So, I checked my hot list to find the following response to a comment of mine lamenting the threatened challenge to Nancy Pelosi by Cindy Sheehan...
Well write a diary about it, JeffLieber.
Your last diary got 1 recc.
If you want to see something pathetic, take another look at your last diary.
If one wants to be LOVED on DKos these days all one has to do is pop the word IMPEACHMENT into the title of a diary, add a healthy dose of "we know better then those damn elected lazy stupid cynical officials" and then top it off with a poll which follows the following format...
A) We should impeach the President and Vice President, then strip them naked, cover them in honey, and let bears attack.
B) We should impeach the President and Vice President, then strip them naked, cover them in meat, and let dogs attack.
C) We should impeach the President and Vice President, then strip them naked, drop them in the Amazon, and let piranha attack.
D) We should do nothing because you don't support impeachment and are therefore a fucking asshole who clearly doesn't care about the Constitution and hates America.
Done.
Loved.
Sleep well knowing you are in the channel.
Wait. Sorry. You still here?
Cause... well... question.
Is being LOVED the point of DKOS?
I mean... is this really high school?
Because in the end, I oppose Impeachement until conviction and removal is certain, because I believe attempting to impeach the President and Vice President and failing is the ONLY POSSIBLE SCENARIO in which the war rages on past the middle to end of 2009.
I think impeachment without conviction and removal is the like a life jacket, thrown to th Republican party at the last second, to allow them to run in 2008 on the mistaken, but effective tactic, that the Democratic party is playing retribution games for Bill Clinton and that the Democratic party, knowing that the votes don't exist, is eager for a partisan stunt akin to a political coup.
And I believe impeachment without conviction and removal has the possiblity of further delaying the restoration of an America we know and love, because it allows the Republican party to RUN ON IMPEACHMENT instead of having to RUN AWAY FROM the many indignities that have us all so angry.
But I digress, because DKOS is not about trying to strategize and elect and commune and comisserate, it's about getting a lot of people to your party on Saturday night.
So...
IMPEACH!
