hey folks, in a recent diary I put forth that Libby is exactly what the $hrub's strategists WANT us to obsess over-- so as to keep us focused on a fall-guy instead of CHENEY,
Yet I only got a few responses & most were adamant (as are some activist org's) that we need to IMPEACH Cheney... so, I'm not an ego-bent guy who needs to feel proud that I'm a political guru; thus I ask a HUMBLE question & I seek decent NUMBERS & as much solid pragmatism that IMPEACHMENT is MORE workable than other legal-subpoena-type-action, if you wouldn't mind please.
If we are going to attempt to FORCE Cheney's testimony via impeachment rather than subpoena or similar Judicial action, then tell me how this is to be done given the makeup of the folks in DC who would/could pull it off and how the votes might/could add-up.
YES----I'd LOVE to see him IMPEACHED;
I just don't see it as realistic, but if other kossacks can show me REAL math on the votes or at least a darn good approximation of how it REALLY is pragmatic in such a place as DC, then I'll gladly join you & the various .org's that support it, such as TRUE MAJORITY.
Otherwise, if you have knowledge of how legal/subpoena or similar strategy would be better (or worse), I'd truly appreciate an experienced and savvy political kossack to explain it.
ONE last thing: please, don't give me any "friendly" pseudo-flaming simply because I don't show vehement IMPEACHMENT energy--- SURE I want "King-HALLIBUR-TON$-of-MONEY" impeached,
yet it seems less than realistic to me as opposed to judicial committees or subpoena/similar such court-action;
Is that too much to ask, or will I just get folks with EGOS who want to bash me for simply asking for facts/vote-scenario that will back a smart strategy to deal with this situation?
I guess I'll sit back & get ready to learn if this site is turning into EGO-talk & put-downs OR if folks are going to supply some suggestions BASED on REAL MATH re: how the IMPEACHMENT vote will work in DC---again, I claim to be NO smart guy on this;
I just want a strategy that is PRAGMATIC, something progressive Democrats like myself REALLY want to see during these depressing times, and I thank any & all helpful kossacks in advance.
