Start making that bumpersticker right now guys!
You all have great ideas. May as well put them to good use.
You should also start putting up signs that say that.

3. the reason is because we don't want people thinking of Big Dog's |
|
I know lots of cons and mods and lefties and libertarians and I know that when they discuss "Impeachment" they think of the Big Dog. So "visualize impeachment" may be clear to you and me, but we want it perfectly clear that Bush needs impeachment. Afterall, you don't have to convince me that Congress needs to impeach the liar-in-chief. I just want to convince people who haven't thought about it.

Those who claim to be expert in the concept of visualizing stress the idea of forming mental pictures of some goal you want so your subconscious mind gets a clear PICTURE to sink its "teeth" into - the better to be able to manifest what's visualized.
So I would go ahead and be specific - a bush impeachment, and I'd add - removal from office.
Specifics are good. You don't want your mind working on somebody else's impeachment do you? No, not even cheney's. I say - let's go straight to the top and work down from there. Getting a bush impeachment - AND REMOVAL FROM OFFICE - would send such a fright through the religious whacko wrong and neocons - that this is what happens when they push this far with this much avarice. Then, once that's accomplished, we serve notice to the republi-CONS and dick cheney and all those who'll be staggering around, stunned, not knowing what hit 'em, that their brand of fear-mongering, lies, hypocrisy, croneyism, and one-party tyranny will NOT be tolerated. Once we have an impeachment AND REMOVAL FROM OFFICE, we need to cultivate demoralization among the enemy, and KEEP THEM THAT WAY. They were able to rebound after their Goldwater and Nixon humiliations. It'd probably be the best thing we could do for our democracy and the resuscitation of American pride and stature in the world - to do EVERYTHING POSSIBLE to poison the well - make it so completely and thoroughly icky to even consider voting republi-CON that it'll take 'em a generation or two - to recover. After all, the colossally, astoundingly huge amount of damage, serious, long-term damage these "people" have done to this country and its citizens and what used to be its good name throughout the world - will take YEARS to undo. It would be nice to keep the enemy hamstrung and marginalized for awhile, so we can accomplish some of that repair work.

15. I disagree. I like the subversiveness of just "VISUALIZE IMPEACHMENT." |
|
Anyone who'd picture the attempted bloodless coup on Clinton in reference to "impeachment" probably is a hopeless freep. I give the average schmo credit for seeing the context - Bush** has been squatting in the WH for nearly six years now. But then, I'm an ad guy and you're a journalist. Totally different head. Totally.

53. Manhattan dwellers could EASILY get the ball rolling... |

Due to population density and all. ;-)
Picture this:
Leaflets on every pole, under every windshield and in EVERY lobby and mailbox on the block that encourage folks to open their street-facing windows at say, 8:45 p.m. (after the "witching hour" for folks with small kids) on a Sunday or Monday evening (lotsa folks AT HOME those nights). Video cameras on the sidewalks and roofs... At the signal, folks throw open their windows and let loose, "IMPEACH BUSH," confetti, signs, caricature masks, helium balloons and leaflets with the same message printed of them flying EVERYWHERE! 9:00p.m. finito. Clean-up crew needs 30 minutes, brooms and some Hefty bags. Film at 11 ALL OVER THE WORLD!!! Easy! Colourful! No cops with truncheons, no tear gas, no muss, BIG FUSS!!! I can DREAM, can't I??? :silly:

Best advice I ever received from anyone regarding Dem success: "Resist despair." Realism and pragmatism are both fine, but so is thinking positively from time to time, especially when optimism is attractive.

The smallest order you can get is 100 for $25 + $5 s&h. For $30 you can pass 'em out free, or you can sell 'em for 50 cents or a buck each, and make a couple of bucks - to be donated to John Conyers or another appropriate Progressive cause if you wish.
I had the one pictured below made at stickerjunkie.com. I'll be ordering "VISUALIZE IMPEACHMENT" next.

Impeachment is improbable. Bush has not been treasonous according to the Constitutional definition. The United States will never let the "international community" try an American President, no matter what he has done.
This just distracts from 2006.

I like it. I think I'll make one now and slap it on the car. My "God is not spelled GOP" sticker is getting old.
BTW, I think leaving out "Bush" is fine. He's been president for five years now. I don't think there's any doubt about who we're talking about here.
