Do you think Bush and Cheney need to be Impeached?

Question

... or should they be allowed to serve out their term?

If you don't think they need to be impeached, explain why you think they should be allowed to stay.

Answer 1

many crimes, national and international and they should be impeached. They should have been a long time ago.

Answer 2

Apparently lying about cheating on your wife is the only impeachable offense. (I wonder how many people would be out of jobs if everyone besides Republican Senators thought it was that important).
But, technically neither Bush nor Cheney committed any crimes (that can be proven). They've always had someone else do their dirty work for them and the Republican congress has been busy bleaching out the blood stains for the past 6 years. It took two years to investigate a CIA leak. Before a case could even be put together, his term will have been over.
It's like football. Imagine being in the lead with 10 minutes left in the 4th quarter. Although it's tempting to try to run up the score board for bragging rights, it's best to help the clock run out as fast as possible without allowing the other team to cause any damage. It makes for a boring end to the game, but it's the best chance for victory. We should concentrate on 2008 and just pray Bush and Co. don't break anything else.

Answer 3

Do you think of a new question now and then.
Here is why I do not think so.
1. No impeachable crimes. Lying and manipulating is not a crime.
2. Congress cannot agree on anything. They would have to indict.
3. Senate would have to try. It would be tied up there for years.
4. He will be out and only a footnote in history in 1.5 years.
5. He is no better or worse then 5 other presidents I have lived under. He is only under the media microscope more. He is not near as bad as Kennedy when it comes to lying to the population. I remember him well
He has not lost 1/10 the number of soldiers that LBJ did.
He has not openly committed crimes like Nixon.
He has not pardoned a national disgrace like Ford did.
So by the time you came up with something, which YOU cannot do, he will be out and immune. Anyway, what or who would you replace him with?

Answer 4

Because Dick Cheney authorized the leaking of the name of CIA operative Valerie Plame, and that being treason, he should've been tried/convicted for that. Instead, Libby was cast as the sacrificial lamb, and now he'll pay for his old Boss' crimes (until Bush pardons him towards the end of his term).

Nancy Pelosi didn't go to the Middle East illegally. The White house was aware of her plans to go to Syria/Israel weeks beforehand and gave the go-ahead. It wasn't until she was overseas that they were "surprised" and declared engaging with Syria illegal, even though some like Arlen Specter (R-PA) have been to Syria no less than twelve times.

The manipulation of evidence by the White House (doubtlessly approved by the President) in the run-up to the Iraq war to sensationalize the threat of Saddam Hussein's Iraq and put lives at risk, and some three thousand (3000) dead, along with wasted resources like money and military equipment, all to secure war-profits and oil plundering is doubtlessly illegal, and yes, impeachable.

Answer 5

Yes, most definitely. For leading us into an illegal unjust war, on a premise based on lies! A war which has cost hundreds of thousands of lives and over 3,000 of our troops.

They should be impeached and brought to trial for crimes against humanity and defrauding the tax payer by increasing the defence budget to $532.8Billion while child poverty is on the increase and education standards are declining, yet those two Con Men are lauging all the way to their offshore accounts. Cheney to the tune of $1Billion from his Haliburton shares.

Answer 6

Impeached for what? It's not like they lied under oath about commiting adultry in the oval office. Although.... to be nice about it and give Billy Boy there the benifit of the doubt.... maybe he really doesn't know what sex is. Do you believe he ever slept in the same bed as Hillary? The chances of that happening are less than the chances that Billy acually did not "inhale".

For Eric and Cloud... PLEASE GET EDUCATED!!!! Did you know that most of your little liberal Senetors and Congressmen were on the same page about Iraq until they realized the Lib media didn't like it? It's also called Saddam ignoring 17 UN resolutions. You probably still think we went to war over WMD's. DUH!! But hey, Saddam is... oops, was a great guy huh! Boy, everyone in Iraq loved him. Not as much as the Libs... but enough right? I thought Libs were about helping the downtrodden and oppressed? I guess only when convinient to them. Also, was Rwanda legal? or did we go to war just to take the heat of Billy's sex problems. Typical Clinton... once he got what we wanted he abondoned those people just like the Libs want to abandon the Iraqi's. Isn't Rwanda better off now? Finally, THERE WAS NO LEAK OF A UNDERCOVER CIA OPERATIVE. She was not covert.

Answer 7

Take your meds and shut up. If there was grounds for impeachment, they would both be gone and Nancy would be gallivanting around the middle east LEGALLY. Obviously, I do NOT believe they should be impeached and I have told you the reason. ALLOWED to stay? Who is doing the allowing? It is a sure thing. THEY ARE STAYING.

Answer 8

Yes, they should be impeached. They brought us to war for no reason and there will be another dictator in Iraq 10 years from now...and I'm sure a future president conservative christian genius will have us go to war with them again for no reason. We should have finished Al Qaeda.

Answer 9

Yes, because we need to get out of the war in Iraq. But I'd have him finish because his term is almost up and also he has been decent and has helped and tried to do what was best for us. But he made a big mistake about the war. Now what we need to do is get out of the war immediately.

Answer 10

Yes, they should be impeached, for repeatedly lying
to the American congress about the situation in
Iraq (high crime and misdemeanor).
