2. Neither
They lack the political courage to do either one.

3. Neither. They're too busy fundraising and spinning their votes.

6. Neither, such actions would detroy their power
since both parties are tied together and realize they have more in common with each other and maintaining their control on the government, than the poor fools who vote for them.

8. Neither. And they won't even give either a serious try.
They are too busy quivering in fear of a "Rovian" attack. Nevermind that actually *LEADING* would insulate them from such an attack. Our Dem leadership is a bunch of cowards, the two front runners for the presidential nomination included. It's all cautious, poll-tested bullshit. No leadership.

We need Gore. But we don't deserve him.

9. Only mpeachment can end the war. Under rule by signing statement. . .

. . .no act of Congress can accomplish a friggin' thing.

If they won't impeach, in the next 87 weeks we will see nothing but the spread of violence and chaos across the Middle East; we well see more and more trading partners looking elsewhere (who wants to do business with War Criminals)?; the consent of the governed will remain banished to oblivion; and the electorate will continue to be rendered powerless by the men and women they elected to serve as their voice.

IF they won't impeach, they will watch in dismay as the Republicans take back control.

With the power to steal left in the hands of the fascists, the nation will never know if the fascists simply stole it, or if the Americans electorate was so disillusioned by the wimpy Dems that they did what they so often do: Vote for Strong and Wrong.

Strong and Wrong beats Weak and Right. And it crushes Weak and Wrong.

As long as they refuse to impeach, Dems are not only abandoning the nation to fascists, they are committing political suicide. WEAK and WRONG never wins.

11. If you like that. . .
. . .after that post, a little slogan got stuck in my head. Couldn't shake it. Figured it might be worth a post:
