If a bear sh*ts in the woods,

[rateyes]

and nothing is around to smell it, does it still stink?

If Bush commits an impeachable offense, and the Congress does ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY NOTHING about it, is he above the law?

What is this crap about impeachment being a right of Congress, but not a duty of Congress? Bullshit.

Our Congresspersons took a sacred oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against ALL enemies, foreign AND domestic...

and, if the POTUS commits a crime against the Constitution, then that POTUS is a domestic enemy of the U.S.A., and Congress has a DUTY to protect the Constitution by impeaching the POTUS.

If they choose not to do so by saying it's a "right" but not a "duty"...they become accessories after the fact.

To know to do what is just, and to refuse to do it, is criminal.

1. even if the dems can't get it passed, at least take him to the mat

He needs poppy to take him to the woodshed
chIMPEACH already

[rateyes]

3. I just read a thread where someone said

it's not Congress' duty to impeach. Unbelievable.

[proud2BlibKansan]

7. Yes I saw that too

Beyond unbelievable. Ignorant. And sad.

[rateyes]

8. If Congress won't impeach this pResident...

no president will ever be held accountable in the future. The presidency is quickly becoming a license to commit felonies.

[proud2BlibKansan]

12. If they had impeached Nixon

we wouldn't have Cheney today. Or Rumsfeld.

That's enough for me.

[rateyes]

16. They should have impeached him,

even after he resigned. He would have lost all the benefits of having served in office (if you can call what he did "service.")

[AuntPatsy]

31. I read that one too, more than unbelievable, its sad, and inexcusable that impeachment

is not yet being acted upon.

Regardless of some people's attempt to legitimize our leaders with trumped up excuses as to why impeachment has not yet been begun they have no honest footing to stand on with such lame excuses considering that with each day that passes we continue to see the destruction of the people's rights being eroded with nothing stopping them.

[rateyes]

40. You got that right. nt

[MonkeyFunk]

2. No matter how often people say it

the congress is not obligated to impeach, and given the near-certain outcome, they're wise not to.

[rateyes]

5. They're obligated to uphold the oath of office...

So, answer me this: How can one protect the Constitution and turn a blind eye to an executive who shits all over it?

[proud2BlibKansan]

9. Well since they work for US

and the vast majority of the American public want impeachment, then yes, they are obligated to impeach.

Then there's that thing about upholding the constitution :eyes:

[MonkeyFunk]

11. the vast majority of Americans want impeachment?

NOt according to polls I've seen.

[proud2BlibKansan]

14. Quit reading polls on rw blogs

:rofl:

[MonkeyFunk]

17. Nope

don't read rw blogs.

[rateyes]

15. It doesn't matter if a majority want it or not...

Members of Congress are obligated under their oath to protect the Constitution.

[MonkeyFunk]

19. And you don't get to decide that impeachment

is the only way for them to do that.

[proud2BlibKansan]

20. So how are they upholding the constituion?

Please, do tell.

[MonkeyFunk]

21. How will a failed impeachment uphold it?

[proud2BlibKansan]

22. I asked you a question and would appreciate an answer

How is Congress upholding our constitution? I say they aren't. Now please tell us how they are.

[MonkeyFunk]

23. No answer

will satisfy you. You think impeachment and impeachment alone can "uphold" the constitution.

But it isn't going to happen. Nobody in any position of authority thinks it's a good idea.

So you're just going to have to be disappointed.

[rateyes]

25. Nobody in any position of authority thinks it's a good idea.

Bullshit. "Nobody" is a strong word to use when a majority in Congress sent an impeachment resolution to the House Judiciary Committee.

[proud2BlibKansan]

29. Gotta love that link

and all the support for that broadbrushed statement. :rofl:

[rateyes]

36. I don't need a link....

I guess you don't know about the vote taken on Kucinich's impeachment resolution. Where you been? Under a rock? :rofl:

[proud2BlibKansan]

28. Since you have offered no answer, how do you know what

will "satisfy" me?

You don't.

And you are dodging the question.

Once again- how are they upholding the constitution??

[AuntPatsy]

33. Nothing new here, lately I have seen quite a bit of dodging straight forward answers

by the very people who demand others do so in response to questions they themselves put forth.

[rateyes]

24. If high crimes have been committed by the POTUS,

that's the ONLY way to do that. I see you didn't bother to answer my question: "How can the Congress protect the Constitution and allow a POTUS to stay in office who keeps shitting all over it?"

[rateyes]

37. Still dodging the question, I see. nt

[proud2BlibKansan]

4. Amen and recommended

[rateyes]

6. Thank you lib,

:yourock:

[proud2BlibKansan]

10. Anytime, rateyes

Anytime at all. :hug:

[rateyes]

13. I get so disgusted at the double standards in this country...

and, the fact that our leadership are the ones allowing it. The country is going to hell in a handbasket.

[proud2BlibKansan]

18. The rw fundie DA in my county just got caught lying about his residence

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x2359405

And the local Dems are just twiddling their thumbs saying oh no there's nothing we can do. Oh he's so bad but we have to just wait until we can run a good Dem for that office next November.

And I am so pissed off I could fucking scream. This is the new mentality in this country. No accountability for law breakers. It starts with the president and trickles down to local district attorneys.

And it is just not acceptable to me. Not in the least.

[rateyes]

26. The mentality is "Me first. Party second. To hell with the people." nt

[Vinca]

27. You're exactly right, rateyes. It's their duty.

If it fails, so be it, at least there will be notation in the history books that they tried. Personally, I think impeachment is too good for this pair. They need to be tried and imprisoned for war crimes.

[madokie]

30. how can anyone have it both ways

they should be impeached and I won't quit writing my sen and rep and telling them that until either they do or they leave office. I'm sure I'm on the shitcan immediately list as I seldom get the same ole form letters anymore. maybe they just figure I'm getting tired of reading the same thing over and over so they're gonna liten up on me a little I don't know. I do know bush/cheney and company needs to be impeached and tried on war crimes charges, now I do know that for sure.

[rateyes]

38. ROFL....

thanks! :rofl:

[Solly Mack]

39. Yes - Bush is above the law. Yes - Bush is allowed to torture

Yes - Bush is allowed to break laws, abuse the powers of office, and violate the Constitution.

Everything Bush has done and gotten away with (which is everything) is something he is allowed to do.

Obviously...because otherwise
