Dean Esmay links to an article by Jerome Zeifman and agrees with his conclusion:
With Democratic propaganda spreading widely, at least one prominent conservative, Paul Weyrich, chairman of the Free Congress Foundation, now is advising the White House to be prepared for the introduction of impeachment resolutions. Based on my own experience with impeachment politics, I agree with his advice.There's a world of difference between introducing impeachment proceedings and actually executing an impeachment, much less getting a conviction. I don't think that Mr. Esmay or Mr. Zeifman believe that President Bush could actually be ousted from office, but it does look like they believe that a Republican-dominated House might actually impeach him -- which I think is absolutely impossible. What's more, there's no reason to believe that the Democrats could regain a majority in the House in the forseeable future.In my case, I believe that political parties that thrive on demagoguery destroy themselves. These days I fear that the Democratic Party that I have known for 60 years now may be close to extinction.
Maybe they are only referring to the "introduction of impeachment resolutions", and not their actual passage. I agree that such a move would be convincing evidence that the Democrat party is determined to self-destruct.
Granted that there are a number of Des wholive in another universe, but even the Prussian like disipline of the Democrat party couldn't seriously get a impeachment motion anywhere near the floor of the House. The Dems may be crazy but they aren't stupid-this isn't 1973 and the GOP isn't as likely to be stampeded nor does the media have an iron grip that it did in 1973. As the Dems push forward extremeists who push for illegal alien rights, homosexual rights, the NOW agenda, the Hillary and Schumer agenda, most of mainstream America is going to be wondering how does the Democratic party represent me?
I thought it was up to the House Judiciary Committee to start proceedings. What americans have to look at is the facts. Then this has to be compared with what was said by the administration. There are people keeping an exact record of that ghastly man's actions.
Think of GWB as doing a dance before a tribunial holds him and his gang accountable. The problem for the USA and the rest of the world is to make sure it doesn't happen again. 2004 wil be the year of Bush impeachment, if not, there is no hope.

The bizarre fatalism that has creeped into leftist ideology amazes me. Comments like this one make fellows like Scott (ABliss) sound like radical fundamentalists. I have no doubt these emotions are sincere, but I wonder how thoroughly ignorant of history one has to be to be so clearly lacking any sense of perspective.
There is no hope? No hope of what, Scott? A Democrat in the White House? You may be right about that one.
