Warning to Congressional Democrats: Don't Treat Impeachment Advocates Like Idiots
Submitted by Bob Fertik on February 26, 2007 - 10:21pm.ImpeachForChange

Seattle Times' David Postman reports:

Sen. Patty Murray and Congressman Jay Inslee are lobbying legislators to cancel this week's hearing on a resolution calling on Congress to investigate and consider impeaching President George Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney. Inslee and Murray, both Democrats who voted against the war, think state lawmakers holding hearings and voting on impeachment is a distraction from what Democrats are doing in Congress, including their efforts to end the war.

Murray spokeswoman Alex Glass confirmed that Murray told Senate Majority Leader Lisa Brown last week that the impeachment resolution was a bad idea:

"Senator Murray's message was, 'I have two words for anyone who wants to impeach the President: Dick Cheney.'"

Senator Murray, do you really think you can dismiss the profound and passionate outrage of a solid and growing majority of Americans with two words?

The impeachment movement has been mobilizing since May 1, 2005, when the Times of London published the Downing Street Memos and proved what we all suspected: that the pre-war intelligence was "fixed" by George Bush and Dick Cheney in a deliberate campaign of lies to sell an illegal and insane war.

Since then, we have written and read hundreds of articles and a shelf full of books, including many by Watergate veterans like Liz Holtzman and John Dean. We have held hundreds of hearings, including several with leading Members of Congress like John Conyers. We have spent countless hours collecting petitions and lobbying our Representatives.

And along the way we have heard every possible argument against impeachment - and answered each one with even more powerful arguments for impeachment. Senator Murray, have you spoken with a single impeachment advocate?

7. Talk About Idiotic. What Does She Think We Have Right Now ?!?
Does she think at all? Do any of them? Reid has himself under the same delusional mantra.

Everything else is the distraction, LieberDems! Get it?

On the plus side, sometimes they actually have to vocalize these bizarre ideas in order to realize just how ridiculous they sound. (Yes, it's really that pathetic among the beltway-bound boobs.)

It can occassionally get them to stop rationalizing, and to start doing.

Only Impeachment ... is actually DOING.

It's the only thing that makes any sense on any level - moral, logical, political, historical, electoral -- you name it. (That is, if one's not mired in the Beltway Bedlam Blather Bubble.)

It is our ONLY meaningful option.
