Impeachment fantasy

The Bush administration's actions have been ruinous. I am a Liberal, so I've never been fond of Republicans. Every time one is elected, I imagine the ruin of life as we know it. Somehow it never turns out that badly... until this one.

What I'd like to see:

1. Cheney put on the witness stand in the Scooter Libby trial. He is caught lying or even telling publicly disturbing truths. This leads to follow-up investigations in congress which leads to impeachment.

2. While Bush is given his "chance" in Iraq, the situation worsening, he then becomes the continuing embarrassment to Republicans who run from him en-mass, leading investigations in his behavior and culpability.

3. Bush and Congress are stalled and at odds over appointment of a new vice president. In the mean time, the public outcry for Bush's removal becomes unavoidable, even in the face of:

4. President Pelosi.

Okay, so much for that fantasy.

Here's a point...

I'm strangely proud of Senator Hagel. It is apparent to me that he is on a personal mission that cares not about his political future, but only about his convictions. I wish he had been stronger earlier, but as a Liberal in Nebraska, I'll take what I can get.

I watch MSNBC news every evening. Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, and Joe Scarborough. I am please by their outspoken criticism of the war and demands for answers. I wish they would stop disparaging the "non-binding" resolution as not enough action. I think it is very important that they do it this way. Pass this and there will be another and another action to be taken, hopefully drawing more Republicans as they go. Giving the Republicans stepping stones to follow is more important at this point than rushing to drastic action that risks backlash and further partisanship.

I hate to see more death and destruction in Iraq and would like to see it end sooner, but the fact is nothing can be done quickly. Bush is too power-struck to stop and holds too many of the powers and controls. Remember how Clinton won in the struggle with Congress over expenditures and gained in popularity by doing so? The President can do that. Don't give Bush a chance to weasel the message away from his culpability. Allow the Republicans a chance to gather in opposition and real change will happen

Any comments?
