PAX BUSHICA
The Salt Lake Tribune today, March 31, reveals that Pax Bushica intends to stay, as all colonial imperialists intend (see, Germany’s 1000-year Reich), forever. See, “Bush Pushes long-term role to aid Iraq stability.” In other words, we want their oil, forever. What do we not get about international criminals, serial-killers in our name, killing each other in the Mid-East to “gain the peace?” Can a batch of serial killers ever, reallly, bring the peace? Ends and means, anyone? Never mind the cost in other parents’ kids. Murder Inc. was far far less deadly than the Bush White HOuse. Isn’t it about time to impeach the President, the Vice Pressident, Mr. Gonzales, et al, and send Wolfowitz and Rumsfeld to prison?

It’s way past time to impeach. What’s the delay? Must have something to do with all the PROFITS.

I agree. But in one sense there is no delay. the impeachment bills have been dropped in the hopper of the House. Several have done this. Subpoenas have been issued, by the bundle. that’s what the last Congressional election was all about. I mean 100%. Both sides knew this. The majorithy party has the votes in committee, particularly the judiciary committee, to demand “persons and papers.” This is exactly where impeachment process goes. Now, persons and papers have been demanded. And the Bushies are putting up the walls, destroying documents by the bundle, and fully intend to stonewall to the bitter end of this disastrous presidency. And they’ll probably succeed. But we must stand tall (to my full 5′6”), bear witness, and keep subpoenas going out. God knows how many smoking guns have gone up in smoke. Thousands. But the rule of law, such as it is, is winding its particular way. Stay tuned. ef xoxo

Perhaps they’d like for us to believe that the rule of law doesn’t apply to ‘them’.
It has been very up and down, you must admit.

I guess all of us yearn for somebody else to step in and make things right. I think Al Gore is a visionary guy with a lot of bright ideas and good intentions, but I couldn’t believe his answer when asked on the “PBS News Hour” if he supported impeachment. He said that nobody was calling for it and it would be a waste of time.
Bull!
We need redemption, or at least as much redemption as is possible at this point. When you consider the fact that an impeachment of Bush and the others would help every good cause being fought for in the country on top of that, it’s simply insane to take it “off the table!”

Prison? No fair, I yearn for more.
Let’s make it public for old times sake.

With President Bush’s attempt to foist an illegal alien amnesty bill upon us, and his recent flip flop on global warming, I may just have to break out an impeach Bush bumper sticker myself.

Ken:
What about illegal torture, illegal wiretapping, illegal election theft, illegal, (treasonous, by Georges fathers account), outing of a CIA agent, illegal drug use in the 70’s, (I’ll admit to illegal, (albeit, unconstitutionally illegal, drug use), myself), and illegal subjugation of the constitution of the United States?
Ken?
