Dems In Control? Lord Help Us!

For those of us that are frustrated with the direction of the GOP right now and are contemplating sitting at home this November to "send a message," I'd like to remind you of what you would have to look forward to. This is from todays Philadelphia Inquirer:

In recent months, though, impeachment calls have gained a new seriousness - and wider public support - and for good reason: This November, a shift of only 15 House seats would give Democrats control of the House and of the Judiciary Committee. Rep. John Conyers (D., Mich.), who would become Judiciary Committee chair, has already submitted a bill calling for an investigation into impeachable crimes, and would certainly welcome an impeachment bill.

More important, over the last five years, Bush has become the Willie Sutton of constitutional violators. While the impeachment of President Bill Clinton for lying about sex was a case of frivolous political harassment, this president's many "high crimes and misdemeanors" pose such a threat to basic freedoms, and to the system of checks and balances, that not to impeach would be irresponsible.

While Republicans may be rudderless right now, the thought of John Conyers heading the Judiciary Committe is down right scary. These people are so completely infected the BDS they would run this country into the ground in pursuit of their Great White Whale, George W. Bush.

Read the article to get a feel for what their arguments for impeachment are, it's right out of the Daily Kos diaries: lying us into war, trampling upon the Bill of Rights, abuse of power, war crimes, etc. You name it, and it's there.
