Why take anything off the table?
I just got mad reading this article about Conyers. Why take anything off the table like Pelosi and Dean are saying also,unless a deal has been made by somebody in the democratic leadership, God forbid. Why even bring it up now? When asked about it, they should say 'no comment'.

2. Because while we're impeaching we won't be able to do
anything else. If Bush can be marginalized (and maybe he is now, we'll see) then we may not need to impeach him.

6. I hope your right
The American people voted for change and that includes looking into the things that they want to change, like the war and why we were lied to. "Clinton lied and nobody died",yet he had to answer to some 1600 subpoenas while in office. But "Bush lied and almost 3000 American soldiers and 150,000 Iraqis have died", has 0 subpoenas in 6 years.

4. Lets be careful here.
Our country faces many problems today, and we need to think of our priority's over a process.

What were the problems our country faced when they tied up congress over the Clinton Impeachment?

7. riiiiiiiight. maybe I should explain the difference to you, LLD:
Clinton: impeached for political reasons for something NOT A CRIME.

Bush: has lied to congress, fabricated evidence knowingly to coerce a pointless war, abandoned hundreds of american citizens to die in New Orleans, because he couldn't be bothered to cancel a fundraiser, KNOWINGLY outed a covert CIA agent and has bribed journalists, targeted journalists, and frozen out journalists from finding the truth.

There's tons more, but just what I've now stated are high crimes and misdeamors and have led to the needless deaths of 3000 servicemen and women, ten times that wounded or maimed, and perhaps as high as 650,00 innocent Iraqi civilians killed for no reason.


now, go back and when you get some better thoughts about equivalency, get back to me, sparky.

10. Tons and tons and tons. No kidding sherlock
And what about AMERICA's Problems? Do we just brush those aside for an impeachment? A process that will have it's day in court.

It's about tying up congress. Tying up congress to accomplish nothing more than impeachment.

Next time read what I wrote before you go off on me.

12. Careful about what? Making republicans mad at us?
Geeee, I'm really glad you're so worried about our country's problems as long as Bush's accountability doesn't happen to be one of them.
