Our future
Yes all those reasons are valid for hating GWB and Co. and yes they surely are criminal in my book but I am not willing to sacrifice a hopeful future for a vengeful present.

I'm curious to know what kind of hopeful future you think we'll have if this precedent setting criminality is allowed to stand? No fear of being held to account will stop a future president from lying us into another preemtive war. No fear of being held to account will stop a future president from illegally spying on us. (and if Bush gets his way, this sort of spying will not only become legal, he'll be exempt from prosecution for the spying he's already engaged in) Perhaps you feel comfortable that the next occupant of the WH will overturn the abusive powers accumulated by the current criminal, but I'm not willing to put so much trust in politicians.
As for Nancy Pelosi, is she actively blocking efforts at impeaching members of the criminal organization known as "The Bush Administration" for the sake of non-existant legislative victories? If so, she should go down in history as the worst sort of collaborator.
*The best thing for the Dem base to do is to act as one, forgetting horserace driven, republican licking "reporting", and elect Dennis Kucinich as president, and rid ourselves once and for all of every spineless, whimpering, corrupt, base-attacking party member on the slate.
*that is, if we can actually achieve a fair election sans electronic voting machines, caging, and vote list purging.
