BUT IT WOULD BE TOO LATE; IT WOULD BE OVER BEFORE IT STARTED
With terms ending for a plurality in Congress and the election suspended, Bush would have his Majority of One to fight the Constitutional crisis.
Would the Demos stand up? Would Repubs hang with their guy? How would Bush’s Department of Justice come down, and if it gets that far, any guesses as to how Bush’s Supreme Court would resolve it?
The answer is another question: How did each of these entities respond to previous power struggles?
Demos have folded like a cheap suitcase, Repubs would follow Bush to Hell and take the country along; Department of Justice is Bush Country and as for the Supreme Court—they were created for just this moment by the Republican Right.
All this adds up to one thing: George W. Bush, President for Life. Believe it or not, there would still be that bedrock twenty per cent of Bush lovers who would say it was just fine if their Clown Prince stayed on.
Despite the popular legend of Paul Revere, we are not a people who can be warned of coming danger to much effect. Think of the people’s response if Paul’s warning had been, “The British might be coming!”
BEST REASON TO IMPEACH
Call it a “Pre-emptive Impeachment,” because there is an imminent threat against our nation from this regime.
They swore to defend and protect the Constitution—they have dismembered it.
So, Go ahead and Impeach, if nothing else, just as insurance that the current Squatters in the White House don’t decide to stay, and just to make sure they can’t keep using that “piece of paper” we call the Constitution the way Rednecks use an old Sears catalog. ***

There's no secret about who they are. He named them himself. They're the haves and the have-mores. They are the wealthiest and most powerful people in the country.
They own controlling shares in the biggest multinational and defense corporations. He has catered to them almost exclusively. He has appointed people who toady to them as heads of every federal agency. He has cut their taxes. His policies have enabled their stocks to at least double and triple in value every year he's been in office.
And among that elite group, just happen to be all the millionaires and billionaires in Congress.
Impeach him? They'd like to immortalize and enshrine him. Never before have they seen anyone who had their interests so much at heart to the exclusion of everyone else.
Did I mention that they also own and program the central tabulators which, no matter whether the ballots are cast on paper or on machines, tally more than 80% of American votes? That they also own the mainstream media?
I support impeachment. But I know we won't get it until we have some heads on pikes. Not necessarily the entire 19%. Five percent should set a sufficient example to enable the rest to either change their ways or go into exile. But since neither I nor anyone I know happens to own a pike, and most of us aren't young enough, strong enough, and wouldn't know how to wield one if we did, I'm not holding my breath.
