My question to you: concerning Bush and Feingold...

Edited on Wed Mar-15-06 09:28 AM by wake.up.america

If Feingold cannot get enough Democrats together to consider censure of Bush, how in the world can anything be done to oust Bush before Bush destroys the planet?

How loud must the noise be before the gutless wonders do something!!!!!!

You would think the possibility of not being re-elected would take back-seat to pulling in the reins of the psychopath.

1. Call your Senators and demand an answer to the Magic Question...

It works on Dems and Cons alike.

2. The Party is in a terrible shape, but individual Democratic

politicians are more secure now than they have ever been. It is shouted on this board every day: "If you do not vote for the Democrat, it is the same as voting for the Republican!" The "insider" Party leaders now pick and choose who will run as a Democrat and who will not. The Party "leaders" don't want primary contests, this just goes even further in securing their positions. The counter-intuitive fact that the weakness of the party makes individual members more secure is the source of most of the "spinelessness" we see in Democratic "leaders". The only way to change this party is from the outside of this party...

3. even Feingold's goal isn't to "oust Bush"

you might want to, I might want to, but Feingold isn't sure...

http://rawstory.com/news/2006/Full_transcript_Feingold_announces_he_will_0312.html

<snip>

STEPHANOPOULOS: So if you're so convinced -- if you're so convinced -- that the president has broken the law, why not file an article of impeachment?

FEINGOLD: Well, you know, that's an option that we could look at, if somebody thought that was a really good idea.

There are other options out there.

In fact, this conduct is right in the strike zone. Even though the founding fathers, they didn't have strike zones; they didn't have baseball -- but this is right in the strike zone of the concept of high crimes and misdemeanors.

STEPHANOPOULOS: So are you pulling your punch?

FEINGOLD: We have to consider: Is it best for the country to start impeachment proceedings? Is it best for the country to consider removing the president from office?

We're not mandated to impeach a president who has broken the law, but I think we are required to do our job to live up to our oath of office and say, "Wait a minute, there has to be" -- at least as a first step -- "some accountability."
