Impeachment or not?
If Bu$h would be impeached that means that Cheney takes over as President and they name a new Vice President. Part of me thinks that this gives the Rightwing a fresh start in the next couple years before the election to regroup. Also, they could name their predecessor by naming a new Vice President (Condi Rice?) and they could then be in position to run in 2008 as the incumbant.

Wouldn't it be better to just let the Republicans dig their hole deeper than bail them out by impeachment or is impeachment a big enough setback that it will resonate with voters and hurt Republicans chances in 08 no matter what.

1. Don't Give A Fuck If Satan Himself Took Over
It would be an improvement.

2. NO!!!
HE MUST GO NOW.

Once The Monkey is impeached, it won't matter what happens after that.
They will ALL be finished.

PERIOD.

3.  Cheney is even less popular than Bush. We'd impeach him next.

4. Even if we don't, his serious health problems may prevent him from...
...becoming president.

Cheney's heart condition is a lot worse than the media is letting on.

5. I see GW doing a Nixon
blame the VP for everything, then fire the VP and entrench another VP, Sort of like Agnew being replaced by Ford.

7. The point of Impeachment is that we have the power
We have the power to stop them from overreaching in our name.

WE HAVE THE POWER - WE THE PEOPLE

If Cheney is installed, he will be installed neutered because Bush was impeached - If Bush is impeached, isn't Cheney guilty of the same illegal activities?

You getting this yet? We the people - We have the power.

8. We are either a country of laws or a country of men
who may or may not be above the law. If we determine that the statutory laws of this nation are "advisory" and can be broken at will by our leaders, then we are a democracy in name only. It matters not who the men involved are - THEY MUST BE IMPEACHED!!!!
