1. 87% of 322,728 responses say yes

Do you believe President Bush's actions justify impeachment? * 322728 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.
7.1%

I don't know.
1.8%
Not a scientific survey. Click to learn more. Results may not total 100% due to rounding.

22. Wow, NOT one mention Rumsfeld is going to be prosecuted by the German Court..

additionally, Gonzo, Bushes attorney, and Tenet.

Who gives a flying **** about polls when 3 of Bush's
key personal are going on Trial and going down in Flames!

Alberto Gonzales..has disgraced his people.

As the first Mexican American to hold such high office.

[mshasta]

2. wow ..so lets do it

[Coexist]

3. see - WE don't have to say it - just present the facts

and the public will DEMAND it.

Heh, heh, heh.

[gfnrob]

[Cooley Hurd]

6. I'd like to see impeachment, but

some one should do a real poll. On line polls are worthless, we, of all people should know that!

[IndyOp]

9. Self-delete. I replied to the wrong post. Sorry. (n/t)

:hi:

[Cooley Hurd]

10. With almost 325,000 respondents, it's not a bad indicator...

...but, I agree - a real poll would be nice to truly gauge the mood of the populace.

[gfnrob]

13. Some would say we DOers skewed the poll to make

a statement, and the freepers skewed it to bait us. I, personally would take that bait!!
But, yes , I would like to see a good poll.

[Cooley Hurd]

16. Regardless, it only matters in the US House of Reps...

...and they have some work to do before drafting up articles of impeachment (like making the case for impeachment, which should be pretty easy;)). Mark my words, impeachment AND conviction WILL happen, because the new congress will have no choice BUT to impeach - it's the rule of law, and they are constitutionally bound to do so.:thumbsup:

[gfnrob]

17. I would not be saddened, at all

:hippie: :party:

[gfnrob]

24. Check out this poll

[DoYouEverWonder]

19. We did

It was the election last Tuesday.

Get over it.

[shadowlight]

23. Do a google search.

There have been a few polls.
They are around 50% for impeachment (or against, i suppose).
And the investigations have not even begun.

[EnviroBat]

7. WOW! Looks pretty clear to me...

[barb162]

8. Um, online polls aren't scientific unfortunately

[IndyOp]

11. We do know that - or at least I do...

They are still fun! And, they have an effect on the public's perception -- if someone who is just stopping by MSNBC sees that poll they will think that *everyone* wants him impeached, so there must be a good reason. Human beings are herd animals -- we lazily change our attitudes to fit what we think everyone else believes. So, if it sways a few minds, then good.

:hi:

[barb162]

12. but you know if he's impeached, Cheney gets in.

:hi: back

[IndyOp]

14. We get rid of Cheney first or simultaneously... Actually, what I am thinking

now is that Cheney may step down for health reasons sometime in the next few months so that Bush can appoint a no-name "moderate" Republican to the position. Why? If Bush is impeached, Cheney will go with him and Pelosi will become President. To keep that from happening, Cheney could step down and a Republican innocent of wrong-doing could be appointed VP so that that person would ascend to the Presidency instead of Pelosi.

What do you think?

:shrug:

[barb162]

18. Amendment 25

Section 2. Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.

That would be dangerous, I think. That no name moderate GOP person very likely could be the next prez if he is moderate.

[Old and In the Way]

21. Could be dangerous for Democrats not to.

I understand that these polls aren't scientific, but, assuming this isn't freeped, that's a lot of people weighing in. Very few online polls get these kinds of lopsided results. I do agree that a national poll with proper sampling methodologies should be undertaken to see what the real mood is on this question. I'd state the question twofold:

(1) Do you support investigations of the current administration?

(2) If the results of the investigations indicate crimes were committed, would you support impeachment?


I'll risk Cheney stepping down and a caretaker Republican being installed...if these investigations show that impeachable crimes have been committed, I sincerely doubt the American people will reward this Party/Syndicate for their criminal actions.

[barb162]

26. good analysis

What's bothersome is if Bush put in a likeable youngish type (can't think of anyone off the top of my head) and then he became very popular. What if he put in Arnie S? Look at that way that jerk has won CA twice. I don't get it that anyone would vote for him but they sure did in CA

[Old and In the Way]

27. I think the Arnie has to be a dark horse for 2008.

Hey, it worked once for the Republicans....but they'll lose some of the Religious Right, I think. Honestly, who can run for the nomination and not cleaver the Republican base in 2008? They got no rising stars...they all just got beat this cycle. :rofl:

[NancyG]

15. 87% still yes nt

[rinsd]

20. Wow an online poll that been flogged by every single left blog/community

It does remind me of the time FreeRepublic freeped a poll during the impeachment and I do undertsand the argument that sometimes perception becomes reality even if said perception is false but knowing the reality makes me disregard this poll.

[progressoid]

25. Would be nice to see a real poll and not a meaningless online poll.
