to coin a phrase .. “you’re asking the wrong motherfucker” .. you need to take your hostiity out on nancy pelosi .. she’s the one who took impeachment off the table not me ..

and sure .. the trial phase in the house took a couple of months .. but convening the committee .. assembling the charges.. and meeting the parlimentary requirements of reporting out was proceeding for quite a while prior to the impeachment phase ..

i’ve got a 3′ X 5′ gadsden flag i fly on the wall here .. it’s the one with the coiled rattler with the motto “don’t tread on me ” across the bottom .. don’t push your luckin’ fluck .. eh bro ?

we don’t have time to impeach them ..the constitutional mechanism is ponderous by design and takes about a year to accomplish

I believe the impeachment of bill clinton took only a couple of monthg

in addition, there was not one person that marched to impeach president clinton and I don’t even think there was a march to impeach nixon

americans are marching for impeachment of these criminals, it is accomplices to allow them to continue in their crimes

i don’t trust the bushies at all btw .. i think they’re worthy of impeachment .. and i think they’re war criminals as well having violated the hague conventions on therules of land warfare and the geneva accords on the count of engaging in “aggressive war” ..that’s attacking a country which did not attack you and did not present an imminent threat .. it’s classified as a “crime against humanity” ..in international law .. and by american law as well .. since we are signatories .. and once ratified those accords became a part and parcel of the constitution .. at least that’s what i was taught at the war college .. one does not let slip the dogs of war over rumors.. doing so was a serious breach of our traditions and ideals .. and should not be allowed to stand without bringing those responsible to the bar of justice .. as much as that will/would pain the amercian political right .. which hopefully after november 8th will be assigned back to the political wastelands in which they wandered for the previous fourty years prior to their most so badly botched acendency ..

we don’t have time to impeach them ..the constitutional mechanism is ponderous by design and takes about a year to accomplish .. hopefully the scoundrels will be hauled into the docks after they resume their position in civilian society .. on jan 20th 2009 .. not feb 20th as alluded to elsewhere ..

meanwhile … semper fi ..and keep faith in americans being amercians .. i honestly believe it’s a safe bet ..

i’m a former military officer .. and i can tell you straight up .. it’ll never happen .. mr bush’s imagined powers as commander-in-chief aren’t nearly what he thinks they are .. the military serves the constitution of the united states .. not the president ..
