I find myself recently asking a lot of questions. Today’s question was prompted by — of all things — this particular Flickr photo. Just reading the comment Chris made started the synapses firing.

The question? Why is it that when a Democrat President is elected to office there is at least an illusion of peace in the United States? A follow up question, and more specifically the original question I wanted to ask, why then does that President have to deal with being impeached for “sexual conduct” with an intern? It boggles my mind that one President can go through all that while he is seemingly doing quite well for the American people.

When a Republican President is “elected” to office suddenly there is a war. Shortly after there is another war that needs to be fought. Not only have the majority of US citizens I’ve spoken with opposed this but it seems — at least to an outsider like me — that there is quite a movement to put an end to this fighting overseas. All the while this is going on the Vice-President is shooting people and getting caught making all sorts of illegal, behind closed doors deals with major corporations. I would think these acts are more worthy of impeachment than “sexual misconduct.”
