Reply #123: hate is the cold we have caught -- "impeach!" has become our gesundheit

[nashville_brook]

the more this maladministration is allowed to continue, the less control we feel and the more we hate those things that keep us locked in this death spiral.

Skinner, i don't agree with your stance on impeachment (that we don't want to tit-for-tat with impeachment), but i DO agree with your pragmatism. we need real change and real solutions, not more theater. i've come to the conclusion that the only way to get to "real change" is to use impeachment proceedings -- it's just THAT bad.

"impeach" has become the gesundheit for every bush sneeze and THAT isn't productive either. bush is contemptible. i too turn away from from smirking mug because the only emotion it conjures is paralyzing hate. his condescension and the media's complicity is TOO MUCH TO TAKE on most days.

i think we all have the feeling that we've been stuck in a nightmare since 2000 and all it's going to take is one last episode of freefall and we'll wake and it will all be over -- or maybe we think we'll be able to slay the monster by calling it by its name (as Olbermann does in his special comments), but that doesn't stop the madness either. we're losing are fracking minds with all the "crazy-making" shit we deal with every single day (if we're participating here).

pragmatically, we need to stop bush/cheney before things get worse (and they can always get worse). impeachment is our only recourse right now. emotionally, we need a channel for all this negative energy. we already see the cleansing joy that comes from investigating the bastards.

when the FISA bill went down the shittubes all our negative energy metastasized as hate. it's been a long time coming. our hate isn't misplaced -- we've come it honestly. we can't to stop hating until things get better or we stop paying attention.

all the "bye DU" threads are the result of people throwing in the towel. we're tired. we need to see some change and we need it yesterday.
