Impeachaphobia is an anxiety disorder which primarily consists of the fear most elected Democrats feel when faced with the task of bringing Bush and Cheney to justice.
Democrats with impeachaphobia may experience panic attacks in situations where they feel trapped, insecure, out of control, or too far from their personal comfort zone.
Yes, yes, I restate the obvious yet again, but maybe on some psychic level this might help some Daily Kos reading congressional staffer or actual office holder open their mind to the rising tide of dissatisfaction that is creeping up their ankles.
Maybe this won't be read by anyone who can do their small part, but I refuse to stay quiet or veer away from the obvious for FEAR of sounding redundant or seeming out-of-step.
This fear of failure among Democrats puts them at odds with the majority of people in this country. A majority that is yearning for this adminsitration to be called to the carpet, despite the unsteady yammering of the tattered remains of the Republican party (best represented by mainstream media).
The Bush Era is one that has been soaked in fear. The fear of terror being the foremost example and tool used by the neo-cons. At some point real leaders must emerge from this fog and lift the nation up, that is what leaders do.
Of course, purveyors of fear have a deeper well of inspiration from which to draw. The defense and oil industries pay their champions very well, while the common good isn't such a good tipper.
Excuse the short diary and the notable lack of fresh material, but I wanted to rejoin the chorus and I wanted to float a word out there that might work as a small device to get elected Democrats pointed in the right direction.
Impeachaphobia can be successfully treated in many cases through a very gradual process of graduated exposure to the reality of the consequences of inaction combined with a swift kick in the ass delivered by mass public displays fo protest.
