3. Nah, if she wants to play lumberjack then she needs to carry her end of the log.

I'm fed up with this "treat Palin with kid gloves" approach. Do you really think Hillary would've got the same delicate treatment as InSane's cheerleader?

Come down hard on her, just like any other candidate for VP. If she withers under the criticism of her ideas or actions, then so be it. I doubt if too many Americans are going to want to put her in the VP's mansion because they feel sorry for her.

And why is she indentified with "blue collar?"

edited for spelling...

4. Will attacking the democrats give republicans a victory? Yes

Over and over again it's how they've won elections while the democratic sits back and takes it high and dry. Not this time.

7. Are these those same "top dems" who would not impeach Bush and Cheney?

They run around shaking in their boots while the Repukes continue to steal us blind.

13. It's time for the impeachophobes bleating "we just need to get out message out"

. . .to realize their message IS OUT.

From http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=3961601&mesg_id=3963570

. . .
The heartbreak of impeachophobia is that the "reasons" for running from impeachment are not just baseless, they are The Opposite Of Reality.

. . .Opposing impeachment says Bush is right and/or Democrats are weak political hacks who refuse to fight for the principles they give lip service to.

As long as Democrats oppose impeachment, they are partners in the Republican slap-down of the countless Americans -- the scholars, government officials, military officers, public figures (including our own Mr. Olbermann), and ordinary citizens -- who have been sounding the alarm and demanding justice.

Real ass-kicking "messages" to run on:

"Bush is right! There are no crimes. There is no Torture."

"Republicans are too strong! They won't submit to us."

"Stop asking us to Do Things! We can't! We're impotent!"

Americans have gotten the "message" just fine.

A clear and present danger demands immediate action, not impotent complaint. Rationalize inaction and the message is clear "this is not a real threat."

If Obama wants Americans to see the threat that McCain and the rest of the Republican followers of bushncheney-ism represent, he must call on the House to impeach. He must call on his fellow Members of the Senate to remove. He must call on McCain to reject or defend torture; to reject or defend rule by signing statement. He must give his fellow citizens and colleagues in Congress an opportunity to break the bonds of complicity.

Without impeachment, American-Principle is dead; Fascist-Principle lives; and the Democratic Party is heading for oblivion.

It's never too late to intervene. Impeachophobia is CURABLE. Just keep http://talkingimpeachment.com">Talking Impeachment.

11. I can't see sitting quiet being any kind of plan of action. We have to highlight what is on the ->

table.
