Hope For The Future

The American Street » Blog Archive » The Base cracks wide open: impeachment fever is going mainstream

"29%.

Anyone have an idea what finally is driving him under 30%?

If you heard Randi Rhodes today on Air America, you’d have a good clue. The more that comes out about the cover up at Walter Reed, the more that gung-ho US exceptionalists - like some military families are - will be abandoning teh Bush.

From Randi’s website today:

Joyce Rumsfeld (Rummy’s wife) was taken to Walter Reed by a close friend who was also a WR volunteer. There she was told about the filth, neglect and horror that we are learning about now. When hospital officials found out, Mrs. Rumsfeld’s friend was banned from entering or continuing to volunteer at the hospital.

The military crackdown on reporters extends well beyond Walter Reed. God knows what kind of crap is going on…

Congressman C. W. Young and his wife Bev found a soldier sleeping in his own urine 3 years ago at Walter Reed. When they tried to report it they were rebuffed at every turn.

FLASHBACK: Bev Young removed from State of the Union for T-shirt that read “Support The Troops”

FLASHBACK: The story of how the GOP purged one of their own for fighting too hard for vet care. Once done, shutting down the vets’ access to Congress began immediately.

Forgotten vets are left to deal with their wounds and their debt alone.

Meanwhile, military advisors say we have 6 months to “win” in Iraq before a Vietnam-style collapse.

Every blogger, left, middle or rightist, should be working hard to bring more of these facts to light. These stories mark the beginning of the end for Bush, as calls for his impeachment will no longer be confined to liberals who saw him for what he was long ago.

It’s a mainstream, Middle America movement now..."
