Reply #11: It's too late to worry about having the god damned votes...

[warren pease]

Keep in mind that this administration has never been called out on TV (which remains the sole or primary source of "news" for 92 percent of Americans) for its corruption, criminality, cronyism, chronically unconstitutional policies and confirmed cases of high treason.

I have a feeling that if the American people were actually allowed to hear even a partial list of the outrages perpetrated in their names and with their tax dollars, the votes to convict would miraculously show up in the form of ass-chewed Senators whose constituents have told them to vote for conviction or look for another job next election. And impeachment, even if ultimately unsuccessful, addresses three key issues that won't be dealt with any other way:


Slowing down the BushCo domestic and foreign policy agendas, which may well include imposing martial law and nuking Iran.

Providing accountability for unprecedented criminality, hopefully complete with life sentences at Abu Ghraib.

Sending a message to the Future Fascists of America club that we don't tolerate dictators.


These are serious issues and need to be addressed. And since nobody's showing up at the white house with a paddy wagon, impeachment seems to be the next best thing.

Ms. Nancy, uncle Harry -- who will rid us of these beasts? Unfortunately for you, your job descriptions set you both aside from all the rest of the unqualified, indecisive and cowardly people who routinely bow down to power. Fate has dumped the task into your laps and you can either try to do the best job you can, or get the hell out of the way so others with a bit more fire and outrage can do it for you.

Given your histories, we'll be accepting your resignations by phone from 10 to 6 all weekend, and during normal business hours next Monday through Friday.
