88 Senators dont support Surge, we need 67 to remove from office

Only 12 Senators support the "Surge". Which might suggest that there exists today. latent support.

.

Heres a top down chart:

Bush & Cheney go to jail.

Bush & Cheney convicted of crimes.

Bush & Cheney undergo a jury trial.

Bush & Cheney removed from office. (Conviction in Senate)

Bush & Cheney impeached. Indicted in House.

Bush & Cheney get investigated. Foundation is built here.

I say start building the foundation .... right now.
If we dont build the foundation we will never get to put the roof shingles on. Well prosecuted criminal cases start with a good foundation. The House DEMs job is to build that foundation, cinder block by cinder block, row by row. If they dont, we slam them good.

I think in the long run many Repubs may see their voters getting pissed off at Bush & Cheney, more & more voters demanding the removal from office means more repub senators will consider voting to remove from office..... if we lay a good foundation, the people may demand it.

SO lets get to mixing some cement.

1. Disagreeing with the "surge" does not equate to support for impeachment!

Having a policy difference with the president is not even close to believing that he has committed high crimes and misdemeanors, so I wouldn't get my hopes up, if I were you.

2. If only it were the same thing, we'd be dancing in the streets.

But, no, unfortunately it's not. And the GOP won't hold grudges against those who vote for the surge the way they would against those who voted for impeachment.
