The democrats would be stupid to impeach president bush. Right not, i believe democrats are good leaders, but up until nov 06, they couldnt win elections. It would be awfully difficult to prove bush misled us into this war. By taking impeachment off the table, the democrats show that they can be leaders, no matter who else is in the white house.
The dangers of impeaching bush are these:
If we impeached bush, and the united states had another massive terrorist attack, the democrats wouldnt stand a chance in 08. The right would be screaming from rooftops that democrats were so dedicated to playing partisian politics, they refused to work on anything that would protect this country.
If we impeach bush, and things in iraq get worse, once again, the right would be screaming about democrats being more interested in partisian politics then finding a solution to the situation in iraq.
As long as bush is in power, the democrats have a scapegoat.
If the democrats start passing alot of legislation, and president bush vetos it, this will only help the democrats take the presidentcy in 08.
No matter how much you hate bush, keeping him in power, is more important then impeaching him.

Impeachment's on alot of people's minds. The damage Bush could do in two more years gives me nightmares. The Democrats said that his spending spree is over in Iraq now that they are in power. Clinton was a great President, with a weakness for women. Doesn't mean the good that he did for our country doesn't count.

Liberals stop repeating lies constantly repeating something does not make it true.
Clinton was impeached for Obstruction of Justice in conspiring with other people to falsify their testimony in the Paula Jones case, not for getting a BJ from Monica Lewinsky get your facts straight that's why I am a ex liberal.
In a war people die if we use your logic every president would have been impeached.

The President may not use his power to coerce sexual favors from those who work for him. If the President's actions had been coercive (which I do not think they were), then he would have been guilty of a felony.
The President does have the power to make war under the War Powers Act and the authorization to conduct war in Iraq given to him by Congress ( including votes by Clinton and Kerry). You may disagree with his decision. But it is legal.

nobody is ever satisfied with any president.
The b!tching and moaning will never end, it;s like beating a dead horse. Just change the name every 4 or 8 years.
Nobody is ever happy.
Clinton had the chance to go after Bin Laden in 93 and chose not to do so. GEE , where'd ya think we'd be today if he had.
Not at war, I can tell you that!
Clinton received head on a regular basis from his 20 yr old intern in the oval office.
The flat out LIED about it. ( I did NOT have sexual relations with that girl) !! His exact words !
Then when backed up against a wall, finally admitted the truth.
Please! Gimme a break!
Politics is a bad subject to talk about unless you want to get into an argument.
If that's the case then please proceed..... I'm going to bed.

Hate to burst your bubble - Clinton did not get impeached for a 'sexual act'. JFK did lots of them while in office too.
He got impeached for perjury and obstruction of justice.
Btw, this is not a political comment - its a statement of fact.

I don't think Clinton was impeached because of the s*x so much as for being caught in an out and out lie...
