I believe Bush WILL be impeached! I believe that it can be done.

[texpatriot2004]

I believe that I will see him impeached. It's like in Lord of the Rings, I think it was the second one, when Gandolf and the crew were in the cave running from the monster dragon thing and Gandolf turned to face the dragon at the bridge and with all of his might and sheer force of his will said, "YOU SHALL NOT PASS." That's how I feel. Bush shall not succeed in ruining America with his selfishness, greed and stupidity. I will not allow it. I will believe in something other than disaster for this country. In my mind's eye I will believe that Bush is being impeached. I will dream of it and maybe others will dream of it too. What's your vision? "...Without vision, the people perish..." I am not sure what book or verse to quote, but it's from the good book. The one that the Rethugs don't own. So, I will choose to believe, right now, that this madness stops here! That EVIL Bush shall not pass!

Get thee behind me Satan; YOU SHALL NOT PASS!

[dorktv]

1. After what happened to Dean, I do not believe anything good will happen

but then that means I get pleasently surprised. Let us hope. :hug:

[autorank]

2. I believe...

I believe that Bush stole two elections.

I believe that Bush and Co believed that they were immune to any type of restraint.

I believe that they mistook the 911 tragedy and the 911 enabled war as proof of this.

I believe that they are mere mortals, not masters of the universe.

I believe that their mortal vision is in clear focus and repulsive to about 80% of the country.

I believe that as we approach an 65% disapproval, as measured by the non corporate polls, there will be a robust discussion of both Iraq and NOLA.

I believe that at that time there will be break through reports on election fraud which we need to remember took place just last November (or August if you count the Ohio 2nd Congressional district special election in, where else, Ohio).

I believe that those three topics form the perfect storm for Bush & Co.

I believe that as the storm swirls, we will see the difference between 65% disapprove surge to nearly 75%.

I believe that as that happens, Bush will be more limited than ever before and there will be calls for replacement ("resignations by Bush, Cheney, and the rotten crew).

I believe that this will happen in the next six months.

I believe that if I'm wrong people will taunt me with this post.

and I know that I don't care because this is what I believe (vision thing, you know).

:hi:

And Lawdy mighty we are goin' to rid this world of the evils we have in our place, your place, the magnifiecnt edifice holding those evil doers, the White House. Cause I believe in the almighty lord.

Lawd, somebody help me!

[calimary]

40. YES, you can - HERE!

What I've been doing is closing most of my conversations with people, either on the phone or in person, with "Visualize IMPEACHMENT! Pass it on..."

I get a LOT of favorable feedback.

YES. BELIEVE.

Visualize IMPEACHMENT!!!!!!!

Don't cloud your mental images with worries about - "oh, dear, but that leaves us with cheney" or "oh, dear, it'll never happen" or "oh, dear, I'm just one person - I can't really do anything" - JUST DON'T.

JUST DON'T.

Visualize IMPEACHMENT ANYWAY!!!!!

If you go to church on Sunday or something, anytime you pray, any time you light a votive candle, anytime you meditate, anytime you do ANYTHING, see if you can spend at least a wee bit of time on creative visualization.

Don't forget the mental pictures: bush in an orange jumpsuit, for example. Or the big, screaming headline in a major newspaper or even your own local one - "bUSH IMPEACHED!" (Sorry, I can't give him a capital "b," just can't do it.) bush being frogmarched OUT of the White House. See in your mind's eye the handcuffs they've just clamped around his wrists behind his back. See him sitting next to his battery of lawyers in trial. See him in the witness box at The Hague. Picture his face behind bars. Just imagine it. Use mental imagery. As detailed as possible. Just focus on that. You can work on cheney later. It is CRITICAL to focus on this, NOW. Start it NOW. BE that proverbial fluttering butterfly wing halfway across the world that could affect the flow of the currents here. BE that constant drop-drop-drop of water that eventually bores a hole in a stone.

Everything we see around us started with somebody's IDEA. And that THOUGHT eventually turned into a THING. Or a REALITY. But first, you've gotta get your mind around it.

The only way this doesn't work is if you give up. Sometimes it takes awhile. But if you do nothing, you GUARANTEE that nothing happens.

[earth mom]

97. WOW! I just absolutely LOVE your idea!

Because I absolutely positively believe in the power of visualization. Thanks for reminding me!

p.s. I hope it's okay that I added it to my signature....

:)

[autorank]

46. Well, I'm glad it had the intended effect. Now I'll pass the plate...

O8) btw, I've bookmarked this so as events unfold and reach a tipping point for my "beliefs" expect a little reminder.

Keep the faith, or get some, or not...it's all whatever...

"A job once well done, is twice done."

"No hurt, no cure."

My father, all American but 1/2 German, 1/2 Irish, would roll these off every now and then, not as injusctions but as commentary and instruction. He claimed they were from the German side of the family.

Ilike the "job once well done" quote. Soooo true, right Mike Brown!

5. I envision LOVE and Truth in Action will ultimately overthrow the KILLERS

It is tragic that Katrina may be the silver bullet that destroys and ends the reign of the MURDERING B*SHLer War Criminal Club.

Hearts and minds are awakening all over the world. They are losing one of their last covers...secrecy...the death and devastation in NO and the constant TV coverage is deeply mirroring the horror in Iraq and other places in the world being raped and destroyed by the INSANITY, Greed and STUPIDITY of just a small group of mentally ill individuals.

I join you and Autorank in seeing the future, and it will be beautiful once these killers are locked up for good, and all of the creativity, brilliance, and love will transform this planet from war torn to sustainable and living as if we ARE ONE FAMILY.

Peace for all living beings will be a reality, we must evolve on every level and we will.

kick for the TRUTH

No one can be fooled at this point, they are guilty and will not be allowed to harm.

The lesson is we must take care of one another and as a global family stand together.

[calimary]

42. Do it for the Katrina victims. So they won't have died in vain.

Do it for the Iraqi victims. So THEY won't have died in vain.

Do it for the Casey Sheehans. So THEY won't have died in vain.

DO it for the 9/11 victims. So THEY won't have died in vain.

Do it for THEM.

Their deaths are tragic and so heartbreakingly unnecessary. THIS is how you give meaning and honor to that sacrifice and loss. Their souls cry out for justice. THIS is how those needless deaths will be avenged.

[evolvenow]

73. Beautiful Calimary. Their deaths will ultimately lead to peace.

kick for the TRUTH

[kster]

6. I Agree *

is done, I suppose the Government and media can keep covering up for his sorry *ss , but We all saw AMERICANS in NO being tortured in (no uncertain terms), The writing is on the wall as to what the -G- did, I can not find words for what I feel. I can not have respect for the Democrats or Republicans who are sitting on their hands and doing NOTHING,about it. Lets hope our -G- DOES WHAT IT NEEDS TO DO!

[Usrename]

7. So be it.

I believe that he took us from record surplus to record deficit.

I believe there were no WMDs.

I belive Karl Rove is a traitor.

I believe gas is three times what is was when he took office.

I believe people are sick of this and will not permit more media pandering.

I believe that we the people must remove him from office.

13. I believe that now is not soon enough.

[AuntiBush]

83. I believe all of you are absolutely correct!

I believe, too, that 80% of the country are past fed-up & want the entire lot out yesterday!

I believe it is going to happen, in the next 6 months if not sooner.

And I believe if there is a hell, the gates await them all, wide-open as 80% of American's eyes are, right now!

[texpatriot2004]

11. I believe that something GIGANTIC is in the works and I believe

that people have been working on it for quite some time and they needed some quiet time to get it done. They needed to focus and concentrate. I believe that the project is ready now. The time is right for the project to be revealed but since it is so huge it will be revealed in pieces effectively submitted here and there placed right where they need to be when they need to be there. I believe the revelation has started and you ain't seen nothin' yet. Just a guess, maybe a very lucky one.

as long as GW keeps his cigar out of other women he's safe from impeachment. Thats the only impeachable crime that the republicans go after. Then again with GW they'll just say he tripped and fell on the poor woman and it was an accident.

And coming from me, that is saying something. Visualization takes so little time. Just do it.

I know it's hard. I know it hurts. Do it anyway.

[Gman]

19. Not before 2007

If Dems don't retake the House and have at least a 20 vote cushion, it ain't gonna happen. That's not to mention having the votes in the Senate to convict (2/3).

[electropop]

23. He'll be out by August 2006.

The Rethugs in Congress are fighting for their lives now. They are well aware they have to flush Bush or face joblessness.

Next month, just about the time the NO travesty is starting to fade from the MSM, Fitzgerald will issue a series of indictments of Rove, Libby, and probably several other traitors.

Shortly after that, the bankruptcy bill's effect on NO survivors will become a big stink, and its credit card provisions will slam virtually every American.

Bush is face down in the potty right now. His former friends in Congress know the whole "school" has gathered to watch. They will pull the lever. They have to. But it won't help them, because they have already lost Congress.

[tavalon]

24. Aw, don't think so two dimensional

They have to flush bush, face joblessness or shore up Diebold. Three choices actually.

[electropop]

31. It's too late for that 3rd choice to work.

You can't safely fudge the numbers when it's 60/40 or worse. 51/48, maybe even 53/47, sure. Beyond that, it becomes really obvious and then you have trouble in the streets.

[tavalon]

33. I wonder

I think we are going to have to organize our own exit polls, because without them, I think Diebold isn't restricted by margins at all.

[electropop]

34. I agree.

The trick is, how do we ensure they are credible enough to overcome Puke skepticism?

[mirrera]

77. People won't know it is 60/40 if Diebold picks the margin...

Parallel elections with paper ballots is our only hope of waking people up to how much company they are in. We are made to feel alone. Isolation and fear is how fascists rule. I too believe he will be impeached. I have to...


http://NoBullshiRt.com

[BlueIris]

35. Okay. Even better thinking there.

Maybe I should make that the last DU post I read today. It's very positive.

[autorank]

49. I like your analysis..."the whole school has gathered to watch."

Sums up the maturity of Congress aptly and precisely. It's going to be like NASCAR on a hot and humid Sunday (how ironic).

Hadn't thought about the bankruptcy bill but the banks won't be able to resist, not those banks down there. They'll see it as their civic duty, ya know, clearing out the projects.

We have to keep the heat on up until election day 2006 to make sure they don't get too bold and try to pull a "Cleland" on us. They need the fear of the people and God, the machine owners, and know that if they even try, it will cause a non stop uproar!

Great thoughts but sad also.

20. The only ones left in his court are the CRAZIES and the bloodsuckers

[peace_on_earth]

28. I envision a peaceful world with honorable leaders

For a while I was visualizing the CNN headline "Entire * Administration Impeached". Then I realized that that vision would constitute interference in other peoples' "free will". Even if those people are evildoers rarely before seen on this planet, they still are entitled to free will (as are we all). So visualizing something bad happening to particular individuals (no matter how much we think they deserve it) violates the immutable Laws of the Universe.

So now I visualize a world exactly as I would like it to be, peaceful and cooperative, without greed and murder and war. I visualize us being past this awful phase as a society, and people everywhere realizing that we are all connected (and conducting their lives with this in mind).

In other words, instead of visualizing the ABSENCE of something bad, why not visualize the PRESENCE of something good? Because that's the only way this process of manifesting something you desire works. Just like if you want to lose weight--instead of visualizing losing those pesky pounds, imagine instead the sleek body you desire! (If you "lose" them, you will undoubtedly find them again!)

One last thing--if we just imagine getting rid of them, we have not taken care of the critical issue of who will replace them. Dick Cheney, anyone? Hastert? So how about we all think about the world as we want it to be?

[calimary]

44. Good points all. Just make sure you visualize some DETAILS.

Easier to get your subconscious around.

And Welcome to DU!

As I said, don't worry about cheney and the rest. First things first.

[rosesaylavee]

22. I believe that one day, we will all wake up to the news

that several in the Bush administration are under indictment...

I hope sooner than later but I KNOW it will happen. To think otherwise is to cease trusting in our system of laws and the entire process of our society.

I am hoping for an early Christmas gift.

if we don't take back congress in 2006 Bush will get a pass.

[Independent_Liberal]

27. You're right, it CAN be done. Check this out...

We can force Congress to its job. We're going to tell all our Reps, "You either impeach or we'll have you booted out of office upon public complaint by state court order!"

30. I believe

I believe that Bush never had majority support in this country that it
was all a swindle from 2000 on. I believe that he never had the
vote percentage that was portrayed in 2004, it was all a lie. I believe
that he had exclusive rallies so that America would not realize how
small a crowd of supporters that he had. I believe that this will be
exposed and that he will no longer be in office. I believe whoever follows him will not be a "neocon" but and "american."

[texpatriot2004]

90. The people of the Lie M. Scott Peck n/t

[wryter2000]

36. Only if we win the House

There won't even be articles of impeachment unless we win the House. If we do that, we have a chance of impeaching him. Getting him convicted in the Senate will never happen, though.

[calimary]

45. Doesn't matter. Do It Anyway.

If we get NO farther than the finished Articles of IMPEACHMENT from the House of Reps, handed to the Senate for trial, that's enough. It means asshole has that blot on his historical record, NO MATTER WHO WRITES THE HISTORY BOOKS. Whether he's IMPEACHED - AND REMOVED FROM OFFICE, it's the IMPEACHMENT itself that counts.

We can do it one of two ways:

1) Either we get the House back in which case John Conyers and others will get the ball rolling.

or

2) We do EVERYTHING we can to encourage public opinion to go OUR way, whether it be talking to friends and getting at least a few of them involved or activated, or phoning your reps (YES. BOTH Dems AND republi-CONS) and beating the drum again and again "to kind of catapult the propaganda," so to speak. Give them NO rest. Give them NO escape from the CONSTANT, NEVER-ENDING calls for IMPEACHMENT. If public opinion continues along these lines, there will be enough republi-CONS who read the writing on the wall - especially since THEY are up for reelection and they WON'T be eager to hitch their wagons to an anvil. PLEASE remember: It was the GOP that finally pushed Nixon out. For the sake of their own personal AND party survival. And many of us thought THAT would never happen, also.

DON'T cloud your thinking, OR your focus, OR your meditation with worries or fears or "...but..." Just don't.

As many DUers have said here - focus on the POSITIVE.

[texpatriot2004]

rolling our way. I like to play ball.

[Mich Otter]

39. Don't kid yourself or any one else.

Well, as much as I wish this wasn't true; I think you're only kidding yourselves to think there is any way Bush will be impeached.
The Republicans will never do it. Bush has had their full support for everything that Bush and the Republicans have done to America and the world. Bush and the Republicans in Congress have been in lock-step to bring down the government.
The Democrats will not bring impeachment proceedings against Bush because they have been supporting most of the Bush/Republican agenda. Most of the Democrats have been bought and paid for by the global corporations and the military/industrial complex.
The Democrats also know the American people will not support an impeachment. Bringing impeachment charges will bring to much focus on how both sides of the aisle operate in Washington. Whatever Bush has done, the American people are suckers enough to believe that Bush didn't do it with malice.
I would love to wrong in my assessment.

[autorank]

51. Think outside the box...just a little. He'll be "resigned" w/his crew.

That's how we do it here. Never bring the full force of the process to bear (e.g., get rid of Nixon but no jail time). The trick is to make sure honorable replacements is selected to take their place.

[Mich Otter]

61. My thinking tends towards reality.

The Democrats can get control of Congress. They still won't have the stomachs to start an impeachment. If they start impeaching, they will probably not be able to win the White House in 2008 because the country will turn against the Democrats.
Let's support whatever Democrats we can to move this country as far to the left as Democrats are willing to go.

[onenote]

93. mine too

but this is a fantasy thread. If it makes folks feel better and keeps them motivated to speak out against this administration, I see no harm. But you're right, of course.

[Time for change]

43. I believe that Bush will pay for what he's done

after he dies and for a long time thereafter.

Whether he pays before that I cannot say.

The important thing is for people like us to do all we can to stop him before he does more damage.

[Raydawg1234]

50. wishfull thinking...

The cold hard truth is that we're never goint to impeach Bush untill we retake congress. Right now, it's just not going to happen

[Raydawg1234]

52. What then........President Cheney? lol

[autorank]

54. Oh, now way. If Bush goes, Cheney and the whole crew go w/him.

That's the logical result of the vision of Bush going.

[texpatriot2004]

55. And the whole church said, "AMEN!" Autorank, I like the way

you think.

[autorank]

56. Gotta be...who wants another meal from a "Ptomaine Palace"

:rofl:

[Raydawg1234]

57. no, thats just a vision......not how it really works

after all, when Nixon resigned we got President Ford. If Bush is impeached we'll get President Cheney. Thats just reality....

[ProudDad]

67. bush can't get convicted

because we would need a 2/3 vote in the Senate to remove him.

It doesn't matter -- see my other posts today...

Chairman John Conyers would see to it that his remaining 2 years are a living hell!!

[autorank]

71. Good news dawd...we would have gotten Agnew. They made sure

Agnew was gone so they could put in Ford, they "exit stage left, President Nixon" (the helicopter is ready). Cheney will have to go first and watch what Fitzgerald does. It he's really motivated, he'll indict Libby and name Cheney a "person of interest." Since it's treason in everybody's mind, technically or not, the Cheney will be gone.

[calimary]

58. I'm posting this quote that I found in our new friend's profile - the MD

[ISUGRADIA]

59. Like Lord of the Rings Impeachment is a fiction

Even if we can take the House in 2006, I see no stomach for impeachment from the Dem leadership. They cannot win an impeachment in the Senate.

[ProudDad]

66. He doesn't have to be convicted

or even have articles of impeachment passed by the house.

He only needs to be emasculated. Imagine the hearings that House Judiciary CHAIRMAN JOHN CONYERS would hold!!!

Think about it. Doesn't it make you glow inside?

[ISUGRADIA]

72. I agree with your point. That is a possibility.

I just wanted to point out the political reality of the Senate and getting to 68 votes. Some here think that the Repubs will jump to get rid of Bush. Truth is many are owned part and parcel by Bush and the Repubs are probably at their strongest since the 1920s under Bush.

[ProudDad]

96. You're right

There's no way we could get 68 votes in the current Congress.

Too many corporate types.

Seriously, change the House in '06 so the Dems take control, keep up unrelenting pressure and it'll happen.

Let's see, in January of 2007: Speaker of the House Pelosi said today, "bush is oblivious, in denial, dangerous" and must be impeached.

[ProudDad]

64. It's ok that there aren't the votes in the Senate

It doesn't matter.

Can you imagine the hearings in the House Judiciary Committee, chaired by Rep. John Conyers, about the question of impeaching George W. Bush for High Crimes and Misdemeanors!!!???!!!

[MODemocrat]

81. That will probably never happen

The right wing has the money to keep their Man-child president in office, and they will do it at any cost They have too much to lose if he were to be taken out. They will do anything and everything just as they have always done to keep the power, and they still own the media.

He's a criminal in every way, and if any democrat did just one of the many things he has done to hurt this country, they would have already been impeached. They impeach for a tawdry little affair between two consenting adults, but would never impeach one of their own even though he is an enabling murderer. They don't love this country; they love their power. :banghead: :banghead:
