George,

There is a misunderstanding. Of course Bush should and must be impeached. He has committed a crime.

America is at war.

But not in Iraq. We are at war in America. We are experiencing a civil war. We are experiencing the greatest attack on our republic since the civil war.The executive branch is seeking to fundamentally alter for the next generation the way the American government functions.

In the face of this violence, there is never a need to criticize anyone but the Republican Party. It has been captured.

Good Republicans should want it back.

The need is to tell people to wake up. Democrats seek first to rescue the drowning citizenry from the water before they can begin to figure out how to revive him.
