Bush has violated the Constitution that he swore to up hold and that I fought for and many of my friends died for. He has tapped with warrant phones of American citizens. He has detained without probable cause those who are legally with in our borders. He lied to the country about the threat Iraq was. We wanted to impeach Nixon for far less.

Because he has not been guilty of an impeachable offence.

Because everyone is so far up Bush's you know what, that they cant get out to do it. Honestly, i hate the guy. Kerry & Edwards should have been in there instead of him, im just glad that the end of his second term is ending, and that a democrat will most likely be in office, i can not wait for that day. We need another Clinton. Honestly, the best president ive known to do good, is Clinton, Now i dont want obama, but i would like, edwards or hilary! I think we need a lady in office, see how it works out.
And for whoever posted these facts :
** In 2006, there are more people employed in the United States than ever before. Blame Bush.
A: Because they are mostly illegal immigrants.
** Since Sept. 11, there have been no attacks by al-Qaida on U.S. soil. Blame Bush.
A: Septermber 11th still could have been set up by none other then George W. Bush.
** In 2006, more than 4,000 al-Qaida soldiers died because of U.S. military efforts. Blame Bush.
A: The only reason they are dying and we are over there is for oil.
***Have people not realized that Osama Bin Laden (if not George W. Bush) was responsible for 9/11. Yet, he is still free. Now, Saddam told us he did not have weapons of mass distruction, yet Bush still went to try and find some, yet was unsuccessful, yet went ahead and attacked anyways. He is fighting the war that his father couldnt win nor finish. He is fighting for oil to get more money in his bank account.
***Have you stopped and realized that Gas prices have been to an ALL TIME HIGH! Ridiculous gas prices, gas prices were beautiful when clinton was in office.
Just my 2 cents!

Because there arent enough Republicans to go along with it. While you only need a majority in the House to impeach, you need 2/3 of the Senate to convict or affirm the impeachment.
There is going to be an election next year and he will be out soon enough. We do not need to be wasting time on something this divisive this late in the game. Thats what Republicans do.
Also Nixon would of been impeached for trying to cover up Watergate. He never would of been impeached for the actual burglary. You would have a hard time arguing that George Bush is guilty of covering up any crimes. Everyone knows he's incompetent and unfit for office.

Ok, say we impeach him.
Let's also throw out of office everyone in both parties that voted for, or supported the war based on bad intelligence information that by their own admission they didn't read but were briefed on by either top level Aides from the Bush (Republicans) or Clinton (Democrats) White House.
Fact is this war has happened. What is needed now is not irrational, emotional rhetoric like "Impeach Bush", but a sensible solution that gets our soldiers out of harms way, and does not strengthen the terrorists...
Also, while we're at it, why don't we try being one country where good solutions win, not political parties that don't ever entirely represent what anyone thinks....

The tapping of phones was done by Clinton as well, just not publicized, and in the time of war, the president has the authority to help protect american citizens. What would have happened if he didn't use this to his advantage and your family was killed in a terrorist attack that could have been prevented? Its not like they were listening in for stock tips to make a killing on the stock market.
The detained terrorists are being held because they fought against the USA. When the war is over those prisoners will be released. During Vietnam, we held prisoners then as well, that was ok.
The invasion of Iraq was voted and approved by the democrats as well based on the exact same information the CIA gave Bush. You want to overhaul the CIA, then fine, but Democrats and Republicans alike voted for moving into Iraq based on bad information.

Believe me, alot of people are trying to Impeach him. But the Congress seems to be afraid of Nancy Pelosi who still continues to say Impeachment is "Off The Table". It takes more and more people these days to put pressure on the government. Write letters, send e-mails, sign petitions to Representatives and Senators. It doesn't matter if the Representative isn't even yours and says he or she cannot respond to you because your not a fellow constituent. You send them a letter, if they read it, the idea of "Should I or Shouldn't I vote for the Impeachment Issue", will be on their minds. I've written to so many Senators recently and e-mailed just as many. Many organizations are out there. If we could get more of the media to report on this, more people would realize it is becoming a big issue, but the media often will not. Although we ask and ask them to. Press your State Government officials(State Senators and State Representatives). Send them letters too to get them to pass resolutions that will in turn be turned over to Nancy Pelosi. Eventually she will have to listen if she wants to remain in office. That is the reason the Democrats won both in the House and the Senate last year, is to listen to us more and get us the hell out of this mess. I could go on all day, but there is alot we could do to spread the word and put the pressure on our government.

Two reasons:
1) Cheney would be the next President.
2) Bush remaining in office will only help elect a Democrat President in 2008 and maintain a Democrat majority in Congress.
Leave the moron alone.

Has he? Or is that just a media lie to pushed by a big money group to gain political power? Did he really lie about Iraq? The allegedly bipartisan but democratically controlled committee that investigated that didn't come up with any lies. There were mistakes and misjudgments, but no lies. Were people really detained without probable cause, or were they detained because there was probable cause? The watch lists didn't spring out of nowhere. The warrantless wiretaps were, actually, perfectly legal. Talk to some of your buddies who worked with the NSA types. You'll find out that they were, and are, perfectly legal. Sorry, but the moveon.org crowd has been scammed, horribly.

If you were in the military you should know that phone tapping, detaining without probable cause, and fighting wars without end are things that must be done. America is the world police, to keep us safe immoral things must be done. I thought you were in the military?

Because he is not guilty of any impeachable offense no matter what you say, do you think the Dems in office would not bring them up if they had them so see you are not a lawyer.

Prove he lied. You can't because he didn't lie. Iraq was a threat. They had plenty of WMDs that they could have sent to America by way of a hired assassin. It didn't take much to throw the country into a fit with that anthrax.
WMDs were found in Iraq but most of them were sent to Syria as Saddam's general told us.
