Do You Support Impeachment Of George W. Bush?

[ThomWV]

The Constitution offerers impeachment as a means to remove miscreants from office.

Many have suggested that George W. Bush should be impeached, others have suggested that impeachment would some how be bad for the country.

What do you think?

[bdamomma]

1. he should of been in jail a long time ago

[focusfan]

15. i agree with you 100%

:thumbsup: 

[Lochloosa]

19. Welcome to DU focusfan!

:party:

Uh...who is focus?:shrug:

[EnviroBat]

2. I can't believe I was the first vote in this pole!

Nothing like that ever happens to me...

[proud2BlibKansan]

7. I think you mean poll

[ixion]

3. need the HELL YES category

'cause 'yes' just ain't strong enough. ;-)

[liberalmuse]

20. LOL, my thought exactly! n/m

n/m

[Lowell]

4. Upon Conviction

send him to Iraq to fulfill the service obligation he shirked in the TANG.

[MiniMe]

5. I support oversight and investigation

And if the investigations turn up cause to impeach him (which we know they will if they are done honestly), then they can impeach the bastard. To impeach without investigation would be just as wrong as all of the things that *co has done in the past 6 years.

11. You can't impeach *without* an investigation

Impeachment is the process.

6. A crime is a crime, it doesn't matter who did it.

And they must be held accountable for their actions. We cannot make exceptions because it will disrupt things, or create more problems. American is a land of laws, and they must be obeyed and respected by all. If Bush and his cronies have broken the law, violated the Constitution, violated their oath of office, or anything else, they must be taken to task over it.

Anything less is a mockery of our laws and total disrespect for the brave and wise men who founded our country. We could sure use a few people like them today.

8. There's another I

Impeach, indict, imprison, IMPALE.

[livvy]

9. Cheney must go, too. It might be more important to get him the hell out of

the White House, than the pretzelnut. Actually the whole White House and a good portion of the Pentagon needs to be cleared, cleaned, and disinfected.

[madokie]

24. Actually it is his handlers who are so dangerous not simple george

alone he is but a simpleton

[whistle]

10. Add Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld to that as well

[Sherman A1]

12. Absolutely

Investigation, Impeachment and then trials in U.S. Courts and the Hague for War Crimes.

[lectrobyte]

13. Only if Cheney goes with him. He's running things anyway.

[NotGivingUp]

14. his ass...and the rest of his adminishtrashun...should've been

locked up a loooong time ago.

[marmar]

16. Impeachment would be a minor first step toward justice....

These meglamaniacal bastards need to rot in a Medieval prison.

[MoonRiver]

17. Lieberman is on DU!

His is one of the few "no" votes. :eyes:

[Virginia Dare]

18. I voted other...

because I don't see how President Cheney would be any improvement at all.

[ProfessorGAC]

27. Toothlessness?

As the VP of a failed, criminal administration, it very well may be he'd be a toothless tiger. All the attitude and bluster in the world wouldn't help him.

Just a thought.

21. If the order was right

1.) Dem control of Congress
2.) Quickly impeach Cheney
3.) * must name a replacement palatable to the Senate
4.) Go for *, and don't stop at impeachment, set the bastard up for the Hague.

[electropop]

29. Gotta take 'em together,

then (if I recall correctly) President Pelosi would take power.

[ThomWV]

30. Your's Is The Perfect Plan

I agree completely!

[neilepi]

22. It has to be both of them

and both of them are culpable.

23. after all convictions a public hanging

I want to see him shit his pants

[Coyote_Bandit]

25. I'd prefer to see a real focus

on meaningful change in our government - followed by an effort to bring the whole cadre of crooks to justice.

I can think of nothing much worse than an impeachment effort that serves to mobilize the right wing kooks for the next election while simulataneously distracting Dems from selling their vision.

[metamorph]

26. I prefer not to waste my time

on useless grandstanding. If we take back the House in November, a simple majority would be enough to impeach (indict) the Shrub. But in order to convict him in the Senate, we'd need a two-thirds majority. That ain't happening this year. In fact, presuming that no Repuke would vote to convict the Liar-in-Chief, it's mathematically impossible.

[Double T]

28. Absolutely NOT; we need to focus on winning back the House.....

and Senate FIRST, THEN the White House SECOND. If the Democrats control Congress, then bush is essentially neutralized for the rest of his term. Impeachment of bush would lead to his replacement by cheney and I believe cheney would actually be worse for our country than bush, if that is possible. Democrats need to start using their heads FIRST and our hearts SECOND, at least until we have eradicated the scourge from within the beltway.

[ThomWV]

32. We Can't Impeach Until We Take The House - So You're Right and Wrong

You're right, we need to take the Congress before we take the Presidency, but its implied we will at least control the House of Representatives, because without that we could not impeach the bastard.

[pansypoo53219]

31. without their posterboy, georgie

dickie would NOT be able to get away with squat. he would be contained, like sadaam was. scare tactics would not be enough.

[Bill McBlueState]

33. Yes

Now -- it may not be the most politically savvy move at any particular time, but in principle, what offense is more impeachable than lying to America to get support for a war?

[bdamomma]

34. hey if one gets impeached the rest of them can go also.

all the king's horses(asses) and all the king's men.

[Jed Dilligan]

35. I don't think of it as a tool to remove him from office,

I think of it as a way of making amends to the international community for the damage he has done to it, and signalling our intention to never again raise up such a "leader."
