"The biggest mistake the Democratic party is making is in thinking the best way to get rid of Bush* is to vote him out of office."

We hear constantly that it is not possible to impeach Bush because the Repukes control Congress. I believe that is bull. Vast public opinion has been the only thing that has backed the Bushies down at any time during W's reign. The Dems could have systematically gone to the court of public opinion with the ample evidence of W's high crimes at numerous times over the past three years, and the public would eventually have called for W's head on a platter.

The Dems have betrayed the American people as much or more than the Repukes (go ahead and flame away, I can take it). It's taken me a long time to realize it, but it's the truth. BOTH parties are corrupt to the core. The system is far more broken than we'd like to admit.

That being said, of course Dems should vote in mass against W this fall and hope for the best. But simply defeating him, if possible given the Diebold factor, will NOT fix what is wrong with American Democracy.
