I just want to get an idea of what people think. I find it appalling that Clinton gets impeached for getting a b** j** but our current president seems to be bulletproof, despite numerous instances of impeachable offenses: illegal wiretapping? lying about Iraq's connection to 9-11? sending troops to die in a war that has het to be legitimized? I could go on, but you get the point.

I do understand that Clinton was impeached for lying under oath, and while I don't condone it, they never proved anything with Whitewater. I guess I just have a problem with paying millions for Starr to dig up something (anything!) on Clinton, when all of the insidious behavior of the current administration is overlooked. The attorney general even said that the reason that the admin. didn't go to congress to change the law on warrants for wiretapping was b/c they didn't think congress would change it. Since when are we allowed to break laws just because we don't think the law will change! I feel that this administration is just dangerous and is a frightening example of power gone wrong.

Bush refuses to be sworn in under oath and answer any questions. When he was questioned by the 9/11 committee he asked to be questioned with Dick Cheney at the same time and would not swear in under oath.
At least Clinton had the balls to lie under oath.
Bush just wants to skirt around the truth and do whatever his daddy and his buddies who run the global economy tell him to do.
Any Democrat doing the same things Bush is doing would have been shown the door long ago.

First off Clinton lied under oath during a Grand Jury Investigation...big difference. Second Iraq had violated the cease fire agreements from the first gulf war so many times that we could have gone in anytime. Get over the fact that your guy lost in 2000 and 2004. And you want to get into a arguement about illegal wiretapping then why is it so bad that the president wants to protect the people by listening to those who are trying to commit terrorism, but the Recording Industry can track what songs you download off the internet and sue you for $$$$. You need to prioritize your life.

While it is true that Clinton lied under oath I'm Bushes press conference today I have never seen or heard anyone that has the skills that he has to dance around the issues.He has lied on so many things and yes he sould be impeached.He can't deal with everything he has on his plate.We do need someone that can.
Even the high gas prices we have are his fault,he is not trying to fix it.That money is used to pay for his screw up in Iraq.I do agree with you.Not just because I don't like him but because he is a piss poor president

yes, there are dozens of good viable reasons to impeach, including sealing records, 750 different laws that bush says don't apply to him that do which he has broken by denying that they apply to him, wiretapping, fraud, rigged elections, was compliocit in 911, the list goes on an on.
Nobody has ever done as many impeachable offenses in the history of the country, Bush is as evil and as corrupt as all other presidents combined

Congratulations. You are the one millionth person to ask that question.
And no I don't. Look at it this way; a couple of years and you'll have Hilary in the White House. Then we'll all be in big trouble and Bush won't seem so bad then.

even the court and executives are following him, that's probably why he is not impeached. You should form a political party like the Nazis and start to overthrow the government by popularity...

No way. You must be mixed up. Clinton is the one who was impeached.

You, like them, would actually need to prove the facts first and IF they actually violated law.
Just because you don't like someone doesn't support impeachment.

Yes! But only because he made my cereal soggy this morning and made my shoelace come untied when I was running this morning. It is little evil deeds such as these that are worth complaining about.
