impeach cheney... and bush

ok so why should we impeach dick cheney and george w. bush? here is why: lewis “scooter” libby was dick cheney’s closest and highest ranking adviser. “scooter” lied under oath as part of a criminal conspiracy for obstruction of justice to block an investigation by special prosecutor patrick fitzgerald into how the name of ambassador joseph wilson’s wife valerie plame was leaked to the media and reported in a syndicated column by right-wing pundit robert novak. dick cheney is currently blocking another investigation into his office by claiming that the vice president’s office is the fourth branch of government, separate but equal to the executive, legislative, and judicial branches. he also shot his friend in the face with a gun. and his daughter is a lesbian who wants to get gay-married even though president busy opposes gay marriage, and dick cheney supports his daughter’s view in favor of gay marriage or at least domestic partnerships. dick cheney created his own intelligence agency inside the vice president’s office to cook the books on intelligence to create a case to go to war against iraq. and dick cheney was the mastermind behind a scheme to get john ashcroft to sign off on torture while john ashcroft was sick in the hospital and bedridden and wanted nothing to do with signing off on torture. dick cheney arranged for his company halliburton to get no-bid contracts in iraq and for hurricane katrina reconstruction so halliburton could price-gouge the government and steal billions from our national treasury. as for george w. bush? he is the one who chose dick cheney as his running mate after dick cheney was in charge of the committee to search for a running mate and chose himself. george w. bush lied when he said anyone who had anything to do with leaking the name of valerie plame to the media would be fired. george w. bush led us into a quagmire in iraq that is much worse than vietnam because this quagmire is provoking a global terrorist threat against us and helping the terrorists train and recruit for their jihad against america. the threat from the people we fought in vietnam was nothing compared to that. george w. bush opposes the very gay marriage and/or civil unions that could help save dick cheney’s daughter from a life of not being married officially. and george w. bush commuted the sentence of lewis “scooter” libby so that the convicted felon would not serve any jail time, because he was wealthy and had connections and was a close friend of the vice president and all the stupid people felt sorry for this lucky idiot. and meanwhile regular people who commit perjury have to serve jail time. oh, i know that people say bill clinton committed perjury. but he was impeached and they failed to remove him from office. and there wasn’t enough evidence to get him on trial after he stopped being president. “scooter” libby, on the other hand, was tried and convicted by a court of law, and his appeal was thrown out because it was groundless. “scooter” will end up serving less jail time than paris hilton, another spoiled wealthy person who is very lucky just like “scooter”. and o.j. simpson. don’t forget him. he murdered nicole brown simpson and ron goldman, and ended up getting acquitted even though he was guilty, because he was wealthy and could afford the world’s best lawyers. there is one legal system for rich people who can afford top lawyers and another for the middle class who can afford lawyers but not the best, and a third one made up of public defenders, for the poor. the legal system is institutionally set up to benefit the wealthy and hurt the poor. and still, despite all that, the legal system convicted “scooter” libby and sentenced him to jail. so the president had to save him from going to jail because all the other conservative pundits felt sorry for poor “scooter”. well i don’t give a damn about “scooter” or about any of the stupid conservative pundits who advocated pardoning him. those people are all scum and we would be better off without any of them. the whole bush administration is corrupt and rotten to the core. it is like the mafia, and it is all about loyalty. if you are loyal to the boss, the boss will be loyal to you and make sure everyone else is too. that is how the bush administration runs things. if you are ever disloyal, you are thrown out. you lose your job and you have character assassination attempted at you through unflattering leaks to the press. that is why there was the whole u.s. attorney scandal. the u.s. attorneys were fired for not showing enough loyalty to president bush, not because they were bad at their jobs. some of the ones who were fired were doing very well at their jobs. but it is all about loyalty in the mafia and criminal gangs like the bush administration. they have to make a show of demonstrating their loyalty to “scooter” libby to demonstrate the carrot of being protected from investigation and prosecution if you remain loyal. and if you are not loyal, you get the stick instead, the one they used against joseph wilson. to attack him, they jeopardized the safety of his wife, who had been involved in covert cia operations in the past. they did that to send the message that if you show disloyalty, your family will be targeted. it is just like the mafia or a criminal gang. that’s why i say, impeach these thugs! let the punishment fit the crime! or in this case, many, many crimes! too many to count! congressman dennis kucinich has offered articles of impeachment against dick cheney. and last year, cynthia mckinney put out some articles of impeachment against george w. bush and dick cheney, right before she left office as a congresswoman. john conyers, house judiciary chairman, has in the past had a lot of pro-impeachment talk, although he has never shown any action in this area. if only everyone in congress were at least somewhat in favor of impeachment, as those 3 are. cynthia mckinney is no longer in congress, but there should be plenty of other people still in congress willing to impeach bush and cheney. forget all the talk about there not being enough votes to convict in the senate! that does not matter! the senate is full of irrelevant partisan hacks who are all political insiders and disconnected from the will of the american people! most americans would like an end to the bush administration, the sooner, the better! even right-wing extremist ann coulter wants it to end as soon as possible! so why not do it? several republicans in the senate are in open revolt against president bush now. there still exists a possibility that impeachment might actually work. how can you know for sure unless you try? and we really should try. there is no reason not to. the american people are dissatisfied with how the new congress is too wimpy to actually do anything bold, like ending the war in iraq or impeaching bush and cheney. what has congress actually done? who the hell knows? but if congress actually did something important like impeaching the president, people would take notice. and people would start paying more attention to what congress does and following it in the news, at least for a little while. and that is a good thing, because the media gives too much free airtime to president bush and his cronies, and not enough to congress. this would help to even the scales and bring some balance back into the public debate, which has been influenced too much by our deranged president and not enough by other voices. but congress is its own worst enemy. the people in congress cannot do anything about this because they are too chickenshit scared about doing anything controversial that might get anyone upset with them. congress is full of cowards who are afraid to stand up and fight. it is time for the people in congress to get some guts or balls or whatever you prefer calling it, and stand up and fight the administration for real. an all-out political war, a constitutional crisis, that sort of thing. it is just what our country needs right now, to revitalize our democratic political system and checks and balances and separation of powers and the constitution. before we can defend freedom we have to have the freedom to defend. let us ensure that we have a democracy worth defending, before we send people to fight and die for freedoms that we don’t even really have anymore. and neocons, if you don’t like being held accountable for your actions, move to iraq, a neoconservative paradise of lawlessness where you can get away with anything! good luck. you will need it to survive in the hellish dystopia that you created.
