This week also marked the Senate Straw Poll in Maine showing an Impeachment Candidate, Laurie Dobson, coming in first in the poll by a 54% margin. Although this maddened the pollsters, the results are viewable at newsofmaine.blogspot.com.

Here's the Campaign website for Laurie Dobson, Maine's Independent for US Senate: www.dobsonforsenate.com

While there are a few glimmers of righteous light emitting from areas around the country and a few corners of Washington, I regret to inform those given over completely to hope for a proper impeachment and criminal proceeding against this overtly criminal administration to not crow so loudly about them. My observations since the elections of 2006 has followed a distinct pattern of disappointment. The democratic leadership (AKA DLC lapdogs) has never had an intention of impeachment and the last year and a half has shown this to be true. While I applaud the few who have the integrity to call for impeachment I cannnot have any faith in that that will actually occur any time soon. Maybe in twenty years or so....or maybe in fifty when the truth comes out about the Republican/Fascist faction who were the actual masterminds behind the WTC.

I feel something in the air. I sense a complete rejection of the current administrtion by the people. I'm not confident it's enough though. Democrats need to get serious. You can't "nice" these people. They don't understand words like "Honor" or "Truth". These neo-cons have to be whipped like dogs. It's the only thing they understand. I don't believe the Democrats have it in them. The people are demanding that it be done. Could this be the end of both parties? I pray to God (If there is one). If the Democrats plan to stay, they had better get serious. Americans hate spineless people(at least this one).

Bush and Cheney both have threatened each and every one of us with an event worse than 9-11, Congress included. Isn't that enough? Do we have to wait for something more to happen? Impeach-Indict-Imprison Now

Congressional Democrats have proven over and over they are spineless and cowardly. They aren't going to stand up to Bush-Chaney let alone impeach them. It is we the people that have to stand up if the war criminals are to be vanquished. The effective way is to register working class voters from now until November then turning them out to say bye bye to the party that stole our country 8 years ago. Wasting time and money urging impeachment is not just wrong it's political vanity from the "infantile left". Calling yourself a progressive doesn't make you one. What next, grand strategist, a write-in campaign for Dennis, Ron, Cynthia, or some other. Let's kill 2 birds with one stone: The Dream Ticket for the politically impaired: Ralph Nader and Joe Lieberman. Call it the Treason Party.

When the Democrats let the wire taps end I finally think they understand why they were elected to office. Could this mean America is returning to a constitutional form of government. We can only wait and see.

You can bet that the extreme right wingnut operation will go into action. Bush-believing constituents will be angry as hornets at their representatives. I've written to tell my Democratic representatives I support them. They need to hear from all of us if we are to hope for them continuing to take a stand. Campaign donations with notes attached would help even more.

I appreciate your article David, and I need to weigh in to let you know that time is on our side. In fact the need of contributions for Bush's impeachment are being mailed out in May are they not? They just signed a financial plan to keep the economy from going into recession. My plan is that we solicit the use of those funds to make sure we don't go into a recession and have people contribute the money toward Impeaching Bush and Cheney. If I get a check it is going to you, I promise. 

Here is my latest to Congressman Conyers:

do they? Aren't there any Republicans out there who are outraged by this administration's actions, who feel disgraced and betrayed by all the lies and machinations?
