Impeach Bush and you get Cheney. I don't suppose you could impeach both of them at the same time?

Of course how it was originally supposed to be was that the President was the candidate who came first, and the Vice-President was the one who came second.

Did Waxman mention anything about anti-constutional abomininations? Like the PATRIOT Act. Don't forget, folks, you are now a "domestic terrorist" if you break a law. And if you are "suspected" of terrorism, you can be legally disappeared. If the above is the extent of what Waxman said, then he didn't touch on the destruction of our constitutional rights.

Both parties want that "right to arrest anybody" in place. And that's the FIRST thing that needs to be repealed. If no serious Democratic repeal process begins this week, make it your goal to buy a gun next weekend.

It doesn't work that way McGrath. You can't impeach two people at once. Each person who is impeached is first investigated as an individual by the House Judiciary Committee, where hearings are held. If that committee passes an impeachment resolution and accompanying articles, it goes to the full House for a vote. It requires a simple majority to impeach.

The resolution and articles are then handed up to the Senate, who tries the person being impeached. The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court presides over the trial, and rules on points of law, evidence, etc. At the beginning he swears in all 100 senators, who serve as the jury.

House managers act as prosecutors in the Senate part of the trial. House managers during the Clinton trial were all Republican members of the House Judiciary Committee, lead by Rep Henry Hyde, then Chair of the committee.

Conviction requires approval by a 2/3 majority of the Senators present at the time the vote is called. If convicted on any article, the person is considered immediately removed from their office, without any further vote.

The Democrats didn't pull a miracle out of their pocket. Millions of conservatives voted against the treason, mass murder and theft, and we want Bush and his pack of hyenas in a cage in a courtroom. Yesterday. You people made promises. Pussy-foot around and the Dems will be out quicker than Gore could say "assault weapons ban." The only way to save the U.S. is to rid it of the traitors within. Unfortunately, the US Senate voted 100-0 to take away your habeas corpus, so where the hell do you begin? Impeachment won't work. The ballot box is 2 years away. So we need trials. And start with the head of the snake. The Dems need to pressure federal judges to charge the Bush Administration with high crimes. They've committed a thousand I could list, and any atty in Washington could make a list ten times longer. Big, ugly show trials. Not blowjob trials, but Nuremberg trials. Now. Pelosi looks like she's on her way out, because she can't deal with this kind of heat. The Bushes are going to whack a lot of Democrats before the trials start, so get ready for it. You people wanted the job, it's yours. If you dick around and get diverted by gay rights and baby seals, you will die in concentration camps. Deal with the Bush crime cabal now. There's time for the other stuff later. Pelosi's GONE because tens of millions feel like this. You'd better get focused.

No hangings in the morning, no matter how much you lust after them. The new Congress isn't even in session yet and won't be for a couple of months. You don't know what's in the works, and those who are going to see that justice is done aren't going to run up and down the streets of the nation proclaiming their intentions through a bull-horn.

Hi Mick, you know I'm in England. You don't know I've been busy. You don't know that I have also said that the people of England should have taken up arms against Thatcher as the Irish did against several English governments (although I hope only against legitimate targets).

But you and other "Second Amendment" (is that the right amendment?) junkies have stepped into the little trap I was laying for you. Do you really think that hunting rifles, less effective than the arms fighters against the US and US puppet regimes in Afghanistan, Iraq, and the Eastern Meditteranean have will be much use against the proponents of "Shock and Awe"? The "right to bear arms" (for the supposedly legitimate purpose of resisting an overweening government) has become a total irrelevance.

The Democrats will not amend the laws already on the books for government wiretapping. Nor will they enforce them through oversight.

What will they do?

They will position themselves as best they can for the 2008 election campaign, and handle the Bush administration with kid gloves.

First off, I never suggested that I keep arms to take them up against my government. Second, you don't know what arms I have. As far as you know they could be anything from a 22 caliber rifle to full auto assault weapons. Finally, if you were really the intellectual that you pretend to be, you would note that I wasn't advocating armed rebellion in the post above, rather I was baiting the person who talks radical, but really isn't. That is where you jumped in. I will say to you what I said to her. It is easy to advocate violence when you aren't the one who is going to have to carry it out, and have violence committed on you.

C'mon back with better than your last post. I have come to expect better of you.

GUEST, MM says:

"The Democrats will not repeal the Patriot Act."


This summer, the Patriot act came up for re-authorization. Did the Democrats block it? Did they all join hands and vote against it? Here is what the Socialist-run web sight The Guardian has to say:


"When the key vote came Thursday, Feingold found he was not entirely alone. Along with Vermont Independent Jim Jeffords, eight Democrats joined Feingold in voting "no" to reauthorization. The eight were:

Hawaii's Daniel Akaka
New Mexico's Jeff Bingaman
West Virginia's Robert Byrd
Iowa's Tom Harkin
Vermont's Patrick Leahy
Michigan's Carl Levin
Washington's Patty Murray
Oregon's Ron Wyden.

While Feingold was not on his own this time, the vote was still lopsided -- 89-10 to renew and extend expiring portions of the Patriot Act, with Hawaii Democrat Dan Inouye not voting. Despite earlier talk...all Republicans and the vast majority of Senate Democrats sided with the Bush White House in favor of legislation..."

I developed an antipathy to Pelosi a few years back when it looked like the Democrats couldn't gain the courage of their convictions, so had taken on Rep's convictions and couldn't even gain courage there. BUT (US television magazine show) Sixty Minutes did a very nice profile of her the Sunday before the election and turned me right around. A hell of a dame!

The election has been a step in the right direction, but we've got a long way to go to make things better and topple W in '08.

Uh, Robo---W will be gone in 2008--even if we don't lift a finger. Cheney has said he won't run--and after the investigations of him, that will be a moot point. Rove has no chance. As of 2009, the whole W mafia will be gone. Then history can finish trashing them.

(But it is certainly true that there are some unappetizing choices on the Republican side--though McCain still makes a good bit of sense--and probably has more integrity than anybody who's occupied the Oval Office for decades or longer. It will be interesting to see just how much of a diehard he stays on "winning" in Iraq.)

Of course his hardest task will be surviving his own primaries--which is why he's tacking to the Right now.

But you can bet that anybody with his background knows what war is--and will only get involved in one for good reason.

Bush needs to leave office under indictment. If he gets away without having to answer for the criminal legislation his administration has put into place, all future presidents will have dictatorial powers. The whole leader-state that has been erected while he's been in office needs to be brought down WHILE HE IS IN POWER, or it will be transferred, and then it will be virtually impossible to reverse.

Due process? You can't use that as an argument any more. The Military Commissions Act and Warner's Defense Appropriations bill did away with courts and habeas corpus. If you argue due process now, you're aruging in favor of disappearing people (as the Bush crowd did so well in Central America a few years ago), and you're arguing in favor of torturing people to death.

I guess you flaming liberals think the world has suddenly changed because some Democrats got into office. Nothing's changed except a few bosses. But the Dems are notorious for being thugs, so they'll get along well with the uber-thugs of the Bush crime family.

Unfortunately our leaders were easy to convince Each wanting part of the reflected glory of the "Liberation". The electorate in France, Germany ,Spain, Italy and even Britain were never convinced by the lies.

Mick is not only wrong but deluded, if he believes the members of this forum ignore the posts of Guest. I for one always read and respect the writing of this poster. He/she hits hard and often, the posts are eloquent and well researched. Whether one agrees or disagrees with the sentiments expressed, this is one poster who can't be ignored.
Without folk like this the BS section would be bland and uninteresting.

There is something pathetic about people of our age who never question why things never turn out as we would like them to and continually blame the labels for our political misery.

I've been a radical all my life, seen the tricks played by the politicians and made plenty of mistakes,but at this stage of my life, I KNOW for sure that sticking our heads in the sand and hoping something good evolves from the Capitalist status quo is self-delusion on the grand scale.

I say three cheers for GUEST!!   we're lucky to have such an original mind in our group.......and fuck all who support warmongers whether they be "Pubs" OR "Dems"......Ake

Wow, thanks akenaton.

It's refreshing to see someone who sees through the BS of this handful of Mudcat Dems, to stand up and say the emperor has no clothes.

They (Don Firth, et al) seem to think they are the sole purveyors of truth around here, and that none of us need think for ourselves, exchange ideas, argue and defend our opinions, because they already have all the answers: the ones they are given by the Democratic party spinners through the filter of corporate media.

Funny ole world, ain't it?

GUEST,MM, why do you single me out to name? Apparently you haven't been paying attention to quite a number of things I've written here. Among other things, where I said the following:
"I am not now, nor have I ever been a member of the Democratic Party. I am not now, nor have I ever been a member of any political party. You assume I am a Democrat, and you are wrong. And you're just as wrong about a lot of people here.

"As an independent (not a member of 'the Independent Party, I am truly independent), I can communicate meaningfully with all political parties, and since they're all courting independent voters, they tend to listen to them, often more closely than to their own confirmed members. I think a lot of the smarter, more politically astute people here are doing exactly as I am doing."
I hear people like you yelling "Off with their heads!" and offering damned little in the way of practical, strategic politics.

I am no "party loyalist" as you and your anonymous cohorts keep insisting. I want to see the various members of the Bush administration--and others--get their come-uppance. But I'm far more interested in getting this illegal war stopped, this idiotic and ominous hacking away at our rights in the name of a spurious "war on terrorism" reversed, and get the country back on track and see if we can win back some of the international respect we like to think we had before the freakin' American Imperialists took over.

Right now, the Democrats are our best hope of at least slowing the present downhill slide. If not them, then who?   What WE need to do is stay on their backs and demand that they fulfill their promises—make sure they actually do what they say they're going to do.

All I've heard out of you lot is a chorus of moaning about how rotten the Democrats are and how we're all doomed. Not much practical help.

Apart from sharpening and oiling up the guillotine, if you have anything resembling a plan, then let's hear it.

Don Firth

Gentlemen, may I suggest that everyone take a deep breath and THINK?

1) The Democrats are not yet calling the shots.
2) Investigations into various people WILL take place.
3) It is therefore aerly for the shit to hit the fan.

Have a very nice evening, all.

Yes Don, I'm aware you claim to be a non-party affiliated independent. But if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and waddles like a duck, I call it a duck.

And your penchant for demonizing political independents to your left as "bombthrowers" (as you so love to do with me) is pure demagoguery.
