The question of impeachment is the most popular question listed so far, repeated in endless variations. At this writing it is the question with the most votes.
However, most Democratic politicians dismiss this question in various ways. Before you do that, I'd like you to read http://www.dkosopedia.com/wiki/Framed:_Impeaching_President_Bush_and_Vice_President_Cheney, which lists most of the objections to impeachment and why they are invalid. Please don't tell us an answer that has already been repudiated.
For example, any number of people have said that "It won't happen!" Or, variations thereof. It's nice that these people have an opinion, but an opinion doesn't qualify as fact. In fact, it WILL happen. There, I've said it so it must be true!
Right.
A lot of people think it's too late. It's too near the election and too close to the time for Bush to step down. Take a look at the frame and see if you don't agree that it will never be too late to impeach Bush/Cheney. I don't care if they are cold in their graves, it will not be too late. Because this is about future Presidents and administrations every bit as much as it's about the current one. We cannot afford for them to be unaccountable to the people.
The question behind this is simple: We want you to change your mind. Is there any possibility of that happening or are we wasting our time?
Because, if we are wasting our time, then you are really of no further use to us and we should go on. If your mind is closed and you won't consider what we want, then we need to replace you in November and find someone who will do what we want. Nothing personal, it's just that we can't let you stand in our way of holding admitted, arrogant criminals responsible for their crimes.
Are you willing to reopen this question and put impeachment back on the table, so that we can get to the bottom of what these people have done and hold them accountable for their actions?
