9. If that's true,
it certainly illustrates the hypocrisy of some, who SAY they want action, but who vote, not for the candidate that actually does what they want, but for those who don't measure up.

2. Why would anyone in their right mind NOT want that baffoon IMPEACHED?
I am so sick and tired of politicians only worried about their campaigns! They need to do and say what is right and let the chips fall where they may. To quote MLK Jr.--
It is always the right time to do the right thing.

3. I wonder why we can't get enough votes to impeach...
Even Russ Feingold doesn't want to impeach Bush.

After the next few months, perhaps a censure vote could be made with enough votes from both sides. I'm sure 80% of the Republicans running in 2008 would like to say they slapped Bush on his little soft hands with a censure.

10. Two reasons...
1 - You can impeach him today, but the senate is guaranteed to not convict him. Net result... he's still in office.

2 - If you could boot him from office and say put Pelosi in office tomorrow then you have a year and a half for the MSM to focus all the pain that will come from fixing *'s screwups squarly on the democratic party and it would "surge" the republican's in 2008 not us. You need *'s smirking face as the recipient of all the earned ire of the american people between now and then to continue the 2006 trend. The day after he leaves office... send him to the hague

11. right here
Linda was a little more on topic, and confronted Clinton with the question of Impeachment. Clinton tilted her head with a wry smile and said “Well, I certainly sympathize with the (Impeachment) sentiment!” She turned to us and smiled adding “We’re going to impeach them in November 2008!”

Asked by a questioner why he didn't support impeaching Vice President Dick Cheney, Edwards said, "I totally understand the feeling" but said he thought Democrats' energy could be better spent "moving the country forward."

7. Well, I don't know about anyone else

But that loses any vote I would give to any of them. Not that I was going actually vote for them, they aren't progressive enough for me anyway. If they are not for impeachment, then they are not for the Constitution. Haven't we had enough of that?

8. Our founders wrote the Constitution specifically for the situation we
have faced for the last six plus years. Because a previous congress made a mockery of the Constitution when they used it vindictively against President Clinton, we are stuck in a quagmire of mud up to our necks.

Impeachment has never been more necessary than today! Follow the light, save our nation, break out of the doldrums, join Dennis Kucinich and co-sponsor his bill for impeachment!

19. Impeachment could hurt the Democrats
Edited on Thu Jun-28-07 06:33 PM by Perry Logan
Consider the possibility that impeachment proceedings against Bush and/or Cheney could give them some much-needed sympathy--especially with the right-wing sound machine pitching for them the whole way.

Bush and Cheney would suddenly be on the defensive. The Democrats could be portrayed as partisan vengeance-seekers. We could lose a lot of votes in an ugly mêlée.

It might even be that your elected leaders know a little of what they're doing. I would urge you all to try to be a bit less dogmatic about impeachment. It sounds great, but it could easily do more harm than good.
