For those of you clamoring for impeachment:

[Brigid]

Have you thought about the fact that it would result in this man occupying the Oval Office?

?

I'm not saying Bush doesn't deserve impeachment. He does, along with everyone else in the criminal enterprise called the Bush administration (I prefer to call it the Bush regime). But I'm not prepared to put up with Cheney in the Oval Office, even for a short period. Are you?

[Wapsie B]

1. That's why any real move towards impeachment

would've meant removing Cheney first. I say would've because at this late stage in the game I have little hope that this administration will ever have to answer for the things they've done to this country. These people are a prime justification for anyone who does not believe in karma.

4. "That's why any real move towards impeachment would've meant removing Cheney first"

Gee, ya *think*??

Maybe *that's* why Kucinich brought the Articles of Impeachment against Cheney first? Last Year?

:shrug:

Just a guess....

[Wapsie B]

8. Uh yeah he did.

But as far as I can see nothing has been done beyond that. This might be ok if it were 2005 but it's mid-2008. Articles or no, impeachment is dead in the water. Most of the Democratic Party is taking Scalia's advice and moving on. But at least with Kucinich bringing the Articles of Impeachment the party can say that it at least tried to do something. Too little, too late however.

2. This lousy criminal is an accessory and uncovering his ass

would probably not be good on his barely pumping heart. :dem:

[proud2BlibKansan]

3. No it wouldn't

Pay attention. Cheney goes FIRST.

[Joe Fields]

5. Won't happen.

Why? Because the process takes so long that the clock would run out on Bush's term.

Still, we must try the bastard in the Senate. The sooner, the better.

[RaleighNCDUer]

6. And making him directly accountable for everything he's been doing

behind the scenes for the past seven years is wrong, how?

He's ALWAYS been the one in charge. He has all the fun and none of the repercussions.

[Echo In Light]

9. The same as Reagan/Bush - even took the same page from their playbook

7. Please . . . provide a graphic warning next time you post such pic

:puke: :puke: :puke:

[mmonk]

10. I believe articles have been drawn up on him as well.

There's no rule that says only one can be impeached. An inquiry is what provides the evidence. Without it, he remains in power and above the constitution and law. No checks, no balances.

[madokie]

11. as a pair they appeared before Fitzgerald in the Plame outing and as a pair

they will face impeachment

[bdamomma]

12. maybe both of them could be affected.

that is why impeaching Cheney should have been done, he is the one who is pulling the strings.

[dkofos]

13. He has run the Oval office for going on 8 years now. What's the difference?

[klyon]

15. His name is not listed in history books as Pres.

I would hate to see Chaney"s name there even if he only served a few months. The legal questions about impeaching both at once would go on or years. I don't have an answer but fear the worst. At least we need public hearings on both of them. The people need to know.

[ThatsMyBarack]

14. "I AM smiling!"

Well, you can stop now. You need some serious dental work!

[LWolf]

16. That's why

DK introduced articles of impeachment, just as valid, for Cheney first.

Too bad complicit Democrats haven't acted.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

17. His high crimes and misdemeanors will come out in the Sentate trial and lead to his

being removed from office too. Resignation will come first.

Pelosi might wind up in the oval office instead.

[lpbk2713]

18. Right now Deadeye Dick has it pretty easy. He doesn't really do very much.

With his ticker the way it is, if he had to step up to fill
in for Shit-for-Brains the stress might just do him in.

Still think impeachment is such a bad idea?

[lonestarnot]

19. Have you forgotten that there are Articles pending against this bitch too?

[Ichingcarpenter]

20. This is a poor excuse not to impeach

The impeachment process would take us well into the fall
and even after Obama took office.

[Donald Ian Rankin]

21. The man it would put into the Oval Office is McCain.

Impeachment procedings against Bush wouldn't put Cheney into the oval office, because they wouldn't succeed in removing Bush from it.

But they would effectively sabotage Obama's electoral campaign.

[goodhue]

22. You seem to miss the point that we are advocating for a process, not a result

I want hearings on presidential crimes. I have no expectation that articles of impeachment will actually be sent from house to senate. The point is to have the investigative hearings into crimes. Is it that hard to understand?

The impeachment of Bill Clinton did not result in president Al Gore.

Geez.
