Republicans missed the boat, yes or no?

Its really have become disgusting to continue to hear the Republicans used the Iraq War as a campaign talking point. They need to be reminded that Bush lied to the whole country on the reasons why we invaded Iraq. This means that he has committed high crimes and misdemeanors against the American people with this lie. The Republicans Party could have saved itself by acknowledging that Bush lied and taken the appropriate steps to impeach him. Instead they and Nancy Pelosi have decided to ignore this critical issue and table the resolution. In my opinion, Dennis Kucinich is a hero because he is the only one that seems to have the guts to do the right thing. He should be given the Medal of Valor for his efforts. The Republican Party would have faired better if it had addressed this issue but historically they will be viewed as the party that failed their duty especially when they went to great lengths to impeach Clinton on an issue that did not cost lives and untold injuries to our military, collateral damage to a country and its citizens and the billions of dollars that still remains unaccounted for by the GAO. If they had stood up for the principles they have preached for since its conception instead of being bushwhacked by a group of extremists, they might have been able to be more credible in this election. Instead they are traitors by deeds. In the primaries, the one candidate that should have stood head and shoulders above the others was ignored because the Republican base does not know that the Constitution is a sacred document and any attempt to alter or diminish its importance to this democracy should be considered a traitorous act. They boast that they are the guardians of this republic but at the end of the day they almost took us to the gates of Fascism. At this post, I am not convinced that we have passed that hurdle. Having a lame duck president who still has the ability to issue signing statements that may affect us as a Democracy just like the Patriot Act has done to stifle our Constitutional rights is one of my main concerns. I know that I am not the only one who feels this way and wonder if anyone else has the courage to speak out.
