If you think someone is guilty of a crime, what do you do ? "Bring it On!" |
|
In most cases we have police who, if they see something amiss, stop you and issue you a citation or arrest you.
Then you have your day in court. You have the chance to defend yourself and present evidence to the contrary.
Impeachment is a chance for bush to clear his name. It is also a chance for us folks to present our case.
I can't think of any more simple way to put it than that.
We see crimes by him, we proceed, if we are wrong he gets to brag about it all and how it was all political, if he is wrong - we get justice.
What the hell are people so afraid of in going down this avenue? What others might think about it? Has that ever stopped a trial before?
If I were a President and people were talking about impeachment I would say 'Bring it on!' and then show you why I was right and hurt your party by showing how partisan you were.
Why are so many afraid of having a trial in our government to bring out the facts?
Is there something scary about facts that people don't want known?
To quote the republican party "If you have nothing to hide...."

how anyone could condone what this administration has done. Does anyone believe that these people will have no power when they leave office, or that they have any allegiance to the United States?

3. "If you have nothing to hide...." ...BINGO |
|
Many Democrats, especially those in Leadership do indeed have something to hide as they have been quite complicit in these goings on..They know without their complicity these things could never have happened in the first place. There is a very good reason Congress has a much, much lower approval rating than the Administration.

4. Screw em all - we need real change |
|
And I hope that happens this next election.
But just because we will get a dem in office does not mean I will turn a blind eye.
Real change is needed. I hope to hell we get it.

5. Yes, real change. And a whole hell of a lot of it. |

These past 8 years have left me very, very, disillusioned about our government, and the Democratic party as a whole. We should have never gotten to the point we're at now. When a nation of over 300 million elects a relative handful of people who sought to lead us we should be able to expect a good deal of courage and integrity. Instead, and with few exceptions, we got a bunch of self-serving cowards. That's why we're broke, the military's broke, hundreds of thousands of hearts are broken, and that's why an unknown number, from tens to hundreds of thousands, of lives have been snuffed out. It's because we don't have leaders, we have self-serving politicians.
I understand that compromise is necessary in politics. I get that. But when lives are at stake there can be no compromise. Either it's worth the certain death of many thousands of people, or it's not. When that much is at stake, leaders have to make up their damn minds and then put everything they've got into doing the right thing. With the exception of the Bush administration itself, I sure didn't see much of that going on, and I don't expect to see much of it now. Too much light will expose too much. They just want to have an election, a new administration, and then everybody can forget about all the recent nastiness. They don't want to talk about what they did in the war.
