With Webb's SOTU and Hagel's call for sanity, did the possibility of impeachment just become real? |
|
The tide has turned big time and there are a lot of people who are up for reelection in a couple of years. These people heard our voice and it seems that many want to court us in the 08' elections.
If you (Senator or Congressperson)are reading this and you help put this administration behind bars, you will have my respect and most likely my vote.
At the very least, I hope this help put the stops and checks back on the Executive Office and brings our people home.

Nixon was done in by his own party, and Bush will also. He's a decaying albatross around their necks.

If the Libby trial takes down Cheney(and it just may...), a lot of things become quite possible, not the least of which is impeachment.

3. Welcome to DU. For the sake of the Constitution and as a warning to |
|
future presidents, he MUST be investigated, impeached, and if the evidence shows, removed from office.

They're already siccing the Secret Service after those who believe they hung the wrong man when they hung Saddam.

Bush is a lame duck and powerless to stop the '08 debacle. If he is impeached it could backfire. We are better off with his lame ass in office than trying to remove him. We can pick up 10 seats in the senate and 30 in the house if we just give him enough rope.

However; the Democratic Party must not make the same mistake as the Republican Party did after Nixon was impeached...and that was to Pardon him.
You see this pardon of Nixon and his cronies has come full circle to today 1/24/2007. Think about it Cheney, Rummsfeld, Negroponte, Henry Kissenger and the list goes on....(I am sure other DU'ers can list some more names)....
If these people would have been fully prosecuted for their involvement in the many crimes that occurred during the late 60's and early 70's we would have no G.W. *.
Welcome to DU!:hi:

7. Sens don't speak out like that unless its REALLY bad |
|
Things must be even worse than we know about!
Hagel has serious balls, the stupid freepers are calling him a democRAT - over at that ugly place.
Hagel is very conservative on all issues except this war, hardly a democrat.
So, I don't know if there are mainstream republicans who might support Hagel even with his stand, but it looks to me that he was honest in his stand today - he spoke up because it had to be done, and many others were only thinking of themselves.
There's more than a few of them in DC who think Shrub is putting the entire world at risk of annihilation.

8. I'd certainly grab it and run with it. |

Yes. The tide has turned BIGTIME. Critical mass has been reached. Rosie O'Donnell pushed it, evidently pretty vigorously, on "The View," and the word here from those who watched is that the audience cheered every time she said the "I" word. That's a lot of Middle America there.
I think we HAVE to push for IMPEACHMENT. It's just the noble, correct, responsible, adult, patriotic, and genuinely Constitutional thing to do.
