Impeachment Poll

You knew it was coming. Or I should probably say they as there will be a few.

Just curious what the initial feelings are.

Congress must aggressively pursue legislation meaningful to the American public while also conduction investigations

If bu$h doesn't clean house and soon as it may appear he is starting to do. Then maybe impeachment is in order. I so want him to be impeached but fear that if a newly elected Democratic congress goes right in and start prosecuting, 2 years from now will be a blood bath of Democrats.
We need some real reform in this country to address the corruption and fix what has been damaged by the total republican disregard for the American people.

Enough of the taxpayer's money has been spent on losing propositions.

NGU.

can be put to better use, dammit), and the result is pointless, because believe me, without a conviction the whole process is pointless.

And if your point is doing the right thing to show this bunch of clowns that they aren't going to get their way anymore, what do you think Tuesday night said?

We have a lot of messes to clean up. Impeachment (that leads nowhere) is a long, drawn out process. And yes, we control the house and Senate, but not by a big enough margin to accomplish anything.

Hell, I thought we were going into this with the intent of being the party of fiscal responsibility and to clean up all the crap that these guys have gotten us into the past six years. You people want to spend MILLIONS WE CAN'T AFFORD on a process that we can't win.

...of responsibility - period. That means serving justice, wherever it leads us.

NGU.

and then we will know who to remove from congress 2008

:grr:

We need to undo everything bad that Bush has done-including Bush himself. We need to do so in the most expedient manner to show not only America, but the rest of the world that we are serious about fixing things, and that we care not only about our place in the world, but about the rest of the world as well.

I figured that this poll will be put up more than once and it would be best to just start with a simple one and let people improve its wording for future polls.

The American people have to know the reasons for Congressional action. (Not that many won't applaud a */Cheney impeachment, even without hearings.) But the hearings have to come first for impeachment to be guaranteed the legitimacy it so richly deserves.

around here. It's a process, not an event.

or get them out of a prison they are being held in without charge, right of counsel, right of trial.

Just as the Clinton impeachment was viewed by a few Republicans as valid, but by the majority of the American people as negative politics, any effort to start impeachment proceedings on Bush would, in my humble opinion, be perceived as negative politics and probably hurt the Democrats badly for 2008.

The subpoena power, oversight hearings in Congressional and Senate committees, chaired by Democrats, will bring out the bad stuff and as it trickles out, there will either be such a level of pure outrage from the American people that Bush and Cheney are virtually "run out of town on a rail" and you have the Nixon/Agnew resignation activity instead of an impeachment trial, OR there will just be enough problems identified to keep the Republican insanity under control for the next two years with a positive platform for Democrats to win the White House in 2008.

I would love to see the oversight stuff start with Cheney and challenge him about being required to respond to a congressional subpoena. Hearings on Gates are going to be interesting also.

If the Democrats are as sharp and smart as I think WE are, we won't repeat Republican mistakes.

unduly influenced by Corporate lobbyists ----get 'em out. I would much prefer Mr. Bush resign when the cloud of taint gets thick enough. We have too much to do to get bogged down in impeachment. The people want change and positive results for them. Make Bush the marginalized figure he needs to be. Drain the NeoCon swamp and restore American dignity ---- for ALL.

Tackle catastrophic climate change! Do it NOW! Show ALL the people that we can ALL benefit by cleaning out the corruption. Broaden the base and move very positively to '08! That's the way to do it, imho.

now. It's not as though there is any mystery here to be solved.

:thumbsup:

yet, they'll avoid even that.

Let the investigations drive the impeachement - we know that there are things to find - look at how much wrongdoing has popped out while they weren't being seriously investigated! Let's take a good hard look at them and when the evidence is discovered, nail them to the wall with it.

I'm glad people are so far giving the more pragmatic approach the thumbs up.

No need to go hog wild - unless the evidence forces our hand :evilgrin:

He'll be too busy trying to avoid being prosecuted for all his old crimes to commit new ones.

And that can only be good for our country.

IMHO

Do NOT freaking do that.

I can't believe that people are still thinking this is a good idea. How many of these discussions must we have before people "get it?"

I see a lot of people hollering for impeachment elsewhere but not many votes here.

I meant option 2 to mean, don't really focus on impeachment but if hearings cause public uproar or something big enough is turned up then go there.

Of course, I don't think there is anyway to actually get an impeachment in time. But the investigations will sure be fun!

Is there any way we can get McCain caught up in them too?

...have been saying all along. Despite how trolls have tried to twist their words.

NGU.

so he can't be pardoned. REAL JAIL TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!

and the spinners are spinning. The longer we wait the more evidence will have vanished, including witnesses.

What's the HELL is wrong with them? Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome?

Goddammit! There are Americans DYING IN IRAQ right now, people being tortured in Bushler prison camps, and people suffering right here in New Orleans over a year after the storm.... FUCK! :mad:

If Dems aren't prodded and poked they'll sit on their butts and dial for dollars the next two years. Like we have to urge them not to do anything rash?

:shrug:

I think it is more practical for option 2 right now

So that we can have as many people as possible that know stuff to come forward in the coming investigations. This has been controlled in every of the other previous "whistleblower protection" bills, that it's high time that this get put in place! Sibel Edmonds, Russell Tice, and all of the rest of us people here would be MOST grateful for this to happen!

Get the horse before the cart.

And then if it leans down that road, so be it.

That is the best option.
