This is so sad, since when did the legislature have the right to determine for the American people that a President was worthy of an Impeachment, for lying to the people.

If Bush did lie...then the people should not re-elect him if they didn't like that.

But if Bush did lie there is an equally good chance people would understand why, because Saddam NEEDED to be gotten rid of.

Instead now we'll have to live under a Democratic dictatorship!

This will mean Civil War. Because if Bush is impeached for an "unimpeachable" event (misinformation in the State of the Union is not an impeachable event), then a Democratic loser will be placed in his stead by default.

You'll have Nevada Idaho, Montana, Utah, Texas, NM, AZ, probably OK, Iowa, Nebraska, probably Whyoming probably the Dakotas, probably Kansas, seceeding from the Union before 5 years are out....I bet you.

Graham obviously hasn't read the constitution.

"He replied, "If the standard of impeachment that the Republicans set for Bill Clinton - a personal, consensual relationship"

The constitution states that an immoral act by the president such as adultery (what Clinton did), is an impeachable offense.

isn't the only one calling for impeachment. John Dean (Not Howard, John)is also calling for impeachment!How much longer are the blind Bush loyalist gonna defend him>If they had a video of him clearly killing someone, they wouldn't believe their eyes.Instead they'd blame the Democrats!

Correct.

John Dean.
Not Howard Dean.
Not John Howard.

falcon's source article is a right-wing rebuttal of the impeachment case presented by Graham, meant to confuse the reader into believing Graham has retracted his position.

There are billions of people calling for Bush's impeachment and removal, but not yet where it counts.

You don't think this has anything to do with Graham running for president does it?

Your point? John Dean isn't running for President! Besides,look at the people who were salivating for Clinton to be impeached back in 1994-95!

Interesting.

Impeachment shouldn't be a political platform for an opponent, no.

But citizens should be able to bring sufficient pressure to bear on a criminal administration, to be rid of it.

I think for freedom to exist, that must have potential to occur outside the election cycle, and without recourse to the Second Amendment.

I may stand corrected, as usual, but I for one thought Dean is running for president.... Might be the wrong "Dean-thingy" I'm refering to.

*EDIT* I stand corrected...Howard Dean.

Graham Floats Political Suicide?

my point is the dems are really, really having a hard time politically. The war debacle is their mantra. It is suicide as someone just mentioned. If the economy continues to improve and lets say some decent wmd evidence is found and/or Saddam/bin laden is caught - what are their issues going to be? They'll find themselves back to square one bitching about 'looting'


This, to me, is a really problem for the Dems. They have some real lefties running for pres (dean/kucinich) who are driving the moderates away (people that support Lieberman). I'd like to see a strong Dem platform, even though I typically don't vote dem, but I am just not seeing it.

I don't see why the blind bush haters don't realize that there is no grounds for impeachment?

The Dems have PLENTY of ammo to use against Bush.They have their choice to take their pick & if the economy is still in the hole this time next year,the odds will be in more in their favor.Thats unless Bush strikes gold twice & theres another attack!

Either Fool's gold, or alchemy, would be more likely.

I wouldn't go so far as to say the Dem's have a lot of ammo but there are definitely issues Bush is weak on. First and foremost is the fact that even though the economy has shown a tiny improvement the jobless rate is still at a historical high.

This joined with the fact that Bush's new tax cuts will significantly cut back government revenue from stocks and other high dollar taxes will mean that a true economic recovery is not only unlikely but its almost certain that it won't happen.

When people see how much this war with Iraq is costing them in monetary value and in young soldiers lives Bush better damn well have a good reason for it. And two abondoned trailers with no signs of any chemical or biological agents don't count.

I can see signs of many voters coming out specifically because they don't agree with Bush's skewing of evidence to fight this war he drug us into. I for one never thought Bush came off as bringing morality to the white house like he claimed when he was running for office.

As with anything time will tell and I just hope we get our troops out of Iraq ASAP while theres still some left.
