Aren't these grounds to impeach Bush?

Question

A Suggestion

George Bush has started an ill-timed and disastrous war under false pretenses by lying to the American people and to the Congress; he has run a budget surplus into a severe deficit; he has consistently and unconscionably favored the wealthy and corporations over the rights and needs of the population; he has destroyed trust and confidence in, and good will toward, the United States around the globe; he has ignored global warming, to the world's detriment; he has wantonly broken our treaty obligations; he has condoned torture of prisoners; he has attempted to create a theocracy in the United States; he has appointed incompetent cronies to positions of vital national importance.

Now, would someone please give him a bj so we can impeach him?

Answer 1

The war is impeachable.
Breaking the treaties is impeachable.
Condoning torture is impeachable.

The rest of your reasons aren't impeachable offenses, but they do make him a pretty bad president.

Answer 2

Wow. in accordance to Don C, we ought to continuously drag him out bare and lynch him instantaneous. To heck with an impeachment. IMHO, there is not a lot there to justify impeachment. he's made frustrating calls, not all of that were impressive. it really is SOP for administration besides the indisputable fact that. not everyone will agree or perhaps understand motive for his judgements. besides, universal human beings don't have adequate info to make an counseled selection. e.g. Going into Iraq develop into the impressive element to do strategically. that is not regular, besides the indisputable fact that that is the right selection from a lengthy-time period attitude. we are at conflict now- not with someone us of a- yet with an ideology. it really is a tricky time certainly. it would want to help if there have been a lot less partisan bitching and extra understanding of the precedence.

Answer 3

An officeholder can be impeached for any reason, including malfeasance & incompetence. >Breaking of a law is not required.<

Witness the impeachment of Andrew Johnson, a vice-president who succeeded Lincoln after the assassination - impeached largely because he was not tough enough on the rebel south.

From Wikipedia:
As president he took charge of Presidential Reconstruction — the first phase of Reconstruction — which lasted until the Radical Republicans gained control of Congress in the 1866 elections. His conciliatory policies towards the South, his hurry to reincorporate the former Confederates back into the union, and his vetoes of civil rights bills embroiled him in a bitter dispute with the Radical Republicans. The Radicals in the House of Representatives impeached him in 1868, and he was acquitted by a single vote in the Senate.

Answer 4

--"George Bush has started an ill-timed and disastrous war under false pretenses by lying to the American people and to the Congress..."

"One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line."
--President Bill Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998

"If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program."
--President Bill Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998

--"...he has run a budget surplus into a severe deficit;"

um, 9/11?

--"he has consistently and unconscionably favored the wealthy and corporations over the rights and needs of the population"

Liberal propaganda. No specifics mentioned.

--"he has destroyed trust and confidence in, and good will toward, the United States around the globe"

They obviously LOVED us before...

--"he has ignored global warming"

I wonder if he ignored the "global cooling" of the '70's, too?

--"he has condoned torture of prisoners"

He should've beheaded them with a rusty knife and videotaped it?

--"he has attempted to create a theocracy in the United States"

More inane liberal propaganda. Example(s)?

--"he has appointed incompetent cronies to positions of vital national importance."

As opposed to Pelosi appointing William Jefferson to his position.

Thanks for the laugh. I truly enjoyed the blatant hypocrisy and libtard propaganda.

Answer 5

Lets consider impeachable offenses that have occured over the last 25 years.

Iran / Contra no impeachment

Lying about sex impeachment

Lying about Iraq WMDs no impeachment


Perhaps Congress is equally as guilty of NOT doing its job.

Answer 6

Bad results aren't illegal. We've had bad wars before, and we'll have them again.

Unfortunately, until it can be proven that he has actually committed a crime (and lying isn't a crime; lying UNDER OATH is and he refuses to testify about anything), there will be and can be no impeachment.

Answer 7

When a dictator is not impeached democracy is called tyranny?

Answer 8

Becoming president without ever having left the borders of the USA is impeachable IMO.

I wonder if W can name the states that border Texas...hmm...

Answer 9

Even if someone gave him a bj you'd still have to wait until he lied about it to a Grand Jury the way that Hackjob Clinton did before you could impeach him. How can you live here for so long and know so little about our laws?

Answer 10

AMAZING! The Dow Jones is over 13,000 and setting record highs, earnings are up, profits are up, mergers are up, acquisitions are up, taxes are down, tax revenue is up, interest rates are down, homeownership is at record highs, consumer spending is up, savings and investments are up, the economy is growing at it’s fastest rate in over 20 years, AND ALL DURING A TIME OF WAR. Yet LIBERALS insist that all of this is somehow BAD! Go figure!
