1. Remember the "caucasian mafia" down in FL during election 2000?
"Rule of law!" they kept chanting over and over again.

Back atcha, assholes.

2. Because it wasn't about the sex, it was about the LYING.
Bet they now wish they had just admitted it was about the sex.

3. "Your mileage may vary. May not apply in all regimes."
There should be a disclaimer for that lying = impeachment thingy.

4. If brush does not get impeached,
and we win back the country from his fascist regime in 2008, could we still prosecute him and his henchmen for the crimes they committed while in office?

5. We probably could, but the Dems would want to put the whole
messy affair behind them and get on with rebuilding the country and our image in the world.

6. Well, that's what we did in '93 with Iran-Contra.
And we see how well that worked out. Repukes don't play "you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours." They play a variation called "you scratch my back, I'll stab you repeatedly in yours."

17. I hope you don't think that was a slam!
It certainly wasn't intended to be. Just frustrated because we DID pull a "OK, Iran-Contra is pretty nasty, especially Poppy's last-minute pardons of anyone who could implicate him, but we'll look the other way so we can take the high road and start working on our agenda." and what did it get us?

Clinton got the budget bill passed that put us on the road to economic nirvana, but that was about it. Then the Pukes took control of Congress two years later and it's been hell ever since.

18. Didn't think it was a slam at all.
I think sometimes people on this site are so frustrated with the current admin, they completely ignore the faults of previous administrations - then take it out on those who point them out.

I completely agree with your assessment of the Iran-Contra fiasco, we should have gone after the two previous administrations. In not doing so, we allowed the bush admin to recycle some the thieves and liars from his father's regime.

And while we're playing the defensive now, the republicans are still pointing out how Clinton's penis killed 3,000 people - when it was their senators who blocked passage of anti-terrorism legislation in the 90's.

If we get a decent Democrat in office in 2008, he needs to set up a special commission to go after bush. If nothing else to put things on the table so history knows what a pig this guy is. Otherwise, history will portray him as a great leader like Reagan (since not many people realize how many thousands were killed because of his policies).

10. When Bush leaves...
When he leaves in January of 2001, he will quietly pardon everybody in his administration for any crimes they may have committed.

14. Thanks for the information.
I was hoping we could prosecute brush after we got him out. But now I see the logic of impeaching him now.

8. You are right.
If it was good enough for them to impeach I say it is good enough for us.

9. "They Impeach Lying Presidents, Don't They?"
...a bumper sticker idea. Who could argue with it?

The GOP proved itself the party of zealous impeachers. So who's stopping them this time? I'd like Republicans to explain that.

The Plan:
1) Get Bush under oath (in public and without Cheney holding his hand)
2) Ask, "Are you a liar?"
3) When he says "no," then IMPEACH, IMPEACH, IMPEACH!!!
