Impeachment Talk Reaches the Mainstream

[dogday]

The groundswell for President Bush's impeachment is growing, and last week the establishment media finally took notice.

The Wall Street Journal ran a story analyzing how a planned impeachment of President Bush will play out as an "election issue," including a helpful pie chart showing 51 percent of Americans support Congress in considering Bush's impeachment if he "didn't tell the truth about the reasons for the Iraq war."

The Washington Post published a commentary acknowledging that support for impeachment is now "reaching beyond the usual suspects," and the Associated Press covered the spike in pro-impeachment resolutions from local officials across the country. Resolutions recently passed in Vermont and California, and this weekend Democratic Party officials in Michigan voted to urge local officials to pass another. Meanwhile, 14 Democratic candidates for Congress have announced their support for impeachment.

These local efforts are beginning to advance impeachment at the national level. The resolution by Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., to investigate impeachment is slowly but steadily gaining co-sponsors, including three this month. It now has 29 co-sponsors -- roughly one out of every seven Democrats in the U.S. House -- a promising start that ensures that the legislation attracts more votes when it reaches the floor.

2. But they need to impeach the whole adminstration...

Not just Bushie Boy... as that is the whole machine that is ruining everything. Also, everything that Bush and this administration did in the four years need to be charged against them, like the response to Katrina the PATRIOT Act, wiretapping all of the shebang.

4. Hasn't that meme already been shouted down?

Aren't we supposed to be placated by a censure movement that fizzles out?

7. All those that are there-

had better get in the lineup or go home and make some excuses if they ever want to be re-elected.
They should have a solid plan of impeachment before Nov. when hopefully control will be in Dems favor.
I honestly suspect that if plans are solid enough, this whole regime will resign and leave one helluva mess for anyone who might be in line. After Nov. that might well be an elected Dem so make sure that your candidates and incumbents are strong, honest, and in good standing!
