Reply #42: Code pink should just become code blue (or yellow or green or red) for awhile...

[warren pease]

Clearly, when 54 percent of the recent ARG poll respondents want to impeach cheney and 45 percent want Bush impeached as well, the will of the people isn't being carried out by these corporatized pantywaists.

Their hearings SHOULD be disrupted. It's exactly what they deserve because every time the judiciary committee holds a hearing that's not moving impeachment forward, they're acting as BushCo enablers and most certainly are not doing the peoples' business. And if that's not enough, they're willing accomplices in the great BushCo crime wave and mass murder rampage.

If I were a member of code pink, I'd adjust my wardrobe accordingly and keep fucking with them until they get the goddamn point -- which is that they are our employees, and even though they actually work for their campaign "donors," they occasionally need to show a little respect for the concept of a representative democracy.

I will fear my government just as soon as I stop laughing my ass off at their transparently corrupt self-enrichment schemes, their gross ineptitude and their bottomless hypocrisy as they invoke everything from gawd to color-coded fear-mongering to buy them just a little more time at the levers of power -- just long enough to get their hands on that pool of Iranian oil.

Government is all shuck and jive most of the time, but sometimes circumstances demand that elected representatives at least pretend to care about the future of the republic. It's a lot to ask, especially since I can't afford to buy a congressperson or senator of my own, but somewhere buried deep within those pricey silk blouses and $3K suits, perhaps there's a small part of their humanity left that hasn't yet turned to ashes and dust.
