Impeachment and Mitt

Impeachment is not a subject to be taken lightly.

However the Republican led impeachment of William Jefferson Clinton that impeachment is all about politics. The charges that were brought by Republicans showed that they were not concerned at all about what the founding fathers would be considered "high crimes and misdemeanors" against the Constitution. Rather their underlying concern was payback for the near impeachment of Richard Milhous Nixon because they would use any reason at hand for impeachment in the constitution as the ultimate weapon.

The Republicans then and now shows that they are against the founding ideals in the Constitution. Specifically they agitate for state sponsored religion and to have office holders submit to a religious test.

What we are witnessing is that for all of the pious pronouncements by Republicans about "morality" can now be rolled up into a concise summary by the speech given by Mitt Romney on religion and the national government.

Mitt Romney's speech is a direct challenge to the understanding that the state should never favor one religion over another. It is clear that Mr. Romney failure to understand that core principal is shared by all Republican presidential candidates.

What Republicans now hold forth is that religious morality of a candidate is the deciding factor.

Being president means for Republicans that any moral laxity would be grounds for impeachment because of the precedent they set.
