Reply #26: Much beating around the Bush

[PATRICK]

All of these miseries are due to the single factor of not impeaching, investigating and prosecuting the administration itself. The telecoms immunity might make matters worse for some theoretical and apparently undesired prosecution of Bush but in fact they are already left out in the cold, but as parties to the crimes the Dems even less want to prosecute.

The grand reasons to despise this big surrender and flight and CYA operation, the rational pragmatism of the above former victim, alas may none of them loom so immediately large for Congress as what punishment- punishment not donations and rewards- the telecom businesses in their districts can quickly dish out by moving shop and casting voters into the unemployment roles. That too, more than upsetting voters by "wasting time" on impeachment, would distract heartily from the victory march to a historic majority.

All these little battles for principle long ago cast aside make the head ache. The real question these hopeless vortexes avoid is the simple legitimacy of this government. Avoid that and nothing at all makes sense and these matters of workaday policy and principles suddenly become difficult, complex and hamstrung.

Bush is a fraud and criminal. Pick your point of attack, it is absolute. The government is based on fraudulent election systems and big money interests that control policy for the sake of controlling all treasure. America, capitalism, all policies big or small, all 200 year old myths, all are in the void FISA fighters are dancing around. All because the single clear remedy to restore the semblance of reason and light to these policy discussions is to remove- now- the fraud at whose desk all these things stop, begin or flee from.

Better to just freeze governing, but that is catastrophic and irresponsible too. Only the big hammer of direct law and dutiful power can even begin to avert the madness of dealing with such an abominable WH, a fraud, a coup, and a betrayal every way and always whether that makes others and American flaws in general look bad or not.
