On impeachment, getting started on the right foot and tack. imo |
|
When we call and demand that our representatives start impeachment proceedings, well that is exactly what the bush* cabal wants us to do so they can turn it into a circus. First our representatives need to get settled and sworn in, get their footing if you will and then start talking about and agreeing upon what, then start serious investigations. There is so many laws broken where do you start, give them time to set down and talk about it and see what the most grievous of transgression that they can get a super majority to agree upon, not just the Democrats but republicans as well as us voters who asked for this. Oh, we asked for it alright and they heard us loud and clear and know full well we the people are not going to set by and allow them to white wash this and just let it go away. No, above all, we want precedents set , investigations, charges, trials and punishments doled out to the guilty, nothing less. So today I'll go about my business and let the cooler heads prevail as that is what we need so much right now.

Let the subpoenas fly and the investigations begin. If things are as horrible as we suspect, exposing them to light may very much lead to a popular demand for impeachment. But we don't *start* with that.
And if Bush finishes his term a pariah, so that people who supported and enabled him like McCain and Romney and Frist and Giuliani are tarred with the same brush, so be it.

due process. Let the system work as it is designed to and have been proven to be very capable of.

2. Wrong. They need to get settled and sworn in... |
|
...then start serious investigations. But at the same time we need to build a grassroots groundswell for IMPEACHMENT. We each have our roles. They're playing theirs. Will we play ours and come through for them?

5. The groundwork has already been done |
|
The agenda was formulated long ago because we knew this time was coming. I'm not in a hurry, we have the cabal trapped and like a cat I want to play with what I have trapped. He, they, aren't getting away the noose is around their necks let's let them tighten the knot all by themselves.

yet.
do a watergate style investigations first. get everything out in the open so everyone in the country knows what is going on. Remember it was the watergate investigations that lead to potentially impeaching nixon. but those impeachment proceedings were only in committee when he resigned in disgrace.
get everything out and force them to resign in disgrace. it will only help our cause.
