Impeachment

As an avid Democrat and someone who has felt nothing but disgust for this administration, I fully understand the desire for impeaching these criminal dictator-wannabes. However, regardless of the argument in favor of impeachment, we are currently standing on some pretty fragile ground, and we cannot afford to waste the opportunity to concentrate our efforts on issues that hold much higher priority. I do not agree that MoveOn should put impeachment on its priority list. There is so much damage that must first be undone, and it will take these next two years (and more) to work that process. I have talked to many people in my circle of friends and acquaintances about this, and NOT ONE of them thinks we should focus on impeachment at a time when we are poised to show that we genuinely have the pressing issues of the people and the planet in their proper place of importance. Impeachment proceedings will take away from the time and energy needed to correct the horrendous wrongs perpetrated by Bush and his cronies. Yes, I wish we could do it all, but I think we must do what is most productive in the long term, and all the people of this country are watching the Democrats like hawks to see if they are what they say they are--only then will we win in '08. We can't afford to look like a revenge machine--we need to rise above the politics. That is a truly noble act and will have the best impact when it's most needed. Please, let's not sabotage our chances for the next presidency by muddling it up with too much focus on the singular tirade of impeachment. Let's support this Democratic congress to concentrate on the issues that affect us ALL so directly.

Impeachment

haristar,

Where would you place war crimes in the order of importance of the genuinely pressing issues of the people of this country and of this planet? How much more horrenduos can "wrongs" get than the war crimes perpetrated by Bush and his cronies?

Since when are avid Democrats not in favor of bringing wrongdoers to justice?

What is there that we cannot overlook, once we overlook war crimes?

Let's impeach as quickly as possible, and then get on with the other pressing business.

very barbedly yours.

If we lose this opertunity we may never get another in our lifetimes. there are way too many issues needing real attention to spend our time on a witch hunt we have the power lets use it wisely
