We have the evidence, and half of the country may agree.

2. I have
no idea but it sounds like a wonderful one! These rat bastards impeached Bill Clinton over lying about consensual sex! You would THINK something could be done about all of the lies, spin, TREASON, murder, etc committed by these facist pigs from hell...but then, again, we thought we could put Kerry in OUR House. Go figger!

4. I would hope there would be
some method to impeach when the president has committed demonstrable crimes but the Congress is monopolized by the presidents own party.
Maybe not, but I'd like to know if the founders ever considered this situation.

6. In the real world, not here in fantasy land
WE. HAVE. NO. POWER.

And time is running out.

Middle America, damn them, has spoken.

They don't want: 1)Gay Marriage, 2) Gun Control 3)Partial Birth Abortion, tax Dollars spent on any abortion or minors being allowed to get abortions without parental consent.

If we don't give up these ideas for NOW, we will be completely destroyed as a party.

Republicans control all 3 branches of government. They will be appointing up to 3 Scalia clones to the Supreme Court. 5 more seats in the Senate and they have filibuster proof control.

Once that happens, watch out. The will pass new sodomy laws and prosecute the gays. They will pass laws that gays can't be teachers. No one will be able to get an abortion. And we still won't have gun control.

We are more than a party of the above. We are a party of a clean environment, reigning in corporate control, taking care of the poor, good jobs, etc.

We can win back enough of middle America to begin regaining strength, but it must require restraint, wisdom
anda determination to beat the Republicans at their own game.

Watch the names I get called for speaking the cold, hard truth. But it needs to be said, if we are to survive.

3. No, unfortunately
Only the House of Representatives can impeach a president, and since they're dominated by Republicans, there would be almost no chance of persuading them to initiate the process.

7. Right except for the "almost" part.
It's not even between slim and none.
It's just none.
