Expect Derision, Followed by Massive Coverage
At the beginning, this impeachment process will absolutely be mocked and attacked, at first, by the right wing echo chamber. But so were the Gonzales hearings. But at the same time, the media will be watching closely. Actually, the MSM will love it when the hearings start. Once the first juicy disclosures come out, they will go ballistic on them. Once the newest witnesses are identified, they will run their pictures at ultra high "rotation," showing them repeatedly.
When impeachment activists call for impeachment, we need to be clear that we are not calling for a quick vote. We are calling for impeachment to uncover the truth. We are calling on hearings to identify and diagnose all the dangers and threats, all the destructive actions and conspiracies the Bush/Cheney administration has subject the US, its constitution and governance to.
That is what we cannot afford to wait 13 months for.
We have to wonder why Nancy Pelosi and her supporters and enablers are so anxious to prevent the impeachment process to be used as a tool to uncover the truth. They say they don't want to waste time, or be kept away from getting other work done. This is dishonest. The congress held hearings on Dick Nixon and also continued to do all it needed to do back in the seventies, according to former congresswoman Elizabeth Holtzman, author of, The Impeachment of George W. Bush: A Practical Guide for Concerned Citizens , who played a part of the Nixon impeachment hearings. Yet this excuse is the talking point that most of the Dem members of the house use as their explanation on why they won't begin impeachment.
I believe that holding hearings will open up so many ugly, disgusting disclosures of abuses of power and law violations that they will, if Republicans oppose them, if they don't respond to them with calls for resignation by the exposed officials, lead to massive losses by right wing candidates, even more devastating than already predicted. Impeachment hearings will help the Democrats. Failing to impeach could dramatially weaken democratic campaign efforts, perhaps even yield a backlash against democrats.
Oh, by the way, the term "Impeachment Truth" is a meme inspired by 9/11 Truth. There is every reason to believe that impeachment hearings could be used to open up blocked passages to getting answers abou 9/11. I would think that 9/11 Truthers would jump on this bandwagon enthusiastically. Then, we already have the Kucinich people on board. But what about Ron Paul supporters? Why aren't they, why isn't Ron Paul clamoring for the truths impeachment hearings could bring? Ron Paul is a truthy kind of guy. Maybe he needs to be asked-- by the tens of thousands of supporters who have contributed to his campaign. A bi-partisan support for impeachment hearings would be a good step forward.
Impeachment Truth. Say it out loud.
