Another day, another story like this.
The problem is clear. It's not that there are individuals like Dick Cheney who think we can improve the world by escalating the war in the middle east.
It's that they have too much power.
Power that they stole, since in our democracy you have to be elected by voters, not rigged ballots and a partisan court.
And once you're elected, you have to obey the law.
Return this man and the rest of his administration to civilian life, where they can do no further harm.
Impeach Cheney.
Now.

We're not going away
But you are, to spend your recess campaigning.
What an appropriate word for such an infantile congressional majority.
With a majority of Americans supporting impeachment and opposing the war, and the bully pulpit of being one of the highest-polling Democratic political candidates out there, you have done nothing in congress to call to account the criminals running our country.
And you and the rest of the DLC are about to walk away from Washington while they finish shredding all their emails, "forgetting" all the meetings they're currently having while they're working on God knows what illegal scheme that we'll only find out about three years from now when it's too late to do anything about it.
That would be pathetic, except that also, people are dying and our economy is hitting a brick wall. Since you're so obviously interested in the Democratic party winning the presidency, how is a Democrat president going to explain to voters in 2012 that it's not your fault we'll still be in Iraq, gas will be over $10/gallon, and the global economy will be in recession?
How about running on the right policies, instead of what beltway pundits think is going to win the next election?
And that starts with a commitment to democracy and the rule of law. A commitment you apparently left behind when you ran outside for "recess".
Have fun without our votes.

OK, we get it
Anxious to project the image of a commander-in-chief, you're rattling sabers at Pakistan:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/08/01/wobama101.xml
Your justification is that Al Qaeda killed over 3,000 innocent Americans.
What about the hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis who have died because of an illegal war that our own administration lied to us to justify?
You're ready to send troops to Pakistan to capture or kill people associated with the 9/11 hijackers, but you're not ready to send a piece of paper to the criminals who have hijacked our government, informing them that they have been impeached.
We get it.
You don't oppose these administration policies at all. You want a "unitary executive". You want to be that all-powerful executive! Why else could you possibly want to stand idly by while our government is destroyed from within?
Prove me wrong.
