To Impeach or Not To Impeach
Wednesday, 27 February 2008
by Tom Chartier and Elizabeth Gyllensvard


Could the Democrats in the House be slithering out of a primeval slime to evolve from a pusillanimous sea slug (native to the Sea of Hypocrisy), into something that breathes air, walks upright and as a rule does not eat its own young? Since September 11th, the Democrats in Congress have been on a downward evolutionary spiral; could that trend have been thrown into reverse by the doings of an even more degenerate species?

To be sure, some members of Congress have been doing their duty to uphold the Constitution. John Conyers has been actively pushing impeachment of Bush and Cheney since 2005. And Rep. Robert Wexler has his campaign. Last November, Rep. Dennis Kucinich led the charge to “send a resolution considering the impeachment of Vice President Cheney to the Judiciary Committee.” Republican Texan, Rep. Ron Paul has condemned the White House “demented philosophy of conquest.”

Recently, this bravery was followed up by Congressional issuance of contempt citations to that disgraceful duo Joshua B. Bolton and Harriet E. Miers. What’s more, on the same day, Democrats in Congress refused to make permanent the temporary the Protect (George W. Bush from) America Act. Words fail me. Imagine that.

What is at stake is not American security from terrorists. “Those two” have provided us with plenty of terror. What is at stake is our freedom.

And the last remaining tool to restore our freedom may be the U.S. Constitution’s trump card of impeachment provided by this little clause (Article II, section 4). The legal ability to remove a corrupt leader is the one thing that sets us apart from the citizens of, say, Zimbabwe.

Do you want to give up your freedom? Use it or lose it.

If ever there was a time for impeachment it is now. Without impeachment, the precedent set by Bush and Cheney will enable the next president to continue what “those two” have begun. And the Power of the People will be gone forever.

Pretty sad when you think about it that "doing there job" amounts to "bravery"

6. I don't even think that the time is now...

I think that whatever the time, they have no choice. They took an oath of office to defend the Constitution, and they should be impeaching both Cheney and Bush as we speak.
I have written to my rep (a Democrat) about this, and I got one of those wishy washy "if we impeach we won't be able to do the good job that we are doing...etc. there is so much work to do...he will be gone soon...".
Sorry, but I don't buy it. And not even hearings?!
It is unconscionable...
