From the Capitol Hill newspaper: Plans laid for impeachment.
Legislation is being drafted to impeach Bush.
Edited to add brief thoughts on the matter: It would be great if it happened, but that's a long shot.

They're wasting time. This isn't going to happen.
Honestly, if you want to protest the war, fine, more power to you, but don't go off on dumbass crusades like this that will lead nowhere.

I'm studying for the CPA exam. Have a nice summer, and if you're down just sit back and realize that Joe is off somewhere, doing much worse than you are.

Seriously. I almost feel sorry for Gephardt and Daschle (but not really), I can only imagine what they're thinking when they a member of their party doing something like this.Sokar wrote:Bunch of horse shit...all this would do is cost the Democrats seats during the next election.

It doesn't matter if Bush gets impeached anyway. Pretty everyone lined up for the White House in case the President can't serve is a conservative Republican.

Long overdue payback for the Republicans impeaching Clinton for the crime of being a Democrat.

Re: From the Capitol Hill newspaper: Plans laid for impeachm
Remember how the impeachment of Clinton turned into a farce? This would be a bigger farce. Even presidents doing things somewhat unpopular with a segment of the populace can usually make their detractors look real bad when they're jumped on. The office of the President has a certain aura which demands a standard of sorts for impeachment which is a bit higher than, well, dislike. How exactly could the support be mustered, anyway?Frank_Scenario wrote:Legislation is being drafted to impeach Bush.

It can't; this is just a bunch of stupid, self-righteous idiots who are doing a great service to the Republican party. Dubya is no doubt pleased with this.

Re: From the Capitol Hill newspaper: Plans laid for impeachm
I know it won't happen, and if Bush is impeached, he won't be kicked out of office, and if he is kicked out, Cheney (who is no better in my estimation) will just step in. But a man can dream, can't he?The Duchess of Zeon wrote: Remember how the impeachment of Clinton turned into a farce? This would be a bigger farce.

I don't know and I'd hesitate to condemn him on something like that without a trial. Clinton was a sleazy guy and one debauched, adulterous, perv but I'd hesitate to call him a rapist on any one person's charge with out a trial.Col.

that's true. but there was one thing i always found fishy. It had always been the policy of NOW to force an investigation on behalf of any woman who cried rape. Where were they then? Was their legislative agenda more important than their core values? i guess so.Stormbringer wrote:I don't know and I'd hesitate to condemn him on something like that without a trial.

Part of it was Clinton was a smarmy bastard that managed to lie his way out of a jam time and time again. Since they couldn't win they didn't want to get lumped in with the conservatives.Col.

Part of it was, indeed the fact that Clinton was a liberal. Any conservative that did half of what he did affair and affair-cover up-wise have been raked over the coals until he resigned. But since NOW and other are in bed with the Democrats they chose to shut up.
I find it more than fishy that there wasn't something substantial for an investigation. Any serious charge of rape should damn well be investigated, President or not.
Re: From the Capitol Hill newspaper: Plans laid for impeachm
Don't these fucktards realize that to impeach the President, you have to have evidence that he's broken a law?House Judiciary ranking member John Conyers (D-Mich.) assembled more than two-dozen prominent liberal attorneys and legal scholars on Tuesday to mull over articles of impeachment drafted against President Bush by activists seeking to block military action against Saddam Hussein.
Impeach (def): To accuse a public official of misconduct.
Wow, Bush has been acting pretty lawlessly, huh?

I'd imagine they're going to try and challenge him on the War Powers Act or something along those lines. It'll never work but that isn't likely to deter them.IG-88E wrote:Don't these fucktards realize that to impeach the President, you have to have evidence that he's broken a law?House Judiciary ranking member John Conyers (D-Mich.) assembled more than two-dozen prominent liberal attorneys and legal scholars on Tuesday to mull over articles of impeachment drafted against President Bush by activists seeking to block military action against Saddam Hussein.

If Clinton did half the stuff Bush has done, he would've been impeached a thousand times over. Every bogus story on Clinton was treated as fact by the media. No one got on Newt Gingrich for his madness. No one cared that the bastard left his wife for another woman even when she was on her deathbed.Part of it was, indeed the fact that Clinton was a liberal.

I don't recall the press spying on republican dick.
This ridiculous crap didn't stop with Clinton. The media has had quite the anti-democrat bias. Case in point : Gary Condit. Condit, despite the lack of evidence tying him with Chandra Levy's dissapearance, was considered guilty by the press.
However, this same media never covered the dead intern found in republican congressman Joe Scarborough's office.
And btw, Clinton's policies reflected those of a moderate republican.

Did you know Reagan has been accused of rape?
"Right now we can tell you a report was filed by the family of a 12 year old boy yesterday afternoon alleging Mr. Michael Jackson of criminal activity. A search warrant has been filed and that search is currently taking place. Mr. Jackson has not been charged with any crime. We cannot specifically address the content of the police report as it is confidential information at the present time, however, we can confirm that Mr. Jackson forced the boy to listen to the Howard Stern show and watch the movie Private Parts over and over again."

Oh, come on. Clinton started Desert Fox for No fucking Reason, and then lied and BSed about how long troops would be in Bosnia.
And iirc, NOW pulled the exact same thing when they found out that the girl Mike Tyson raped was conservative. They were screaming their lungs out untill she made some sort of comment about Democrats (I forget what it was), and then they went totally silent. Femnazis almost always have a bigger political agenda.
