Each State weigh in: Will your senator (s) vote to impeach?

[jazzjunkysue]

I'll start: I think NY will: That's 2: Hillary and Chuck Schumer.

Now, who's next. Let's see if we have the 2/3's needed.

[HereSince1628]

1. Feingold has said he'd rather censure and IMO Kohl wouldn't

vote to impeach unless the nation overwhelmingly demanded it.

[LiberalArkie]

2. Arkansas.. Are you kidding, they are Repubs at heart.

[kansasblue]

3. Kansas... no and no

sorry

[greenbriar]

59. no and no for kansas

they have their lips permanently glued to bush's uranis

[onenote]

4. VA: at best a one-one split, probably two against

based on the information available today. Of course, if oversight hearings/investigations were to produce some new 'smoking gun' that galvanized the public and led to a bi-partisan, consensus for impeachment, that might change.

[Bluerthanblue]

5. no way NH- Gregg, Sununu would ever consider it- (imo)

[catnhatnh]

15. Gregg-nope....

Sununu Lite (Err-Jr. ,that is...)....maybe....up for re-election in 2008 from a state that just replaced both incumbent repub house reps with dem challengers???Given some evidence and the need for a body under the bus-well, let's just say that sometimes politics demands hard decisions.....

[zanne]

41. You're right about that.

Want to know how much I despise those guys? I don't like Sununu's face because it looks like his father's. Ugh.

[The Deacon]

6. Yeah, Sure

Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) is going to vote to bite the hand that Swiftboated Max Cleland for him.

[BOSSHOG]

7. Mississippi - trent lott fucking with bush - wow!! Maybe?

[jazzjunkysue]

8. So far: 3 votes to impeach. n/t.

[ThomWV]

9. Byrd and Rockefeller.

[jazzjunkysue]

10. 5 votes.

[sandnsea]

11. OR: 1 yes, 1 no n/t

[ncrainbowgrrl]

12. BWAHAHA. Oh- Sorry- had to laugh for a second- I'm in NC. That would be a big NO!!

Wishful thinking though

[proud patriot]

13. California : 1Boxer will 1 Feinstein maybe

:hi:

[jgraz]

57. No way Fein$tein votes to impeach

She'd have to grow a spine and a set of principles first.

[Rosemary2205]

14. My state elected 2 Bushbots. No help from them.

[durtee librul]

16. I think the 2/3

would come very easy if the case is made properly. I know that several du'ers have posted all the transgressions he has done against the Constitution and again, if the case is made properly and with out vindictiveness.....believe me, it would be more like a 7/8 majority.

People need to understand at their own level just what all the things this admin has done to them without them fully knowing how they have been raped by the chimpster and his minions.

[Bluebear]

17. Depends what the evidence is and what their constituents clamor for.

Plain and simple, if crimes were committed and are PROVEN, the Senators will have little choice.

[uppityperson]

23. True. Given that, WA 1 yes, 1 probably no

[Longhorn]

18. Texas -- need I say it? No. :( nt

[lostnfound]

61. TX will vote to canonize. nt

[mmonk]

19. Not without impeachment hearings first.

[pacalo]

20. Landrieu - yes (when the facts are out & the public is outraged)...

Vitter - possibly (when the facts are out & the public is outraged). This senator as been a strict rubberstamper for his party's president, but could turn our way due to the president's attitude toward Katrina.

This is a state, though, that apparently doesn't keep up with what's going on, because Rep. Jindal won re-election with 88% of the vote. Jindal is another prime Bush rubberstamper. He's also the one who came up with the idea of the purple fingers display at the SOU address.

Will the people in Louisiana tune in to the hearings, is the key.

[Hippo_Tron]

53. My state's lack of anger at President Dumbfuck for Katrina disappoints me

All of the blame is on Blanco and Nagin by the true believers. Look I blame Blanco and Nagin plenty. I didn't vote for Nagin and I doubt that I will vote for Blanco but I hold all parties responsible.

[pacalo]

56. I totally agree with you on that.

I live about 20 minutes outside of New Orleans, so I couldn't vote in the mayoral election. I wouldn't have voted for Nagin, either.

All parties were responsible, yes, but no state can get through a disaster like that on their own. Back when Betsy hit New Orleans in the '60's, President Johnson was there on the ground the very next day, consoling those displaced by the storm & promising federal help. And he promptly delivered, too. I think about the way things were handled back then & how Bush dragged his partisan feet & I get so angry.

Weren't you disgusted that so many could still vote to send a Republican to Washington? I've written many letters to Jindal, pleading with him to do what's fair & right on a variety of issues, & I always got a letter explaining his vote (always with the Republicans) in return.

[T Town Jake]

21. Oklahoma: Inhofe & Coburn. Need I say more?

(n/t)

[Ediacara]

22. Senators don't vote to impeach

That's what the House does. Senators vote to remove an official after impeachment has already happened in the House.

[11 Bravo]

24. Not to get too technical, but the House votes to impeach ..

and if articles of impeachment are passed, then the Senate conducts a trial. Having said that, John Warner - no way; Jim Webb - he would actually listen to the evidence prior to making his decision.

[jazzjunkysue]

25. Of course you're right. The senate does make the judgement, though.

So far, only 10 votes to impeach.

[Ediacara]

27. Again, senators don't impeach

They vote to remove after impeachment in the House. I mean we just saw this play out eight years ago...

[Tatiana]

33. Not to impeach - to remove from office (i.e. convict). n/t

[Individualist]

36. Clinton was impeached by the House. Senate acquittal did not negate that action.

[jazzjunkysue]

46. Yes. Yes. Yes. Got it. I was WRONG! WRONG! I tell you! Kill me now.

There. Does that feel better?

[jmowreader]

26. It depends on the charges

If the House impeached on piddly shit like graft and corruption, no.

Assume the House used the war as its basis for impeachment. This state is FULL of military bases. We have an Army base (Fort Bragg in Fayetteville), some Air Force bases (Pope AFB in Spring Lake--soon to be Pope Army Airfield--and Seymour Johnson AFB in Goldsboro), and a bunch of Marine Corps bases in Onslow County. Also include the NC National Guard units who are spinning up to go back to Iraq right now. If we can prove Bush took us to war under false pretenses, the death of each troop in Iraq could be considered a murder charge. Many North Carolina natives have died in Iraq; many troops who were stationed at North Carolina bases have died; troops who were citizen-soldiers in the North Carolina reserve and national guard units have died. If this is a murder case the Republican senators from NC will vote to convict.

Now...dream of dreams...Jeff Gannon spent the night in the White House on a number of occasions. Bush's wife no longer likes him. She would be more than willing to testify to any times Bush came to bed after midnight on nights Jeff Gannon was in the White House. If the president of the United States was receiving anal sex from a male prostitute, Bush would be out of office on a bipartisan 100-0 vote, and in jail by nightfall.

[niyad]

28. repuke allard: NO, worthless DINO salazar NO

[longship]

29. Forget impeachment for a bit.

It *has* to happen from the bottom-up, not the top-down. The people must be the reason, not Senators or Representatives. The people have to convince them that this is a course which *we* want. We must demand it, or it will not happen.

That's the way it should be. If there's one thing we've learned since 1974, it's that impeachment can only succeed with us and a whole lot more people supporting it.

Investigations can turn the tide.

So, "Let's get on the hump. We've got some flyin' to do."

[Blue_In_AK]

30. No way in hell...

Stevens and Murkowski? I don't think so. Lisa's a little more centrist than Ted, but I just can't see her going this far.

[Tatiana]

31. Illinois (yes)

2 Democratic Senators: Dick Durbin and Barack Obama. Durbin is a no-brainer, Obama is more conservative, but I have no doubt he would be brought around.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

32. WA: Patty Murray, maybe. Maria Cantwell (Dino) no.

Patty generally does the right thing and is quite courageous. Maria looks out for Maria.

[Alexander]

34. This is a bullshit question.

Investigate. THEN impeach, if the charges stick.

Do you know what the phrase "putting the cart before the horse" means?

If every single Bush scandal is brought out into the public forum, I expect even Republicans would vote to convict and remove (the Senate doesn't vote to impeach, BTW).

If done today? Nobody. Nobody at all.

Can we give these investigations some time before frothing at the mouth over impeachment? Nothing would please me more than to have the entire WH cabal, Bush Crime Family and PNACers marched into The Hague in handcuffs.

But we need to investigate before impeachment can even be discussed.

Remember Watergate?

[jgraz]

60. I disagree -- no investigation required

Well, not really. We need the investigations to cement public opinion, but there's no need to look very far to find ironclad evidence for impeachment. After all, Bush has boasted about breaking the FISA law, each infraction of which comes with a 5 year prison term.

We should investigate before proceeding, but it pisses me off that the Dems are pretending that there isn't already more than enough evidence to impeach. This pretense seriously weakens any potential argument for removing Chimpy from office. You can't produce the straw to break the camel's back if said camel is already squashed flat.

[mvd]

35. No

Casey might be our most conservative Democrat in the Senate. And Specter would make up some theory about how we are wrong, even when we present facts - LOL.

[Individualist]

37. The Senate doesn't impeach

www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=2686286&mesg_id=2689370

[jazzjunkysue]

38. 12 votes so far.

[Individualist]

42. 12 votes where? For what?

[Kerrytravelers]

39. CA

Boxer- if the facts warrant it.
Feinstein- bbbwwwwaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!! :rofl: No, her husband might lose his lucrative war money.

[bobbolink]

40. CO -- kidding me? Salazar? He's probably invited to Blight House dinner this week.

That DINO does hardly *anything* to benefit this country. He's out for himself.

The other one is Allard-- a RW idiot.

Nope, count CO out.

[upi402]

43. WA to convict -no

maybe Murray, but Cantwell is a DINO

Anyway, I hate the bush aparachiks more than most but i now think pelosi is playing it very smart. we don't want a replacement to be in the executive for 10 years. (stipulating cheney will resign)

[William Bloode]

44. I have Libby Dole.

So the answer is not no, but fuck no. I wish it was different, but thats the sad truth.

[AndyTiedye]

45. They All Will Vote to Impeach When the EVIDENCE Has Been Presented

even the Republicans.

[porphyrian]

47. Ask this question again in six months.

I guarantee more yes votes.

[tnlefty]

48. First things first: to impeach Rep. Zach Wamp (R), bush** rubberstamp

no. Post impeachment would they convict to remove from office?: Lamar Alexander, bush** rubberstamp - NO, newly elected Bob Corker, bush** pioneer fundraiser, and general ass kisser - NO.

[immoderate]

49. Florida: Martinez, No, and Nelson, probably not.

--IMM

[Jed Dilligan]

50. Depends entirely on the investigations

Even the worst Republicans will vote to impeach if the evidence is damning enough. Otherwise, political suicide.

[madokie]

51. coburn and inhofe worship bush*'s ass

[smoogatz]

52. WI: Feingold hell yes, Kohl maybe. n/t

[AZBlue]

54. Despite the fact that the senate doesn't vote to impeach, AZ Sens will back Bush any way possible

(Kyl & McCain)

[jazzjunkysue]

55. So far: Only 13 votes here. Are all states reporting?

If so, we're not even close, kids.

[boston bean]

58. Senators don't impeach they convict. Representatives impeach. nt
