I had a nightmare. President Bush was impeached.

In November 2006, Democratic majorities swept into both houses of Congress. After taking office in January, the new Committee Chairs began to hold hearings by February, 2007. The Bush administration stonewalled, but damning information slowly but steadily came to light. In June, Cheney suddenly resigned due to “health issues.” Bush appointed John McCain as his new Vice President. By August 2007, new and revolting information brought the entire Bush administration to its knees. Bush was impeached in November, but resigned before a Senate trial could take place.

President John McCain was sworn into office in December, 2007, and appointed Gen. Colin Powell as his new Vice President. The next day McCain pardoned Bush, Cheney, and ten other top members of the Administration. The Congress continued its investigations, but the press ridiculed Congress for “beating a dead horse.” With everybody already pardoned, what was the point? Less than a year after President McCain was sworn into office, while he was still in the “honeymoon phase” of his relationship with a deeply enamoured press, he ran for reelection.

Pres. John McCain and V.P. Powell were reelected in 2008, after their campaign to “Bring Americans Together” won them strong support across the heartland.

All over the United States, Democrats drank anti-freeze and slit their wrists.


P.S. I hate, hate, hate to say this, but maybe we’d be better off if Bush weren’t impeached. Maybe it would be better to spend two years investigating everything under the sun, allowing Bush (with his then 10% approval rating) and his party to limp together into the election of 2008.

Are we really going to be better off if we give someone like McCain a headstart on 2008?
