I awoke to the McKinney news today (was actually awoken by a phone call) after going to bed in a deep depression. Just last night the Progressive Caucus of the California Democratic Party allowed fear to trump their principles. While almost all of our members believe Bush has committed crimes they backed down from including Impeachment as one of our planks. Instead they used the watered down language of "investigation" so as not to trouble our elders. Despite the fact that a majority of Democrats favor impeachment, the "Progressive" voice in California could only muster a meek wimper. I wonder if they would all vote for it if McKinney had introduced Articles of Investigation? - PhDiva Sat, 09 Dec 2006 17:06:46 +0100 http://atlanticfreepress.com/news/1/408-the-best-reasons-not-to-impeach-and-why-theyre-wrong.html#comment-293 neutered, defrocked, spit on, and turned to putty are just a few of the things one can say about our congress . . . they have all the power of the legislatures in China, Cuba, Iraq, and those funny "stan" countries . . . like Pakistan and Kazakstan; you know. Too late darlings; democracy died in America in December of 2000 when the judicial handed its power to the executive in waiting, and they wiped out the checks and balances of the congress in one fell swoop. Sure, they can make laws, but who will enforce them? no one. And any laws the executive can't end run will be made unconstitutional by the criminally corrupt supremely unlawful supreme court of the US. Don't worry about impeaching this bunch; worry that they will cancel elections and keep power like Mushrat does in Pakistan. - SamSnedegar Sat, 09 Dec 2006 01:45:13 +0100 http://atlanticfreepress.com/news/1/408-the-best-reasons-not-to-impeach-and-why-theyre-wrong.html#comment-290 Of course that little tool called Kos who nods with nothing more than testicular gravitas [url=http://www.dailykos.com/story/2006/12/7/133953/102]has performed political fellatio[/url] in order to gain some gears.

For that, I thank you. But Pelosi, Reid and others in the Democratic leadership have rejected impeachment out of hand. Perhaps, then, the more difficult question is "how do we make Congress a responsible body?" The Democrats' speedy acquiescence, with little or no debate, to the Gates nomination is indication of how they will act during the next two years. Congress is as constitutionally culpable as Bush, Cheney, etc., by abdicating their responsibility to declare war and oversee waging it. One can only conclude that Congress is compliant, even conspiratorial in allowing the administration's criminal acts with no opposition or movement toward justice. Since Congress will not indict itself, it will fall to the people to make the changes. Instead of the occasional demonstration, there must be a continuous and, hopefully, escalating non-violent cry for resolution, and even possible referenda pushing Congress to make good and make us whole again. - ddjango Fri, 08 Dec 2006 15:50:32 +0100
