...Oh yeah, one more thing.
When presidents from the Democratic Party lead us into war, it's the big, meaningful wars against active aggressors who are doing horrifyingly evil things and attempting to stomp entire continents beneath their jackbooted feet.
When presidents from the Republican Party lead us into war, it's grudge-motivated mean-spirited bullying against tiny pathetic nations with barely enough power to properly terrorize their own citizens (not that I think that's not a bad thing, mind you).
When Republicans attempt to impeach Democratic presidents, they leap like crazed attack dogs onto such issues as marital infidelity and refuse to open their jaws.
When Democrats attempt to impeach Republican presidents, they are reluctant to actually do so even when the president in question has been engaging in vast conspiracies to deceive or defraud the American people about such issues as Presidential elections or wars.
...The latter pair of statements is, in a way, more even-handed than the first... but I still think I've made myself clear.
