5. There's a bit of a sticky-wicket with impeachment.
Although no one would argue that BushCo is most deservedly impeachment-worthy, the problem is that the Democrats signed on by giving Junior a blank check with the Iraq War Resolution that enabled him to expand powers, powers that he expanded even further with signing statements and the like.

Democrats have their fingerprints all over this war and as a consequence all that has come afterwards. They obviously aren't interested in highlighting that complicity in this election cycle.

Funding is an arguably much different issue, but does not rise to the original egregious error of ceding power to the Bush Administration that the IWR inflicted on this country. I would oppose anyone that voted yes on that and, in this case, Hillary, vehemently. Obama opposed the "dumb" war from the start and will end it.
