Reply #14: Probably because it would be a waste of time

[paulk]

with the Republicans controlling both houses of Congress, any attempts at impeachment would have to start with the Republicans. The only way I can see that kind of uprising is if polls start showing that Bush's demise is going to lose them the Congress also - and even then I can't see them going after one of their own.

Also - whether we want to be there or not, we are at war - and it would be very easy to paint an impeachment attempt as unpatriotic. Besides, it would hamstring the government at a time when we, as a nation, can't really afford it. IMHO.
