Dem Police see robbers in a bank what do they do?
Edited on Tue Jul-24-07 01:48 PM by Botany
1) "well they already have most of the money .... might as well let 'em go.
After all the shift change is in 2 hours."

2) "It might be dangerous to stop them .... besides those crooks will never
try to rob that same bank again."

3) "So they have pistol whipped and shot some of the people inside .... man
they are so not going to be invited to the policeman's picnic."

4) "I am going to put a note on the window of their get away car saying they have been
naughty."

5) "If only we had proof of what they are doing is really bad ..... but I would hate to
make them mad @ me."

Enough already. It is not the House's job to triangulate length of term left and the upcoming
elections if they should proceed w/ impeachment hearings. We can not let bush and Cheney "walk
away" from their crime spree without standing up to them. George H.W. Bush and the media let
the crooks from Iran Contra walk and damned if some of those bastards did not show back up
as the neo con "hench men" for W's reign of terror. Remember Iran Contra? Selling weapons to the
Ayatollah and hiding the money in Swiss Bank Accounts and then using that money to run an illegal
war in Central America among other things. Will this administration and others get a free pass on their
crimes too?

This country had a coup in 2000 when the true winner of the Presidency was stopped from taking
his constitutionally guaranteed place as President and a front man for a crime syndicate run by
Dick Cheney was placed into the White House. And this same group of thugs rigged 2004 & the media
to maintain control in 2004. If anybody thinks that this group will go quietly they are sadly mistaken.

Censure and contempt are good starts and should not be disregarded but we need to move on impeachment
even though the repugs will most likely block removal in the Senate. Let them defend the indefensible
and try to run in 2008 .... even in the reddest states lying us into an unneeded war and letting bin Laden
get away are lethal @ the voting both to anybody associated w/ bush.

And for any Congress critter needs it; Handily little list of charges.

count one: Lying to get us into a war, the failure to listen to real military
planners, and continual lying about the war to the public and Congress

count two: Violation of the 4th Amendment of the Constitution with
the Domestic Spying .... need a warrant & probable cause

count three: The outing of Val Plame aka Treason

count four: The use of federal monies to "buy news & reporters

count five: The use of the Dept of Justice to manipulate elections
and to punish political enemies (seems like there is a U.S. attorney
involved every time an election problem comes to light now ... caging lists
of voters violation of the 1964 Civil Rights Act .... Monica Goodling gave
us that one under oath)

count six: Cheney's energy task force and manipulation of supply and price
of electricity to cause the removal of a sitting Governor of California

" .... even though the repugs will most likely block removal in the Senate ...."

Make the repugs defend the indefensible .... impeachment by the house will
shine a bright light on the crimes and actions of this Admin. .... any vote
to block removal in the senate by a repug will be a millstone around their
necks.

9. Unfortunately the majestrate is a member of their gang.
On top of which the public doesn't recognize the robbers as criminals.

Those Dems have an uphill battle, and they're working toward a means by which they can corner the criminals.

I have used the bank robbery comparison in my own head for a long time. I'll spare my version. But it's much like the real life Bush version. Stacked courts, slanted media, vast sums of money for payoffs, threats, and smart and dirty tricks to foil and fool people into not realizing what is happening.

10. Too true
But does that mean not to try?



We have the case & the evidence against bush & Cheney we need people who are going to be
willing to fight for what is right.

In the 50s & 60s the population of the south, the courts in the south, and law enforcement in
the south was stacked against civil rights for blacks so were the people who marched and
worked to change things wrong?

I am scared for my country to be honest and I really feel that a coup occured in 2000
with Gore not getting what he won. I really think now is the time to make a stand.
78% of the Country now thinks bush is pig headed on Iraq and we need to change course ...
and short of impeachment I don't see bush changing course.

11. I think it's a very slow process.
When you have bought and sold real estate, you understand waiting. Just the loan process can be infuriating. Then there is the waiting game of selling. How to make it marketable.

I can't believe this has gone on this long. I still can't believe Bush even got remotely close enough to get in in 2000. Unbelievable for people with brains.

And it's not just a Congress of Dems. We have active opponents. I think winning hearts and minds, to use a phrase I now detest, is more important than ever.

I also believe that there are far more intelligent Americans than first appears. Lots of silent people. I am not worried.

But there is one thing I would like a clear answer to. Why is impeachment off the table? We can guess, but we really ought to know. Is the silence on that so that the Repubs won't hear our strategy? I don't know.

My friends have been saying Bush wouldn't last through his second "term", since 2002. That was before the war. Before the stolen election. I didn't' think he'd get in, but people I know thought so. There are bright people out there. But I don't know how Congress works, on the inside. John Dean is about my best source for figuring out where this is all going.

I don't know. I'm not much help. And I may be wrong. And it's more than impeachment. It's people dying in Iraq. That to me is the bottom line.

12. Thank you for really reading my post ....
.... and for your thoughts too.

To me it seems a straight forward question; When will our side make a stand for the rule of
law over the rule by Cheney and Presidential Fatwa? F***ing signing statements???? Come on
these guys have used the Constittution as a piece of toliet paper. Because we do it is legal?
Karl Rove was using U.S. Attorneys as button men for the Bush Crime Family ..... Time to
look the bastards in the eye and take the shot. God knows they would do it in a heartbeat
if the shoe was on the other foot.
