1. As much as I dislike Bush, trying to |
|
impeach him over Katrina will set a very bad precedent for future administrations, including democratic ones.
plus if you are going to jail bush for his lack of action / inaction, their are several local, state politicians that can just as easily have the case made for their incompetence and incarceration.
Just call them as I see them. There is LOTS of blame to go around.
If you think a democratic administration would have done better, you don't have a clue on why government in general doesn't respond well to disasters of this nature like they do. Governments are mostly made up of bureaucrats, with one sole mission in life: CYA: it doesn't matter what political stripe they are.

9. Set the Precedent already |
|
Since it is very obvious that most if not all Bush appointees are based on political connections and not competence or experience, setting a precedent of getting rid of them would mean a better democracy,no? Any Democrats of a similar cover your ass once you've killed several thousand - or even one - of the citizens whose government you work for should also get the same.

4. Bush is going nowhere. |
|
He is a puppet. They need him out front for now, and when they don't THEN, and only then will he be gone.

6. Bill Maher joked about... |
|
...recalling Bush the way California recalled Gray Davis. Why can't we do that? Recall him and have new elections. Doesn't it just require getting a certain number of signatures?

7. UHHH...no. Getting rid of the President doesn't work that way. |
|
You have to have the houses of Congress impeach a President to remove him.

I like the idea of having new elections instead of just having more republican fill in.

Let him stay there in a little shack forever.
Send Cheney too.
