No, with Paris, the media would make it a big deal if her dog went missing.

Getting back to topic, if California can have a recall election on their governor, we need to start pressuring Congress to let us have a recall election on the White House. That or impeach his ass. I mean, if you can get impeached for lying about getting a blow job, you have to be impeachable for manipulating data that leads us into an illegal war, only to profiteer from its results. You have to be impeachable for spending billions of dollars on preparing the US for disaster only to have zero ability to respond when the time comes. You have to be impeachable for sending so much of the National Guard to fight our war that they're not home to do their real job when they're needed.

It's time we start crying for Bush & Cheney's job on a platter. Yet, that means getting Hastert as President. Great solution that guy has ... just let New Orleans crumble and not bother rebuilding it at all.

The line of succession ain't pretty, fellas, but we reap what we've sown at the polls.

The only strategy left: Push your state legislatures for Electoral College Reform. Apportion the electoral votes by district. Then maybe the constitution AND the constituents will be served at the polls.

Seriously, you've all gotta write your state legislatures, you've gotta write Congress, and you've gotta vote out every incumbent on BOTH sides of the aisle if you want to see change. 'Cause Washington ain't listening anymore. They're all too comfortable not filling up their own tanks, not driving in standstill traffic, and not being accountable any more.

that would take a constitutional amendment. Getting a constitutinal amendment passed is neither easy nor fast. Even if you could get it passed by the time it got on the books, Bush's term would probably be over.

My previous comment was a bit tongue in cheek. I'm well versed in the Consitution and what it allows. Such that in the '90s I laughed at all the "Impeach Clinton" bumperstickers and the ignorant rednecks who put them on their vehicles from the day he took the oath. Impeachment is little more than an indictment, and must be followed by a conviction (removal) on the Senate's part for it to mean anything. Notice how quickly all those bumper stickers disappeared when he was impeached but not removed? Priceless.

Knowing that the term limit will take care of Bush for good in three years, and that right now America would fire his ass if it were constitutionally viable, the only alternative we DO have is impeachment. But when the same party that controls the White House also controls both houses of Congress, and with the Chief Justice (who presides over impeachment) dead, with a successor hand-picked by the President, you enter what we peons call a "Constitutional Crisis."

The only solution is to flood the DNC with cries for impeachment (on real grounds this time, not just lying about receiving a blow job). If the DNC has the balls, they'll stick together AND force the crossover votes from all these GOP talking heads who are equally pissed at the administration. It'll be harder to get a removal from the senate than an impeachment from Congress, but still, if public sentiment is there it can happen. Not likely, but it's better than waiting three years for the country to implode.

Did you get a good chuckle when Ted Kennedy filed impeachment papers the day after Bush's second swearing in?

The Democratic party will continue to lose because it can offer no alternatives. Kerry would talk and talk and talk during the election about what needed to be fixed, but never saying how it would be done. The DNC chair, Howlin' Howard Dean, talks big but can no longer draw the way he did during the election.

If they want to win, they need to have viable solutions to today's problems which are better than those of the Republicans, and they need to do it without taking from the people. They cannot do that as they are right now, which is why you can see Hillary slowly sliding to the center (to be fair, McCain seems to be doing the same thing). She knows, just as Bill did, that you must talk the middle to be elected, then you can change to do what you want.

Almost. You have to be extreme to one side to win the party's nomination through the primaries, THEN shift to the middle for four months to win the swing votes, THEN try to make everybody happy for four years while you position yourself for re-election, THEN be yourself if you make it to the second term.
