Heard the "Impeachment" Word Used Today----ahh, sweet music
Was literally glued to the television set---watching the British Open and decided to do a quick check of the news this morning. Chris Jensen of MSNBC was asking Sen. Bob Graham if Bush should be impeached.........the remote froze in my hand.

Graham said that DeLay and his crowd will never do anything to Bush and, therefore, said that the American people will have to decide in '04 whether Bush should be thrown out....i.e., an impeachment by the people, so to speak. He then went further and said that this pattern of lies and manipulation of intelligence goes all the way back to the beginning of this administration. He targeted for his example the "energy" meetings of Cheney where he said already Iraq was being discussed, pollution standards attacked, etc. by a group who met in secret and that this clandestine manipulating of our government, information and intelligence has gone on all throughout this administration.

I shouted with joy!!! I've said for days that it is time to pile on and Graham did by starting to bring up all the floatsome from the past with this administration. NOW, it's the time for Dems to bring up the holding back of 9/11 info requested by committee and the Regan papers. Time magazine reported last December that the 9/11 papers were being withheld because of "embarrassment" to Bush (his lawyers going over the material); and they reported a year ago that the Regan papers were being withheld because of embarrassment to Papa Bush..........in a word: What the Fuck--is this government beholding to the filthy schemes and cover ups of the Bush crime family?? It's time for Dems to pound on their dirty secrets (and maybe they can thrown in Mel Carnahan, Paul Wellstone, Sen. Heinz and the scientist in Britain who was after Blair and his WMD lies who was found dead today. Time to plant the seeds that we are dealing with organized crime who are using our tax money, military, et al to further the desires of some wealthy barrons.

2. Just as important if not more so ....
John Dean today called for a Special Prosecutor and tore down every one of *'s WMD arguments in the SOTL speech. Dean is the absolute authority on impeachable offenses due to his Watergate testimony which revealed everything there was to know about Nixon's crimes.

3. Bob Graham is a formidable enemy for these thugs. They know it.
I sincerely hope that WE THE PEOPLE of America will get behind Senator Graham with our whole hearts, minds and hands. He is our BEST HOPE to stop this merciless stampede down the road to tyranny.

4. Here's how I look at Graham
No, Graham won't get the nomination; but as many have pointed out, he will very likely be the VP nominee. Therefore, I think Graham's place in all this right now is to be the attack dog and outright call Bush names. Or do as he did today where he is telling us that the Delay's will protect Bush but that the patterns of manipulating intelligence info and lying to the American people go back to the beginning of this administration and naming those things one after another. He would be the great one to bring forth one by one the cover-ups and the issues that have been swept under the rug by a whoring media. And then, maybe some overzealous Dem operatives (you know, like the DeLay operatives that punched at vote counters in Florida, etc.) could start bringing up the personal lies: AWOL, abortion, drinking, drugs..............

5. Graham is throwing open the floodgates.
He is articulating in no uncertain terms what this administration is about. What's different now is that the media are finally beginning to notice. I really believe that so many good people in this country are locked in a silent rage at what they see and hear, yet are too intimidated to speak out.

When Americans hear fighting words like these from Senator Graham and all the other candidates and elected officials, it will unite all of us in a way that will be unprecedented.

It's a full court press now, folks!
