2. I've always liked the idea of demanding multiple forced resignations |
|
but I was at a tender and impressionable age during Watergate so I'm probably biased.

10. I was old enough during Watergate |
|
the current crop of Dems in the House right now are a pale shadow of those who had the courage to investigate Nixon.

15. July 2007 American Research Group Poll |
|
Edited on Sat Dec-22-07 04:39 PM by OzarkDem
54% approved of impeachment of Cheney (scroll down) http://americanresearchgroup.com/impeach/the same poll had Bush impeachment at a tossup, more likely its in favor of impeachment by now. A more recent poll by ARG 61% say Cheney should be impeached and 53% say Bush should be. http://endinjusticenow.blogspot.com/2007/12/november-13-2007-impeachment-poll.htmlhttp://americanresearchgroup.com/impeach/

3. And why do you assume that it's possible to recall a congressional official? |
|
From what I understand, it's not.

8. Impeach or be replaced |
|
I'm keeping a list of those who are not doing their job and will actively campaign to replace them next time they're up for re-election.
I'm also refusing to give to DCCC or DSCC until our members in Congress stop using the money to fund races for DLC candidates. Lots of others are, too.

12. First off, Representative can't be recalled |
|
Second, the reason that impeachment isn't coming up is political strategy, no of these Representatives is going to look like a fool by backing something that won't result in conviction. That is the reality of the situation and I don't think we should give the Republicans a chance to acquit Bush right before the election.
