When will "The Revolution start" & when will Bush be thrown out?
Edited on Thu Apr-21-05 03:00 PM by Chicago1
I have a feeling it will be in the next several weeks. Howard Dean said on Sat Feb 12, 2005 that "it will be addressed in the spring". What does everyone else think about this? When do you think it will start?

5. My posting said Sat Feb 12, 2005
He said that the election issues "will be addressed in the spring". He then made the face that communicated (obviously without saying the words) "Bush is getting thrown out and HE'S BUSTED ABOUT THE F***D."

7. Oh, heavy sigh...
You actually think Bush is going to be removed from office? Look, optimism is one thing, but don't be optimistic at the expense of realism.
Bush is going nowhere. In 2008, the GOP will put up a candidate that will continue his policies. And so it goes.
What makes you think anything would be different?

I think a lot of us here at DU (myself included) spend so much time with our liberal friends that we forget what the rest of the country looks like.

8. Way tooooo much evidence for there NOT to be an impeachment & prosecution
I couldn't disagree with you more. There's ALOT of evidence for Impeachment so I think it's only a matter of time.

9. It will never happen.
In case you forgot, the Republicans control the House, and they aren't going to lose it in 2006. So even if we win the Senate, there will be no impeachment. But suppose there is. Also suppose, since we're in the land of Oz here anyway, that we did take back the Senate. Do we have the necessary 2/3 majority. that's way, way over the rainbow to even think it.

The evidence simply isn't strong enough. but if it were, the Republicans have learned a few lessons about sticking together from the Dems here lately, haven't they?

There will be no impeachment, no criminal trials, no war crimes tribunals. We may or may not win the next election. Not if we run Ms Rodham, or Mrs Clinton, or whatever she calls herself in those days, however.

10. It's so hard to have to agree with your post...
Edited on Thu Apr-21-05 08:37 PM by BlueIris
...with that cheap shot at Hillary in it, (I don't want her to run either, 'cause she can't win--but it's Senator Clinton now, kids) but I do have to. At this point, because the FRAUD indictments would have to include SO. MANY. PEOPLE. (Bush & Co. set up all their crimes that way) for so many disgusting things which have already been documented...I don't see it happening. My pessimistic prognosis is roughly: if it hasn't happened yet, it's not gonna.

15. You're wrong about one thing....
The republican party is falling apart, there is a huge number in the house opposing the fundies in the GOP.

Voinovich is now branching out even....He used to be with the dominionist cult one hundred percent.

If enough defections happen, there will be full impeachment. And held before a grand jury also because it doesn't matter who is the minority party.

It matters who cares for democracy, or freedom.

16. Well, perhaps you are right, but
I personally think you are living in a dream world. The Democrats should only be falling apart like the Republicans currently are.

28. The only reason they aren't.....
......Is because they aren't the party making decisions that makes the whole thing look like lunatics.

The republicans are, because the cult is totally out of control and the fundie GOP are making their party into a disgrace.

18. Repukes are "working hard" to lose Congress
Tom DeLay is being especially helpful to our cause, and they have also handed us the gifts of the bankruptcy, energy, "clear skies", "leave no child behind" and "healthy forests" actions. These things are all excellent campaign material. Not to mention Terry Schiavo and the war! The polls are heavily against them on most of their pet issues, and all we need to do is capitalize.

19. "All we need to do
is to capitalize". Something that our leadership has proven to be particularly inept at.

21. What has happened to our 'leaders'?
It looks to me as if the pukes have dug up dirt on all of them, or are threatening to kill their families or something.

25. It's worse than that.
They believe in nothing, and it shows. It's how Kerry got tarred with the "flip-flopper' meme. He would never take a stand.

23. Something I'm wondering
Something I'm wondering is how many votes does it take from republicans along with the democrats to have this issue go to the Senate? Maybe there can be some pressure if it happens?

26. The House
Edited on Fri Apr-22-05 01:24 PM by forgethell
will have to start impeachment proceedings. Then it takes 2/3 of the Senate to convict, 67 Senators. Don't hold you breath.

29. Dumb Dumb will be FORCED to resign.
Your comments are very negative.

Stupid WILL NOT be able to stay in office. It may takes 2/3rds of the Senate (and don't rule out that there will be ALOT of turncoats)to IMPEACH but I think this is a situation where the CRIMINAL COURTS will HAVE to step in because of the CRIMINAL EVIDENCE and he's NOT going to be able to withstand this scandal.

11. When the sound becomes so deafening that....
All the people responsible can no longer bear it.

When Senator Frist goes down in public ridicule for trying to bring about the nucleur option, and turn us into a dictatorship.

When the members of this cult go down in history, publically exposed before the whole world. http://www.yuricareport.com

Like I said....when the sound becomes deafening.

17. Yes, Dean said "in the spring"
If you find the tape (Saturday Feb 12, 2005) MAYBE on C-Span (if they haven't already buried it in the Pacific Ocean) he said "the election issue will be addressed in the spring". Which could mean anytime between now and mid to late June.

I found the video online and I'm going to watch it. Here's the result page. It was the winter spring meeting when he became chairman.

31. I watched through it yesterday
but I didn't hear anything about the spring. Only thing I heard dealing with the spring is he wants to keep the same group of people working on the election reform group with the dnc so he can work with them and everything. :shrug:

27. I'll believe it when it happens...
...BUT...Dr. Dean and JFK II could be a formidable team should they decide to work together on this.

...I doubt the dry drunk and his band of boobs will get tossed out though, too much insulation. Electoral fraud was perpetrated but I doubt seriously if the White House initiated it. Remember the phrase "Plausible Deniablity". It still applies
