Another impeachophobe becomes an impeacher! Impeachophobia -- the immobilizing affliction that is destroying our constitutional democracy -- can be conquered. And recovery is a one-way process. Once an impeachophobe recovers, they don't go back.
We are seeing more and more people "out here" recover, but the impeachophobes in Congress are crying out for help!
ImpeachophobiaPosted by pat_k in General Discussion: Politics
Thu Apr 05th 2007, 03:59 PMLike squatters, Bush and Cheney are laying claim to unconstitutional power through openly hostile possession. Members of Congress, who we empowered and charged with the duty of evicting (impeaching) such trespassers, are refusing to act. . .
There is a Cure! -- Turning Impeachophobes into ImpeachersWhatever position or office -- member of the press, Member of Congress, staffer, activist, citizen -- impeachophobes are all just people and people can be reached. We know impeachophobia can be cured because it is being cured. We are seeing and rank and file Democrats "out here" conquer impeachophobia and become "impeachers" everyday. Simply being exposed to impeachment advocates has been enough for some. Others require more intensive "intervention."
Curing impeachophobia doesn't require a "specialist." Anybody can do it by simply challenging impeachophobic rationalizations whenever they can.Although we haven't seen any of the impeachophobes in the 110th Congress turn into impeachers, we should not be too discouraged. They can be reached, but the group dynamics that led the DC Democrats to take impeachment "off the table" also enable them to effectively defend against reality and reason that challenges that decision.
