Reply #19: Doesn't matter. His time is short anyway. And for all we know,

[calimary]

all that thrown at him might make it even shorter. And if bush is seriously disliked, cheney's flat-out HATED.

Furthermore, Lynne, PLEASE keep the following in mind: Psychological warfare.

This is a guy who LOVES operating in the shadows, behind the curtains, under the rocks, moving unseen, until you don't realize you've been bitten until you're bleeding to death. He LOVES being the puppeteer behind the scenes, with some idiot in front of him who's taking all the jabs and attracting all the attention - SO NOBODY SEES WHAT HE, IN THE BACKGROUND, IS UP TO. He's used to working that way. Always has been. It's why, in his long career, he's always willingly been a supporting player, a kingmaker, a power-BEHIND-the-throne. He doesn't like people to see what he's up to, hence all the secrecy surrounding everything he's done. So far, he's been able to hide in the vice presidency, because bush is out there in front, so he can manipulate in secret.

ALL THAT WILL CHANGE when bush is IMPEACHED and REMOVED FROM OFFICE. Suddenly, ol' dick "go fuck yourself" will find himself squarely in the hot seat, where everybody's looking, everybody's criticizing, and by then, the national mood will be one he will NOT want to ride. I, for one, would SERIOUSLY enjoy watching him stumble and stagger under the weight of all that would fall on his shoulders, straight out there, front and center, hounded like hell from every direction, in the open where he CAN'T slither away so easily. It's where he would MOST hate to be. So it's more than okay by me if he winds up there. It'd be a Maalox moment he'd probably have to suffer for the rest of his miserable life.

That, all by itself, is reason enough for ME to push for IMPEACHMENT for bush, let along all the other highly credible and reasonable and proper reasons for doing so.

The alternative is - 2 more years of this same gawdawful shit? Do you think our country could stand it? Do you think the poor could stand it? Do you think our Constitution could stand it? Do you think our economy could stand it? Do you think the WORLD (AND our standing IN that world) could stand it?

It's just absolutely critical.

PRIORITY ONE.

Frankly, WHETHER OR NOT we get the House and Senate back.

I'm just simply not giving up.
