Harold Ford Advocates Letting Bush and Cheney Off Because "the Constitution doesn't poll very well."

Harold Ford is a Blue Dog Democrat that needs to be dis-invited from the democratic Party. He is more Republican than Democrat. He needs to be ignored at all times even though the news media will always give him voice because he is a handsome devil. He is not the friend of progressive or liberal Democrats.

If elections are accountability, they need to empty all the prisons and put all the inmates up for election so we can hold them accountable.

Let him know how you really feel about the Constitution and accountability for the Bush administration.

UPDATE:

Here's my message:

"The Constitution doesn't poll very well."

Way to go, Mr. Ford.

But I suppose Americans should not be surprised. As evidenced by your stunningly ignorant comments at the Netroots Nation conference, the full frontal Democratic Party assaults on America's collective intelligence are becoming ever more frequent, as the veil continues to fall on your party's spineless enabling of the most corrupt, criminal, impeachable administration this country has ever seen.

Have you considered why the approval rating for the current Congress is at 14 percent (roughly half that of the current occupant of the White House)?

It's because Democrats in Washington continue to ignore the unequivocal will of the people who gave your party a congressional majority in 2006:

Get us out of Iraq and hold the Bush administration accountable for their crimes.

But what has happened instead? Democrats have used every pathetic excuse in the book to continue funding the illegal occupation of Iraq, in spite of revelations such as this, which appeared in a Washington Post story on December 19th, 2007:

"Iraqis of all sectarian and ethnic groups believe that the U.S. military invasion is the primary root of the violent differences among them, and see the departure of 'occupying forces' as the key to national reconciliation, according to focus groups conducted for the U.S. military last month."

You also said:

"I think that accountability was brought in 2006 when [Republicans] lost in the House and the Senate."

A mountain of proven and continually repeated Bush administration lies have led to the deaths of more than four thousand American troops and more than one million innocent Iraqis, and the creation of the fastest growing refugee crisis on the planet in Iraq (nearly five million Iraqi refugees). In addition we have George W. Bush's illegal torture, detention, rendition, and spying on innocent Americans, not to mention Bush's callous evisceration of our Constitution with his illegal signing statements and completely fraudulent "Unitary Executive Theory" - an open effort to concentrate all government power in the Executive Branch.

As if all that weren't more than enough, the entire carefully crafted disaster that is the Bush administration has our country on the brink of complete financial collapse.

And you're of the belief that Republicans losing their congressional majority is sufficient accountability?

You are unquestionably part of the problem in America, Mr. Ford.

Ever so sincerely,
John Perry

Why shouldn't Rove be above the law? He is a champion of the morbidly obese everywhere in the USA!

Didn't you ever wonder who ARE those 8% of the public who always stand THICKLY by him and his policies, no matter what? (even if they infiltrate a peace protest!)

They sure can walk around here with a lot to laugh and crow about, so long as they can look to their champion, who is "sticking it" to anyone who is more athletic by comparison (which includes the entire other 92% of the US, even all the loyal "field hands" stationed overseas.)

Yes, these few ELEPHANTS do have a lot to crow about, because they like "The Way Things Are" just fine -- especially the obviously established principle that FAT CATS like Rove, are really above the law and can thumb their nose at society (their fiefdom)!

History has seen this situation a few brief times before and well remembers the name of Vitellius...!

Re: "Yet, at the same time, he imagines nobody gives a damn about defending the Constitution against those abuses. This, I think, involves a crazier mental leap than Ford's sheer ignorance"

Yes -- this is a mental leap, but I think maybe I can explain understand how the mental leap works...

Do you remember how you felt about the Constitution in 2nd grade? Probably like this: "It's grown-up business". Most of your friends your age probably agreed with you.

As you grew older, fewer of your peers held on to this attitude, but plenty enough of them, even after they had to study it in high school, still considered it "grown-up business". And a few still kept this illusion and didn't worry about it, even after they themselves were grown up.

By recreating the conditions of a 2nd grade classroom as much as possible on the large social scale, it is just barely possible to maintain the illusion that most citizens do not want to know about the "Constitution" and "rights", and instead leave all that to the "grownups", but don't YOU worry about it -- because after all, aren't you really a kid at heart? Then why should you worry your little head about these matters, that are best left to the grownups to decide for you?

This attitude has been carefully cultivated for decades, but the cultivators are now panicked at the prospect of any REVOLUTION - not one of picking up arms, but a revolution of the MIND - that could dispel that illusion on a large scale.
