I no longer favor impeachment.
I want that son of a bitch to spend the next two years SUFFERING.

Put his lying ass under oath, investigate until he breaks down completely.

Screw impeachment cause nothing will happen to him. Let him suffer for what he's done and let the people control his suffering.


Nuff said.

1. Agreed.
If he's like this in the next two years, he might bring down the entire Repub party by himself...

2. Personally, I want the foreign effort to bring him to trial for War Crimes to succeed.
But that's just me.

3. If you believe in our Constitution, there is no question we must impeach.
That doesn't mean we need to do it before we have comprehensive evidence and a consensus in Congress.

5. Bullshit. His legacy needs to reflect his presidency. Only impeachment can come close to that.

7. After he is out, try him for war crimes.
Convict & hang, along with cheney, rumsfeld, rice, & wolfowitz.

8. What makes you think impeachment won't make him suffer?
If he gets away with all the crimes of his presidency, then the next "little boots" that comes along will think he can get away with it.

There has to be a message sent from the people to the President that our Constitution is not to be messed with.

13. There's A Prudential Reason To Oppose Impeachment
There are forty or so Blue Dog , read moderate, Democrats who would never vote for impeachment. It would create forty or so more Liebermans. It's not worth dividing the party over...

16. That's a good reason among
many reasons not to do it.
2008 is just around the corner.

22. Our Party Is Much More Diverse Than The GOPU
Especially after last night... Most of the moderate Republicans went down to defeat...In the Senate there's two moderate Republicans left- Collins and Snowe...

I don't think there's more than ten or so in the House...

I just want to restore reasonable center-left governance...

17. Justice should be the ISSUE, not suffering...

I could care less how much he suffers, but unless a really strong light is shined on this mess then most will never realize what it is all about, and the underlying corruption could live on. We may only be aware of the tip of the iceburg, can you live with that?

18. NO way
Edited on Wed Nov-08-06 01:50 PM by SouthernBelle82
Impeaching him is the way to go not only because it's the right thing to do but because it's their worst nightmare. These are people who hate to be seen as losers and also in the history books (remember Bush saying history will judge him?). This will be in the history books and my kids and grandkids will learn about this and what a loser he is. Plus nothing makes me smile more than the thought of him and his gang in the Hague.

23. What part of "these are major criminals" that you don't get?
They are criminals that need to be brought to justice. No other option should be acceptable.

20. See, isn't it more pragmatic to play with your broken winged lame duck?
Edited on Wed Nov-08-06 01:51 PM by Mr_Spock
I'm thinking we need to slowly but surely bleed this duck for all it's worth.

vengance & making Bush a martyr are not in our interest at this time...

21. I'd agree, except the petulant man-child...
...does have his finger on the nuclear button. If he thinks his little world is collapsing, he may decide to return the favor.

27. Get Cheney first...
with 18% approval, he's a freebie that everyone would love to see impeached. That would make Bush sweat. Also go after Rumsfailed, Hadley, Rove, etc.
