A public call for Bush's impeachment

It is apparent that no matter what Bush does. our brave congress people will never move to impeach Bush for malfeasance. I wonder how they would respond to a ground swell of their constituents contacting them and requesting {demanding] such action.

They would ignore the will of the people they have sworn to serve, as usual.

And what percentage of american citizens presently wish for Bush to change his policies and begin removing American kids from out of harm's way?

Irrelevant. It is obvious from all objective observations that THIS Congress, given the so-called MANDATE OF THE PEOPLE, now controlled by the Democratic Party, has done nothing to date, in accordance with their promises made during the campaign.

What makes anyone think this Congress has the testiculiar fortitude to make the difficult decisions? What track record have they sown that would make me believe they can do what "needs to be done"?

I do recall hearing somewhere that there is absolutely no desire to seek impeachment. If Bush was not 1 year away from the end of his final term, I'm sure things would be different. Correct me if I am wrong, but I think they just want to allow him to do as he has always done--be a natural born f*ck-up and deter as many people as possible from the Republican party. Impeachment is a long, dirty and expensive process. Bush can do more damage for himself and his party by being himself than the Dems can do to him through impeachment.

And in this thread so far, not a single statement of grounds for impeachment, much less grounds that conform to the Constitution.

Let me fix that for you: Gross negligence and incompetence, outright law-breaking (FISA), lying to Congress (Iraqi WMD intel), mismanaging a war, Politicizing the DoJ. All impeachable offenses.

True, however, can you imagine the damage that blithering idiot can do in the remaining 17 months left in his term.
Were he the CEO of a company large or small he would have been out on his ass long ago. However, being the idiot leader of IMO a stupid electorate there he sits ready to do his worst. Stupid, because it took the 6 years to finally see what a dangerous moron he is.

Brandon, there is a long and distinguished list of people who advocate impeachment on many different levels, with many different charges....from constitutional lawyers, to republican and democrat politicians, to war veterans groups.
Besides, the will Congress can determine the grounds for impeachment...they are not bound solely by "treason, bribery, high crimes and misdeameanors" as grounds for impeachment.

Wouldnt that mean that, should he be impeached, found guilty, and removed from office, that DICK CHENEY would inherit the joystick?

As the de facto president, it would actually be him we impeach.

I'm willing to let bush stay; without Cheney, he is powerless.

You're Welcome.

Your post was not irrelevant. What was irrelevant was the question regarding the about what percentage of Americans wna Bush to change policy.

Unfortuantely, in America today our Executive Brnach and the Senate do not really care what their citizens opinions are. These politicians are only interested in :

1. Raising money from Rich Fat Cats
2. Using that money to get re-elected

Bush's joystick is probably as soft as his brain. I would like to tell Chaney where he should stick it. :wink:

I don't see why not. It may be more difficult to execute a two-fer.
