Impeachment is not a cure-all
Jul. 23rd, 2007 09:54 pmIt seems every other week there's a fresh wave of outraged people waving around the "Impeach Bush!" banners. It's a nice idea, in consept. I have a bumpersticker with it. It shows just how little suport Bush really has.
But even Vermont's decided it's just not worth it to presue. There was a big outrage over that, but if you pause to think, it makes alot of sence.
Bush has what, a year and a half left? By the time an impeachment process would oust him, he'd be half out the door anyway.
And then there's that who 'Who fills his seat' problem. Do you REALLY want go ole buckshot Chaney running the show?
Impeachment is not a reset button. You might get a chance to oust Bush (and we've never ousted anyone via impeachement anyway) but all the yes men and cronies and trainwrecks he's built up around him will still be there.
Are you going to impeach the entire white house....?
Edit: If you want to actualy DO something, write your congress critter and express your consern about the fact that Bush is using his exeutive orders to write law, a power that they, not him, posess.
