Do you believe President Bush's actions justify impeachment?   * 317257 responses

Yes, between the secret spying, the deceptions leading to war and more, there is plenty to justify putting him on trial.
87%

No, like any president, he has made a few missteps, but nothing approaching "high crimes and misdemeanors."
4.4%

No, the man has done absolutely nothing wrong. Impeachment would just be a political lynching.
7.2%

I don't know.

1. That's not good for the Shrub.

That's even before any serious investigations have gotten underway, and despite the Corporate Media's attempts to prop him up.

The Dems may say "no impeachment" now, but I wonder how that'll shake out in the next six months or so.

6. Once some evidence comes out showing Bush violated his oath of office...

...any Democrat on this "no impeachment" bandwagon might want to rethink his/her strategy.

[chefgirl]

7. Its a nice thought...

And 87% of the people polled can say whatever they want, but there's still the small matter of a legal case which would need to be brought.

I would love to see it happen, but just because we want it, doesnt mean it's going to. Thats why we have laws. Full and complete investigations first, THEN we can talk impeachment.

The very last thing I want to see the Dems do is become seduced by power the way the Republicans were in the 90's.

18. Exactly. The law, like science is not about what the majority

think.

[lcordero2]

2. BUT

It's not going to happen

We don't have the 2/3rds of the Senate to make it possible.

We are better served having investigation after investigation.

[cui bono]

20. The House impeaches, the Senate indicts. So yes, it can happen. n/t

3. We all know how these online "polls" work...

... aren't worth the paper they're written on.

[buff2]

16. Really?

Seems to me they were dead on about the DEMOCRATIC TAKEOVER SWEEP that just happened! :rofl:

[GOTV]

24. What do you mean?

What online polls were you talking about?

But to answer your question, Yes. really.

Unless you're new, you've seen the messages "DU this poll it's being freeped". The opposite messages appear on free republic. We both swarm the poll and guarantee the results have no connection to reality.

The polls are only for bragging rights: "We swarmed this poll bigger than you guys".

Only the naive base decisions on online polls.

Is that you?

8. WSJ chart from a few months back:

[Doctor_J]

10. Why is Clinton's a "lie", and Smirk's "didn't tell the truth"?

Nice push-poll.

[Doctor_J]

9. Wow. It looks to me like:

The oppressed majority (non-Limbeciles) now realize they're not alone in the country.

[earth mom]

11. 87% on MSNBC! This-with the media barely reporting the truth!

:wow:

So for the naysayers around here-what do you think the public would really want to do if they knew the real truth about everything? Can you say Impeachment?!

[Jcrowley]

12. Again

the people are out in front. Forget the focus groups, politcal advisers and centrists who repudiate the will of the people.

[Zodiak]

15. Don't worry, most of us do forget them

6 years of being told to do the wrong thing "for the good of the party" gets kind of old.

They haven't yet figured out that the American people aren't listening to them any more.

Hearings, coerce him into signing our bills, and then arrest his ass after he leaves office. We might not have time for impeachment to proceed fully, but we can put together a hell of a case to turn over to authorities when little Georgie becomes former President Bush.

Meanwhile we get what we want because we can threaten him with accountability for his crimes with the hearings.

[Xenotime]

13. With these numbers, where is the arguement?

[jberryhill]

23. The number that matters is 67

Because that's how many Senators you would need.

17. I'd like to see this in a scientific survey

I doubt it would be 87%, but sometinig in the low 60s would be a big shock.

[GOTV]

25. Exactly. It's foolish to believe an online survey...

... we f*ck with the online polls at every opportunity.

[Jack Rabbit]

27. We aren't even as good at it as the Freepers are

They really have it down to a science.

The Jack Rabbit rules of online polling:

1. Any online poll that can be freeped, will be freeped;
2. Any online poll, once freeped and unfreeped, can be re-freeped;
3. Any hack politician who cites an online poll to support his position should be pilloried.

[Swamp Rat]

19. YES!

22. As much as I like the answer, any poll with one yes and two nos

is stacked.

[AntiFascist]

29. Um, the 2 NOs only add up to under 12% n/t

[YOY]

30. Yeah, but I've seen similar ones with our side having 2 possible opinions

usually the 2 possible on our side add up to more than the one on the opposite.

I just don't like the structure.

If you have 2 'Nos' you should have 2 'Yeses'.

Only fair really.

[Rainscents]

26. Done!
