With Howard Dean the dems have formally graduated from "disarray" to "debacle", with "irretrievable disaster" just around the corner.

Carol McKy of Middleton was the only self-proclaimed Republican in a room of more than 50 Wednesday evening who passed a motion urging Congress to begin the impeachment process for President George W. Bush.
"I, too, feel that George Bush does not represent me and the Republican Party," McKy said Wednesday at a meeting at Stoughton's Public Safety Building held by the Madison chapter of Veterans for Peace.
Others predicted that Republicans would soon be seeking the exact same goal as Democrats: removing Bush from office.
"Imagine a bumper sticker. Save the Republican Party: Impeach Bush," Madison resident Jim Cobb said. "I beg to differ with the idea that impeachment is hopeless. In one year or so, Republicans will be shooting for impeachment."
Cobb said "the truth is an invincible force" and that it would drive the process. "The truth is out."
At Wednesday's meeting, organizers explained impeachment and made the case that the Downing Street memo is evidence that the process should start.
"They planned the war before they went," Buzz Davis of Veterans for Peace said prior to the meeting referring to the series of memos that describe talks in 2002 between the British and U.S. governments during the lead-up to the war.
David said the Stoughton sessions and later ones (which have not yet been scheduled) are a means of helping the public think things through. Organizers urged citizens to circulate petitions calling for Bush's impeachment and they handed them out in thick information packets. The group also unanimously passed a resolution on a voice vote to send a letter to Congress urging representatives to start the impeachment process.
Is impeachment realistic?
"I sure hope so," Don McKeating of Veterans for Peace said.
And many meeting attendees agreed, although they acknowledged that Republican control of the House of Representatives and the Senate is a major obstacle. To restore spirits, attendees spoke of protests in Madison during the Vietnam War era and grassroots efforts that they said were influential.
"I started out feeling hopeless," Bill Kline of Madison said referring to the Vietnam era, adding that he watched the situation change, and that improvement started with meetings like these. "We're not a bunch of young radical students. I feel good about this."
On a bright note, Jane Jensen of Military Families for Peace told the crowd that her son, whom she hasn't seen since November 2003, is coming home from Iraq today at 1:45 p.m. That brought applause from the audience, but when someone asked whether her son will go back, Jensen quickly replied: "Probably."

Engage a liberal and bait them so they will bring up the Downing Street Memo. Then ask them to give you an overview of what it is about. You'll get verbatim talking points which they can't expand upon or even know why they are spouting them back, or you'll get "well, I didn't read the WHOLE thing but...." It is very satisfying.
Carol McKy = McCainiac = Party Traitor
Would be a good warm up for 2008! =)
This is all about the fact that the left is still ticked off that their beloved Clinton was impeached. "It's our turn!" The spoiled brats.
LMAO....I know what you mean! Talking points is about all that most of the dems I know can spew!
And 5 Supreme Court Justices.
So pathetic.......
However, this is NOT Viet Nam. It is NOT another of France's imperialist messes that we're attempting to clean up. It is FAR closer to home. This is WWIII and we MUST win, otherwise Binny's artificially induced Armageddon scenario, where the earth is left to Evil will come to pass. BILLIONS will be butchered. A third part of the water will be spoiled and a third part of the green and growing things will be destroyed...that's a paraphrase, of course.

"And many meeting attendees agreed, although they acknowledged that Republican control of the House of Representatives and the Senate is a major obstacle."
An even bigger obstacle is the lack of an impeachable offense.
Hey - watch what you're sayin'
I'm a "yankee"...
And I agree with you.
"They planned the war before they went," Buzz Davis of Veterans for Peace said...
Wasn't it just recently that the Bush administration was accused of lacking a plan to deal with Iraq?
They planned the war before they went," Buzz Davis of Veterans for Peace.
Well, isn't that a newsflash Captain Obvious? I'd be for impeachment myself if they just up and went to war without doing some planning beforehand.
If this guy is a veteran, I'm King Henry VIII.

He's a veteran, but of a war of another kind, if you know what I mean.
Wow, 50 certified barking moonbats and one RINO! I am impressed with their great numbers, and am quaking in my boots! NOT!
And what's going to happen if they don't get their way? They'll stamp their little feet, fall down, turn blue, and scream like the little brats they are.
Perhaps some well-heeled conservative should look into hiring an airplane to tow a very large banner over DNC headquarters. The banner should read: "You lost, fools! Now get over it!"
No kidding.
If that is where they want to go let's have the Republicans push for a House UnAmerican Activities Committee.
I'm a yankee too....but will shoot the gun before shooting off at the mouth.
I'd be willing to bet that 95% of these "Vets for Piece" morons have never even been in the military.
