Impeach Cheney First!

I'm sick of this.

I just finished reading the Washington Post article "Feingold Draws Little Support for Censure," which essentially is just an excuse to quote Dick Cheney bashing Democrats. And if you read it, it's just the latest in a long, long line of Dick Cheney's lies and attempts to divide this country by inciting fear and portraying all those who disagree with the Bush administration as enemies of the state.

One of the major arguments against impeaching Bush is that it would leave us with a President Cheney, a situation that most would agree is even worse. If Bush is essentially unimpeachable, why not focus an effort on impeaching Cheney?

He was not only a major architect of this war, he was its primary salesman, and his lies, manipulations, and deceptions on the subject are well documented. From his infamous claim of knowing exactly where the nonexistent Iraqi WMDs were ("around Tikrit and Baghdad") to his unsupported assertion that "Saddam has, in fact, reconstituted nuclear weapons," Cheney has consistently shown a willingness to not just dance around the facts, as some in the Bush administration have, but to disregard them altogether, to lie almost pathologically. Many people supported the war because they saw Dick Cheney on the Sunday morning talk shows and actually believed him. Cheney has also been a major architect behind the illegal policy of torture of detainees. Yet time after time, no matter how naked Cheney's lies, or how gross his misuse of his authority, he is allowed to sneak back into his undisclosed location without ever facing any sort of accountability.

At 18% approval rating, Dick Cheney is the most despised figure in the Bush administration, and as his approval rating sinks even lower, it is conceivable he could be made into a target that moderate Republicans could use to distance themselves from Bush without actually attacking him. If Cheney is made to step down because of his unpopularity before he can be impeached, that is a tremendous victory as well. Cheney should be made to leave the office in shame.

Why haven't we seen a larger movement to impeach Cheney? And what do you think its chances are of either being successful, or simply running him out of office?

and other war proponents in the administration.

I want to see him indicted by Fitz and quit, saving us the time and effort required to impeach him.

convicted felons has a nice ring too. My hopes now lie with state governments, as DC appears to be nothing but a large cesspool, leaving every one there full of shit.

Cheney is already the president, he just has Chimp to do his talking for him.

Hopefully whatever crap sees the light of day while bringing charges against the impersonator-in-chief will be sufficient to drag ol' Dick out the door, too.

Sir Rodney says to the king, "Sire. You must do something to protect yourself from assassination."

The King replies, "I already did. I named you as my successor."

Same principle here.

Bush will put someone else in there.

Going after Bush will surely give us two for the price of one with no extra expenditure of money!!

Deception over Iraq War
Violations of the Geneva Conventions and the Convention against Torture
Domestic waretapping without a warrant
Renditon
Failure to execute the law concerning disaster relief after Hurracaine Katrina
Conspiracy to unmask the identity of a covert agent and exposing Brewster Jennings a covert operation working on WMD Proliferation.

You're my kind of patriot.
