So now some people in the White House and their allies are accusing
conservatives of whining about the ensuing election. They claim some
conservatives with no following are saying that voters will stay home
and that this is just a ploy accusing the Administration of not doing
enough for them. I have bad news for those persons in the White House
and their operatives. There are voters who tell me they will not vote.
(They are not so advising me because they believe the Administration has
not done enough for me. I have not asked the Administration for
anything.) These voters tell me they are upset, there is too little
difference between the political parties, and they are angry about
immigration, spending and the War in Iraq.
Sean Hannity is absolutely correct when he says that the election will
not be over until the ballots are counted and it is up to us to assure
that people vote. This election will be about turnout. If we want to
punish ourselves we will stay home. I agree that Republicans largely
have wasted the 109th Congress. I wish they had accomplished much more.
Is that failing a reason to elect people who believe the exact opposite
of what we do?
Here are two matters for consideration. If Democrats win, the incoming
Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, Representative John Conyers (D-MI),
has said he wants to impeach both President George W. Bush and Vice
President Richard B. Cheney. I have my differences with President Bush
but do we really want our President dragged through an impeachment
process in front of the world when we have a worldwide enemy,
Islamofascists, whose devotion is to death? Will the impeachment of our
President help us defeat this deadly enemy?
I realize that Republicans impeached President William J. Clinton. He
was only the second President to be impeached. There are those Democrats
who are still angry about that action. But Clinton was impeached for
perjury. Bush and Cheney would be impeached for "lying us into war." I
disagreed with the Iraq conflict. But to suggest that the President and
Vice President deliberately lied to get us there is over the top. I
believe our President meant well and I surely do not want to see him
tried.
