13. My LTTE on point...
Edited on Tue Mar-21-06 05:11 PM by reichstag911
Dear Sirs:

My list of problems, and explanations of those problems, with Mr. Madigan's article decrying the possibility of George Bush's impeachment would extend far beyond the length allowed in this forum, so I will be brief.

Regarding Mr. Madigan's statement that Bush "has been particularly bad at (being President) the last few years": Does that not pretty much encompass his entire stolen term in office, sir? At what point has Mr. Bush's presidency been considered a success by any but the wealthy beneficiaries of his spendthrift fiscal "policies" (i.e. tax cuts, and more tax cuts)?

Regarding his glib assertion that "The war is not going well because they only go well when they end.": This is patently absurd. Prior to American/Union victories in the wars that we won prior to the National Security Act of 1947 (Civil War, WWI, WWII), things were going very well, thus the ultimate victory. Had things been going badly prior to the end of those wars, and others, it is unlikely the enemy of the hour would have capitulated.

The questions about the accuracy of "elected by the people, Bush should sit in that chair until the final day of his term" are apparent, and needn't be belabored.

I could go on much longer, point by point, but I will close with my response to Mr. Madigan's contention that "This is a democracy, not a business." First, as the dubious election results (esp. from Ohio) in 2004 and Supreme Court stoppage of the Florida recount in 2000 indicate, calling the US a democracy is something of a stretch. Also, remember it was Bush who campaigned on his ability to run our government like a business. If that is the case, and he is the "unpopular chief executive" in question and we are the shareholders, which we are, it is time for him to go out the window.
