At any occasion where the word "impeachment" is gently offered, the idea is immediately capped by someone saying "Republican House, Republican Senate, never happen."
The recent quip is that Democrats can't get elected and Republicans can't govern.
The manifest failures, atrocities, and offenses to the rest of the world that have been committed by the Bush administration, are real, and reality cannot appear to be dormant but for so long, before it must reassert itself, being reality and all. We are starting to see an increasing volume of proof that once again, Republicans can't govern.
With the DSM, the Bamboozlepalooza failure, America the torturer, and the plummeting poll numbers especially, which are starting of mathematical necessity to have a scale which includes previous GWB supporters among the negatives , the writing on the wall will become increasingly vivid.
The American electorate by a thin margin followed the old stereotype of trying everything else, before finally considering doing the right thing.
Doing the right thing may, by default, be the last course left for the legislators, too.
GOP lawmakers know that Bush can grin his way through with no other election to look forward to. The lawmakers don't have that luxury, and some may start to plot a way out of being left holding the stinking bag that the "Republican ascendancy" has become - re-brand the whole mess with a "W" and head for the hustings as "reform" candidates. Additionally, while an anti-Bush pose won't help those with the most serious ethical problems, those under a lesser taint may hope for some diversion before their lesser sins come under scrutiny.
There will come a tipping point of Republicans abandoning ship with their self-interest stuffed in their jacket, and that is the moment that impeachment could become a true consideration.
How can we help that moment along?
