Should Bush be impeached?

Question

Vote here and vote at MSNBC:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10562904/

So far, 87% say yes!

Yes, I did serve our Country. I did 6 years and was in the first Gulf War. I respect the position of the President, but do not respect the man himself. He has done nothing to earn my respect!

I did not start this post to pit the Republicans against the Democrats. Just getting a feel of how people are thinking.

We were ready to impeach Clinton for such ridicoulas reasons as Monica??

Please, Bush has committed crimes against the American people not his wife. He is a liar and a cheat. I can't wait till he is gone. I'm not sure who will do better, but politics these days is a dirty business and we "The People" have to change that and make our Representatives responible for their actions!

Clinton was not impeached - wake up!!

Answer 1

I have never met PRESIDENT Bush, so I can't say whether I like him or not. I'm not intellectually challenged or DEFICIENT and actually, I'm not even a Republican.However, I don't think many people could have led our country better the last six years, except maybe me, lol. J/K. I do wish we could raise FDR from the dead though, he would have been awesome right about now! And, oh yeah, he was a Democrat, not that it matters...
So here's why I approve of PRESIDENT Bush as President:
He hasn't defended himself on Hurricane Katrina. Everyone .wants to blame him, but really, Louisiana is NOT the only state that was heavily damaged by the hurricane. What about Mississippi? Oh, that's right, their STATE government took care of them...and they asked for federal aid immediately. In New Orleans, it was announced by the mayor, the senator, and the governor that they did not need federal aid the day after the hurricane. Yet after all hell broke loose, the National Guard was sent in...and quickly.
The wire-tapping was a great idea. Too bad the media got ahold of it. Why was it a great idea? Because it allowed the government to listen in on calls placed from known Al Qaida operatives to the US. They were NOT listening in on Joe Schmoe telling his best friend how much p***y he got the other night, or Jane Doe telling her sister how much pot she smoked. So, nice job media, ruining that one.
The so-called "leak", which was in fact the disclosure of DECLASSIFIED information. The CIA agent that was "outed" hadn't been a covert agent for over five years. Yet President Bush isn't defending himself on that either.
He's been accused of "lying" about the WMD's, and yet hasn't defended himself. I really wish people would get over that one, because no matter how many times they're told that the Democrats "lied", and the soldiers over there (and who were there in the last three years) that have found evidence that there HAD been WMD's also "lied"...they won't listen.
I could say much more on how he's NOT a bad president, but I'm not going to waste my time. If some of these people REALLY wanted to know, they would watch FahrenHYPE 9/11 (which disproves much of Michael Moore's lovely
"documentary"), stop watching Loose Change, and maybe take a look at truthorfiction.com, snopes.com, popularmechanics.com (and search for the story about debunking the 9/11 conspiracy myths), or www.strategypage.com (and search for the story on the War in Iraq).
Here's what I like about President Bush:
He's true to his word, especially away from the cameras. I've heard many stories about how he shows his respect for our Armed Forces members, has taken the time to pray with someone just because they asked him, given hugs and comfort to those who have lost loved ones in 9/11 and the War...
Overall, he shows his integrity in private. That's what matters most to me. I couldn't care less about how well he speaks (or doesn't, as we all know is true), because that's his public face.
I like the fact that he illegalized partial-birth abortion within his first few months in office, yet has left abortion alone other than that, even though he feels it's wrong.
I love the fact that he doesn't listen to the war protesters, and instead listens to the soldiers on the ground. Most of them say we CAN'T pull out...and we'd better not. Also, many of them have said that even though they were injured, they would go again and again. I saw that on, if I remember correctly, CBS news, which, as most conservatives know, leans to the left. I've also talked to many soldiers myself, and most of them have told me the same thing.
Most people that have met him say he's not the "bumbling idiot" many think he is. He's actually very poised, respectful, and most of all, he demands respect without saying a word. I've known people that met the President, one of which didn't like him at all until they met him, and voted for him in 2004 based on their impressions.
This is a man that despite the opposition, has offered very little criticism. Sure, he said to the UN, "If you're not with us, you're against us." He was right at the time, and now...they're with us. Even the UN has admitted that we're doing a fine job in Iraq, and that the country's come along infinitely quicker than they initially thought. More countries are volunteering to help us, too.
I would put more reasons, but I figure it's a waste of time. I'm not going to convince anyone that I'm right, and anyone that already has an opinion isn't open to anything else.
I'll just put it this way: I've heard all the reasons that people hate President Bush, and not one of them is valid. Not one of them holds any weight, or contains logic. And believe me when I say that I WANT to hear a real reason to hate the guy, just so I don't have to face the fact that most of my friends are wrong So overall i say No.

Answer 2

This question has been posted several times over the last couple of days. The answer is the same NO!
There have been no provable offenses which would fall under the articles of impeachment.
At some point people have to accept that Mr. Bush is the President, and he will remain the president barring death or assisnation until the end of his term. Even if the Democrats win back the Senate this year they will not take up the challenge of impeachment because there are no grounds for it, and their credibility is already being questioned by mainstream voters due to pandering to the extreme left wing of the Democratic party.

As for this poll all I can say is get real.

1) Not a scientific poll. You can votes as many time as you like. I am sure that there are some people who have nothing better to do than vote Yes over and over to pump the numbers, and display their hatred for The President.

2) When last I looked this poll had just over 294 thousand responses, hardly a majority of the population of the United States.

3) Never put your faith in polls. The result are too easy to manipulate.

Answer 3

Clinton was impeached for perjury, not Monica, and he was disbarred. Most Americans would have done jail time for that. Nixon was run out of office for less. There are no valid reason to impeach Bush. Bad judgment is not grounds for impeachment. If you feel he mislead the public on some issues like the war, then you'd have to also impeach FDR where there were also questions about how we got into the war. If you feel he should be impeached, you should spell out the high crimes he committed. Besides, if the Bush Bashers get their way and impeach Bush, then we are left with Cheney.

Answer 4

No, he should not.

Why?

1. By the time the Congress finished debating impeachment, he'd already be out of Office.

2. With a Republican Congress and little outcry, the chances are quite low that such a measure would pass.

3. Congress would be so busy debating impeachment that the country would literally come to a standstill - no other bills would be passed, so the Congress would take no action on any other matters.

4. It would take attention away from the wars, homeland security, and other important matters.

Answer 5

I don't agree with Bush about the spying on Americans with out a warrant. In the case of espionage, he has 3 days after the fact to get the warrent, so he can't use speed as an issue. As for the claim that he is only spying on terrorists, start by assumming he's telling the truth. But now that it's an accepted precedent, what will the next president do? Will this spying later be turned over to someone without the morals of only spying on terrorists? This is why we have laws, to keep everything consistant and hopefully fair. It is especially important during times of war.

Answer 6

Why does this question keep getting asked? Impeachment is a technique of criminal prosecution. President Bush has no longer commited a criminal offense -- subsequently there could be no impeachment. I comprehend which you're against the conflict. maximum likey you have been poisoined by using the media. in actuality that our president has taken us to a conflict that became already being waged against us in the previous we arrived on the conflict floor. we can not enable radical Islam attack us on our very own soil returned. that's a conflict we are waging to guard our very way of life

Answer 7

No ! I didn't vote for him ,but he holds the office and I respect that.Clinton was the last president that was close to impeachment.Next time vote for the person,not the party or just split you vote. By the way ,have you served your country in the armed forces?You would have learned respect for the office there.

Answer 8

i dont agree with most of what bush is doing but i dont think he should be impeached.everyone makes mistakes.and he should look at what he can do to make up for all the bad choices he has made .God forgives and so should you.but just vote for a person next election that will make this world a better place and put good thoughts and not fear into the mind of its citizens.this whole world was here for us to enjoy and not to destoy.people just take things for granted

Answer 9

He hasnt done anything worth impeachment.

Answer 10
