Why is it that even with his disapproval rating and an unjustified war, President Bush is still in office?

Question

Democratic, Republican, or Independent aside. Our last president was shamefully put through the impeachment process after the discovery that he was upholding the long standing political tradition of our presidents, having an extramarital affair, even though the country, economy, and international opinion were were at high water marks. In the mean time, we now have a president who has started and prolonged an unjustifed war, watched our economy nose-dive, watched our unemployment skyrocket, broken the laws of the Constitution and Bill of Rights, unlawfully imprisoned people, advocated torture, and has one of the most corrupt and self-serving cabinets and vice presidents ever. Why has there been no impeachment proceedings? It is clearly what the majority of Americans want. Have we lost some much control of our government that we ourselves are now on our way to becoming one of the facist dictatorships we so stridently stand against?

Answer 1

As Americans we are all... Guilty of Treason!! For supporting...or...for not contesting the high crimes of the Bush Administration. In my opinion, President Bush should be immediately incarcerated and held without a reason for the rest of his life inside one of his own "Terrorist Prisons." No trial....No parole. Give this man a taste of his own medicine.

Don't get me wrong...Bush did "and is doing" what he thinks is necessary to keep America's economy stable. Indeed, it is working.....for now....but for how long? My point? I feel he could have achieved the same...if not better results by doing it the right way. Or a different way than the way he is choosing to do it. This man's flagrant disregard for our soldier's lives and the preservation of our environment is embarrassingly evident.

President Bush will have to live with his mistakes for the rest of his life. How can he presume any respect from his own wife, Laura and the people who make up his administration?

There must be more to this picture than meets the eye and I can only include this man in my prayers hoping he does something "Honorable" for the world before he leaves office.

Very good question....thank you brother...God Bless.

That's where I stopped reading...You Idiot.

Answer 3

Actually he (Clinton) was impeached for perjury. He broke a law he paid the price. I don't know where you are but here in Ohio the economy is doing quite well. Unemployment numbers are where they were during the Clinton Administration. What US citizens have been unlawfully imprisoned? About torture we are not doing it, but even if you don't do it you have to make your enemies think you are willing to. Oh yes having a woman question you is not torture. Having to touch pork is not torture. Those are the type of things that we have been doing. As far as wiretaps go those are constitutional BUT THEY CANNOT BE USED IN COURT!

Answer 4

Hopefully no one out there believes that Iraq had anything to do with 9/11. The invasion of Iraq was in the planning stages before 9/11. That horrible event allowed the administration to attempt to justify a unilateral preemptive unjustifiable invasion. Regardless of your feelings you have to support our troops, they are some of the finest young people in America.

Answer 5

He is upholding and defending through illegal wars and Amerikkkan terrorism, white supremacy and white manifest destiny! And as bad a presidency that he has represented; white folks in masse are not going to vote to impeach him as you can very well see! He was selected in for a second term on straight up white supremacy! He would kill(as we/you witnessed through the last election)anything anytime to protect as he said the "have-mores"! He is still in office and for no other good reason accept white supremacy! He is not smart or saavy, charismatic or intelligent nor classy nor really compassionate nor does he have too much good in him! He has set this country back of any progress that has been made! Not to mention his affair with Condi...............

Answer 6

Because we have elected terms not terms like other countries who are in power only when they have a majority.

Long standing tradition? Only JFk before him had an affair and before that FDR. BEfore that you have to go back to the 1800s and most of those didnt occur in the whitehouse.

Most corrupt gov't? Stinking Clinton sold stuff to the Communist Chinese. And got campaign contributions from them. He should have been impeached for that.

Answer 7

The war was and is justified. He is definitely the best Man for the task @ hand. If a democrat gets back in office, the islamic jihadist will eventually take over AMERICA. Our problems with N. Korea started back when democrat Trueman was President.
The islamic jihadist @ Gitmo have no U.S. rights.
The polls that you are looking @ come from the left wing media!
People like you just don't GET IT!

Answer 8

The only answer is, he is a dictator.

Saddam Hussein stayed in for twenty-six years, mostly thanks to Reagan and Georgie's Daddy Warbucks, and their cabinet, who was, oddly enough, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, James Baker III, and advisors Paul Wolfowitz and Martin Scowcroft.

Fidel Castro's been in for forty-five years.

It only takes a handful of spin-doktors and nincompoops to make a dictator with a one-percent approval rating look like the New Messiah, complex notwithstanding.

I'll bet that handful of Bush Butt-Plugs all have terminal cases of metacarpal syndrome by now. I can't believe they're not sick of hearing themselves yet at this very late date. Personally, I'd have beaten myself to death with a claw-hammer at least two years ago...

Answer 9

Wait for Congress to change hands. It is controlled by Republicans and they barely provide checks on his attempts at expanding seemingly limitless Presidential power - if he wasn't marginalizing THEM - I doubt they would even have done that.

Answer 10

Simply put, there is a process in place to remove a president, and that process has not been started.
