So Maybe I Was Wrong About Impeachment

Time concerns me, about impeachment. This White House will fight for every shred of paper, all the way into the collective lap of the Supremes.

Nevertheless, that does not let the people off the hook, nor does it let Congress off the hook. There must be accountability for the members of this administration. We are talking prison time.

It cannot matter to the people of this country whether or not impeachment is politically feasible. We must call for it. Where is it written that the president and vice-president cannot both be impeached, at the same time, for conspiracy to commit all the crimes we know they have committed? Hell, start with Vice!

Number 1: Banana Republics never bothered with impeachment. They just shot up the palace, or whatever. We were closer to being a Banana Republic during the dark years of assassinations, in the 1960s.

Number 2: There is enough evidence in the pubic domain to conclude that Junior and Vice have never been elected to national office. We didn't re-elect them in 2004. We didn't elect them in 2000. They are an illegitimate regime from day one and we are witnessing an on-going coup. Had they not invaded Iraq, more people would be aware of that fact.

Don't worry so much about a President Cheney. He cannot function in the light and even he knows it.

Criminals need to be dealt with. We must have the courage to do so, now!

I have only one major concern, regarding impeachment. With Congress there can always be deals made. I do not want any deals. Not this time.

So Maybe I Was Wrong - CommonDreams.org - Breaking News & Views for the Progressive Community:

I have been steadfastly against trying to impeach George W. Bush, even though he is clearly the worst president in the modern history of America.

These were my main reasons for feeling that way:

1) Politically, I saw impeachment as absolutely impossible to bring off.

2) As bad as Bush is, I don’t want to see America turn into some kind of parody banana republic, in which the opposition party tries to impeach every president.

3) America knew what the Shrub was selling, and re-elected him, so we got what we deserve.

Plus, I felt that any effort to impeach the rascal would divert attention from the very real agenda of trying to stop his criminal war. And finally, what if you did manage to remove him? You’d get the puppet master himself, the sneering Darth Cheney, widely regarded to be the brains of the current Reich. Not only that, he would be eligible to run for re-election, and given the Democrats’ penchant for political suicide, that’s a risk I don’t think anyone wants.

Yet I am beginning to think I was wrong.
