If lying about a blowjob is an impeachable offense,

please tell me why bu$h should be allowed to skate. Using short sentences composed of small words, convince me that the Boy King's behavior does not rise to this very low standard. Thank you.

2. I Can Not Do What You Ask

No one in their right mind can say that George W. Bush does not deserve to be impeached and removed from office.

Currently the bar for impeachement is set at groin level, it needs to be raised.

4. Lying about a blowjob isn't an impeachable offense...

That was the reason our party picked up seats in '98. The Republicans overreached.

5. The only point that the courts made was that Clinton lied under oath.

After all was said and done this was the crime. It wasn't the offense one should be appaled at. Now what has transpired since this is a president lying every single day to people and a president who will not testify under oath... look at the 9/11 commision (met behind closed doors to do what?) It was a set up to use Clinton's moment of embarassment in order to justify so much neo-con crap now.

6. We cannot just focus on punishment of a sock puppet.

We need to go after the criminals running the show, stealing the money, killing the Innocent men, women and children for more money.

The Democrats will be controlling Congress come January 6 there will be plenty of time and plenty of evidence to put george II on trial in the world Court for his part in the almost continuous war crimes of this administration.

bu$h does not have a rubber stamp congress anymore. He has been neutered.

Simple enough?

7. how can you compare?

I mean, a blow job is way way worse than the death of nearly 3,000 American soldiers in Iraq. Anybody who has "suffered" through a blowjob knows it is far worse than lying us into a little war that has killed 650,000 Iraqis and cost us $500 billion or so... I mean, you can tell the children about a war that is halfway around the world, but what will we tell them about a blowjob? See what I mean.

8. I've been thinking about this one.

Clinton was impeached for lying to a grand jury about the affair. My theory is that he was wrongfully impeached because because the grand jury did not have the right to hear anything about the Monica Lewinsky case. The affair had no relevance to anything Ken Starr was hired to investigate.

If I'm wrong about this, please help clarify:

Under rules of testimony, a prosecutor cannot ask questions of irrelevance to any witness or suspect. The answers, whether they are true or false, would be inadmissable as a result. All questions must have a reasonable connection to the case in question.

The Monica Lewinsky affair had no relevance to Whitewater because Lewinsky was not involved with that incident. She also had nothing to do with the Paula Jones case and did not even know Jones at the time Clinton allegedly harrassed her. Therefore, any questions involving Monica Lewinsky were irrelevant and therefore inadmissable in any criminal case against Clinton. In a criminal trial, a good lawyer would have placed an objection, the objection would have been sustained and the question would have been stricken from the record, even if Clinton had answered the question.

Am I wrong about something here?

9. I'm with you.

I have viewed the last 6 years of the Bush junta as sort of an American analogy to what it may have been like in Germany in the early 1930's as the Nazi's were coming to power. This is a time to stand up and be counted --- and I think the recent election somewhat reflected that undercurrent. The electorate sensed and sent a message that things were spinning too far out of control. When I hear Pelosi and others in the Democratic leadership categorically state that, "Impeachment is off the table" (even well before the election!) I have to wonder WHAT exactly would it take to even consider the impeachment of Bush? Clinton got his thang sucked. Bush has raped the Constitution and our Bill of Rights and done everything in his power to destroy the checks and balances envisioned by our Founding Fathers. He and his Party have manipulated and stolen elections. He has engaged in an undeclared, illegal, "preemptive" war causing the deaths of thousands of our brave troops and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis (including innocent children.) He has been caught in lie after lie. He has callously used fear to manipulate the masses and Congress. Cronyism, hardball and corruption at the highest levels, reaching right into the White House (Halliburton, Abramoff, Delay, Gannon, etc.) are rampant in this regime. Bush is openly committed to stacking both the Supreme Court and unbalancing the Federal Judiciary with extremist candidates. Our Treasury is bankrupted and we are in debt so incalculably high it blows the mind to try and even comprehend the numbers. We are now hated around the world and known as a nation of torturers. We have "signing statements", "patriot" acts, warrantless domestic spying and no more habeus corpus. Again, WHAT does this administration have to do to merit a charge of impeachment?
