So far impeachment is a verboten word among Democrats in Congress, where House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and the party leadership have made it clear that anyone who steps out of line and submits a bill of impeachment will be punished. The leadership has even gone so far as to attempt--with considerable success--to crush grassroots efforts to introduce impeachment resolutions in state legislatures (such pressure on key Democrats killed such a measure in New Mexico, and derailed another in the state of Washington, and is being used now to attempt to block a third effort in Vermont).
Pelosi's unconscionable strong-arm tactics to keep impeachment "off the table" in the 110th Congress have even cowed House Judiciary Committee Chair John Conyers (D-MI), who in the 109th Congress had been leading calls for an investigation into impeachable crimes by the administration, and had submitted bills calling for formation of a special committee to investigate such crimes. Since Pelosi began her campaign to protect the president from impeachment, Conyers has been silent on the issue, though his discomfort has been obvious.

It's vast Left Wing conspiracy. The Left is conspiring against itself. So, how smart are they? Smart enough to know regardless of how inept Bush has been on some issues, nothing he has done or not done is impeachable. If the Dems did try, it would come out that THEY SUPPORTED AND VOTED FOR THE WAR. Oh my. THEY SAW THE INTELLIGENCE BEFOREHAND. Now what?
Get real. It's better to argue issues with the truth.

Pelosi knows there are no grounds for impeachment. Although I don't care for the woman, she is finally taking a step in the right direction. If there were grounds she would be all over it. You can't impeach based on the fact that you disagree with something.
Give me the thumbs down to prove I am right. Bring 'em on !!!

While campaigning, democrats NEVER promised to push for the impeachment of our president. And, would you care to explain how she is obstructing justice?
