THEN: Impeachment / NOW: Prosecution

[Soylent Brice]

i remember feeling like all hope was lost the day the words "impeachment is off the table" were uttered. i didn't understand. i just couldn't wrap my head around those words. then we saw the dems hang the last 8 yrs around mccain's neck. the election was a landslide.

i don't agree with this chess bullshit, even though it worked. if they HAD impeached how many people would have been saved from being tortured? would we have been able to stop the war sooner, and prevent the deaths of more american lives?

fast forward. now we have blatant irrefutable evidence of torture. but there will be no prosecutions of those individuals involved in said torture. we kept "our powder dry". yet again, there is no consequences for those who acted unlawfully and morally bankrupted our country.

hey, look what we did. wasn't that awful?!?!

now back to your regularly scheduled program...

i don't know what to think of all of this. again, i find myself trying to wrap my head around this. i think to myself, "why?" i just don't get it.

the question i have is this:

if we held back on impeachment, and it somehow allowed us to win an election, what the fuck is not prosecuting war criminals of the last administration going to get us this time? AND... is it worth the X number of human beings that will become new victims of torture and/or die in unnecessary wars?

3. Democrats were elected overwhelmingly

They say it is all about getting Democrats elected. IMO What's the point of that when they behave exactly like Republicans? Obama says "no one is above the Law" and then he turns around and says we won't prosecute for crimes committed by the Bush* Cabal. He thinks it would hurt Democrats in their re-election bids. I know what I will do with my vote. Absolutely nothing.....

4. i just need someone to tell me

what i need to do. what do we do?

i spent the last 3 yrs volunteering, donating to campaigns, attending rallies, calling elected reps and writing, and on and on.

what do i/we do now? where do we go from here?

what's the next step, because i can't sit idly.

5. I have no suggestions, you/we are being taken for granted

They know we have no where else to go so they have zero obligation to us. They will do whatever they want and expect our vote. I will never ever vote for a Republican but I do not have to vote for anyone..I refuse to give them my vote when they act like Republicans.. It is just that simple and if Republicans take over so what....
