chair, Howlin' Howard Dean, talks big but can no longer draw the way he did during the election.
If they want to win, they need to have viable solutions to today's problems which are better than those of the Republicans, and they need to do it without taking from the people. They cannot do that as they are right now, which is why you can see Hillary slowly sliding to the center (to be fair, McCain seems to be doing the same thing). She knows, just as Bill did, that you must talk the middle to be elected, then you can change to do what you want.
