Freepers are AFRAID! "The Coming Impeachment"- mentions Downing St memo
Edited on Sat Oct-07-06 05:02 PM by NVMojo
I know, this is theirs but damn, you guys and gals gotta read this. This is the first time I have seen anything about impeachment from the freeper GOP side! Of course it is about us doing the impeaching!

FrontPageMagazine.com | October 9, 2006
A plan is in place to censure and impeach President Bush and Vice President Cheney. Orchestrated and organized by the radical Left and Congressman John Conyers, Jr., this plan is ready to go should the Democratic Party take control of the House of Representatives in November.


The plan is the ultimate manifestation of left-wing hatred for George W. Bush rooted in the contentious election of 2000. Since failing to defeat Bush in 2004, the Left has focused its efforts on destroying his presidency by assembling a list of charges aimed at impeaching him.



Impeachment plans began seriously coalescing in 2005, after the NY Times published classified aspects of the NSA surveillance program. In mid- December of that year, Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-CA, asked a group of presidential scholars whether President George W. Bush had committed an impeachable offense when he authorized the NSA foreign surveillance program. John Dean, the long-time Bush critic of Watergate fame provided Boxer with the answer she and most other Democrats were looking for: "Bush is the first president to admit an impeachable offense" he said.



Around the same time, Senator John Kerry, D-MA, told a gathering of 100 Democrats that, should they capture the House in 2006, there would be a “solid case” for impeachment based on President Bush's “misleading” the American public over prewar intelligence. Kerry was picking up where another prominent Democrat had, on November 1, 2005, left off. On that day, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid called a rare closed Senate session with other Democrats to look into the “misinformation and disinformation” used by the Bush administration to justify Operation Iraqi Freedom.

3. Henny Penny the sky is falling
They're so funny when they're flustered. We're assembling a list of charges aimed at impeaching him? Not really, we're just keeping track of his crimes. Almost the same thing though.

4. That's a scare tactic to get them to vote Republican, no matter
how they may feel about the new developments. Don't stay home! If the Dems win and take control, their lives will be miserable and the world will come to an end.

Next will be terra terra. I smell it.

6. Indeed! I don't see this as positive
Anything that garners more votes for them cannot be taken lightly.

And I've seen them smugly laughing about the thought of impeachment. I honestly don't see it happening, so I try not to mention it to my Repub family members.

5. Couldn't this back fire? Over 50% believe he lied to get us into war and
believe it was a mistake. If they know we will impeach the bastard, maybe they will be more inclinde to vote Dem.

8. Many Repugs would rather die than vote for a Democrat.
I would look for them to plain and simply stay home.

17. Yes, it will backfire -- if they keep it up
To this point, including this article, they are being careful to keep talk of impeachment below the Euphemedia radar. They want to scare both their paranoid base and the DC Dems without spooking the general public.

But if they scream too loudly they risk letting the public think that the DC Dems might actually have some backbone. This they don't want. But the more desperate they get, they more they have to risk it.

What they understand -- and the DC Dems might too if they broke out of the Euphemedia hypnosis -- is that "strength sells." And strength means willingness to take bold actions, like impeachment.

The Dems could recapture 5% or so of the white male vote (who admire "strength") nearly overnight, if they would take this only substantive method of standing up to the regime. They'd also "nationalize" the election and super-energize the base.

Not to mention what it would do to restore our moral standing in the world.

9. "Assembling a list of charges aimed at impeaching him." Duyah think...
...that maybe "a LIST of charges" suggests substance, Front Page? Hell, all your freaks could conjure up against WJC was a fling.

10. I hope they're not. To be honest, though,
I'm getting sick of having to explain the countless reasons that impeaching Bush is a bad idea.

13. Impeachment is a non=issue at the moment
Get elected and take the House and Senate first/ Without a majority in both houses impeachment is nothing but a pipe dream.

18. What one of the above posters was saying
is that if we talk impeachment now, it will be seen as strong and we would regain 5% of the male vote who like "strength". If that's the case then it is not a non-issue.

14. K&R...when an animal is wounded it becomes more dangerous...
In nature, predators rarely attack live-stock or people when they are healthy. It's after they become injured that problems surface.

The Republican beast is severely wounded, not dead.

Make no mistake, this race is just beginning.

The beast is more dangerous than ever and has fangs and claws that it is preparing to use.

It has no character or morals but the animal still has power; plenty of power.

Don't count your chickens before the fox rampages through the hen-house.

It's too soon to worry about impeachment or bringing these criminals to justice.

Work harder than ever and give more than you ever have before, or it will be our way of life that is impeached.

21. Yes, yes, yes, a million times to what you said. We have not see the
cabal forced into a defensive posture until very recently.

They have their fingers on many buttons, immediate access to all kinds of personal information and are surrounded by media types and other public airway folks who are dependent on them keeping power.

Fortunately for us, what they also have is cadre of politicians who have become accustomed to gorging themselves at the public troughs and who are ill equipped to deal with the consequences of their actions being exposed. Not to mention, how miffed these formerly entitled folks will be when the cabal withdraws its support of their greedy lifestyles and behaviors.

Hell hath no fury like a minion scorned. (see Brownie)

Anyway, I expect them to regroup at some point and then throw everything, including the kitchen sink, at the Dems to insure they keep at least one, if not both, of the Houses. We cannot let down our guard and must redouble our efforts to keep our fellow citizens well informed and get them, and us, to the polls. MKJ

20. Winning in Nov is everything. More republican reign will lead to
the Revolutionary War II.

I implore everyone to step up activity. More emails, more freeway blogs, more handouts, more contacts with Congress, etc. Don't let up now. Pour it on.
