It's IRRESPONSIBLE At This Point NOT to IMPEACH Bush. What Do You Think?

[Dr. Jones]

Here it is. Yet another Bush scandal. What are we going to do? Sit around and twiddle our thumbs? Have another phony "investigation?" Call our Congresspeople and complain, to no avail?

You know what will happen, as what happens with all Bush scandals. Hell is raised, then Bush once again lies to Congress and the American people, then it miraculously slips back under the radar. Well I've HAD IT.

Why should Bush continue to hack away at our rights and freedoms? Why should he continue to violate our most cherished national document, our Constitution? Why should we continue to take this all-out assault on the American people?

Just a couple of weeks ago, we heard that Bush has violated some 750 laws. His failed response to Katrina was criminal. He LIED us into a failed war for no other reason but to enrich defense contractors and to steal Iraqi oil for the American oil companies (see Executive Order 13303). He told us about the massive stockpiles of WMDs, and there were none. He told us it was all about terrorism, and yet no terrorists were in Iraq at that time. Now this NSA wiretapping of American citizens is in complete violation of our Bill of Rights! And yes, that includes our right to privacy!

You know, I thought the "war" was on the terrorists. But now I realize after all this time, the war is REALLY on the American people. WE are Bush's enemy, and have been all along. And it's about time we all woke up realized that.

I'm sorry. I'm pissed as hell. I see Bush completely destroying our country and everything it has ever stood for, and dammit, I think we nned to do something about this. In my opinion, it is WHOLLY IRRESPONSIBLE to NOT impeach this President. What do you think?

1. But we need a DOUBLE impeachment

Bush and Cheney at the same time.

[Tuesday_Morning]

2. I think you're right

[NYCGirl]

3. Let's have investigations first. NT

4. You are not alone. After Downing Street has an extensive

compilation of resources and actions that have been taken by states and local governments. There may be an impeachment working group near you.

5. As long as Republicans are more loyal to him than the Constitution

we will not see any investigations or legal action.

Fitzgerald seems to be our best hope at this point.

[wtmusic]

6. At 31% approval we might see some Republicans backing up

a motion to impeach to save their own hides.

[onenote]

12. not a chance

[Ezlivin]

13. However, these 31% are not mere followers, they are BELIEVERS

Hence, GW can do no wrong regardless of his actions. He is a Christian man with Christian values who is helping God bring about the Second Coming, the Rapture, Armageddon and the Seven Years of Tribulation. All the fun stuff...

[Dr. Jones]

15. Mostly correct...

however, it seems the majority of those Christians you mention don't even believe in the Rapture if you press them.

But yes, they will folllow Bush to their grave simply because of one thing Bush said during the 1999 debates: "Christ, because he changed my heart" (in response to the question, who is your favorite philosopher). Once Bush said that, it was over and the Christian freeper base was hooked for life.

Just because Bush said he was a Christian. That's all it took. I personally think the man is a faker.

[Ezlivin]

17. Bush is a Christian in name only

He says what is politically expedient to say.

[LibDemAlways]

20. While he was President, devout Christian Jimmy Carter

occasionally taught Sunday School. Bill Clinton frequently attended church.

When he was President, Reagan used the excuse that his attendance would be too disruptive for other churchgoers. Chimp rarely sets foot in a church except for an occasional photo op. His actions as President have been anything but Christian. And yet, kool aid drinkers are convinced these two are the holiest Presidents ever. I know the media doesn't give people the facts or set them straight, but this is one lie they should not have been able to so successfully perpetrate.

7. Totally - toss em all in leg irons

[ourbluenation]

8. Didn't you get the memo? Get congress in 06 first...

then impeach. In the meantime - keep the I word on the down low.

[wiggs]

9. Agree. Except

I'm not sure the DC dems are capable of or willing to frame the issue appropriately and strongly enough so that most Americans can get behind it. The case is clear...obvious. The administration is demonstrably the worst in history and its actions have been demonstrably disastrous and sometimes illegal. The case is there to be made....it's easy. A lot of people are very angry and worried and very few politicians have come forward to speak for them effectively.

But dems have not made the case in five years and I'm not sure they are up to it. If they aren't up to it, there's a political risk in some of them trying.

MSM should be helpful in making the case, but we don't even need to get into why they aren't here on DU.

Disappointing, to say the least.

10. He and all his evil henchmen should be in jail.

Until we straighten out his malicious doings.

11. No. We must impeach.... here's why.... (link to Rude Pundit)

We must impeach. It's Karl's biggest fear. We must force Republicans to either stick my their man or pay for it at the polls.....

http://rudepundit.blogspot.com/

Snip.....

"The problem isn't that Republicans are trying to turn the "threat" of impeachment into the big bugaboo of the midterm elections. That's just more politics of fear - this year's Zarqawi - and it won't work. Because a good third to a half of the people who voted for Bush in 2004 think it was a mistake, wish they could take it back, cut off their screen-pushin' fingers, take a mulligan, a do-over, fuck, something to make it not real anymore. Despite the desperate, annoying squawking of the right to the contrary, the mainstream media is not responsible for the plunging poll numbers of the President, since, by and large, the MSM still lovingly gets on its knees to get the high hard one from the White House. And then there's the half the population who think Bush shouldn't be there in the first place. To think that there's some kind of mass belief in the American people that the nation needs to be led by George W. Bush for the next two and a half years is to seriously mis-read the mood of the country.

So here's the Rude Pundit's reckless, unresearched, completely biased, crazy-ass, but, holy shit, strangely logical proposition: Democrats need to embrace the politics of impeachment and make it a centerpiece of their national Congressional campaign. It's so simple: "If you don't want George W. Bush and Dick Cheney to be our leaders anymore, vote for Democrats."

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

14. What's disgusting is the new GOP talking point. Don't elect Dems

to Congress because they are going to fill the agenda with hearings on investigations and impeachment proceedings. Bayh Buchanan was mouthing off on this yesterday on CNN while Donna Brazille, inefectual as she is, didn't say boo....

[LibDemAlways]

16. The public effort on the part of the Dems to

downplay impeachment is disgusting. The "reasoning" (such as it is) is that talk of impeachment will just fire up the repukes.

Wasn't it those same repukes who had no problem impeaching Clinton over a private affair? It if hadn't been that, it would have been something else. They were gunning for him from the moment he took the oath.

Meantime Dems just quake in their boots, pissing the hell out of their base while the repukes just smirk and give the chimp free reign to shit all over the constitution and commit impeachable offenses daily.

Dems don't have the votes at this time, true, but the "I" word should never be far from their lips. The chimp's numbers are in the low 30's. Who the hell are they afraid of alienating?

[wake.up.america]

18. I talked to a guy yesterday, a person who is very bright. He claims...

Bush looks mentally ill.

[APPLE314]

19. LEAVE HIM IN TILL 2008 ELECTIONS ARE OVER

IMPEACH HIM AFTER PRESIDENTIAL VOTE. HUMILIATE HIM. THEN DEBAR GONZALES.

Get all the mileage out of the jerk while you can. His approval ratings will go to 5% or total number of relatives, whichever is less.

[Dr. Jones]

21. Not quite the same thing.

Impeach him ASAP. Do you know how much MORE damage he can do in 2 years? LOTS. And he's trying his damndest.
