‘Impeach Bush’ chorus grows - Times Online - UK

[helderheid]

Sarah Baxter, Washington
THE movement to impeach President George W Bush over the war on terror began with a few tatty bumper stickers on the back of battered old Volvos and slogans such as “Bush lied, people died” on far-left websites. But as Democrat hopes rise of gaining control of Congress this autumn, dreams of impeaching Bush are no longer confined to the political fringe.

A poll last week found that voters, by 50% to 37%, would prefer the Democrats to win control of Congress. If Bush’s opponents find themselves in a position of power, the temptation to humiliate him is likely to be irresistible.

A taste of the battle to come was provided last week by Senator Russ Feingold, a popular choice for the 2008 presidential nomination among Democrat anti-war activists. He proposed a motion of censure against Bush for authorising the National Security Agency to wiretap Americans suspected of links to terrorism without a court warrant.

Feingold gave notice that the party should stop “cowering” before Bush on national security issues. “If there’s any Democrat out there who can’t say the president has no right to make up his own laws, I don’t know if that Democrat really is the right (presidential) candidate,” he said.

5. You bet, do something and do it now, yesterday would have been alright

2. I've seen the same article in Le Monde

looks that the European media are wakening about the internal situation in the US...

3. As it stands now if we impeach * we get **eney. How is

that better? We need to take back the house and senate in 2006 and show the American people that we are the best hope for saving our nation in 2008. One rabid dog is not better than another rabid dog and all we have in the order of cession are rabid dogs.

9. We've got plenty of charges to bring against Cheney

Pelosi for President in '07.

[Warren Stupidity]

13. It is about rule of law and accountibility.

Those issues transcend mundane issues like 'but we get Cheney' or 'we get Hastert'. What we get is these criminals held to account for their crimes. That would be a good thing. Unambiguously good.

12. "the temptation to humiliate him is likely to be irresistible."

Oh bullshit. I knew this would eventually get its way round to spinning impeachment as retribution. How about "the obligation to hold the bush regime accountible for what it has done for the last five years would prove irresistible".

16. Exactly! I thought the same thing when I read that.

14. "temptation to humiliate"

A poll last week found that voters, by 50% to 37%, would prefer the Democrats to win control of Congress. If Bush’s opponents find themselves in a position of power, the temptation to humiliate him is likely to be irresistible.

NO!

It is their DUTY to hold this administration ACCOUNTABLE for its CRIMES.
