CANNONFIRE: Here's how to remove Bush and Cheney

[jgraz]

Not a lot of new ideas, but a good summary of the strategy (or stragety) nonetheless:

....If you want to kick Bush out of office prematurely -- if you want actually to DO that thing instead of just wishing for it -- then you must understand that Nancy Pelosi cannot seem to be a coup plotter. She must be the last person on this planet to use the I-word, and even then, she must make a big show of acting more in sorrow than in anger. Until then, don't get angry if she does not offer explicit support for the cause, because if she supports it, she will scuttle it. (If need be, repeat the previous two sentences fifty times until the message finally sinks in.)

1. It's off the table....

until it gets put on the table.

2. Exactly. She must do it reluctantly, with sorrow, only because of public outcry.

4. where's the *strongly insisting* line?

If dunderheads can stand on line two weeks for a PS3, I'll do 6 weeks in a tent with freezing weather to get him out.

6. The Lebanese are doing that right now

They've pitched tents for the long haul and religious leaders from christian and muslim groups announced today that they are united in bringing down Siniora.

8. didn't fit on re write :(

Standing in line for a no brains game is one thing.
Standing up for justice is another. Not sure Joe Public
understands the concept.

11. Because of her position

she can not take a leadership role when it comes to impeachment. It would be inappropriate.

[cassiepriam]

18. I agree. She is going to have to play this just right.

3. If we remove B&C then there will be a "mod R" incumbent in office for 2008

-- sorry, but that is bad news.

I want C removed and tie B's hands so tight he has to get someone else to wipe his ass for him.

But we should leave B in office until 2008 -- just take over the country while he sits there and pets Barney. After he depart office we can send him off to the Hague.

We end the Iraq War by cutting off the funds - like Kucinich said.

:(

7. Hopefully the saner minds will push the "Impeach Immediately" crowd

off to the side. This needs to be done correctly or our children and our grand children and their children's children will be paying the price for many generations into the future.

13. In the words of Ali, Bush needs a Floyd Patterson humiliation beating.

Punish him bad, while keeping him off the map and counted out. Make him look so bad that the public will never want a Republican in the White House in 2008. Impeaching him may feel good and be right, but it will make him look the victim and get a measure of sympathy. Besides, there is probably not enough time to do it properly and he would not get convicted anyways. But he can be pummeled and humiliated by investigations and oversight hearings as he throws more tantrums. In the end all but the most hardened freepers will see him for what he is.

14. He is, after all, the PERFECT candidate for "Rope A Dope" -> ;-) (n/t)

:hi:

16. I like that--rope-a-dope! Wish I would have thought of that. :) n/t

5. For weeks I've said its a poker game

Don't ask Speaker Pelosi to show her hand too early.

[Dem_in_Nebr.]

9. This is so Right on!

Investigate everything you can! Then, after the American public sees what is there, they will be the ones calling for impeachment. Nancy can just ride along reluctantly. Makes so much sense!

10. Welcome to DU Dem_in_Nebr -> ;-) (n/t)

:hi:

17. Thanks IndyOp!!

Been a long time reader but only started posting the last couple of months.

12. Between Waxman, Conyers and Leahy

there are going to be some major fireworks going off in January.

I'm hoping for both Bush and Cheney being forced to resign at the same time.
