That's pretty big...after that whole Clinton mess, Americans are actually seriously considering impeaching Bush, and clearly WANT to impeach Cheney...wow

Do you think that if things in Iraq don't change and the GOP comes close to veto-proof bills but Bush still stubbornly hangs on...it'll move to only 40% opposing Bush being impeached?

What could you charge any of them with?

They won't release documents and such by claiming executive priviledge. Then nobody has the balls to force them to hand it over even when they ignore court orders to do so. It won't go anywhere unless congress gets some sack

Obstruction of Justice is an pretty subjective charge...it's a start, once the hearings are underway, more charges can follow

I hope they get it done. I think those in this administration should be investigated throughly. I think if they were and the actual truth came out they could be in jail for a very, very, long time.

in Harvard square last night a bunch of kids were trying to get people to sign "impeach cheney" petitions. one girl tried to stop me as i walked by saying "do you want to get the dick out of the office?".....

sorry chicky, but i'm not so foolhearty to think that a few thousand signed petitions are going to do shit, even if i did want "the dick out of the office"....

now move aside and let me get to my beer.

DosEquis · 07-17-2007, 11:24 AM

So does that mean you want to 'get dick' in the office?

So you don't like dick or you do like dick? Dick is kind of thick headed you know. So keep that in mind when handling this dick.

dick cheney should be impeached with being a f*cking stupid incompetant war-mongering dick

rumsfeld should be impeached for his appallingly p*ss poor performance at the abu grahb hearing which damaged the US enormously

dick cheney should be be impeached because it would help US credibilty.

Bush should be impeached for being an irrelevancy & letting dick have his way but let off coz he is now being 'honest', ..., but this mightnt do US cred any good

That's pretty big...after that whole Clinton mess, Americans are actually seriously considering impeaching Bush, and clearly WANT to impeach Cheney...wow

answer a poll isnt exactly the same as considering & wanting IMO.

lol

It doesn't matter what the public thinks. Until the democrats grow some balls and start working harder at obtaining the documents they need, there's no basis for impeachment. Disliking someone's policies is not grounds for impeachment.
