If this community took the energy it expended helping elect all those Democrats to congress this fall and now applied that energy to pressuring congress-people to begin impeachment proceedings, the trial would start very soon. A concerted effort to push congress to impeach BOTH Bush and Cheney is the only topic that matters now. As long as they are in the White House they will undermine every attempt to behave reasonably. Just look at the surge (escalation). The election results didn't matter to them at all. They do what they want.
Impeachment is the only cure. Please appreciate: impeachment means to bring charges against. It is step one. It does not guarantee removal from office. It does guarantee that Bush/Cheney will be hindered from creating more devastion. Impeachment charges will expose all the horrors Bush/Cheney display on their resume; from the war based on lies, the torture doctrines and reckless abandonment of longstanding treaties, to the disgusting treatment of the people of New Orleans after Katrina. It will cover all the topics.
Please reccommend this short diary so IMPEACHMENT gets back in the conversation.
"What about the votes?" you say. These are politicians. They don't do crap until its is clear the public wants it. We have to make it clear. Phone or email your congress person. Impeachment is our only option. CheneyBush will ignore everything else.
