  •  I think you over estimate what they've "heard". (1+ / 0-)

    Just because it got on the news for a breif moment doesn't mean they saw it or understood it.  Impeachment hearings would bring a whole different set of eyes to it.

    And yeah, the economy isn't working for most of us.  Many are working like dogs just to tread water.  Those people normally don't have time to keep their head up and pay attention.  Again, impeachment hearings will change that.  They'd even prempt American Idol!  Okay, maybe I'm getting carried away ...

    IMPEACH=Rock+Hard Place! Let every Rethug either publicly support the least popular president in 30 years, or admit their president is a traitor.

    •  LOL. (0+ / 0-)

      Preempt American Idol?:)  Now THAT would be a feat.

      I think there's a lot of generalized dissatisfaction with Bushco in the general public.  But, think about this (in the poll linked above): 77% people think we're screwed in Iraq; only 40% want to get our asses out.  People like to stew in their disappointments, but won't necessarily do anything about it.  Including picking up their phones.

      As for an impeachment trial: are they going to include Gitmo, torture, DOJ firings, war profiteering, lying about the Iraq intelligence, failures in prosecuting the war, etc.  A trial to include all those things would take 50 years.  The Senate would have to choose one issue (abuse of power, say) and hammer it home.  But I don't see the public being moved enough to call R Senators.  It's sad, but I don't see it.  

      Small varmints, if you will.

        Otherwise we've already lost.  And that I cannot accept.

        •  Sadly, I think we're losing. (0+ / 0-)

          It wasn't bad enough that the SC interfered on Bush's behalf.  We had four solid years of a Republican Congressional majority that not only refused to carry out oversight, but attacked and threatened the judiciary at every turn.  Not to mention the corruption at every turn.  Not to mention the artful destruction of the DOJ and other federal agencies. Oh, and a couple of failing wars were commenced.

          What did America do in 04?  Relected the same clowns, with a popular majority to boot.  It took two more years for Americans to get pissed off.  Even now, Americans think the war in Iraq is a disaster, but aren't demanding withdrawal.

          Doesn't look promising to me.
