Impeachment for Bush & Cheney?

Question

Yes or No? State your reasons

Answer 1

Nope.

Did nothing wrong.

Answer 2

No.
(1) I am not sure what the Impeachable offence would be to start with and
(2) There is so little time left in their last term in office it would be over before the Impeachment process is finished, so why waste the time?

The usual answer to #1 is the WMD claim in Iraq. EVERYBODY thought there was WMD in Iraq, not just Bush. The question was whether it was worth going after it, or let the inspections continue in cat and mouse fashion.

Answer 3

Aw get over it already. I voted for Bush, I'm sorry I did, but why put forth the effort to impeach him, when we are approaching an election year & he will be out of office anyway? Will impeachment save more American lives in Iraq? Not likely. Our troops will not come home until our government brings them home. Last time I checked, Congress still affects foreign policy by the decisions of its members. Whether or not Bush was in office (or Cheney), would not necessarily guarantee a speedier homecoming for our troops.

Answer 4

I think a pretty strong case can be made, considering just a sampling of what he's done over the past 6 years:

*His administration knowingly misled the UN, Congress, media and public about the threat posed by Saddam Hussein.

*He grossly mismanaged the war, leading to the deaths of hundreds of thousands, civil war with no foreseeable end, and a sharp increase in Islamic terrorism in the West.

*He violated existing FISA laws by personally authorizing warrantless wiretapping.


And then there's the torture thing, elimination of due process laws, asserting authority to open our mail without oversight, etc etc. I don't know if these things reach the alarming level of High Crimes and Misdemeanors that justified Clinton's impeachment (lying under oath about cheating on Hillary), but they are at least worthy of consideration.

Answer 5

No. You can't impeach based on speculation, no matter what all the liberal propaganda web sites might say. You need solid evidence. And if you think there is good, hard, solid evidence that he committed a crime, why hasn't he been impeached by now?

You also cannot impeach based on your dislike for the person.

Answer 6

Yes. The president has and is ignoring the will of the people as expressed in the elections last November. That is treason. He should be impeached, removed from office and put on trial.

Answer 7

No, because they have not committed any crimes. People love to suggest abuse of the impeachment process simply because they don't like the President. Fact is, you can't impeach a President if he hasn't done anything illegal. And believe you me, if the Dems thought they could prove Bush had broken the law, they'd be after him.

P.S. I don't like Bush or his policies. But let's not bastardize the system, okay?

Answer 8

No!!!!! Bush and Cheney are figihting to advance freedom throughout the world. Libs seem to think Radical Islam will give them a pass for being anti war-----but, Radical Islamics hate liberal values too, so they wouldn't be exempt.

Answer 9

even thought i hate bush ill choose him over cheney cause who wants a president who shoots people 4 no reason.

Answer 10

NO! They have not committed any impeachable offense. And forget about what Moore or Colbert or Jon Stewart or whatever media outlet you get your propaganda from.

Answer 11

Yes,
