stopping these fuckers is going to take a lot more than impeaching bush
let's face it, impeaching bush would be sort of pointless, as others have pointed out, the line of succession is full of similar maniacs and dipshits, at least 12 waiting, every one a monster.

to stop these fuckers, we'll have to remove them all from our government, but the good news is, we outnumber them 10 million to one.


the law means nothing to them, let's take their fine example and ignore it as well.

1. Impeachment is a good start
And a necessary one. It sends the message that we won't tolerate this BS. This is OUR America, and it's up to us to protect it from tyrants. Impeachment may be small when compared to all the corruption, but it's better than doing nothing but complaining.

5. Sure will
I'd love to see them ALL investigated, and everyone who is corrupt impeached - regardless of party. If us little folks committed the crimes they have, well we'd be in jail. They're not above the law. If they did the crime, they can do the time, regardless of who they are.

They keep giving themselves raises. That's OUR tax dollars. Don't we get a say in their pay raises? I'd like to fire a few of them!

11. Limiting their powers
Elect a Democratic Congress in 2006 and limit their powers. That would be an important first step!!!

3. Real war is the "Haves and Have Mores" versus the "Have Nots".
That's a never ending war to be fought by every generation.

7. Impeachment is only the beginning.
If we can nail him on crimes, then that means we can nail the rest of them because they have all been complicit in the crimes. Also, the distraction should help prevent any new wars being started and other mischief that they are up to.

Sometimes gridlock and business not getting done is better than what could be happening.

13. they'd die in 3 days of minimum wage
but they should by law be forced to earn what they force us to, but only the minumum legal amount. they'd feel so insulted.

12. That's what I've said all along
If we impeach Bush as an end goal, that will get the country nowhere. This is because there will still be far too many people that think the NeoCon policies are fine. They don't connect them with Bush, and they don't believe that the policies themselves are what is the problem. If that's all we do, we'll get a Bush clone right back in the office within a few short years.

14. Relax
Impeachment's not going to happen.

What needs to be done is for the Democrats to get their act together and take back everything. Everything. That's how you neuter Fuckface and his thugs.

You do it by taking back the power, by hook or by crook.

Enough is enough.

15. I support an Impeachment
Edited on Sun Jan-22-06 09:00 PM by Nutmegger
but yeah I kind of have to agree with ya here. President Cheney scares me...

Impeachment is a good thing though; it will restore faith in the system.

16. they're cowards and rats...
if geeb was impeached, then the rest of the slimy rats would run away from jeb etc and the gopigs too linked to geeb to make running away to france possible!....the thieves are scared of 'the people' and as robert frost once wrote 'freedom lies in being bold' so any hesitation, or doubts, or attacks of conscience will be like a bull in the china shop, only this time the 'china' would be the gopig's personal fates themselves! And as anyone who's done a bad deed, or stolen a cookie, or mugged a lawyer etc knows - guilt is a burden made excruciating when too many of the guilty can tell on too many others guilty, with the 1st rat the luckiest! it becomes a rat fink's nightmare!
so enjoy!

Ignore the law as well? What, specifically, should we be doing?

19. Ignore the law. there IS no law anymore, they've decreed it
they don't obey it, why should we? i say we simply remove them from the white house and forbid them to ever enter again. it's OUR government, not theirs.

20. You're wrong. There are laws, lots of them for us and none for them.
What do you think all this spying is about. It's tp get the goods on everyone who might prove to be an obstacle to their ambitions.

I've lived in countries like this that are controlled by a small, authoritarian, elitist group of people for their benefit. All they have to do is make sure they don't piss off anyone who might take offense, and can do something about it, and bribe everyone else who might get in their way.

Other than that, there are laws on top of laws that are often enforced in the most brutal ways for the rest of the populace who have no recourse.

22. "Simply" remove them? How simple do you think it will be?
Are you envisioning a huge mob with torches and pitchforks?

31. Bush has been in power since 2001. Where are the pitchforks?
Where is the mob? I just don't see this revolution happening. People talk a lot, but I don't see the masses taking up arms.

Are you starting a mob? When? Where?

23. You are advocating anarchy.
Anarchy will lead to civil war such as is happening in Iraq. I for one don't want that. We have to follow the law to get our country back. However we do it will be setting a prescient. Doing it correctly will make it that much harder to lose our country again to the criminals.
How can we win by being like the enemy? We can't. If we lower ourselves to act like them and win, all that will happen is we trade one dictator and his atrocities for another.

25. We're *In* Anarchy!
Christalmighty--don't you get it yet? There is no "rule of law" in this country. The "rule of law" *ended* on December 12, 2000. We had a goddam *coup*. There is no "law", only power. The Repub fascist traitors understand this. Why else are they pushing this Hitlerian "Unitarian Executive" theory, the logical consequence of everything they've been doing for five years? They *get* this, scum though they are. Why can't we?

29. A little hysterical this morning are we?
an·ar·chy ( ²n“…r-k¶) n. pl. an·ar·chies
1. Absence of any form of political authority.
2. Political disorder and confusion.
3. Absence of any cohesive principle, such as a common standard or purpose. without a ruler an- without; See a- 1 arkhos ruler; See -arch ]

Me thinks we have a ways to go yet. Besides what you are describing is a dictatorship.

21. The Conservatives Have to Change, Too
Or they will just vote more neocon nutjobs in. I am not saying that they need to be liberal (although that would be nice). I can accept the fact that people have different views than I do. They *do* have to get rid of all the hateful crap that people like Limbaugh have beaten into their heads, though. Because of Limbaugh, conservatives lack compassion because they think it is weak & too liberal. I meet too many conservatives who seem to care about no one else but themselves. If anything about them needs to change, that does. Compassionate people don't vote for neocons.

26. the only real solution is severing the link between politics . . .
and corporations . . . completely . . . no lobbying, no corporate political contributions, nothing . . . then, and only then, can real change happen . . . because our "representatives" cannot possibly serve their corporate masters AND serve the people . . .

27. George Allen is the next one up...
...according to MSNBC's "insiders." He's a Bushie, but they think he can win if he can somehow attract those Republicans who don't like Bush.
