And simultaneous removal won’t work either for most people. There are probably as many people who shudder at the thought of a President Pelosi as at Presdient Bush. Better (far, far better!) to deal with a President HRC.

Do you need the president to “validate� your worth?

No. But I do need your snarky comments Dos. Without them, I’m nothing.

Because, in the end, it’s really the last option we have on the table to get him to listen to US.”

The fact that Bush is a Republican has nothing to do with my contempt for him, honestly. Think about it for a minute, we went through impeachment proceedings with Clinton for sexual deviancy and threatened Nixon with impeachment for involvement in unlawful acts. Now take into account what Bush has done. He has invaded a country on false pretexts. We’ve spent hundreds of billions of dollars. A vast amount of those billions have gone to companies which he has direct or indirect ties with (via Cheney.) Polls, depending on which you choose to look at estimate that tens-of-thousands of Iraqi civilians have died in this conflict. The specter of corruption abounds throughout his administration. Bush’s overt political protectionism of felons within his administration that have been found guilty before judicial courts. And last but not least, his usurpation of constitutional law, everything from torturing prisoners to illegal spying on American civilians.

Anyone paying attention at all, or with the slightest sense of political precedence in this country should rightly be asking WHY. Why not impeach this guy? We’ve held impeachment proceedings for far less egregious acts in the past. It’s odd to me, that when impeachment seems it most appropriate, it is least considered. The only explanation I see for this lack of desire or will to press forward the impeachment process is politics. I truly believe that the Democrats want to sustain the current status quo in Iraq, because bad news, which Iraq is, is good news to Democratic presidential aspirations. This to me, is utterly reprehensible and yet, another affirmation in my belief that little separates these two corrupt parties. Republicans wag the flag and commit us to an open ended fiasco and Democrats prolong the bleeding to score political points.
