| Because there really is nothing to impeach President Bush on. The USA Patriot Act? It was bi-partisan supported so democrats can't impeach him on something like that without getting themselv es into trouble. The Iraq war? It was supported by the United Nations and by Congress afterwards. Again, another situation where if they impeach President Bush they couldn't do so without getting themselves into trouble because they supported the Iraq war. If they didn't support it he would've been forced to bring the troops home early. BAsically, in a lot of the situation to impeach President Bush on was supported by the Democrats as well, so anything they impeach him on would make them look like hypocrites and this is all nothing more than to get revenge for the impeachment of Former President Clinton. A tit-for tat kind of thing. Very childish in nature. | ||||

| The similarity is Republicans don't like Democrats so they'd do anything to get Clinton out of the office, and now the Democrats are doing the same thing just to get the Republicans back. | ||||
