"Why wasn't the IMPEACHMENT OF BUSH carried out..."

My answer:

Because the Demicratic party politicians are too cautious, and that is because they fear there will not be adequate public support to give them cover, and that is because there are too few people advocating impeachment, and that is because we have those among us telling us we should not advocate for it - or anything else that represents a strong stand against the right wingers - because it is supposedly not practical.

This is not merely true in this case, but is a description of how things work in a representative democracy, and also illustrates the biggest challenge for us on all issues - the relentless pressure to be moderate and practical, to not get "too radical," to remnain silent, from the conservatives among us.
