Just Do It Already
Every day it seems, a new investigation is announced on TV related to a Bush appointee. Every one of them has been highly publicized most notably Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez and Paul Wolfowitz. Each of these men appear, atleast to me, to be guilty of the charges brought against them. Overwhelming evidence exists showing that Gonzalez fired 8 States Attorneys for strictly political reasons and Wolfowitz, head of the World Bank, promoted his girlfriend to a high paying job when she was not as qualified as other possible applicants.
These investigations seem well warranted but I have to say that if we are going to go through all the trouble of indicting everyone that Bush has appointed, why do we not just do the obvious and impeach Bush. In the history of the US two presidents have been impeached. The most recent was Bill Clinton and I think we all know what he was impeached over (a highly publicized affair with Monica Lewinski). While I think it would damage the popularity of the newly elected Democratic majority in Congress, President Bush makes it clearer every day that he has broken more laws than any other president in our history. The Republican Congress of 9 years ago impeached Bill Clinton over a blow job, but we do not have the balls the impeach George Bush for causing the deaths of more than 3,000 American soldiers and hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians.
What I am trying to say is that it is time to stop attacking the at the bottom and go straight for the proverbial jugular. If we are going to be taking the time to bring charges against political allies of Bush let’s grow some balls and go after the big man. Every day I sit and read the newspaper and think to myself that this is the first time where all of the work has been done already and the only thing that Congress needs to do is officially raise the charges. We already know that he is guilty, how about we make it official. In the end, the thing that we need to think about is precident. Even though it may meen the sacrifice of the Congressional majority in the next election, although I am not certain that it would, we have to show the country and the world that even the President of the most powerful country in the world is held accoutable for his actions.
Let’s do it. Impeach the worst president of American history.
