Talking about Impeachment is different than demanding it NOW.

[JanMichael]

It's about creating the momentum (Or "Joementum" for the DLCers) for Impeachment. It's about forcing the repukes to defend the monster on OUR terms. It's about making them go back on their heels. Ie. framing the debate.

This might very well be a major issue once the mid-terms come around. Actually we may be able to MAKE it a major issue and beat the hell out of repuke congress critters with it.

Waiting only allows them to bring up more wedge issues a few months before the elections, like "gay marriage" and "abortion", remember those?

They're wedge issues. They make lemmings scared.

Impeachment and the reasons FOR Impeachment may trump those icky non-issues that the neo-CONS keeps using.

EDIT: I should have added that Impeachment talk is a campaign issue as well as a demand for Accountability and Justice. It's a double edged weapon.

1. The dems need to keep repeating over and over the many reasons

why this administration should be impeached. Not just bush**.

I remember that the repubs (like DeLay) did this when they went after Clinton over something that was personal and not the business of anyone but him and his family.

[JanMichael]

2. Bingo! They started early to lay the groundwork.

It didn't matter to them what issue thay caught Clinton on just so long as the caught him. Which really only screwed Gore but that's not our issue now.

Just the idea of removal is a powerful concept and ush has given us real substantive reasons to start speaking and discussing this publically.

It's a campaign issue as well as Justice.

3. Right. Talk up the REASONS and use those along w/our energy & time to

educate the American public as to what has been REALLY going on and, using truth and facts to fight lies and spin, get Dems elected as the majority in BOTH Houses in Nov. THEN with all of our ducks in a row we go for impeachment, etc (hopefully with a vast majority of Americans cheering them on).

4. The wedge issues need a visual.

Gay marriage can be a wedge of lemon. Abortion can be a wedge of lime. Immigration can be a wedge of orange. Put 'em all atop a tall cocktail with the GOP umbrella and you've got the recipe for disaster. You can't drive a country when you're drunk with power.

Too many metaphors?

5. Right. It's a meme we must spread.

That's why I put this sticker on my car window. And I seem to be getting an increasingly positive response from other drivers.

Repetition is vital in politics.

[JanMichael]

6. I intentionally avoided the use of "meme".

I have no idea how to pronounce it...

[DavidDvorkin]

7. On the Internet

No one can hear your pronunciation. :)

[JanMichael]

8. But I can and it hurts!

It would be intellectually dishonest of me to use words that I could in no way pronounce!

9. Impeachment! If not now -when? nt

10. Amen
