The Mind of Impeachment
Posted by Frank J. at 01:29 PM | View blog reactions | Comments (20)

Democrats.com (not affiliated with the DNC) sent me an e-mail about impeaching President Bush. I though I'd share part of the e-mail with you since studying crazy people helps us better understand ourselves, and, more importantly, it's funny:

Impeachment: Which Democrats Are Blocking Us?

I'm going to guess the sane ones.

Thanks to your grassroots lobbying efforts - and the leadership of Rep. John Conyers - there are now 29 co-sponsors for Conyers' Select Committee on Impeachment, H. Res. 635. http://afterdowningstreet.org/635

"The leadership of Rep. John Conyers" - it takes skill to say that with a straight-face. 29 co-sponsors? Bush is going down!

That's a good start - but ALL 202 Democrats should be co-sponsors. After all, Bush deserves impeachment far more than any president in American history, and a solid majority of Americans want Congress to impeach him NOW. http://democrats.com/bush-impeachment-polls

So... much... idiocy... in... so... little... space...

Maybe if you put LSD in the water, all 202 Democrats could go nuts and sponsor this, but you do understand that still ain't enough for impeachment, Mr. Minority Party?

And you really can't think of any President who deserves impeachment more? Not even Grover Cleveland who murdered all those people with a hatchet?

And you really think the American people want Bush impeached? Have you ever talked to Americans before? Or do you just believe your polls? Who conducted them? Bigfoot?

What's holding back the Democrats? According to reporter Dave Lindorff, "members of Congress - even firebrands like Maxine Waters (D-CA) and Cynthia McKinney (D-GA) - have been strong-armed behind the scenes by the Democratic National Committee not to introduce an impeachment bill in the House." The DNC chairman is Howard Dean. Ask him why he is blocking impeachment here: http://democrats.org/page/s/contact

So, my guess was wrong; even the Emerald Nuts in the House are against this. If you can't get Maxine Waters, Cynthia McKinney, and Howard Dean onboard, then that's an indication that what you are proposing is sticking your face in a blender crazy.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi also opposes impeachment, urging Democratic activists to focus instead on winning the House in November. We reject that because every single DAY that Bush remains in office is another day in which American soldiers are killed or maimed in Iraq, Iraqi civilians are killed or maimed or poisoned, prisoners in America's Gulag are tortured, America's ports are left vulnerable, our phones and computers are wiretapped, and our planet races towards climate catastrophe. Also, since a solid majority (52%-53%) of Americans support Bush's impeachment, it's both good policy and good politics. Ask Nancy Pelosi and the House Democratic leadership why they are blocking impeachment here: http://democrats.house.gov/contact/index.cfm

Nancy Pelosi was so shocked by the idea of impeachment, it looked like her skull was about to burst from her face.

Oh, wait, she always looks like that.

But you guys are right; this impeachment thing will go over great. The American people will love it; it will be a non-stop party. And Bush will totally get thrown out of office by the Republican Congress.

Anyhoo, here's a really powerful telescope; tell if you can see reality from where you guys are.

Another terrific way to promote impeachment is by getting cities, counties, towns, villages, and Democratic committees to adopt impeachment resolutions. Last week, citizens of five Vermont towns overwhelmingly passed resolutions urging their Congressman, Bernie Sanders, to introduce Articles of Impeachment. His first reply was to call impeachment "impractical," but he then responded to his constituents by co-sponsoring H. Res. 635. The growing list of local resolutions favoring the impeachment of Bush and Cheney is here: http://impeachpac.org/resolutions

As go five Vermont towns, so goes the nation. While they're at it, why don't they pass a resolution saying Iran must now become a secular democracy and abandon their nuclear ambitions... oh and one that demands that gumdrops rain periodically from the sky!

Activists who are particularly savvy have embraced the "Rutland Resolution" to urge their state legislatures to submit impeachable charges directly to the U.S. House of Representatives under Section 603 of the Manual of the Rules of the U.S. House of Representatives. This strategy is best suited to states that have strong Democratic majorities in both houses of the legislature: CA, MA, HI, RI, and VT. Learn more here: http://www.impeachbush.tv/impeach/statehow.html

Okay, now I don't even know what you’re talking about, and, rule of thumb, if you can't explain it to a five-year-old, you can't explain it to a leftist nut.

If you would like to help organize impeachment efforts in your state, county or town, join the Impeachment Working Group of Progressive Democrats of America: http://pdamerica.org/impeach-wg.php

Will we have meetings with punch and pie?

And be sure to urge your Representative to co-sponsor H.Res. 635: http://capwiz.com/pdamerica/issues/alert/?alertid=8329176

"Congressman Dave Weldon, I know you're a conservative Republican, but have you considered sponsoring the impeachment of President Bush? If you ask me, what the country really needs right now is wackiness."

Let's make impeachment our highest priority this spring - victory is possible!!

Yeah, I understand how you guys are already giving up on getting Democrats elected this year, but there has to be something more productive you can put your energy into. I've heard good things about Sudoku!

The only thing funnier is Daschle thinking he can run for president when he couldn't even keep his senate job.

WOW. Even I couldn't make this stuff up!. I guess the dee-dee-dee's over at that site are doing some serious drugs huh?

Hey! Don't knock Sudoku!

Ironically the group calling for Bush to be impeached are themselves 'impeared'.

Observation: Wasn't it about this far into the Clinton adnimistration that he was impeached? Could this be timed payback?

#4 - Posted by: madhun on March 13, 2006 02:03 PM

Um, surely they must realize that would put Cheney in charge? "Let's impeach Bush so the one person in the entire world that makes us crazier than Bush does is in charge. Then you will really see us mad!!"

I know, I know, don't call you Shirley...

JAB stop stealing my comment idea!

Watch out for the Soduko, man. You can find yourself going to solve 'just one more' at 2 am. And then what? Next thing you know, you're sneaking a magazine or a book of 'em into a press conference hoping people will think your taking notes and somebody catches you on the daily soduko site on the floor of the House. Don't listen to Frank J about the Soduko, Dems!
... Uh, but that bit about being out of touch when Dean, Pelosi, and the openly raving anti-semitic concresscritter (It's Not Racist If You're Not White) say you've gone too far? I would say back away from the edge, but you've already gone... is your BASE equipment on?

#7 - Posted by: Nony Mouse on March 13, 2006 03:58 PM

on behalf of Michigan, let me apologize for Conyers. We do not like to inflict him on the country, but we cannot seem to beat any sense into Detroit.
Our only hope is that the muslims decide to take it out first .... which would give us a good reason to spank the adherants of the 'religion of pieces' AND turn Michigan into a red state!

And they have an ad for the children's book "Why mommy is a democrat"

http://littledemocrats.net/samples.html

What's with the left's obsession to early age indoctrination?

#9 - Posted by: Brutha on March 13, 2006 04:36 PM

Yay! Impeach Bush! Cheney for President!

#10 - Posted by: Tim on March 13, 2006 04:54 PM

Mmmmmmmmm...gumdrops.

Can we retroactively impeach Carter?

#11 - Posted by: Master Shake on March 13, 2006 05:07 PM

As go five Vermont towns, so goes the nation.

It's not just five Vermont towns, you know; it's also San Francisco, a city that can't afford $100,000 to install adapters on its fire hydrants so that fire departments from neighboring municipalities can attach their hoses to help fight fires but whose board of supervisors did pass an impeachment resolution. Nice to see that first things come first there.

#12 - Posted by: Silicon Valley Jim on March 13, 2006 05:26 PM

Punch and pie? Well...at least as far as the punch goes, these folks are a step away from Jim Jones' Grape Cool-aid. I guess the regular DNC just wasn't crazy enough.

#13 - Posted by: Wolfman Dan on March 13, 2006 06:19 PM

On behalf of the sane people of Vermont I want to apologize for Sanders and those 5 Vermont towns.

Their houses will be razed to the ground and they will be all be beaten until they realize their errors.

#14 - Posted by: Will on March 13, 2006 06:56 PM

Since our state legaslature re-drew the congressional lines, Conyers is my rep (I feel sooo dirty). But it seems that Mr. Conyers needs to get his own house in order, so to speak:

Hey! Grover Cleveland didn't murder anyone with a hatchet. Don't you engineers study history? It was a cleaver.

#16 - Posted by: Peter on March 14, 2006 01:16 AM

Madhun: Amen!

Dems are so uncreative. Their think tank (actually a 5-gallon janitorial bucket) must have come up with this one.

Daaaaaahhhh, Clinton wuz impeached, an' dat went over reel well, Shoh, let'sh do da same!

They forget that Clinton actually obstructed justice, committed perjury in front of a grand jury, and had several close friends killed in a manner that would get a nod of approval from the Teflon Don.

They want to get Bush on the "illegal war" crap, but we're running on intel that was endorsed by the Dems during the Clinton admin (BTW, WMDs HAVE been found, thank you very much, from what I hear from troops that return to Saddam's own generals confessing the matter).

"I've heard good things about Sudoku!"

Uh, Frank, I think you misspelled Sepuku. Heh. That would clear it all up right there.

#18 - Posted by: DesertElephant on March 14, 2006 09:59 AM

Since sending soldiers off to war, and (if one is to believe the left) lying about it is murder and an impeachable offense, then I'm sure this group is also trying to posthumously impeach FDR, JFK, LBJ, and, of course, they called for impeachment of the nation's first black president after Somalia.
I say we ship the people behind this off on a fact-finding tour to any randomly chosen Muslim country and let them find out first hand what torture really means.

//I say we ship the people behind this off on a fact-finding tour to any randomly chosen Muslim country and let them find out first hand what torture really means//

Well some American university professor hanging out in Palestine got kidnapped after the Israeli military forcibly removed some of the worst palestinian prisoners. If this professor swings the way of the rest of the libby professors in the US, maybe he'll get a big ol' dose of reality right-the-freak now.

I swung off topic a bit, but it seemed to fit Malichus's idea.
