1. S'okay
we'll nail him for war crimes somewhere down the road. Too many dead people with their blood on his hands.

2. I think so too

7. Nixon was immediately pardoned by Ford though for
his crimes....What do you suggest to prevent that in the event of a more immediate impeachment?

8. I want Nuremberg style trials although I draw the line
at the death penalty. Life in prison for each crime consecutively should prevent any of them ever getting out on parole before they die.
It's the least that they deserve.

10. Wouldn't it be terrific
if we could pull that together ourselves? Demonstrate to the world that we still have some sense of justice?

One can only hope.

13. Also, it would prove to the world that these Americans
do not uphold the values of the majority of Americans and that they have been holding our government hostage for their own benefit.

On "Ring of Fire" this afternoon, Bobby Kennedy's co-host, whose name eludes me right now, brought up the whole PNAC idealogy. He compared it as not different in tone to "Mein Kampf". I agree with him.

He brought up the fact that Wolfowitz, Cheney, Kristol et. al. have no impunity presenting that they believe, we have a right to dominate the world for the benefit of the USA, not the world, and I believe not for the majority of Americans either. Hitler had the same ambitions for Germany.

He went on to say what a scary organization it is and that the principles are running our country now.

6. Well, that is a nice thought, but he could very well destroy the ....
...entire earth by that point. Better to get his ass outta there and have him pardoned, but like Nixon, we need to focus on getting Dick Cheney first.

11. Re-post - If Shrub Is NOT Discredited within the Next 3 Yrs
It's about RAYGUN and how the press gave him a free ride. Applies to Shrub.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x3835086

The people who knew him best, Hollywood, pegged him as a B-list bore. But his basic training in delivering memorized lines with some believability snookered the country and certainly the media. And the key point, which is applicable to Shrub, is that because he was not completely discredited WHILE IN OFFICE, the defication process ensues, with the "cute" traits becoming LARGE, while the huge flaws are diminished and trivialized. RAYGUN had impeachable offenses but got away with them. If Shrub isn't clearly, unmistakeably discredited WITHIN THE NEXT 3 YEARS, he will likewise be deified.

This ROBERTS dude looks too young to remember RAYGUN. He certainly doesn't pay attention to the continual snippets that RAYGUN had little if any ability to demonstrate grasping of concepts, that his supposed witticism were regurgitated lines from anybody's movies. The country wanted to hear somebody talking convincingly in B-movie language. Same how they like to hear Shrub talk in basic B-movie cowboy talk.

As for this revisionist deification that ROBERTS swallowed whole, it's like Tweety claiming that RAYGUN would give money to individuals with a hard luck story, while (HE claims) Liberals claim to like people IN GENERAL but won't give money out of their pockets. It's Reverand WEEMS crap. Whenever Tweety tells that story, somebody needs to say, "Show me a list of the NAMES of ANY person RAYGUN gave money to." RAYGUN and Nancy raked in millions in gifts and in-kind for personal appearances throughout their fading Hollywood careers.

14. Not only that many actors of that era didn't like him as
President of the Screen Actors Guild (a union) because he gave away the store to the fat cat studios at the expense of the actors he was supposed to represent. Sounds like a corporatist Republican doesn't he?

12. Being drawn and quartered in a televised execution
would be a neat conclusion, certainly fitting based on the magnitude of the crimes committed, and would be awesome for Faux's ratings. It also might have a certain deterrence effect.:)

15. ***2006 *** Impeach Bush & Cheney; President Pelosi in 2006


http://impeachcentral.com /

ImpeachCentral.com is dedicated to the impeachment of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney for violating the Constitution of the United States.

While the Bush administration has violated the Constitution on numerous occasions (http://www.democrats.com/impeachment-reasons), in May 2005 we decided to focus on the lies they told the American people and Congress which led us into the disastrous Iraq War.

These lies were revealed on May 1, 2005 when the Times of London (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2087-1592724,00.html)published the secret "Downing Street Memo," (http://downingstreetmemo.com /) the minutes of a meeting of Prime Minister Tony Blair's inner circle on July 23, 2002, which took place 8 months before George Bush told Congress and the American people that he was going to invade Iraq.

<snip>

Constitutional scholar John Bonifaz has written a Resolution of Inquiry which states:

Whereas considerable evidence has emerged that George W. Bush, President of the United States, has engaged in a conspiracy to deceive and mislead the United States Congress and the American people as to the basis for taking the nation into war against Iraq, that George W. Bush, President of the United States, has manipulated intelligence so as to allege falsely a national security threat posed to the United States by Iraq, and that George W. Bush, President of the United States, has committed a felony by submitting a false report to the United States Congress on the reasons for launching a first-strike invasion of Iraq:

Now, therefore, be it Resolved, That the Committee on the Judiciary is directed to investigate and report to the House of Representatives whether sufficient grounds exist to impeach George W. Bush, President of the United States. Upon completion of such investigation, that Committee shall report thereto, including, if the Committee so determines, articles of impeachment.

Let's elect a Democratic Congress in 2006, impeach the bastards and we'll have...

President Pelosi in 2006!!!



Flash: GOP Swept from Power in 2006;
Impeachment Looms

By Bernard Weiner and Ernest Partridge
Co-Editors, The Crisis Papers
May 31, 2005

(Associated Press, Nov. 8, 2006) The Democrats didn't waste any time after their landslide victory in Tuesday's midterm election that put them in charge, with huge margins in both the House and Senate.

The incoming Democratic chairs of the various investigatory committees announced that subpoenas would be going out immediately to the White House for all documents relating to when and how the decision to attack Iraq was made; to how far up the chain of command the authorization for torture went; and whether Bush and Cheney and/or their subordinates lied to the Congress and the American People. Congressional committees also will be on the lookout for evidence of Administration involvement in war crimes, bribery and election fraud, Democratic officials said.

It is expected that bills of impeachment will be filed shortly thereafter against both President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney.

If both Bush and Cheney are removed from office, the new Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, would become the President, as stipulated in the Presidential Succession Act of 1947; she would nominate a Vice President for approval by the Senate.

17. Well, it'd have to be 2007
And we'd have to win every Senate race... but we can dream I guess. ;)

16. Realistic
Impeachment can't realistically happen until after Dems achieve majority in the House at the midterms. So that puts things into 2007, at minimum. So your request will likely be the way it would come to pass.

But if both Bush and Cheney are impeached and removed from office and Dems have majority in the House (which is probably necessary if there's to be an impeachment) then Speaker of the House becomes the President by the law of succession. That would most likely be Nancy Pelosi.

19. One other point
We'd need 67 Democrats in the Senate. And, realistically, people like Lieberman wouldn't dare throw their buddies out of office.


I'd say it's nearly impossible. Even if we were able to impeach them, they wouldn't ever be booted out.

23. We can't be sure of that.
I remain hopeful that the 'Murcan public will rise up and be counted on this. That's what happened in 1974 when Goldwater and other Republican Senators walked into the Oval Office and told Nixon that he likely wouldn't have the votes in the Senate to fight off removal from office.

I realize that things are a bit more partisan these days. But there are sufficient GOP moderates to make a 2/3 if the Dems take a few seats back. A lot can change between now and 2006.

We know that Bush isn't going to change course, so it's likely to get worse for him before it gets better. Timing may be crucial. The GOP will bury themselves some time before the midterms, and then make a change to try to pull themselves back up. What the Dems do at that time may be crucial. Hopefully, there will be some help from the media, but I don't think Dems should plan on that.

24. Recall the Congress
http://www.recallthecongress.com/



To impeach George Bush for war crimes and covertly implementing PNAC, we have to get a handle on our congress men and women.

This website is created to organize local state efforts to petition the Secretary of State or other official of each state in which laws have been established for the recall process of public officials. There are 26 states in which such laws have been established leaving 24 states in which an effort is required to petition the state legislature for enactment of such a law or alternatively where the initiative has been made law to use that vehicle to bring each state of the nation into a parity of power of its citizens to control the Federal government.

OBJECTIVES OF WE THE PEOPLE

1. To kick George W. Bush out of office, send him packing to Crawford Texas and to seek his future trial for war crimes in the docks of the International Court of Criminal Justice. To this add Dick Cheney and his rogue companions.
2. That We the People gain control over the Senate and House of Representatives whereby they are bound to perform according to their commitments to We the People or get booted out of office by state court upon complaint of We the People.
3. To teach the President and the Congress that We the People own America and the government and that every person in each of those entities is in our employ and subject to our termination by way of our reserved electoral right of recall.
4. To establish that the right of the people to recall members of the US Senate or the House of Representatives is a right not prohibited within the Constitution and is thus reserved to the electors of the States contrary to common myth.
5. To firmly establish the right of We the People to veto any acts of the Congress within 48 hours of passage which veto is final and cannot be overridden by the Congress.
6. To establish by use of the recall that We the People are the backbone of our government, not its vassals and that the government must respond to the will of We the People.
7. Not the last and not the least is that we must re-establish fiscal responsibility to this nation which is heading for bankruptcy under the present administration with the aid and assistance of our congressional delegates.

20. Who will be around to pardon him if he's impeached earlier?
If he's impeached there will be a whole bunch of rolling heads, his entire cabinet, right?

22. I would think so
I would think his whole administration would be impeached. Even Karl Rove. They're all guilty of war crimes.

25. I don't think he will ever get impeached
I also think however, that if he was impeached, he would get a pardon from whoever is President. I doubt a President will ever be put in jail with all the power he will have gained in becoming President. Of course this is why I think all Presidents are corrupt.
