I was just wishing there was a way to "recall" Bush
for the previous presidential election just like the Californians recalled Governor Gray Davis. Are censure and impeachment our only options? For those unlikely options, We The People are not in the driver's seat and we don't get a voice or vote, but instead have only the option to hope and to pray and to plead and cajole our un-oppositional party to show some spine.

There is a federal election coming up in November. Man, oh Man, I would never work so hard in my life as on a "National Bush Recall Referendum".

That's all. Just sittin' here a-wishin' for a Do-Over.


If wishes were horses, then beggars would ride.

1. Impeachment will not remove him from office. After that, he must
be tried and convicted.

2. Right. I knew that.

I am just feeling blue today, and grasping at straws. I do feel that if we had a Congress angered enough to actually impeach (as if!) then the evidence would be so overwhelming that conviction would be inevitable. Like that will happen (we'd need to control the House and Senate for that, with all new go-get-em Dems in those seats.) If I had my druthers, I'd almost rather he face an international criminal court than an impeachment trial in the US Senate.

3. Yep, them's the breaks. But keep punching — the tide is turning!
I keep hoping for the Nixon ending.

4. Well if the the * cabal continues following their pattern..
they have turned on the media and are blaming them for the results of the war...

they will turn on their own Republican Congress and Senate members more and more...

they are very predictable in this way....

they are trying to fight on too many fronts and the new cracks are appearing more and more everyday...

The polls are an indication that something is happening...
He could still face the international court....The impeachment trial would uncover and display all of the US laws that they broke....

Here's a hug bug....:grouphug:

6. Why not? The headline:
April 4th, 2006
BREAKING:
In a stunning development, 30 minutes ago 1,000,000 citizens stormed over the barriers around the White House wearing Guy Fawkes masks. The first one through the doors, a 40-year-old woman only identified as Turn CO Blue, held the President's hands while informing those near to her that she was making a citizen's arrest. Another Guy Fawkes mask-wearer, known as lwesty, read the Miranda Rights to the president. Some jurior aides to the president were heard to emit loud sighs of relief, while some senior members ran away shouting and others collapsed sobbing the words "blame game" and "bring it on" incoherently from where they stood.

7. hey, you had me excited
there for a minute and was scanning for a link (based on the first few words I read)when I saw "lwesty". I then had to go back and read it in the right mind-set. I guess I am SO waiting for the excrement to hit the fan! Lol, thanks for the chuckle.
