Impeach already!

[Mythsaje]

It's our best and last hope. Not only as a nation, but as a species. If we give the Republicans the power to continue their destructive ways, not only to us, but to the world itself, we'll be kissing the future goodbye.

Speaking strictly for me, I want to see the future, and I want it to be miraculous.

I completely support impeachment. It has to be done. This is why:

1. IMPEACH!!

[Blue_In_AK]

2. Absolutely!

After watching Bill Moyers, I'm more convinced than ever. The future of our nation depends on it.

3. the future of our species depends upon it.

I firmly believe that bushco will attach Iran, and likely use "tactical nukes" to do so. Either in a 'preemptive strike" to "protect our forces in Iraq" or as protection for Israel after they attack (likely on bushco's suggestion)

4. I just returned from a vacation at the beach.

Every day I wrote in the sand 'Impeach Bush' in large letters knowing that a large number of people would pass by it. Some laugh. One person underlined the name Bush. Once in a while a person would scratch out the letters. I would just go back and fix it. It's great to sit back and watch peoples reactions. I just lay on my towel and watch the show. :dem:

5. Cannot the States directly request or refer Articles of Impeachment to the US House?

Any Constitution Lawyer types around here?

6. ITMFsA! Bush AND Cheney!

:grr::mad:

ITMFsA!

:mad::grr:



No need for hearings or investigations. The truth is already out!

All of their lies and deceit have been recorded, revealed and unraveled on videotape.

Why We Need More Investigations Like Cheney Needs More Power

Submitted by davidswanson on Thu, 2007-07-12 19:51. Evidence | Impeachment

Their crimes stand open on the table before us. Their lies about Iraqi ties to al Qaeda are on videotape and in writing, and they continue to make them to this day. Their claims about Iraqi weapons have been shown in every detail to have been, not mistakes, but lies. Their threats to Iran are on videotape. Bush being warned about Katrina and claiming he was not are on videotape. Bush lying about illegal spying and later confessing to it are on videotape. A federal court has ruled that spying to be a felony. The Supreme Court has ruled Bush and Cheney's system of detentions unconstitutional. Torture, openly advocated for by Bush and Cheney and their staffs, is documented by victims, witnesses, and public photographs. Torture was always illegal and has been repeatedly recriminalized under Bush and Cheney. Bush has reversed laws with signing statements. Those statements are posted on the White House website, and a GAO report found that with 30 percent of Bush's signing statements in which he announces his right to break laws, he has in fact proceeded to break those laws. For these and many other offenses, no investigation is needed because no better evidence is even conceivable. And rather than taking three months, the impeachment of Cheney or Bush could be completed in a day.

But the investigations that Congress has pursued at its glacial pace over the past six months, while thousands upon thousands died, have produced another impeachable offense, the refusal to comply with subpoenas. That is what President Richard Nixon did; and his refusal to comply with subpoenas constituted the offense cited in one of the three Articles of Impeachment approved by the House Judiciary Committee on July 27, 1974 as warranting "impeachment and trial, and removal from office."

Bush and Cheney are claiming executive privilege. Nixon also tried that one. It didn't work then; and it won't work now. Condoleezza Rice is claiming, with more frankness, that she's just not inclined to comply. Even Nancy Pelosi ought to understand by now that the removal of the threat of impeachment is what empowers the White House to ignore subpoenas, and that the threat of impeaching the White House for its stonewalling would break down the wall even before we reached impeachment.

7. They're saying it would take too long, so they shouldn't bother.

Fuck the Constitution, fuck rule of law, and fuck checks and balances.

[Blue_In_AK]

9. Fuck Bush.

8. IMPEACH !!!

10. The reality.

No-one would like to see this thieving dolt impeached more than me, but it isn't going to happen with the government we have right now. There are not enough politicians with the spine to vote for it. They are politicians first. Americans second. We can all hope for a miracle, but don't hold your breath. He and his cabal all belong behind bars, I agree, but us all yelling and cussing isn't going to get it done.
