Liberals at Democrats.com are gunning for Bush and Cheney's hide. They've got a 10-point petition circulating around the Internet, demanding impeachment. Doc Farmer presents you with an expanded point-by-point rebuttal of the arguments being spewed on that website, in the hopes that you will not be fooled by the site's glitzy digital pizzazz, its faux-patriotic designs, or its high-fallutin' words.

It was just another Manic Monday when I was going through my voluminous e-Mail. No, it's not filled with fan mail from some flounder, but it is chock-full of information. I subscribe to several e-Mail news groups (most of them of the Yahoo! variety) and I came across a missive from someone with the title, "this is going around the net."

1. Oy what sound reasoning

Those wussified wimpy little lib/dem/soc/commies don't want to face the ugly fact that to get information that saves their miserable hide, you have to use techniques that go beyond tea and crumpets.

So we're both wussified and wimpy? Don't those words mean the same thing? And I don't think the author has considered the potential pain involved in a well placed crumpet.

3. I think he is suggesting we should get off on gratuitous pain and suffering, too.

Sorry, I swore off taking advice from sadists a long time ago.

4. I did have to challenge him to a fight for that comment

You know, Al Franken-Rich Lowry style. Of course, I doubt he'd have the guts to do it. Plus, he'd lose, nobody wants to be humiliated like that.

5. The author of that statement is a coward, who'd sell his soul to save his skin.

He's basically saying America is not worth dying for, even if it was that bad, which this situation isn't.

Tell that to the hundreds of thousands of people who've died for this country. They died so that everyone would be presumed innocent until proven guilty. They died so that we wouldn't have to live in a world without warrants or the right to a fair and speedy trial. Those things are America, those men died to protect those things.

Sick twisted little nazi.

2. that ignorance is not worth the bandwidth

More stupid freep posing as informed, its not even remotely intelligent.

6. Every day that our Reps do nothing they demonstrate their contempt for us

Incontrovertible charges that constitute High Crimes against our Constitution are already proven by the public record. We don't need "more information." We don't need investigations.

1. Bush and Cheney did not simply "lie" the nation into war -- they terrorized us with threats of "Mushroom Clouds over our cities in 45 minutes."
   
   Whether or not the White House "knew" that the "16 words" were a fantasy, no amount of "stretching" can support the notion that Iraq had the capability to drop a nuclear bomb anywhere within the United States -- not in 45 minutes; not in a year; not in 5 years.
   
   When Bush and Cheney and their minions threatened the nation with "mushroom clouds over our cities in 45 minutes" they knew they were making the most colossal bomb threat in our history.



2. Bush's criminal surveillance of Americans without warrants continues. The unconstitutional claim that they have a "get out of jail" free card ("unitary authoritarian power") is laughable, and they know it. If they actually believed their own claims they would not currently be mounting a final, desperate push to "make it legal."



3. When the Supreme Court concluded that the operations and procedures ordered by the White House and implemented at Gitmo violated Geneva, they found Bush, Cheney, and those who colluded in the violations to be War Criminals.

These charges, and others, are well known to the public. Elected bodies, good government organizations, and countless individual citizens have examined the evidence and judged Bush and Cheney to be an intolerable threat to our constitutional democracy.

The charges against Bush and Cheney are hanging out there. They are not going to magically "disappear." Democratic control of Congress can not defend against the Bush administration's continued abuse of power.

Members of Congress cannot escape their duty to judge the charges. Their oath to "support and defend" demands that they either dismiss the charges of subversion and abuse as baseless or take defensive action by introducing articles of impeachment.

The limbo of "I don't know" cannot be tolerated. Vague claims to "need more information" are no better than the limbo of "I don't know." If they believe they need something more to make a judgment, they must actively seek it. If they are unable to get what they need, they must render judgment on the information at hand. Every day that their judgment hangs in the balance could be another day of unchallenged attack.

Every day that they do nothing they are demonstrating contempt for the concerned citizens who are calling on them to act. The citizens who are taking up the fight for impeachment are a very active bunch who will not quietly accept the dismissive contempt of their elected officials for long.

Every day that they do nothing effectively exonerates Bush and Cheney. If exoneration is their intent, then they should do it honestly by telling the nation why the abuses that a majority of Americans can see are not abuses in their eyes.

7. The funny thing about the "rebuttal" is that they are refuting anything,

but are instead making excuses.

They can't even expose these as actual lies.

All they can do is say, "yeah, he did it, but that's ok because this is a war."
