How on earth is George W. Bush still president after all of the terrible things he's done? Plus he's an idot, to boot.

Because my vote was thrown in a dumpster and my neighbor's vote for Bush was counted twice.

So why is Bush President is very simple, because the majority of the people in this country voted for him in 2004. Like it or not he is President.
Now let me answer the rest of your question. Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution states:
The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.
Interestingly, George Mason had favored impeachment for "maladministration," ie, incompetence, but James Madison, who favored impeachment only for criminal behavior, carried the issue (Source Wikipedia). So lets look at your "terrible things" a war, well many presidents have been in wars. Constraint on civil rights...hmm Lincoln was not impeached. I don't see it. Sorry no valid case for impeachment. And if you want to count lying to the American people that's not impeachable. Have a great night sorry to burst your bubble and I was a Kerry Supporter.

Before you start picking on Bush, back up to when "Slick" Willie was president. What did he do to protect our country? Absolutely nothing. I agree that President Bush has made mistakes, no different then any other president who has ever been in office, primarily because of the people he thought were the best for doing jobs they shouldn't have had in the first place. You say he's an idiot. I've got news for you. If he were an idiot he damn sure wouldn't be in that office today I guarantee you. If you want to blame anyone, blame the jerks in Congress who are so self serving it's rediculous.

LOL!!! I chose ABB(anybody but Bush). I chose Kerry. Even though he isn't the best, he's better that our president. I hate our president. He does to many things wrong than a president should ever. Here's a joke I found somewhere:
There is a clock when you get to heaven that counts the amount of lies you've told.
When Washington went, it clicked once.
When Lincoln went, it clicked twice.
When Bush went, well let's just say it's still spinning centuries later!
Funny huh! I am right there with ya! Let's defeat Bush!

Because Haliburton and The Carlyle Group demand it.

Would need to impeach him for a crime. Of course this administration HAS committed crimes but good luck getting a Republican legislature to impeach him. No way.
