"This nation sits at a crossroads. One direction points to the higher road of the rule of law. Sometimes hard, sometimes unpleasant, this path relies on truth, justice and the rigorous application of the principle that no man is above the law. Now, the other road is the path of least resistance. This is where we start making exceptions to our laws based on poll numbers and spin control. This is when we pitch the law completely overboard when the mood fits us, when we ignore the facts in order to cover up the truth." ([http://www.impeachpac.org/?q=node/111|source])
No, I didn't say the above. In fact, odds are, you won't be able to guess who said the above if you haven't already. Then again, if you know me, you just might guess that the above was said by Tom Delay--way back when, about Bill Clinton.
Pretty funny, dat.
Because where is he now?
OH YEAH, being indicted.
Well, now it's time for the Republicans (including Delay) to start practicing what they preached back in the 90s with Clinton. Thanks to CommonDreams.Org, I've found a website that just might help the law get followed. (Sorry about that grammar!)
ImpeachPAC.Org is a lot like MoveOn.Org, except their head is in the right place. While MoveOn.Org is busy trying to raise money to pay for a new anti-Iraq-war commercial (that's so 2005!) ImpeachPAC.Org is trying to go after the heart of the problem--the guy behind the Iraq War in the first place.
They're even doing one better by going after an impeachment for Cheney, too. Of course, no one's gotten quite so far as to wonder what America under Alaska Senator Ted Stevens' iron fist would be like, but regardless, it's got to happen should anyone actually give a shit about the rule of law.
See, this isn't about partisan, winning or losing. This is about the guy in the White House having to follow the law. And anyone who thinks we shouldn't impeach Bush because that would leave Cheney in charge and that this is a worse thing is not paying attention to what I am saying.
It's the law here, folks. Like Delay said, it's not the easy road, but it is the just one.
Besides, Cheney doesn't want to be in the center seat. I have video of him from when he was in the Bush 41 Administration saying "I'm not a politician" when asked if he might be a replacement for Dan Quayle when Bush Sr. ran for a second term. My theory has always been that Cheney was the real brains behind the Bush 43 Admin just like Bush Sr. was the real brains behind the Reagan Administration. The only difference here is that Cheney is no where NEAR as likeable as guy as Bush Sr. was.
So don't trump up excuses to not put Bush's feet to the flames of impeachment law. If it tears apart the country, then so be it. We have Bush to blame for the fall of America, then. After all, if only he didn't break the laws in the first place, we wouldn't have to get all legal on his ass.
Check out ImpeachPAC.Org and see if you can help. Got some extra cash? Donate some of it. No extra cash? Maybe you want to blog for them, or just have a look around and learn more about the situation.
