are these not good enough reasons to impeach Bush ?

Question

I ask Congress to impeach President Bush and Vice President Cheney for the following reasons:
1. Violating the United Nations Charter by launching an illegal "War of Aggression" against Iraq without cause, using fraud to sell the war to Congress and the public, misusing government funds to begin bombing without Congressional authorization, and subjecting our military personnel to unnecessary harm, debilitating injuries, and deaths.

2. Violating U.S. and international law by authorizing the torture of thousands of captives, resulting in dozens of deaths, and keeping prisoners hidden from the International Committee of the Red Cross.

3. Violating the Constitution by arbitrarily detaining Americans, legal residents, and non-Americans, without due process, without charge, and without access to counsel.

4. Violating the Geneva Conventions by targeting civilians, journalists, hospitals, and ambulances, and using illegal weapons, including white phosphorous, depleted uranium, and a new type of napalm.

5. Violating U.S. law and the Constitution through widespread wiretapping of the phone calls and emails of Americans without a warrant.

6. Violating the Constitution by using "signing statements" to defy hundreds of laws passed by Congress.

7. Violating U.S. and state law by obstructing honest elections in 2000, 2002, 2004, and 2006.

8. Violating U.S. law by using paid propaganda and disinformation, selectively and misleadingly leaking classified information, and exposing the identity of a covert CIA operative working on sensitive WMD proliferation for political retribution.

9. Subverting the Constitution and abusing Presidential power by asserting a "Unitary Executive Theory" giving unlimited powers to the President, by obstructing efforts by Congress and the Courts to review and restrict Presidential actions, and by promoting and signing legislation negating the Bill of Rights and the Writ of Habeas Corpus.

10. Gross negligence in failing to assist New Orleans residents after Hurricane Katrina, in ignoring urgent warnings of an Al Qaeda attack prior to Sept. 11, 2001, and in increasing air pollution causing global warming.

if you say yes.........WRITE YOUR CONGRESSMAN! if we demand it and accept nothing less ,it will happen

Answer 1

All you have to do is PROVE it, with FACTS not sound bites, political ads, or forgeign propaganda. Does obstructing "honest" elections mean making it harder for the dead in Chicago to vote or guarranteeing the U.S. military votes WILL be counted? CIA agents (she was a analyst, not a female James Bond) are not allowed to use assets for private or poltical gains, as her husband was doing, "outing" her instead of a reprimand was not right, but better than "silencing". The U.S. Constitution does not guarrantee any rights to non-citizens, especially not ones plotting to attack this country or helping those that are. AND you have to show his actions are different not only from any predecessor in the White House, but democrats will be very careful not to impeach him for anything they might want to do themselves. Lying under oath in his depsotion in the Kathleen Willey/Gennifer Flowers sexual harassment suit about Monica Lewinski, and the dress surfaing to prove he lied under oath and thereby thwarted justice, was a criminal act they could PROVE. It was not to defend the country from terrorism, it was to defend Bubba's poor judgement and being arrogant enough to think he was untouchable by justice. Clinton bypassed Congress all the time with things like the "Kyoto Treaty" which since Bush was elected (YES he won, no matter how many times they recounted and punched chads out for Gore) has been called the "Kyoto Accord" because Clinton tried to enforce it without ratification of Congress, wait and see if democrats pass it, because it gives an unfair advantage to bigger polluters like China and India and gives money to undeveloped countries by allowing them to sell "pollution credits" to polluting ones, it penalized the USA more than anyone else, naturally they all want it. Impeached means put under congressional review. Jim Carville, Al Franken and Bob Shrum are very effective political spinsters, they are not telling "facts" they are trying persuade undecided and reaffirm the left wing and democrats for political purposes, that is their job, what they say is not reality, it will not hold up in court . Compared to things democrat Presidents have done in the past, you would have a hard time presenting your list in court, double standards for dems or reps only works in the media. Havn't you noticed the great concern for exposing Mark Foley or the Valerie Plame matter can wait for years until an election is coming to be disclosed by the press? It is as much propaganda as anything you accuse Bush of spreading. Stick with facts, learn the history of each President, such as Lincoln, who did more to tamper with the balance of powers than anyone else before or since. The Katrina disaster began with a mayor who had been given billions in federal aid to develope a plan and repair floodwalls but had spent it on a lot of talk and studies and shoddy contractor repairs, that was not Bush's fault, maybe help should have got there sooner but New Orleans was not the only place impacted and both mayor and state governor declined help at first and even while critizing federal response later couldn't coordinate where they needed help, shelter, food supplies or law enforcement , local planning is the job of local officials, the feds will send in what they are asked for where it is needed, but they need to be told first. The locals have to ASK the Feds to come in, and have a plan for the response that fits the specific characteristics of their community. That is what your local taxdollar supported politicians are SUPPOSED to be doing in office. The sad thing is New Orleans will be no better prepared if hit again tomorrow. It also proved the folly of sending money, aid and resources to tsunami relief in Indonesia and earthquake relief in Pakistan when we had our own disaster and could have used those supplies and donations right here at home. The Commander in chief can do anything he wants for up to 90 days, including nuke some country off the map, without letting Congress know. Bottom line don't listen to the sound bites, research the FACTS, read the whole thing, it's easy to mouth what someone else says, but people only spread things and start movements for a reason, and that reason usually benefits themselves. This ten minutes of my life might net two points in a useless rating system anyways but I said it because I want you to understand it's not smart to repeat someone else, it's smart to study, observe and think for yourself. Do not say anyone has violated any binding convention, contract or agreement or law, without specific citation, or you are just as guilty of slander/libel if wrong. Emotions must be kept out of legal debate, just the facts matter. Impeachment has political motivations, but it must follow LEGAL findings of FACT.

Answer 2

Excellent question and answers, however, does anyone here want to spend 30 million dollars on an exercise that would make Dick Cheney President, tie up the first decent Congress in 12 years, and further divide the country. If we want to win in 2008, we have to bring people together and show them the right way; there is too much at stake, eight more years of another Bushwacker will destroy America.

Answer 3

President Bush and Vice President Cheney both should be impeached, arrested, put behind bars, and turned over to the inmate population for just treatment. Just don't forget about that other turkey who helped orchestrate the whole deal, Rumsfeld....

Answer 4

I think there are more than enough reasons to impeach Bush, but his cartel is so strong, there will not be enough strength in either the congress or senate to follow through. Its all politics. The Democrats will worry about losing the presidential election if they push for impeachment, and the Republicans will never storm the castle. lost cause. too bad. It would best serve America if it were done. Impeach, Indict, Imprison. i'm all for it.

Answer 5

Now if you only had ONE piece of evidence that ANY of those charges were true.

Answer 6

I hope he faces a court of law on the murders of iraq people and deaths of american gi's.

Answer 7

Yes, throw the bum in jail!

Answer 8

IF YOU CHECK HIS CLOSET , I'M SURE THERE IS AT LEAST ONE MORE REASON
GOD BLESS

Answer 9

i would say so.
