You know, impeachment is too slow, even if it was politically possible. Which it ain’t, unless things get SOOOOO bad that even Repigs would vote to impeach. And if the situation in the U.S. was that FUBAR, impeachment would be like shooting the captain of the Titanic in the head minutes before the bow was going to slip under the waves. You’d have the pleasure of seeing his lifeless body bobbing amid the ice chunks, but you’d still be leaping for the lifeboats momentarily.
No, what needs to happen is the Repubes THEMSELVES have to force President Cheney and his monkey puppet to RESIGN! Because it’s their only chance as a political party.
If those rat bastards are still in office come November 2008, they will be like the dead chicken a farmer ties around the neck of a dog that raids the henhouse. The dog (potential Rethuglican voters) is so disgusted by the rotting chicken that it never wants to kill another one (vote for a Rethug) again. And while I don’t credit potential Reoublican voters with as much sense as I’d expect from an egg-sucking dog, I think it would put them off for at least one or two election cycles.
That would leave the Rapeublicon Party as a rump political faction confined to the unreconstructed South. As much as I’d like to see that happen, I’d like even more to see a winding-down of the slaughter in Iraq, and to avoid a genocidal nuclear first strike on Iran prior to January 2009. It would be so good for the Repigs if Nancy Pelosi was interim president, because they would have someone to whinge about, and that’s what they do best: Cry how it’s all the fault of the awful Democrats. When the Middle East explodes and the U.S. economy finally implodes (coming soon) there will be a lot to cry about.
So put the idea out there: Republicans get Bush and Cheney to resign, for the good of the party. (I realise there aren’t many R’s who read this blog, but it’s good to spread the word.) Do it soon, before the end of summer, or it will be too late. The shit will be dried onto them and stinking too badly to avoid electoral death. And possibly millions of human deaths.

Bukko: I agree impeachment now won’t do the Dems any good, because then they’ll inherit the blame for situations that follow as affects of the Bush administration’s screwups. However, I see the corporate dollars switching from Bush camp to Obama and Hillary camp already, getting ready to lobby and grease the administration that comes after Bush.
What I like about impeaching Cheney is that it sends a message from the people. And it will put a spotlight on the actual crap he’s done, which I think most hardcore red staters assume is mostly liberal rumor. But in this case, once you start digging into the rumors, you find they’re just the tip of the evil iceberg with Cheney. I’d like to see it all come out, and watch him destroyed under oath, so that this kind of regime isn’t allowed rule America for at least as long as the current generation is around playing watchdog.
I also think once impeachment hearings started…once he was forced to go under oath…Cheney WOULD resign, because under oath it would become obvious very quickly how treasonous his actions have been, and I think he’d realize that, and step down before having to confess to all the harm he’s caused the country. Also, impeachment would get William Kristol and Perl and all the war mongers off the airwaves and stop the “Iran is all evil” brainwashing of the country.

Somebody should check Pelosi’s stock portfolio. I am willing to bet she purchased a ton of telephone stock and is trying to drive up the price by having people making all these phone calls.
Shit or get off the pot. These silly games that they are playing are a bit tiresome. Everyone of the democrats know which way the wind is blowing on this subject, and don’t need a survey. Just another excuse, for not doing anything.
May 2nd, 2007 at 10:51 pm
Pelmo: I’m not sure about this, but I don’t think Pelosi is fond of the idea to get everybody to call her. I think somebody put this out there BECAUSE Pelosi appeared all too willing to sit back and benefit from the Republicans digging their own graves over the next months. I think this was just an idea to step up the pressure and let her know we aren’t pleased with her and the gang playing silly games…as you suggested, it’s time for her to take some action or get out of the way and let somebody else drive…

Bukko,
Love having another country boy in on this. Yep, sometimes the chicken round the neck works. It is what I’ve done, but it has a downside. The dog keeps coming around to make up…and has that rotten chicken around his neck all the time. You might be be under the baler and the dog comes under there with you and drops maggots onto your chest. I good friend used the shorter route. He gave the dogs one chance to learn. If he saw a feather or bit of blood around his mouth, it was the last time we saw the dog.
Kind of like Hoffa.
Pelmo and Joe,
I read a couple places that Pelosi had to bring in a LOT of extra staff to handle calls from folks who wanted her to develop a spine. It still seems like a game, since Hoyer said yesterday we are still going to fund the troops and probably only set benchmarks. I think calls help somewhat, but sometimes it seems like spitting in your garden during a drought. Doesn’t do much good.
Hey, here’s an idea:
DON”T impeach!
Let them all get out of office Scot free. That way, Bush can’t pardon anyone…and we can bring them all up on criminal charges.
Wouldn’t it be nice to know Shrub, Dead Eye and Gonzo would be “gettin’ ink”, “droppin’ the soap” and eating “mystery meat”?
Come on, Pelmo. As an ex-cop you gotta like that idea….
May 3rd, 2007 at 1:34 pm
Xman, you do have a great idea, one of those federal pens, and the lads would get their due justice.
The big question in Washington, is when are the Democrats going to unite under one banner? As many of them as there are in congress, that’s how many different ideas you have coming out each day.

We need to impeach Cheney — not sit back and wait, because if we do, we’ll be waiting forever. We need to impeach Cheney to remind ourselves who we are — not a corporacracy, not a theocracy, not a fossilization. We need to get that treasonous buggerer out of office and expose him for the heinous murderer he is.
Then we need to take that info — and later the bloody, drunken, greedy history of Bush — and shove it under the noses of the Evangelicals who bring their bibles to the polls, instead of their brains. We tell them, “Look! This is why the founding fathers separated Chuch and State. The day we became a “christian nation” is the day we became a bunch of greedy, torturing traitors. Don’t be so easily manipulated. God is better than politics. Come the rapture, He’s going to sentence you to an eternity of cleaning up Cherub shit, as punishment for trying to embroil him in such puerile human shenanigans.
Then we take that same info to all of the folks who are to apathetic to vote, and we say, “See! See, what we lost because you stopped taking reponsibility for it.”

La Sirena: Well said! I like your rants.
Speaking of the apathetic non-voters, though, not all of them are apathetic. In the 2004 election, plenty of people (especially in democratic heavy areas…) tried to vote but were turned away or simply left after waiting hours upon hours and not getting in.
So, how about coming at it from the other side, and saying that we also need to put voting infrastructure in place so that it’s reasonably easy for everybody to vote, and that includes every vote counting, which means we need paper trails, and absentee ballots that won’t be tossed in the trash.
As long as we’re wishing, how about go ahead and throw in my wish that we change our system to a preferential voting system like Australia. That way, we can vote for who we really like the most without fear of “wasting” our vote.
May 3rd, 2007 at 4:40 pm
Pelmo,
I agree. That’s what we get for seeing things in shades instead of black and white like the repubs do. We look like a herd of cats moving…going every which way. I’m sure that’s why they use dogs on fox hunts instead of cats.
La Sirena,
I wish I was at the shooting range with you today. You are hot! “Cherub Shit”. I love it! I bet you are practicing tying a noose today. I have to be honest. I like to think I’m being more thoughtful and rational as I get older, but I’m pretty sure if the conditions were right, after you threw the rope over the branch and cinched it up, I’d slap the horse on the ass.

I love went Liberals act tough…it’s really funny! As if a Democrat or Liberal could ever scare anybody. Too funny.
But, I find it funny that one of you idiots made the comment “stop the “Iran is all evil” brainwashing of the country.” I will make ya a deal. If Iran is so NOT evil…you go spend a year in Iran. Better yet, spend a week…you won’t last a day!
Iran and Islam are most definately EVIL. Unless you think the killing of anyone that does not agree with you (that would be the tenent of Islam) is GOOD. Or maybe you think forcing all women into servitude, and putting them below animals in importance, is GOOD. Yes….killing off your opposing political parties and gasing entire villages of men, women, and children is not evil at all.
Yup..you are right…we need to embrace Iran. We need to love them and care for them…cuz they are GOOD people. Well…they are good people that would love to kill you and me the first chance they get (cuz that is what Mohammed tells them to do).
May 4th, 2007 at 4:18 pm
> they are good people that would love to kill you and me the first chance they get…
The good friend from Iran that I had the pleasure of working with for several years never once tried to kill me. He had plenty of chances, too. He also loved the USA, and even married one of us. He didn’t kill her either.
Anyway, I hope the rest of his good and kind family back in Iran — who were much more tolerant than many Americans, and I’ll include you in that list — doesn’t get nuked because of a few short-sighted loggerheaded puke-stockinged rough-hewn clotpoles who have nothing better to do than watch another war on CNN.

Hey Eric, old buddy.
How ya doin’?
They treatin’ ya right?
Gettin’ lots of lime jello?
Straightjacket not too tight?
Sorry to hear the TV is still broke and stuck on FOX…I’ll bring you in a couple books.

Eric — So exactly when did not thinking we should bomb the holy godshit out of every country in the Persian Gulf so oil stockholders could have another year of record-breaking profits equate “embracing” and endorsing every human rights abuse in which a country engages?
I’ll make YOU a deal… If our intervention in Iraq is just enough to warrant intervention in Iran, why don’t you enlist and go fight against the evil that is the Muslim religion?
If we were really walking our talk, we wouldn’t have open trade deals with China. Unfortunately, it isn’t about human rights violations, its about who is paying off big oil. That’s why Hugo Chavez is universally hated.
I love when Neocons act like they’ve formed a well-researched, independent thought. It’s actually kind of cute when they pretend they have brains.
BTW– you leash-trained, Neocon automatons ARE forcing women into servitude. Under W our pay has decreased, our right to privacy and health care has been eroded, and our access to family planning has been limited — because of the fundamentalist Christiants that W caters to.
You’re right I’m scared. I’m scared of brainwashed, Neocon Evangelical pseudo-patriots pretending they are acting in this country’s best interest, the whole time undermining the Constitution and justifying the occupation of sovereign nations by taking the Lord’s name in vain.
But you are merely managing to imbed our national culture the with the social agenda of big coprporations. What happened to the Republican Party> I thought you were supposed to be about small government and individual rights and privacy?
Now go read “Persepolis” by Marjane Sartrapi, which occurs during the Muslim Fundamentalist conversion of Iran. With a little imagination, the most obtuse born-again Neocon could see the similarities between present-day US and Iran circa 1987ish.
Much luck!
