What are the ramifications of just impeaching Cheney?

1. The idiot in chief who only takes advice from a god that wants the

* to bring democracy (and US oil companies) to the entire Middle East, permanently destroy the old Soviet Union, and stop China from sending us stuff. The idiot in chief is insane. I would guess they all are. Insane people should not have button to nuclear arms. Or be commander and chief of the military.

2. You're going after the wrong person

The people you want never ran for office.

The people you want run the mighty empires of the business world, and they hold no allegiance to the American people but to the corporate bottom line. They are the ones who financed pro-corporate candidates in presidential races as well as congressional races. They are behind the assault on working class America, and they aim to destroy the working class and subjugate them once more under the boot of corporate power.

They are behind NAFTA/CAFTA/"free-trade." They are behind not raising the minimum wage. They are behind the recent assault on Social Security. They are the ones who attack and destroy worker unions. They are the ones who run the news media and push the propaganda. They are the ones who helped turn our education system into a system that simply turns out obedient, ignorant workers, not thoughtful citizens. They are the ones who pollute the wilderness, and they are the ones who make money off of war. They profit off of government contracts worth billions to build war machines, while your kids are getting chewed up on the battlefield.

These corporatists are living "la vita dolce," the sweet life.

3. He gets hired by the American Enterprise Institute...

...or some other conservative think tank, and is still telling Bush* what to do every day, just over the phone now. And getting paid more.

4. I have thought of that too...

... it would be harder to defend him than Bush... no bullshit about attacking the Commander in time of war and crap like that...

5. my thinking, exactly...

6. Ramifications are it's your imagination.

Cheney is if anything more powerful than Bush and way smarter. There is no possibility that he's left open loopholes for anyone to get traction on this, if only because he's also guiltier than Bush. His Halliburton is an evil piece of shit with a steel fist on the puppet strings of a hundred other things. Best thing for all of us is for Cheney to get his final coronary before the rest of the infrastructure is put in -- if not too late right now.
