A stirring pro-impeachment polemic

[dorkulon]

Hotly emotional, coldly logical. It's half a year old, but still on point--more than ever:

Crush, Kill, Destroy: Screw bipartisanship; it’s time for revenge.

Bush needs to be impeached because Bush worshippers just plain deserve it. It was they that were giddy with self-righteous rage, so desperate to take Clinton down that they didn’t care how pathetic their excuse was. They need to be paid back, and to know they asked for it. They need to be demoralized and dismissed before they take the government back and damage it further. They need, after all, to know their reign was a colossal failure, a blight on the record. They need to know that now and forever, George W. Bush will be to presidents what OJ Simpson is to all-star running backs. These people understand things in terms of winning and losing, and they need to know that, in the end, they lost.

Bush needs to be impeached because the only language these people understand is power. Their hearts will not be touched by forgiveness. Any mercy is a sign of weakness to them. If you want to earn a thug’s respect, you’ve got to kick his ass up and down the block. No negotiation. No compromise. Slash and burn. Teach these assholes a lesson. Leave them broken and gasping in a puddle of their own urine. Don’t ever let them forget the humiliation and the shame of it.

But beyond revenge and humiliation—the reasons that Republicans will actually understand—Bush needs to be impeached because he is a criminal of the highest order, and because tolerating criminals at the seat of power is itself a crime against the nation. The core problem in Washington today is not the president’s lack of respect for the law; it’s that congress has done nothing about it. The first step toward restoring a reasonable government is correcting that.

1. I'm not for it for revenge.

I'm for it to preserve our system of laws.

3. Me too, but revenge can be sweet,

I think the point is that the GOP needs to know we're not wimps who won't fight back. Otherwise, what's to stop them doing it again?

4. I'm in to avenge

A lot of good people -- American and Iraqi -- are dead or seriously maimed because of this bastard. I support impeachment to avenge their loss and the grief of their families.

2. OJ is responsible for 2 deaths, bush for 1,000,000 or more.

Oj played ball, bush was a cheerleader. Similarity: OJ is guilty but skated, like bush.

5. Maybe W can publish "If I Invaded It" ;-)
