The war is expanding. No one is trying to stop it. I mean STOP IT. I don't mean diddling with non-binding this'es and slap-o-the-wrist thats and electioneering speeches and all that other tempest in a teapot huffy crap that is the equivalent of a bumper sticker slapped onto a freight train. The war is expanding, growing escalating, increasing, swelling, enlarging: it's getting bigger every day. Impeachment is our last and only option for recovering our constitution and recovering our democracy. All our congressmen swear to uphold it's words. NOWS THE TIME! Who the next Democratic nominee for President will be is irrelevant. It's time to get the impeachment hearings under way.
If you think I am just an aging hippie who's listened to "Imagine" one too many times ready what Paul Craig Roberts, formerly Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in the Reagan administration, Associate Editor of the Wall Street Journal editorial page and Contributing Editor of National Review has to say - excerpts below the fold:
Congress is wasting precious time with non-binding resolutions and debates over cutting off war funding. The Bush Regime is rushing the country into a war and a domestic police state. Writing in Slate, Dahlia Lithwick reports that one of the main goals of the so-called "war on terror" (essentially a propagandistic hoax) is to achieve a massive expansion in unaccountable executive power. This is a long-time goal of VP Cheney and his chief of staff, David Addington. It is also the main goal of the "conservative" Federalist Society, an organization of Republican lawyers from whose membership Republican judicial nominees are drawn.
American public opinion is being manipulated. In the name of protecting "American freedom and democracy," the Bush regime rides roughshod over both as it ignores both the public and Congress and proceeds with a catastrophic policy supported by no one but the Bush Regime and a cabal of power-mad neoconservatives.
Nothing can stop the Regime except the immediate impeachment of Bush and Cheney. This is America's last chance.

The last election was fun for a night. Now we need to see our courageous leaders get things moving. Time is running out. This is the only topic worth discussing right now. You know it's true. Let's flood our congressmen with faxes and emails and telegrams and handwritten letters from our kids and phone calls and march in front of their offices. IMPEACH THEM.
