Would there be an impeachment recommendation
back in 1974, had the House been ruled by a Republican majority?

Would the House voted to impeach Clinton had it been ruled by a Democratic majority?

I just think that as long as the Republican rule Congress, any steps for impeachment are treading water.

And come November, I don't know that this will be on most voters' mind.

As the recent immigration marches show - people get galvanized on issues that are close to their day to day living. The Plane leak, the wiretapping, even the war on Iraq and, with no new disaster even Katrina - will not be on the front burner.

Health care accessibility and cost, jobs, retirement, schools - will be.

Yes, some say that we should be ready with articles of impeachment so that as soon as we (maybe) take over Congress, we can proceed. I don't think so. I think this will be perceived as spiteful and really non conducive and will heart us in 2008.

1. We must remind people of this
We must make sure people remember that the President committed treason, and put America and the lives of its people, in danger by outing a top secret CIA agent assigned to the fight against terror.

We're supposed to trust this man? NO F'IN WAY!

WE MUST MAKE SURE PEOPLE DO NOT FORGET, AND WE MUST FORCE THE REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS TO START IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS. THEY ARE RUNNING FOR RE-ELECTION IN A LITTLE MORE THAN 6 MONTHS!
