Dick Cheney already is the president, for all practical purposes. We need to impeach both of them, then send them to The Hague for trial on war crimes.
I'll list a couple crimes they're probably guilty of:
Authorizing illegal wiretaps (this one is on the record)
Targeting civilians in combat (Fallujah & elsewhere)
Abusing prisoners (photographic evidence)
Note that according to international law, the top leaders are on the hook for the crimes of their troops, unless they can show that the troops weren't under their command at all. (This is how Slobodan Milosevic was tried.) Part of their job is to keep the troops from committing war crimes, and if they fail, they're guilty and criminally liable.

Bush will not be impeached, and has no reason to be impeached. The only real difference between Bush and Cheney is that Cheney is richer and more articulate. The drive for impeachement originated after the 9/11 attacks by a front for the Worker's World Party, who are Stalinists. Therefore the current crusade for impeachment is nothing but a communist plot.

Bush is a big fool, but if he is impeached Cheney will become the next president and you can bet America will go down the drain.

Cheney is Bush's insurance policy. He won't be impeached until Cheney resigns and moderates hope that George wears his helmet when he goes out to play on his mountain bike.
(How could Karl Rove have possibly known about Cheney's real value to the ticket?)

Good question, and one I often like to ask impeachment advocates. But you might want to specify "impeached AND removed."
I suppose some would say it would be no different, since Cheney is alleged to run the show anyway. Personally, I think we would be a little better off. I don't think Cheney would be as concerned with increasing domestic spending, but in most other respects he'd be about the same as Bush.

Bush and Cheney should both Be impeached If Bush were to be impeached Cheney would Be no better. maybe even worse(as if that's possible) But with Cheney's history of heart problems it would be highly unlikely he would survive out the remainder of his term.

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for Bush's impeachment, if I were you. Because it will never happen. Even if the Dems somehow manage to regain congressional power in November, which is doubtful.
Because, when you get down to the actual facts (as opposed to the anti-Bush 'facts', aka 'falsehood'), Bush did NOT lie about anything in pressing for war against Iraq, nor did he manipulate any data, nor did he do anything illegal in any fashion.
You can rant and scream all you want to the contrary, but if you cannot provide a single shred of proof, then all you're doing is blowing hot air.

NO. The only reason I wouldn't want GWB impeached, is because "Dick" Cheney would become president. He is the biggest lying crook in Washington D.C. !

I doubt it, Bush probably get's a lot of what he says from Cheney, but we need not worry about them for too long, get our act straight and choose a good candidate, I'm checking out the Independents right now.

This whole impeachment thing is a big wet dream of the left. Bottom line the United States is better off with a Republican in office.
And after all the antics, propagands, lies, and conspiracys, Republican John McCain and Rudolf Juliani still have better pole numbers than Hillary, Kerry, and Dean...
Go back to sleep pillow biter!
