| Re: It's about time we didn't impeach slick willy for his lack of action, we won't impeach bush for his actions.
Only action slick willy took was in the Oval office/orface.  |

| Re: It's about time Impeach Bush.
You'll wind up with Cheney, dumbasses.
Of course, you could then impeach him and end up with Hastert.  |

| Re: It's about time The democratic national committee should shut this down immediately, or lose all hope of gaining any ground in the house and senate. But the leadership (and I use that term loosely) are themselves responsible for the "victimhood" mentality and back-bencher-permanent-minority-fringe corporate culture of the party now.
The reason Bush is in office is because the democratic party is too stupid and corrupt to nominate someone who could win.
Get rid of Dean, respectfully oppose the war and the presidency, offer a realistic strategy to get out, and get a candidate who isn't a complete whining loser for '08.
Or you might get to keep those "Impeach Bush" signs for Jeb.
And this is coming from an elected dem who might get busy and form a local third party. |

| Re: It's about time If Clinton didn't get impeached for immoral actions, and lets see - LYING, then I can't see Bush getting canned. People just like something to whine about. There have been Anti-Bush campains from day one.
This is nothing more than a Political game in order to pursuade the American Public to vote Dem in "08". I say let's stop being divided and vote for the best man and not for a Party.
And yes I said best "man". Trust me, Hillary was President, it was just under Bill's name. I don't want to see that happen again. I thought we were to learn from our mistakes. |

The Democrats with some backbone (I know, there are very few of them) should get together with the Republicans who are not crazy (I know again, not very many) and form a third party. They would be well educated, fiscally conservative, socially responsible, constitutionalists. Wait....I think this party existed once in history. Now what were they called again.......Oh yeah......... Republicans. |

| Re: It's about time I've read points of view from intelligent people on both sides of the issue. If it was clear cut, then they would have started the impeachment process already...
Tough issue with a lot of facets...

| Re: It's about time No he won't it's his mode here...
I'm guessing he's alluding to the interpretation of "High crimes and misdemeanors"...ala the Slick Willy debacle....
The left can't let go of it, so they now view impeachment as a punitive measure for things they don't "like"....simple as that....

But I was hoping he would at least make up a "fact" to back up his false claim. |
