If anyone is interested as to why, this site has the argument.
http://www.votetoimpeach.org
Can't say that I agree with the idea. Seems to me like a the only result would be a colossal waste of legislative time and taxpayer money.

In reply to: Recent events in Louisiana have open yet another window into the negligence of this administration's dismal job performance. When are we, as a nation, going to say enough is enough? Do you agree that the Emperor has no clothes and needs to be replaced, before he causes anymore damage, or do you feel that he should finish out his term? Cast your vote and submit your opinions. |

In reply to: Should This Country push for Bush's Impeachment?
Unquestionably.
President Bush, along with Tony Blair and all other heads of state involved in Iraq, is a mass murderer.
Controversial perhaps, but unfortunately that's what we call a person who kills other human beings without a good reason. If you consider Pinochet, Milsoevic or Kim Il Sung to be murderers - and most human beings do - then Bush, Blair et al are also, as their crimes match and exceed those of the aforementioned men in scale, brutality and callousness on almost every count.
Nobody questions that President Bush is responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands. Nobody questions that the reasons he gave for doing it at the time were lies. Yet few are prepared to accept that this makes him a mass murderer.
If you feel angry after reading this, you may be experiencing cognitive dissonance. Please check that you can actually mount a valid defense of President Bush's actions that would not also excuse the other killers listed before you flame me in reply.

I am not suggesting that he be impeached because of the hurricane. You didn't read the OP carefully.

Tradman...you have to realize that we (Americans) have priorities and lying about a blow-job is much more unethical than lying about the reason for a war that has cause the loss of human life!!

Isn't that sad. That one of the most important positions in the world and you are not held accountable for your performance.

Incompetance is not grounds for impeachment. Nor is lying. (Lying Under oath IS, however.)
But the question is moot. By the time impeachment proceedings could be engaged and resolved we'll be in the throws of a new election anyway. He can't run again. All it would do is cost millions of taxpayer dollars and end up putting a new person in the whitehouse right about the same time. And that's assuming that AFTER the impeachment the move to remove him from office was undertaken. (For those maybe confused, impeached does not automatically mean fired.)
And if he WAS fired, Cheney would assume the presidency, unless and until impeachment proceedings could be brought against him, which would yeild even MORE millions and wasted months which considering the short time that might be left in the term would never be undertaken. So you'ld end up with Cheney as a lame duck, sitting in his "undisclosed location" doing whatever the hell he wants until the next election.
So no, Bush should not be impeached.

Actually, Cheney wouldn't be a lame duck. He'd be eligible to run again. :shock:
It'd never happen though, he's too old and not terribly popular. :lol:

Technically correct, but as you said, effectively a lame duck.
He's smart enough to know
A) he'd never get elected
B) His health wouldn't hold up if he DID get elected and
C) he can make a SHITLOAD more money back in the private sector.

It's too bad the Dems couldn't come up with a halfway decent candidate to defeat ol' Georgie Boy. This last election really was a no-brainer - major recession, huge growing deficits, open borders (despite the formation of homeland Security) and a huge and an expensive mess in Iraq (that was/is the aftermath of a war against an independent soveregnty (which was not a threat). Instead of trying to endear the middle, they took the far left position embracing moveon.org and Michael Moore and building their campaign on blame politics.
As a candidate for re-election, Dubya was pretty marginal. Nevertheless, the majority chose him over Mr. Letmeshowthe20somethingshowhipIamwithmywindsurfersnowboarderLancewristbandwearingcarrymyownwaterbottlefaketanandIAMNOTAFLIPFLOPPERhisownself.
Bush won
Kerry lost
Get over it
maybe a good cry would help
Now go work on your game plan for '06 and '08.
