I figure when things begin to get hot on the impeachment front...

[chaska]

that they will push Delay out front and say "here, take this one".

Then with Delay disposed of, we could be nicely set up for a post '06 impeachment of our mildly retarded president.

Buh bye, Dufus.

DU says what?

[notadmblnd]

1. I don't think he's retarded, I think he's brain damaged

either from the use of drugs and alcohol or inbreeding.. but he's definately braindamaged. As to the impeachment,, nothing would make me happier.

[tridim]

2. Good point, but

he's fully retarded (or fully mentally challenged). The guy can't even speak.

[ewagner]

3. Don'[t think that will happen

The Repubs need Delay in the house to hold the line against any impeachment inquiry or resolution...he's the ring leader and Dubya couldn't survive without him.....

No.

The Repubs will "circle the wagons" and use the "slime and deny" tactic until we're sick of hearing it.....

[Jack Rabbit]

4. I'll gladly take that one

. . . and I still want the other one, too.

After all, when all is said and done, the worst thing of which DeLay is guilty is good, old fashioned extortion. He should do a stretch in the federal pen for that, but it's not a matter that needs to be taken up by an interantional war crimes tribunal.

5. . . . or they will attack the country again to show how well

they defend us.

6. I don't want to see impeachment proceedings right now

not while the House is full of neocons and wimpy DLC Democrats. What the Rovians are hoping is to get them out of the way before the 2006 election. They're expecting to lose a lot of seats in 2006 because people are sick to death of one party rule (not to mention that party has fucked up royally), and they want the impeachment to be long out of the way and forgotten before the new Congress sits in 2007.

Don't fall for it, kiddies. It's a trap cooked up by the DLC and Uncle Karl.

[calimary]

15. Look, what we need to do is help BUILD MOMENTUM now.

Yes, you're correct, the neocons still hold sway. What we REALLY need to do is build on that momentum (which WILL take some time), and also contribute whatever and however we can to getting the House of Representatives back in Democratic hands. At THAT point, we probably won't even have to suggest impeachment proceedings. They'll start on their own.

And as far as their "sacrificing tom delay" to make all the fuss die down, well, I'll take him, gladly. But that won't pull my eyes from the prize.

7. Will he ever in his life stand to answer for anything he's done?

I know in recent history anyway the 2nd term of presidents can be none too pleasant. The optimist in me says that there's got to be a point in time when he's made to account for himself. But the pessimist realizes this is a man who's been selected twice by questionable means and has had his messes cleaned up for him. Is there enough of a firestorm in DC for impeachment?

[whistle]

8. This DUer says.....Politics like opera.....

...when guy gets stabbed, instead of bleeding, he sings.

Politician like cannibal, he likes to see other people stewed.

Politicians should remember that even a fish can escape being caught, if it keeps its mouth shut.

[chaska]

9. good points all, but....

I kind of doubt we could get to anything resembling impeachment hearings before the election. And wouldn't Dems have to push for that. Why would we be so foolish when we don't have the numbers?

I think there's still a good chance that Delay will be gone before the election. Especially if we make it hot enough for 'em. The presidunce may want and need him around but the Congress don't want that albatross hanging around its neck.

What do I know, but I like it as a two part strategy (three if you count taking back Congress) to vanquish e-vil.

[rniel]

10. what may happen scares me even more

A nuclear bomb set off in the united states. That would help them out so much politically as sick as it sounds I think they may just go for it. Noone would call them on it because as Hitler said the biggest lie is always the most believable.

[meppie-meppie not]

11. fuck impeachment, try them all for TREASON.

[knowbody0]

12. i agree

high crimes.

[meppie-meppie not]

13. high crimes aren't necessarily treasonous but lying to the electorate

to get into war resulting in thousands of dead and maimed is TREASON and the charge carries the death penalty not a pardon by King Cheney because the King would be on trial WITH the chimp, just a thought:-)

[chaska]

14. Now, now, ya'll. I thought we democrats didn't believe in...

executing the retarded. LOL.

There's no way we'll ever get more than impeachment. We'll have to be way lucky to get that. To go beyond impeachment would result in riots at the very least.

That said, aim for the stars. Hell yeah!
