Scandal after scandal heaped on top of more scandal and we still do not have the courage to impeach?
At this point, anyone who is terrified of the impeachment process (unless you are IN the Bush Administration) should just admit you are not willing to fight for our democracy, and that includes Nancy Pelosi.
What’s the meme this week? We don’t have enough votes? Big deal. I say we have the US House go through the evidence process (and NO, Gonzales ain’t what I am talking about) and present the laundry list of BushCo’s “high crimes and misdemeanors.” Plus, hold those hearings during Prime Time and have Nancy do her job and oversee the proceedings. Let the Republicans spend all their time supporting Bush and defending his crimes. Let it go on for hours and hours. Let is stretch on into week. Hell, start this during the “recess,” they got nothing else to do.
Let the process continue just to remind everyone what all we have lost, where our money went, how it was really stolen.
Then vote.
Do you not prosecute a murderer just because he has a great lawyer? No, even though you might lose, you still prosecute the case. You do the right thing.
And if we lose, we lose, but we will have tried Bush in Congress and in the Court of Public Opinion. Now let the GOP try to distance themselves from Bush for the 2008 elections. They will have publicly forgiven and sitting President of treason, war crimes and fraud just for their political gain.
With Bush’s 25% approval rating, you can’t go wrong… unless you are French. 😉
