ENOUGH with the impeachment talk-you people aren't seeing the bigger picture
Sure we all want to see bush go down, but the fact of the matter is we're not reactionaries we're thinkers-and thinkers can do a hell of alot more damage than just rushing out and swingly blindly.

I'll say it again: Fixing the country comes first-but in the background we work on getting INDICTMENTS

We should be calling for INDICTMENTS.

Impeachment does nothing but let the boy idiot be a martyr for the neo-con cause-the evil liberals kicked him off his stool.

But watch what happens when we prove that not only have we worked to fix the country and for America's benefit at the same time we dug deep, fought it out, and instead of the boy king going out before a cheering crowd he's going out in an orange jumpsuit and a mass of shameful crimes following closely behind.

Humiliation, defeat, destruction-Impeachment will bring us none of those things. Indictments and a carefully crafted attack on the crimes of the bush crime family as well as his PNAC cohorts ensures these bastards never resurface.

3. Stacked courts and BFEE's crime lawyers mean they will never be indicted
I believe we can do the people's business, do investigations, run an impeachment AND (try to) get indictments when this Admin leaves. I highly doubt though that this crew will ever face criminal charges in this country. It's the Hague or nothing (and the Hague is also a huge longshot with so many obstacles in the way, it's another pipe dream). Impeachment is the best remedy for justice for this pack imho.

And frankly, I want it all - fair legislation, investigations, impeachment and indictments. I believe we must try to do it all. It's imperative for our country's constitutional survival - that is the biggest picture.

4. Two words: Presidential Pardons.
An unchecked power. Only cases of impeachment cannot be pardoned.

5. Throw the bums out!
