proceedings?

I recall Illinois, and California had undertaken procedures to begin impeachment. What happened to those proceedings?

I would suggest impeachment of Bush and Cheney together.

One thing the Democrats MUST learn when attempting to mobilize toward impeachment is that what the media reports about Bush and the public's attitude toward him cannot be trusted. For example, right now, the "White House- media coalition" is trying to psych the Dems out by convincing them that Bush is gaining ground again in public opinion along with support for the war. But it is total utter fabrication:

Here's a dose of reality:

Rasmussen: Bush's overall approval rating remained at 40% before and after Zarqawi's death and even after the "surprise trip" by Dubya to Iraq. Public approval of Bush's handling of Iraq dropped 1% from 32% the week before Zarqawi's death to 31% right after.

NBC/Wall Street Journal: Showed Bush's approval rating up just 1% (from 36% in April to 37% the week after Zarqawi's death) - which is not statistically significant (the error margin was plus or minus 3%).

CBS/AP Poll: This usually very conservative poll showed, right after Zarqawi's death, that Bush lost 2% in approval ratings following Zarqawi's death (down to 35%) while approval for his handling of Iraq hit a record low of 33%. Yep, real bouncy.

FOX: Poll shows Bush overall approval up to 40% from 35% due entirely to Republicans "repledging their allegiance" to their Fuhrer. However, the poll also showed a drop of 3% (from 40% in Jan. down to 37%) in the public's approval of how Bush is handling Iraq.

CNN: Poll taken after Zarqawi death and Bush trip to Baghdad shows a 1% drop in Bush’s job approval since May (from 37% to 36%).

Nice work, Cheryl. Thanks!

I received this from People for the American Way and it was too powerful not to pass along.

This president and vice president, deserve to be impeached, of course we all know that is impossible, look at who would be in line.

But I do wish that we could control the house and the senate and drag their butts through the mud, they deserve worse for taking our young men and women to war out of stubborness and greed.

Their blood is on his hands, but George W. Bush and Dick Cheney have no hearts, they don't care who lives or dies. They are war criminals.

Many are passing and being introduced:

"Not a part of your progressive political ideals to start the fight? If you can’t stomach being the aggressor, please just step aside and let us do the dirty work. Really now, mouths shut and eyes open, please. We’ve lost enough ground because of you wimps who wish we’d all just play drums and eat vegan food. You’re not going to end torture that way."

Does everyone know you are being censored here at democrats.com? They edit comments.

Imagine that you were a progressive American, and hated the Bush/Cheney administration for all the usual reasons: their cronyism with Big Oil, their tax cuts for the rich, the continuous erosion of civil liberties, and their lies, lies, lies....

But what if, in spite of this, it was common belief, for liberals and conservatives alike, that Sadaam Hussein actually HAD developed Weapons of Mass Destruction, was connected to Al Qaeda, and was an imminent threat to us; therefore, our invasion/occupation of Iraq was completely justified?

Imagine that it was such a "given" that the administration and the media were telling us all we needed to know that we steadfastly went along with their masquerade? And if we ran across bits of information that contradicted the official story, we would ignore it, much as a conservative will ignore the facts that a liberal gives them because they conflict with their established world view.

In such a scenario, the pressure to believe the conventional wisdom would be so intense that few would have the courage to express their doubts publicly ... to their friends, family, and fellow liberals. And those occasional musings from people who've stumbled on news stories or websites or books that doubted the official Bush story would be denounced as lies and crackpot theories.

Thankfully, we know that the war was unjustified and was based on lies. But think for a minute.... are there any other assumptions that we as Americans from all over the political spectrum hold? Beliefs about the world that we live in that might actually have been manipulated by the Bush/Cheney administration and the media? Are there any tidbits of information that we have run across in the last few years that just don't quite stack up, but we ignore because they contradict our established beliefs? Is there anything that a few daring souls are starting to espouse, only to be shot down, by the likes of both Kos AND Hannity?

Perhaps it's time to start questioning some of the beliefs that we hold about our world since Bush entered office and the reason he has been able to remain President in spite of our efforts. If enough of us start to question our assumptions, as I recently did, we might start noticing, and even welcoming, new perspectives about the current administration. Maybe we can start talking to our friends and fellow progressives about it rather than worrying about what they will think of us if we discuss such matters.

Our leaders are far worse than most of us can admit to ourselves, and everything we need to know is out there, just slightly hidden, if we look hard enough. That's all I'm saying for now.
