Poll: Americans Favor Bush's Impeachment If He Lied about Iraq

By a margin of 50% to 44%, Americans want Congress to consider impeaching President Bush if he lied about the war in Iraq, according to a new poll commissioned by AfterDowningStreet.org, a grassroots coalition that supports a Congressional investigation of President Bush's decision to invade Iraq in 2003.


David Swanson's diary :: ::

The poll was conducted by Ipsos Public Affairs, the highly-regarded non-partisan polling company. The poll interviewed 1,001 U.S. adults on October 6-9.

The poll found that 50% agreed with the statement:

"If President Bush did not tell the truth about his reasons for going to war with Iraq, Congress should consider holding him accountable by impeaching him."

44% disagreed, and 6% said they didn't know or declined to answer. The poll has a +/- 3.1% margin of error.

Among those who felt strongly either way, 39% strongly agreed, while 30% strongly disagreed.

"The results of this poll are truly astonishing," said AfterDowningStreet.org co-founder Bob Fertik. "Bush's record-low approval ratings tell just half of the story, which is how much Americans oppose Bush's policies on Iraq and other issues. But this poll tells the other half of the story - that a solid plurality of Americans want Congress to consider removing Bush from the White House."

1. The key here is "IF" he lied.

I bet you won't be able to convince about half the population that he lied.

These people are so brainwashed by the corporate media that they honestly still believe that * is a "moral, Christian man" who would NEVER lie. Their thought process never includes the fact that he's ruined the country, taken us to war for no legitimate reason, sat throned over the deaths of hundreds of thousands and bilked the middle class to save the rich - none of which are Christian principles.

In their thoughts, as long as Bush isn't getting BJs in the Oval Office from an intern, he's still a "Christian." :eyes:

3. Not surprising considering most of America disapproves of Bush's

handling of everything from the price of gas and Social Security to the Iraq war and the economy.
