Republicans for Impeaching Bush and Cheney (WOW! What a find!!!)

[proud2BlibKansan]

Dear Congressmen,

We the undersigned write to you as registered Republicans who abhor what this administration has done to our Constitution and to our country. From running up the most massive debt in United States history, to undermining Americans’ basic constitutional rights, to the conduct of a foreign policy in which the language of force has become the sole currency, the damage to our institutions, to our prestige, and to our traditions of liberty continues. We abhor that the party of Barry Goldwater and Dwight Eisenhower, rightly the party of limited government, fiscal responsibility, and the primacy of the Constitution, has been hijacked by an Executive Branch holding a NeoCon-authoritarian ideology rather than a truly conservative one.

Bruce Fein of the American Freedom Agenda has said: “As fellow conservatives, we believe we have a greater responsibility than most to stand up to this particular Administration and demand that it respect the checks and balances established by the Founding Fathers. Absolute power corrupts absolutely, regardless of party affiliation, and we can no more remain silent to the abuses occurring under President Bush than we could if a President Clinton were in office.”

Senator Barry Goldwater said “extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice…moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.” The impeachment of any presidential administration is indeed a strong measure, but by any measure this administration has met the threshold for the conduct of impeachment hearings, by a margin which exceeds that of almost any previous administration. Therefore we call upon you, congressman, to support the immediate commencement of impeachment hearings, first against Vice President Dick Cheney, then against President George W. Bush, based on the following articles:

WHEREAS, members of the United States Congress take an oath to support the Constitution; and,

WHEREAS, the United States Constitution provides a system of checks and balances that is designed to prevent the abuse of power by government and to preserve the power and freedom of the people; and,

WHEREAS, on December 17th, 2005, President George W. Bush publicly admitted to ordering the National Security Agency to conduct electronic surveillance and information gathering on American citizens in a manner that may have violated the Constitution’s 4th Amendment prohibition against unreasonable searches and seizures; and,

I gotta give these guys some props for doing what is right, not what is partisan...but imagine all the abuse and cold stares these guys get. Too bad it's too few and too late. If any of these members voted for this regime, they have blood on their hands...but to their credit, at least they're looking to wash them properly...maybe, as this regime is removed from power and the dark cloud of the BFEE is lifted, others will come forward and join the rest of us for a full accounting of this regimes crimes and every criminal.

3. Would there be time to get it done?

5. I noted only ONE reply to it

I think maybe they have nothing and everything to lose and are perhaps just distancing themselves from B*** and Cheney.

9. basically

Although some of those republicans really do hold justice in higher esteem than party loyalty or idealogy, I think a growing number are realizing that Bush & Cheney are bad for the GOP image and want to distance themselves. I doubt it has anything to do with justice or integrity, just a desire to stay in power by denouncing unpopular conservatives.

Bush & Cheney need to be tied to the conservative movement. They had the entire right wing political establishment and the right wing media kissing up to them the whole time. The house & senate rubber stamped everything Bush did. They also ignored all the crimes and corruption that have only begun to see light of day since the dems took over in 2006.

Undying loyalists and corrupt criminals who are unethical is what the contemporary GOP has devolved into. The public shouldn't be allowed to forget that.

When the democrats in the house tried to supoena Bolton & Myers about the attorney scandal about 85% of the house GOP members walked out rather than vote. That is the contemporary republican party. Instead of voting to hold people accountable to be investigated for abuses of the justice department and using it as a tool to subvert democracy, they would rather walk out. They hold the republican party in higher esteem than the integrity of democracy or hte rule of law. They don't want GOP members to be forced to testify about using the justice department as a criminal tool to create a permanent republican majority.

The contemporary GOP is criminally corrupt and will fight hard to cover up the criminal corruption of other republicans. They shouldn't be allowed to distance themselves from this fact by turning on Cheney after the other 75% of americans did so.

Someone's still not paying attention. Bush** and Cheney are the Raygun Revolution legacy and its END GAME.
