Bernie Sanders; impeachment of Bush shouldn't be a top priority
Advertisements [?]
Bernie Sanders was on the Thom Hartmann show today, and the subject of impeachment came up. Bernie surprised me by saying that impeaching Bush, if the Democrats win the House, should not be a top priority. He said that the main priority for the Democrats is to fix the problems Bush has caused since he took office in 2001. He cited health care, changing foreign policy, the enviornment, and a whole range of issues that Bush has screwed up.
Hartmann suggested that impeaching Bush would be looked upon as and eye for an eye thing, and Sanders agreed with that assessment. You see, even if the Democrats regain the House, impeaching Bush, at least to one of the house members is not at the top of his list to get done. Now, further down the road, it probably would come up, but even then, with solid Republicans, and some southern conservative Democrats voting no, impeaching Bush certainly would not be an easy thing to do.


Do you agree with Sanders or not??
