For Those Who Argue that Impeacment is Impractical

[Mme. Defarge]

Here's a scenario ...

You have noticed that your house is on fire. What would you do first?

A. Pay your bills to avoid late fees

B. Schedule the overdue 30,000 mile maintenance on your car

C. Google Overstock.com for deals on home fire extinguishers

D. Immediately call the fire department

Or, if you simply don't believe that the most important issue at hand is for the United States of America to remain a government of laws, please explain?

[BuyingThyme]

1. E. Offer comprehensive immigration legislation. Twice.

[Rabrrrrrr]

2. And then vote to pass an utterly unqualified criminal nutbag for Attorney General. Twice.

[EFerrari]

3. And then go shopping.

[Mme. Defarge]

4. Bingo!

[Rabrrrrrr]

5. But first vote to borrow money from your grandchildren to pay for the shopping spree.

[Mme. Defarge]

7. Hey, c'est la guerre

n'est ce pas?

By the time they catch on you'll be history!

[Greyhound]

6. ROTFLMAO!

You are one of the primary reasons I continue to waste my time here.

Thanks!:hi:

[EFerrari]

8. I bet you say that to all the leftist rabble rousing loudmouths.

:rofl:

[Greyhound]

13. Yes indeed, especially Ms. Greyhound. I can only imagine that we would have a grand

old time, sipping or smoking our libations of choice, and laughing and making our plans for what to do when.

Again, thanks for being.

[Chovexani]

9. It's the American Way!

:patriot:

[EFerrari]

10. Macy's/Walmart 2008!

:hi:

[Gold Metal Flake]

11. This thread is making the Democratic Party look bad.

I guess you all want us to lose in 2008 blah blah undecided voters blah blah dry powder blah blah etc...

[Mme. Defarge]

12. Merci Milles Fois ...

Thanks for the compliment!

[Mme. Defarge]

15. Or,

[Swamp Rat]

26. C'est déjà contre la loi.

That is just another trick the arschgesicht neo-Nazi republicans are trying to pull.

[whistle]

16. Well, if you are a republican and it is your house the answer is obvious

...E. Go next door, ring your neighbor's doorbell and when he/she answers, tell them their house is on fire and it spread to your house and you are suing them for damages and filing charges against them for arson.

[KingFlorez]

17. Here's one of my concerns

There aren't enough votes for conviction in the Senate, so Bush would be acquitted and that would be the most disastrous thing that could happen. We don't need anything to backfire and let Bush off the hook, the votes for conviction are needed.

[Mme. Defarge]

19. Then let them eat cake!

Not.

Let them go on record. Let them defend their vote when the case has been made.

[leftofthedial]

18. I'd borrow another trillion dollars from my grandkids

and give it to king george to use to kill a bunch of people

so I wouldn't look bad

[Proud2BAmurkin]

20. What if you know there's no firemen at the fire department?

Then calling them is a waste of time and you get burned in the process.

Same with impeaching scumbags who won't end up being removed by the Senate.

[Mme. Defarge]

21. An old friend of mine once said ...

"I disagree with what you say, but I defend to the death your right to say it!"

He was on to something, don't you think?

[Zhade]

22. Why even solicit answers from unethical cowards?

They're advocating letting criminals walk - there is no way around that fact.

Fuck 'em. Not even worth the time. It's not like THEY'RE going to stop us from calling for a restoration of the Constitution and rule-of-law. I mean, seriously. They have no power to do so.

They probably would have told MLK his fight was "impractical", too.

[Mme. Defarge]

23. Just trying to help

frame the issue in a way that puts what is really at stake in perspective. We lose our Constitution, we lose it all. Quelle tragédie!

[Zhade]

24. I'm sorry. I am just so angry with these cowards.

You made excellent points - consider this a kick!

[Mme. Defarge]

25. Courage, mon brave ...

et merci!

[Froward69]

27. Yes call the fire department... but to

Vapor lock the government. only to be as over reactional as the republicans. does not accomplish anything really. Instead arresting bushy/cheney on the Inaugural podium. Holding them indefinitely as enemy combatants.
1) would keep our government running.
2) would force the rethugs to reconsider their position on burning the constitution.
3)would net World support for our endeavors immediately.
4)is better than the alternative of blowing the wad of public support too soon.
Seeing what Pelosi is doing... will enable us to capture the WH and BOTH houses of congress sooner rather than later.(in 2008) Impeachment will alienate independents and centrist republicans. and Blow away any real chance of gaining majority power.
