Reply #34: Passion is a great thing

But "My way or the highway" positions and discussion boards are mutually exclusive things.

I want to see Gonzo, Cheney and Bush impeached, and am angered when I hear our elected people say they have "other priorities" or "not enough time", or "it's not worth it". That's just copping out.

I am equally annoyed, however, at those who are so impatient to get it done that they want our Dems to go about it immediately, without a solid case, or good chance of success. That makes impeachment a partisan exercise, which is what the Repubs did to Clinton in '98. It is important that impeachment of Bush go down in the historical record as the will of the people, as a correction of a great wrong wrought upon us and on the world, and that it set a real precedent for how impeachment can and should be used, rather than following the disastrous precedent set against Clinton.
