It's time to start talking about the impeachment of Dick Cheney. Apparently for whatever politically expedient reason, the leadership of the House and Senate have put the impeachment of Bunnypants off-limits, but I don't recall that they made any such promises about Darth Dick.
His impeachment would force open every facet of his dealings since day one, since there is (as I understand it) no claim of "Executive Privilege" that can survive and impeachment inquiry. A conviction would not even really be needed, since I suspect that all but his most rabid supporters would be disgusted as hell with the piles of shit he's left on top of everything from the Bill of Rights to his daily dealings with others.
How do we get the Netroots to make this an issue with the presidential aspirants? Talking leads to traction, and this is an issue that needs to be talked about. A lot.
Send him off to enjoy his grandkids (somthing over 3000 American who have died in his NeoCon Folly will not do) and spend his ill-gotten CheneyBurton booty.
Yeah, support our tax cuts errrr...troops. That's always been the mantra of the 1600 Crew. Proof? Check it out.
he Texas congressman who represents President Bush's home district said Saturday that the administration and Republicans put a higher priority on tax cuts than on veterans' health care.
Rep. Chet Edwards, D-Texas, said the House has sent Bush a $64.7 billion spending bill to fund Veterans Affairs. That includes a $6 billion increase for veterans' health care, $3.8 billion more than Bush had requested, Edwards said.
"For weeks, the White House budget office threatened to veto this bill, because it was above their request," Edwards said in the Democrats' weekly radio address.
Got that? A threatened veto because it was "above" some arbitrary spending number that the most deficit-prone Preznit evah set in his pea-brain.
The White House has threatened to veto several Democratic spending bills because they exceed Bush's spending requests.
Would no veto would have been forthcoming if the bills guaranteed say, the use of CheneyBurton outsourcing to provide VA services?
Okay, I'm not overly interested in crypto-analysis of the republican candidates, but hell "know your enemy" and all that. So here's a thumbnail of that Latter Day Sleaze, Mitt.
Romney's rise is an instructive story of seizing opportunities, maximizing small advantages, attention to detail and a few lucky breaks.
...
His success in the early states has come despite controversies that have hit his campaign. Most significant have been questions about his shifting positions on abortion, gay rights and other issues, and whether they represent a true change of heart or simply an attempt to appeal to the conservative constituencies who will select the next Republican nominee.
Another republican Empty Suit that photographs well. Why do the republicans seem to love Empty Suits so much? I guess it has something to do with their kinship to lemmings and sheep.
No matter, cliff ... Romney ... republican party. Hey, haven't we seen this movie before?
