is it just me or...

can we find a half dozen reasons or more to impeach bush, but due to the fact that the republicans controls the house and congress, that will never happen.

1. I don't know

The problem with impeachment is that it is a pretty heavy stick to throw around--so it's not just that Republicans control the house. It's also would Democrats really agree to take that political risk. It could backfire (ask Newt Gingrich for example).

2. excuse me, isn't illegally invading a country based on a promise...

that a country had wmd, only to find out they were never there and then have your president make jokes about it and laughing and smiling a reason alone to impeach?

4. well, if we hold them to THEIR STANDARDS yes, plenty of reason

Remember it was the lying not the sex, which they used to justify impeaching Clinton...Chimpy and group has lied over and over, now, if they include in their standards Lied Under Oath...well, that's different, I think Condi is the only one sworn in while lieing...

But if enough Republicans just get sick of it and decide to join the Dems in getting him out, there is a chance...Christy Todd Whitmen seems to be working on the Mods or real Conservatives, maybe they'll come to their senses yet....

7. The control is what you need to grasp

How do you control people and make them do things against their seemly better judgement?

8. Torture?

I think this is a really big reason. We should never have a torturer in office representing the American people.
