If Dems win Congress, Bush and Co. MUST BE IMPEACHED!

[Cascadian]

It's a call to arms. Should the Democrats gain victory, I call for ALL Democrat lawmakers new or not to begin proceedings to impeach Bush and his criminal gang from office as soon as they are sworn in. Everybody knows they have broken nearly every law of the land and the world. If it were up to me, I would have the whole bunch of them impeached and sent on a plane to The Hague for war crimes, but that's just me. Impeaching will do for now. I urge each and everyone you (me included!) to contact their lawmakers or as many lawmakers as they can reach and call for impeachment. The Democrats should have the numbers in their victory to make it possible.

What does everybody think?

[ashling]

[flowomo]

3. ain't gonna happen....

[Cascadian]

13. Can't govern with just 1-2 branches and a white house trying to "get revenge on America"

[RestoreGore]

18. It's not revenge, it's JUSTICE

And it is also in the Constitution, and our duty as Americans first. "Crimes and misdemeanors" doesn't even begin to describe what these people have done at the expense of this country 's dignity and soul. It's amazing to me how these people can get away with lying us into a war that killed thousands of innocent people and continues to every day, violate our system of checks and balances, steal elections, torture, spy on Americans, and basically trash our Constitution, and people are too chicken to stand up for their own damned Constitution. I don't then want to hear anything from Democrats about election fraud in this election...I say, if you are willing to keep these murdering lying crooks in power and look the other way concerning their abuse of power, you deserve what you get. And trying to guilt people who want to stand by that Constitution and do the right thing because they are Americans first by saying it is revenge is a Republican line. As Al Gore stated at the University of Minnesota today, "Congress has not done it's job." A BIG AMEN to that one.

19. I'm talking about the Bush whitehouse trying to "get revenge on America" for trying to take back the

country after an overwhelming majority shows these jerkoffs that even conservatives have their limits. (and by that I mean how the true conservatives are abandoning the Republican party in droves)

4. Why does everyone forget

that impeachment isn't the be all/end all solution. It's getting an indictment AFTER impeaching the bastards.

[eyesroll]

6. You don't get "impeached from office."

You get impeached. You get tried and conviction. You are removed from office. Impeachment and removal are two different parts of the equasion -- similar to indictment and sentencing (with a trial and conviction in the middle).

Point is...House votes to impeach. Senate does the trial. Conviction takes a two-thirds majority. Ain't gonna happen. If on the off chance the Dems get the Senate back, it'll be by one or two seats. (And that's assuming everyone votes along party lines, which doesn't always happen. Senators SHOULDN'T vote along party lines, but along the lines of whether the evidence proves the wrongdoing, which also doesn't always happen.)

[tcfrogs]

11. Good point, eyesroll

Just made the same point above, but not the detail you provided. :hi:

[AussieDave]

7. Nice thought, but no

Impeachment is what the rabid RW'ers expect - he could be impeached but never convicted.

Instead, have hearing after hearing to lay everything out. I'd suspect it would take longer than two years to do - better to see what can be done to him after he leaves office.

His legacy can be effectively trashed in the meantime.

[Cascadian]

8. There might not be a country left after two more years. n/t

[AussieDave]

9. There will - the country is more resilient than you may think

It just has to be gently woken from a six-year national nightmare - next Tuesday will be the first step.

[reichstag911]

14. Once those subpoenas start flying, though,...

...and more and more of the Repuke malfeasance comes to light, there could be many resignations, opening up seats to more moderate, less ideological senators who hope to prolong their own political careers, rather than ride the Bush coattails into oblivion. Ya never know...

[Lost-in-FL]

10. First, get the troops home to their families

then im-peach the motherFr.

[rubberducky]

12. I think that John Conyers is

counting the days!! I can`t wait to see thier lying asses under oath.

[Rosco T.]

15. T would rather see two years of investigations to ...

.. exposed EVERY STINKING CRIMINAL ACT.. and then on Jan 20th, let BushCo walk into the waiting arms of officials from the Hague.

[BrotherBuzz]

16. I say we start with the INVESTIGATION first....

and see where it leads. You know what I mean, Vern?

[Horse with no Name]

17. Let's have some investigations first

and *if* there are impeachable offenses, Congress will be compelled to do their sworn duty.
But impeachment talk right now is like smoking a cigarette BEFORE sex--a little premature.
