If Dems win back House in '06 and Don't Impeach--They will have failed
Edited on Wed Dec-28-05 01:05 PM by WI_DEM
Yes there would be investigations first, but it is clear with the evidence and by Bush's own confession that an impeachable offense has occured--the illegal wiretaps of US citizens and groups. He can't tell us that wiretapping environmental groups and anti-war groups is to combat terrorism. It was politically inspired.

That is just the beginning. Bush allowed an illegal war to be pursued using doctored intelligence to sell it to the country and the congress.

His administration, perhaps with his knowledge, outed a CIA agent because that agent's husband opposed the administrations policy on Iraq.

I'm sure that investigations will lead to much more but these are already proven facts and if congress fails to impeach--I will feel that they will have let down the American people and the constitution by allowing these crimes to go unpunished.

1. Agreed. Which is why we need to keep up our drumbeat.
Calls, letters, visits...

Never Give Up.

2. Impeachment should be our highest priority...
in '06. It would show the world that * was wrong and we were right. After that, other cabinet members would resign and then we can take over.

4. I don't think there's much chance we'll win in 2006 because --
based on their present cowardly refusal to stand up as an opposition party -- most Democrats are missing the opportunity of a lifetime to mobilize the public support needed for victory. Moreover, Noam Chomsky says this is no accident:

I desperately hope Chomsky is wrong, and I desperately hope I am wrong.

But the bitter truth is that the election is now only ten months away and there's not even a hint the party has begun to shed the shackles put on it by the Fifth Column betrayals of the Democratic Leadership Council. Contrast this to the Republifascists in 1993, already goose-stepping the length and breadth of the land, proudly marching to their song called "Contract on America"; the Democrats in comparison haven't even settled on a common theme, much less figured out how to beg forgiveness for their vicious DLC betrayals of the working class: NAFTA, CAFTA, re-imposition of indentured servitude disguised as "bankruptcy reform," genocide disguised as "welfare reform," the Medicare Prescription Drug Lord Benefit (which is doubling and tripling the prescription drug expenses of many seniors), etc. ad nauseum.

As I have said on other threads: if I could, I would leave the country, but I am too old.
