MSNBC Poll: should we send W packin'?

But then we get DICKED. Great. I wonder, can we impeach them both at once? Can't we just do a reboot? Start over? I know -- pie-in-the-sky stuff, but it never hurts to dream. It just seems like every time I open up the newspaper, it's a new outrage.

It does feel quite empowering that we can do something about it in the voting booth in about 18 months, but will the vote be hacked, or not? I'm not feeling confident about it, but that's a topic for another post (coming soon).

Anyway, over at MSNBC, there's a poll tonight on whether Bush should be impeached or not. I'm must bringing it to your attention for fun - the poll is not scientific at all. Go to the site and vote. The results so far, ad of 10:13 p.m. EDT:

Dennis Kucinich tackles the "I" word

I'm not much of a fan of Dennis Kucinich, but with reasoning as sound and as well thought out as this, my opinion of him could change.

In this clip, Kucinich makes a pretty good case for the Democrats to reverse a campaign promise made by Nancy Pelosi on 60 Minutes a month or so before last fall's election - it might soon be time to consider impeachment.

I'm not quite there yet, but I'm not too far off, either. Between the FBI's abuse of the wiretapping system, the firings of the eight U.S. Prosecutors, the Walter Reed Scandal, the Valerie Plame incident, and oh yea, a War in Iraq, this administration has a great deal to answer for. Makes impeaching a president for lying about a blowjob seem, uh, how should I put this... COMPLETELY MORONIC, doesn't it?

I still haven't made up my mind about which Democratic candidate I'm going to get behind, and I probably won't for a while. I really want to delve into the issues and see where they all stand, and I'm not even close to being there yet. I sincerely hope that there's meaningful debate about these important issues. I'm not sold that Kucinich can be a viable, electable candidate, yet. But, it's way early to count anyone out who's still in the race. Let's face it, though - Democrats want someone who stands with the mainstream Democratic voters on the issues, but has the aura of electability as well.

I don't want to embrace the defeatist attitude that so-and-so won't get elected if he/she wins the nomination, but in reality, that has to play a factor in voters' minds. I know it will in mine.

Kucinich offers a number of thought provoking points in this video. The next few months are going to be a very interesting in Washington.

Impeaching the president with song

I heard this on the radio the other day, but it's better to have video with it. I rate this one as pretty good, but I just had a thought today - if Bush were to be impeached and removed from office, we'd be stuck with Dick Cheney. Now that's frightening.

Having said that, from what I've been reading and listening to in the last few weeks, Bush deserves impeachment much more than Clinton ever did.

Is Iran next?

Will this bumper sticker prove true after all?

There's plenty of talk that it's a strong possibility. I haven't read enough about it yet to write at length, but I certainly will, soon.

You can bet your butt that if we do go to war with Iran, there will be a draft. We absolutely do not have the troops for operations anywhere else. If we do go to war in Iran though, Bush had better schedule the invasion or bombing around American Idol, because can you imagine the civil revolt if Fox broke into Idol programming with news of war?

I sincerely hope that people who constantly say, "I don't care about politics" are reconsidering their position. Because everyone should care, especially now, especially if there's a draft. If the draft is reinstated, you can bet everyone will care, fast.

The bumper sticker above, and many others, are available at CafePress, truly a cool Website. Check it out. I was there today, and they've got a whole menu of great new products.

A quick sample...

I love the one on the left *ahem*, but wouldn't a Cheney/Satan ticket be redundant? Okay, okay, I'm getting a bit carried away, but Dick scares me. Call me crazy, but I pray for the president's health on a daily basis, because heaven help us if Cheney were to become president. I can tell you one thing, though - there would be plenty of high fives at Halliburton headquarters. With a Cheney presidency, the new Hallie corporate slogan would write itself: "A no-bid contract in every pot."

I love this one, too. I kind of miss Tom DeLay, though. It was fun kicking him while he was down. This one would make a great t-shirt. After I sell my old computer monitor, maybe I'll spring for one. My car is about maxed out on bumper stickers. In fact, I may thin out the ranks soon. One of my stickers, "Don't blame me, I voted for Kerry" rings kind of hollow now that he's opted out of the '08 race.

Lastly, I found this one - ITMFA - which stands for "Impeach The Mother F----- Already." Too funny. We impeached President Clinton for a consensual affair, but Bush gets a pass on... a laundry list of crap.

I think impeachment should be a last resort, not a first one, but my point is that if Congress could wrongly go after Clinton for what he did, how's Bush get a pass?

It will be interesting to see how the I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby trial plays out. (I'll be blogging more about this over the weekend.)

Incidentally, I'm sooo sick and tired of the media saying his whole name. Who goes by the nickname "Scooter," anyway? That sounds like a nickname from the playground in fifth grade. Hey, I go by RJ, but, I have to pat myself on the back - it's a lot cooler than "Scooter." And what's with the "I"? I never get the whole first initial thing, like "H. Ross Perot." Why not just "Ross Perot?"

One of my favorite initialed-monikers is the football player R.W. McQuarters, a defensive back for the New York Giants. "RW" is a lot to say, but his full name is Reginald Willingham McQuarters II. (There's two?) Yikes. I'd go with "RW," too.

Okay, from now on, I'm R. Joseph "Moped" Corby.

Or not.
