    I'm hoping that he loses the vote or they merely decide NOT to vote - because it will continue to hurt his international standing.

    Then congress impeaches him. That would be delicious. Total Washington gridlock.

Extraordinarily constructive viewpoints!

I believe that what is bad for the Westboro Baptist church is good for America. I believe that what is bad for David Duke is good for American. I believe that what is bad for Al Quaeda is good for America. I believe that what is good for free speech worldwide is good for America. I believe that what is good for freedom of religion worldwide is good for America. I believe that cheap energy is good for poor people worldwide. I believe that technology holds tremendous possibilities for poor people to live better lives.

These are all constructive viewpoints and logically and epistemologically equivalent to my first statement - though stated more simply. You simply might agree with them more.

These are all constructive viewpoints as they stake out a clear position.
