Have you not been watching? Besides, this debacle is very small change compared to the Iraq
invasion - who's been held responsible for that? Just 'cause something's wrong doesn't mean
that the wrongdoers will be called to account.

Yes because it would be very difficult to have the Congress convict itself.*

* Note that the president is being used as a scapegoat by the media and congress.  And frankly
your vote over president is completely irrelevant and always has been. This is by design.
Similar to how you don't elect federal judges. It's effectively the states governments that
elect the president.  The whole presidential election nowadays is effectively a overblown
stage show meant to make 'the people' feel like they have control over something while mostly
ignoring the people that really matter.  (ie: Congress) And I don't beleive for a second that
they were lied to. If they missed information the president had it is because they didn't want
to see that information.

You hadn't heard? The NSA has developed a ray that can travel through tinfoil. You have to use
multiple layers of goldfoil.
