Thank you for answering. This is not about what I think; I want to hear DUer's views on why we're stuck in a quagmire of non-change, when there is nothing to fear about it, and everything to gain, IMO.
I believe that the republicans have been conditioning us with constant fear and the concept that to change anything would be to make things worse, or vulnerable to becoming worse. While they siphon the Treasury and make laws turning corporations into overlords, and manipulate international markets resulting in the rising cost of oil and the falling value of the dollar.
I think that yes, people want impeachment for the ludicrous number of crimes that have been committed against our country, and that continue to occur. We need immediate regime change to stop them from continuing to pass laws that favor them and damage us.
Indeed, there are no quick fixes, especially when so many aspects of the country have been corrupted and privatized. We must fully address each and every item, bar none, as well as supporting progressive organizations. The functional models of other countries are a very good idea/source for inspiration. I like how Vaclav Havel helped move his country from fascism to freedom, for example. Apropos.
Standing firm allows them to continue to pass laws that damage the country, take the lives of our young people in an illegal invasion that supports the manipulation of the oil market to our disadvantage, and the continued weakening of the Treasury to perilous levels for the benefit of the few rich. IMO, the parasites will leave a corpse if we don't remove them. The downward trend is too alarming. How will we refill the treasury? New taxes? Those are two extremely dangerous words for any Democratic President who is faced with the mess BushCo have left behind. If we stop the siphon now, we stand a chance of "natural" economic recovery.
Yes, Kucinich IS a centrist. Good point :)
Thank you for your thoughts and ideas. There are many things that we need to do, and keeping them in mind and in conversation is a good idea, and should lead to us expecting them from those representing us.
