71. I totally agree, but it has very rarely happened, and won't here, I think
On the scale you talk about, I think it is impossible. We'd need to overhaul the way our government does business to get those kinds of results. Think Reagan. Think Nixon. Think of all their cronies that are right back in positions of power. They will probably dump it all on Bush and ride out of the wave into the next Republican administration, if it even gets that far.

You're asking the impossible--you're asking for a group of people that benefit enormously from the system (any congressperson) to change it so they too may one day exposed for their incompetence/corruption. It's probably not going to happen.
