Dick Cheney’s statement is beyond outrageous. It’s the strict equivalent of a mass murderer blaming the parents of his own victims for their deaths. Bush and Cheney plunged this nation into war through willful deliberate fabrication of false evidence, through the suppression of exculpatory evidence, and are single handedly responsible for ANY outcome, whether they are in power or not. Their actions were not “misguided”, their actions were not “mistakes”, but as sure as the arsonist who puts the match to the gasoline puddle, their actions were deliberate crimes and the ultimate effect of those actions can belong to no one else; this is as outrageous as the aforementioned arsonist claiming city hall will be to blame if the out of control fire they started continues it’s destructive rampage as the arsonist insists upon directing the operations supposedly to put it out. It is THAT absurd, and yet here we have the Senate majority leader responding, nearly crying really, that he’s “being attacked”.
There came a point at which any failure to remove Bush/Cheney from command ceased being an option, and became an imperative, the failure of which to undertake to protect the Republic, became criminal. That day has twice passed; first under the criminally complicit GOP who lead the way into hell, and secondly, the second day that the so-called opposition party took power and not only failed to produce articles of impeachment, but actually refused to undertake it. This is criminal complicity. The motive does not have to be guessed at, for they have openly stated that they do not intend to pursue impeachment because they believe they can increase their political capitol and chances to win the White House in 2008. This is both treasonous conduct for the worst of motives, and dead wrong. The majority of the American people have never held much respect for the Democratic party; it took a disaster and crimes of the proportions generated by the Bush administration to finally return them to a majority party, unarguably on the sheer desperation of the American people’s unwillingness to endure the Bush administration and it’s ruinous actions and corruption another day. Note this Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi: If you believe you can drag this national nightmare out on the bodies of our children, to the continued decimation of our military, and endless death in Iraq and continued despair of the American people as you “increase your chances at the White House”, you are as delusional, corrupt, and criminal as Bush and Cheney are. The ONLY way you “own” the results in Iraq, is if you allow this to continue. You have, and at this point, if you fail to act, you will indeed own the outcome, for you will have endorsed Bush's actions by default.
This is to those who knew better and who KNOW better in congress, and yet who still stand by in silence and agreement with Pelosi’s outrageous and unconstitutional declaration that “impeachment is off the table”: Not only will I not vote for any of the Democrats who’ve refused to stand and to save us from this maggot, this traitor, but if you don’t act now and do what the Constitution requires you do with a rogue, criminal President, I am prepared to vote against EVERY Democrat, no matter who they are. I am prepared to punish every single one of you, even the better, along with the worse. You had better wake the fuck up and realize that Pelosi not only had no right to make that statement, but that you are going pay a very heavy price for allowing it to stand. I will not take part in this. If you do not stand and fulfill your constitutional obligations to this nation by removing George W. Bush and Dick Cheney from office, I will not participate rewarding you with either a majority in congress again, or the Presidency if I can help it. You had better start screaming and fighting tooth and nail, and soon. I would begin with voting for a new majority leader in both houses.

The Dem Party weasels protecting Bush-Cheney should ALSO
be removed from office & prosecuted. They are obstructors of justice, & wholly complicit in the massive crimes against the Constitution. The treason & war crimes have been a completely "bipartisan" project. The fact that Republicans have played the more visible starring role in these crimes doesn't mitigate the fact that without the Democrats' support and complicity, the R's could never have pulled it off. The unpleasant truth is that the whole lot of them deserve the same fate that was meted out at Nuremberg. It's not just Republicans -- it's also most of the Democrats, and most of the MSM as well. Not just the overtly fascist Fox News, but also the warmongers at the NYT & WaPo, who have provided support & cover for the chief criminals every step of the way. by Richard Mynick (2 articles, 4 quicklinks, 1 diaries, 1552 comments [255 recommended, 5 rejected]) on Wednesday, Apr 25, 2007 at 10:57:11 AM  (0+)

Duty to Impeach
There has never been an executive duo more deserving of Impeachment then George W. Bush & Dick Cheney. They have sponsored a campaign to deceive Congress and "We The People" not only into an illegal War of aggression, but they have systematically embarked on a campaign to shred the very Constitution that they took an oath to defend. There is strong evidence of unethical if not illegal behavior by multiple staffers and appointees who carry out the wishes of these two executives. I agree with the premise of Maj. Gen. Smedley Butlers book "WAR IS A RACKET" and these two have exploited every facet of that Racket. Maj. Gen. Butler contends that as long as a few can make huge profits from War then we will be subject to continual War. Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler was a two time Medal of Honor Recipient and is well known by all United States Marines. Our servicemen and women are dying in Iraq so that private oil companies can obtain rights to Iraqi oil. The American taxpayer is not only financing this quest for private profit, but also paying extremely high costs for this energy at home. We are being robbed by those whose oath means nothing to them. Impeachment is the only answer. It is the duty of those who honor the oath they have taken. by Sleeper (1 articles, 1 quicklinks, 15 diaries, 312 comments [6 recommended, 0 rejected]) on Wednesday, Apr 25, 2007 at 11:14:48 AM (0+)

Throwing out the baby with the bath water
The end game of the Iraq war is an opportunity to build national unity and democracy through grass roots efforts. Demonstrating that the checks and balances inherent in our system work and that the Congress and people working together can override and control an incompetent President is an important precedent to set. Iimpeachment is merely another instance of abandoning people power and letting the politicians in Washington control our lives. President Bush has consistently failed to lead. Although his failure is frustrating and dangerous, it is not illegal. Mere incompetence is not an impeachable offence. It is time for the American people to forget Bush, and to support the Congress in devising an acceptable strategy for withdrawal from Iraq. The important things are to get our boys out, show that our political system works and to help the Iraqis repair the destruction we have wrought on them. by Robert Chapman (28 articles, 0 quicklinks, 2 diaries, 556 comments) on Wednesday, Apr 25, 2007 at 7:10:16 PM (0+)

Reply: You are pathetic.

It's a complete inversion of reality: An overwhelming majority of Democrats want Bush and Cheney impeached, and it is in fact "the politicians in Washington", gutless, craven, and willing to sacrifice the fate of the nation for "political gain" who are obfuscating the will of the people. WHAT PLANET, WHAT BUBBLE DO YOU RESIDE IN? rchapman "President Bush has consistently failed to lead. Although his failure is frustrating and dangerous, it is not illegal. Mere incompetence is not an impeachable offence." ESBE: You're either the biggest idiot ever to post here, or a damn liar. Bush has commited war crimes. His entire claim to "unitary executive" power is a crime against the Constitution, as well as a violation of his oath of office. A war of aggression based on lies, torture, illegal threats against Iran, the list is ENDLESS and constitute the most serious crimes ever commited by a US president. rchapman "It is time for the American people to forget Bush, and to support the Congress in devising an acceptable strategy for withdrawal from Iraq." ESBE: "Forget Bush"? Jesus, where do they find people like you! Tell that to three thousand families who had their sons and daughters slaughtered on deliberate false evidence. rchapman "The important things are to get our boys out, show that our political system works and to help the Iraqis repair the destruction we have wrought on them. by Esbe (50 articles, 0 quicklinks, 17 diaries, 85 comments) on Wednesday, Apr 25, 2007 at 8:46:01 PM (0+)
