Today I say enough
Today we heard the sad news of a DU member loss of a family member in Iraq. How many more must we lose. Over 25,000 wounded the death toll near 3000 all based on lies. Troops coming home and not being taken care of. Programs for the poor and older people being cut to the bone. Education being denied to returning troops. And its going to get worse. I say enough Bush and Company need to face justice. Impeachment yes Jail for war crimes your dam right. ENOUGH

6. Many Of Us Have Supported Impeachment For A Long Time
Will the new democratic leadership have the balls to follow through?

That is the question.

20. Just out of curiosity...
...you might ask them how it feels to be war criminals themselves.

Because if they don't act to stop the ongoing torture at their first opportunity (Jan. 4), that is what happens. That is how war crimes law works.

And Only Impeachment ... will be seen as sufficient action under our treaty obligations.

It IS our positive agenda.

It is our ONLY moral, patriotic option.

8. good gawd we passed "enough"
Edited on Wed Dec-27-06 10:20 PM by barbtries
so long ago it's truly pathetic. TRULY pathetic! In the past two days i have shared with more than one person my fear that the democrats are going to politic all this shit - that if the bushies are not made to PAY for their crimes, i will be very bitter.

bitter, yes. how i have fought bitter in my life...my romantic history is dismal. my daughter was murdered with absolute contempt by a drunk enraged lowlife who to this day has never uttered a syllable of remorse or even admitted that it is her fault that a brilliant beautiful healthy 21-year-old is dead. i have struggled to raise four children almost entirely by myself, and with my youngest only 14, continue to do so every day.

my parents were both dead by the time i was 25. i have fought and fought and fought against bitter. i have recognized, i believed, that bitter would only eat me up from the inside.

talk about taking a lemon and turning it into lemonade! good gawd it's been a ride. and i kept my love. with my daughter's help (her spirit very demonstrative in my life for all of the five and 1/2 years since she was killed) i nurtured whatever faith remained after her death and built on it, built on it. i wrote a book. i do good works for the sake of hopefully sparing one child from a premature death, one mother from the hell through which i have traveled, sometimes on my feet, sometimes on my knees, often on my belly, wailing.

the crimes and outrages - genocide - war for prophet - irradiated ammunition - incompetence that approaches and exceeds the absurd (i mean my 8-year-old grandson would make a better president!) - trashing the constitution, stripping the citizenry of their rights, murdering our young in foreign wars and murdering our poor and old right here in New Orleans...treasonous outing of a covert operative - for politics.

HOW can anybody not see that the impeachment, imprisonment, indictment, conviction, and punishment of these indescribably slimy bastards is way overdue?! If the newly elected congress intends to do the job they will be sworn to do, this must happen. and fast. cause the body count rises and rises, and won't stop rising.

way way past enough, more than enough, much much too much.

14. Well, I, for one, plan to do what I do best - be an insufferable nag.
I have been calling my reps, and other people's reps, and increasingly, Nancy Pelosi also, demanding IMPEACHMENT. "Stay the Course," EITHER in Iraq, OR in the Oval Office, is NOT what we voted for. And I don't mind a bit reminding those for whom we worked so hard, those who gained the majorities in BOTH houses because of OUR work, time, effort, energy, and money, that WE WANT THESE BASTARDS HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

And I'm certainly not giving up now!

Please note the handy TOLL FREE numbers to the Capitol Hill switchboard, conveniently located in my sig line.

Remember this: If they think we don't care, THEY WON'T, EITHER!!!
