The argument is not about the election.

The argument for Impeachment is really not about the election, although many would have you believe this.

Obama is not for Impeachment? Then, to be honest, he is worthless as a candidate; and perhaps worthless as a man as well. Period. There is no other defining issue that matters as much as this: Do we allow greed, criminality, deceit, and cynicism to rule us without check...? Do we, through silence and cowardice, "enable" this behavior and allow it to continue in the future? Do we turn our backs on Justice, in the name of expediency?  And do we allow the rest of the world to note this shameful failure?

Or do we decide that we cannot allow this to go on, as the very fabric of our country is being destroyed from within by it.

For look at it this way: "THEY" don't want Impeachment... Badly do not want it. They are even willing to risk exposing all, with their extremely dangerous and easily noticable suppression in the mainstream media, to squash it as much as possible. They risk everything by doing this: Should Impeachment happen, they will be utterly exposed as controlled shills and propagandists... They are like gamblers placing it all on one bet... Knowing that if Impeachment happens, all is lost anyway. So should we do exactly what they want...? Should we pretend it doesn't matter, that getting a Liberal in name only into the White House  is more important than anything else, even more important than acting morally? Should we play into their hands... For an empty victory that is meaningless for any real change?

That is stupid, and in the end, self defeating. An Obama elected after the cleansing and eye-opening national trauma of Impeachment is one thing... An Obama elected because we shamefully shied away from doing the right thing is certainly another.

And once this national debate was over.... The word "neo-con" would only be spoken with derision, distain, and disgust.... Or with pity, for those many people who's world-views were shattered with the final realization that their beloved leaders were really liars, cheats, criminals... And psychopaths who murder for personal gain.

The Vietnam War Is OVER

To allow McCain and the fascist Republican party to continue to use the same insane political dynamic of running against the excesses of the Sixties and be forever tagged as the party of "acid, amnesty and abortion" is not an option. McCain is a self-admitted "war criminal" and he said as much for a 60 Minutes interview in the Nineties back before his infamous "Baghdad is Safe" dog and pony show where he was acompanied by half the freaking army.

The GOP will use their time tested, bread and butter tactic of running against George McGovern and Hanoi Jane until somebody in the progressive/Democratic leadership finally vanquishes this era to the past in which it belongs. More time is going to be wasted while the empire rots and goes bankrupt with ridiculous horseshit - that you can count on. And the body count and debt will continue to pile up and with McCain and the neocons in charge we could even have WW III with us playing the role of the Nazis this time once Israeli warmongers are appeased and Iran is attacked.

I would strongly suggest a move to completely flush the toilet that is the U.S. Congress in 2010 rather than throw too much effort at all behind the garbage that will be on the ticket in November - it's time for a government that respects the rule of law, will impeach, try and if judged guilty execute the war criminals for treason and clean up the fascist media propaganda cesspool.

Don't look for too much change from the progressives and Democrats, they are intent at only building a tower of babel made out of shit and placating their squabbling indentity based groups rather than discarding the failed (but well intentioned) reforms of the Sixties that do not serve the interests of a majority of Americans who are ill served by the current system and are too easily manipulated by the deceitful charlatans who run a rigged game.

In my personal opinion if you seriously want change join the Ron Paul Revolution - they have a functional infrastructure, devoted activists, a true intellectual movement based on ideas, an actual manifesto and a game plan on how to initiate change from the grass roots up while the progressives and Dems are too busy infighting and bitching over which identity based interest group gets a bigger piece of the pie.

Just my two cents
