After January 20, what are our options?
   
Assuming that Bush is out and Obama is in, what are our options regarding how the Bush administration goes down in history?

Can Congress officially condemn a former President or Presidential administration even if it's not called impeachment?

1. They can still impeach
   
but I'm not sure that they'd need to at that point to arrest and convict.

Hmmmm.  The primitives seem rather deficient in understanding what "impeachment" is.

2. I still think Congress should look into what was done.

3. A new Church Commission.
   
A comprehensive, no-whitewashing, airing of the laundry, without regard to who is implicated. We need to open the files and let the sun shine in.

5. Impeachment is for sitting president. On jan 20, chimpy's just another dude.
   
Frankly, a Democratic President and a supermajority in both houses could, in just a few years' time, declare the Republican National Committee an illegal terrorist organization (should have done that long ago, but the repubs are good at lying their way into office).

Surviving Repub presidents could be sent to the International Criminal Court, as could all their cabinet members and other lackeys. Repubs cluttering up Congress could easily be put out, and the lunatics that got shoehorned into the SCOTUS could be shown the door and a REAL court seated. Go after the fat cats that keep the repubs in power FOR KEEPS, and not let them weasel out with any tax shelters or bailouts. Comprehensive, commonsense hate-speech legislation would put the racists and terrorist-enablers on the radio out of business for good.

I'm of the belief that no truly intelligent person really believes in anything the Repubs say or stand for. Or rather, they wouldn't if they weren't constantly being lied to by the conservative MSM. For years, Americans have been fooled into thinking that the repubs actually stand for something praiseworthy. They've been lied to since the party's founding, and will continue to be lied to until sensible people who know the truth do something about it.

So very simply, make the Repubs and their greedy fat cat pimps vanish from the face of the earth. Oh, there'd be someone here or there who would be upset; but once people saw how bad they had it under the repubs, you'd see any hard feelings dry up pretty quick.

What good is a two-party system when the other party is an institutionalized concentration of evil, racism, sexism, homophobia, tyranny and oppression since its founding? The repubs have been around more than a hundred years but never ONCE made a single contribution to civil rights, women's rights, the rights of workers, the environment, social or economic justice, or indeed done anything but get us into wars to kill off the poor and enrich the power elite.

Is a little common sense too much to ask?

Hmmmm.  The above primitive seems rather deficient in history (penulatimate paragraph).

Well, that's it, folks.

The primitives told us first.

Chimpeachment happens some time after January 20, 2009.

I'll tell you what's gonna happen after January 20th...the DUmmies will STILL be complaining about how awful this country is and we will still be laughing at them.

wow.. in just recent memory I can think of a Dem Governor who stole an election here in my state and the press has simply forgotten about it.

if these DUers want to shine a bright light, they'd better be prepared for what we will find out. it wont go just one way; it will splatter both sides.

You forget they're talking about a democrat super majority. Do you really think they'd let ANY dem corruption see the light of day?

well, they wont be able to stop it if they keep pressing for this impeachment crapolla.. it will snag both sides, and much as they will try, they wont be able to cover it up.

i do think hillary is trying to come up with something spectacular to calm our side and to hers. it will oust Obama from the top spot and help Mccain win fair and square. in such a great percentage that nobody will cry "stolen!" again and nobody will riot because he lost. they will understand that he lost fair and square and that they didnt know him as well as they thought they did.

H5 for the red.  I think you're dead on.  There's something up her sleeve. 

[miskie]

Wow -- all this detail - frankly, the only thing im convinced is going to happen after January 20th 2009 is January 21st 2009.

At the first realization that no matter who is President there will be no sweeping imposition of socialism with them all receiving wealth and prominance they will be in a rage unlike any seen before.
That of course supposes that Obama wins.

If he does it will be rather humorous to watch them throw racial slurs at him for not doing their bidding.

If McCain is President I think they will all have completely melted long before that date.

Watch the polls after the dem convention,if Obama doesn`t leave there at least 15 points ahead he will be in a world of deep crap.
I wonder if the primitives realize this?

[TheSarge]

They will stop it with the help of a complicit media.  You ahve to remember on both sides of the political aisle the majority of folks aren't as up on current events/elections/politics as we are.

Therefore the MSM can tell the people what they want them to hear and they believe it.

Exhibit A:  How many nightly news casts have led off with the John Edwards sex scandal or the fact that because of it he's been removed from the top of the VP list for Obama?

[Airwolf]

I don't know but after President Rove is in office................

So Mr. Bwl isn't cool with the anti-slavery beginnings of the GOP?  That's understandable, given the Democratic Party's own history.
