Here’s the World Can’t Wait contact page:
What are they going to do in 2009 when Bush/Cheney/Rove aren’t around to focus their misguided angst toward?
For 8 years it’s been “Get Bush and Co”, well when ‘Bush and Co’ are out, what exactly will their jihad cry be?
If they like citing the bill for the war so much, I suggest they also start talking about the cost of legalizing the illegal aliens, too.
As far as I can tell the FISA act actually allows the president to conduct surveillance in certain cases WITHOUT warrants.
Make a wish, put it on your T shirt, and it will come true. Must be that Law of Attraction teaching.
Fringe, by its very definition, is lacking in substance, largely irrelevant but decorative and interesting.
So can we just consider the kooks, both right and left, as entertainment, while the realists among us look for serious solutions to complicated problems?
And can we also admit that there will always be problems? If it’s not one thing, it’s another.
I think my Grandma said that.

Grass roots, indeed! All the roots lead to George (spit!) Soros.
Well at least now we know they were drunk and not complete imbeciles; or is that redundant for a Dem?
The only valid grounds are possibly his border policies, but they totally agree with him on this subject. If the grounds for impeachment are the war in Iraq, they will blow their own feet off. In the long run, Watergate didn’t help the Dems, and trying to impeach Clinton didn’t help the Repubs.
What counts is policy and being responsive to popular will within the framework of the Constitution and national security and economic health, and BOTH parties just haven’t gotten it. The Dems are the party of personal attacks and Bolshevik politics, and the Republicans are the party with a great philosophy which they haven’t got the courage to support. They almost deserve each other.
I think we should encourage this.
1. It will anger most people if they try to impeach the President.
2. It will reveal the Democrats as the moonbats they are.
3. The President will be gone in 18 months. He can spin out the trial to take up a good half of that time. With luck, he can have the Senate trial during the Democrat’s primary season. That will trap their leading candidates between the nutroots and the sane majority.
4. The more time Democrats spend conducting an impeachment the less time they will have for legislating. Whenever the Democrats hold Congress *anything* that reduces their time to write new laws is a feature, not a bug.
Drug dens have cocktail napkins?
It's not a basis for impeachment if it's passed by the House and Senate, nor is it a basis for impeachment for Bush to advocate for it.
It's all wrong of course (at least I think so), but nothing that will stand up in an impeachment trial.
“The President will be gone in 18 months. He can spin out the trial to take up a good half of that time.”
They perhaps want to turn the “trial” into a showcase for political grist, but it won’t work. It will backfire on them. I don’t think the Dems are that politically naive.
With George W. Bushs’ support of Amnesty, he may find a lot of conservatives won’t be running to defend him.
“The articles of impeachment, she said, can be written overnight on a cocktail napkin.”
About the same size as a document large enough to contain all she knows about anything.
Impeach Hitlery!
Ssshhhh!
Let the stupid jerks talk and plot all they want.
They don’t understand that impeachment is a constitutionally-driven legislative process. The impeachment fanatics don’t understand that THEY don’t get make stuff (or rules) up once it comes into the House. There are established rules and procedures for how things are done. Everything takes time and votes. A lot of votes.
The House Democrats can’t even come up with the votes needed to force a time line be inserted into an Iraq supplemental bill and make it stick. How are they going to come up with the 2/3rds majority needed to pass a bill of impeachment? And if they did, how are the Senate Democrats going to convict with a 50 vote “majority?”
So let the flamers like Kucinich, and Conners, and Waters, etc. rant and rail all they want to. Let them file their articles with the Clerk of the House. Let them keep the left wing/liberal fringe spun up so high that they waste all their time on trying to make the impossible possible. (Instead of going out and causing real trouble.)
This issue is a dead letter and the Democratic leadership knows it. IMO, the only reason that they (the Democratic leadership) lets it go on is because: 1) it worries the Republicans (and that can’t be all bad), and 2) it keeps the lunatics in their own party diverted and out of the way.
