A Case for Republican Secession (From Itself)
Sometimes the body from which a political party springs is so filled with bile and corruption that its healthiest components should seek to go their own way. A case in point is today's Republican Party.

This appears to be the year of impeachment. So far, a State Governor (Rod Blagojavitch) and a Federal Judge (Samuel Kent) have been gotten rid of this way, and it appears there might actually be more.

In the same week that hundreds of thousands of Iranians took to the streets to protest a travesty of democratic values, Americans took to the streets for the death of a superstar entertainer.

Sanford, judging from his media mea culpas, is a gushing torrent of public self-flagellation, backed by a biblical rationalization. Stanford is much more unrepentant.

If such deceitful activities are exposed, can the damage be undone? Once trust is broken by betrayal, can it be regained?

Will Sanford's dalliances cost him the opportunity to run for president? McCain was not held back after his history of cheating on his wife, then marrying the wealthy woman he cheated with.
