Why do some always talk about impeaching Bush? Do they want to waste more taxpayers money?

Question

Let's face it he is going to serve the rest of his term. Isn't it better to wait it out than to waste taxpayers money trying to accomplish something that isn't possible? Do people who say such things even understand the Process? I myself think they are just ignorant.

These people want Bush to be impeached to get him out of office. Not because he has broken any law etc. No matter what he will serve out the rest of his term. That is why they are ignorant.

Answer 1

The republicans had no problem wasting money on attempting to impeach Bill Clinton for receiving oral sex from Monica Lewinsky. Why would it be dumb for the Democrats to do the same against BUSH?

Answer 2

Since you are so smart to form an opinion and and understand the process so well, then you should know a few things about the Constitution and Bill of Rights. I'm sure you have a basic idea that the president of the USA can be impeached for High Crimes and Misdemeanors.

So, how did you overlook Bush's breathtaking scorn for our international treaty obligations under the United Nations Charter and the Geneva Conventions? Or the growing evidence that the President deliberately misled the country into the war in Iraq? What about the most recent revelations that President Bush directed the wiretapping of hundreds, possibly thousands, of Americans, in violation of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA)--and argued that, as Commander in Chief, he had the right in the interests of national security to override our country's laws?

As a matter of constitutional law, these and other misdeeds constitute grounds for the impeachment of President Bush. A President, any President, who maintains that he is above the law--and repeatedly violates the law--thereby commits high crimes and misdemeanors, the constitutional standard for impeachment and removal from office. A high crime or misdemeanor is an archaic term that means a serious abuse of power, whether or not it is also a crime, that endangers our constitutional system of government.

The framers of our Constitution feared executive power run amok and provided the remedy of impeachment to protect against it. While impeachment is a last resort, and must never be lightly undertaken (a principle ignored during the proceedings against President Bill Clinton), neither can Congress shirk its responsibility to use that tool to safeguard our democracy. No President can be permitted to commit high crimes and misdemeanors with impunity.

You need to rethink and research, buddy, how you left out those important facts.

Answer 3

Of course that is all they know what to do with our money, look at the amount we spent for Clinton.
It could be a get even event for the impeachment of Clinton.
But the louder they are in this anti Bush campaign, the more the Dems think they will slide into the offices in 2008.
Having started the anti Bush thing, so long ago, the whole negative thing might backfire on them. How long can you keep the mantra going when the economy and stock market keep going up?
And the Dems issue of killing the tax cuts is going to backfire on them.

Answer 4

I'm afraid that if Bush serves out the rest of his term he will find a way to pass amnesty (and I just heard that he's at it again for the 3rd time in a row trying to get it passed) and we will be over taken with foreign invaders and the criminals who we already have here will be given a pardon for breaking our laws.
And I'm afraid he will turn America into a 3rd world country.
I'm also afraid that he will hand all of our truck driving jobs over to the Mexicans in Mexico as he is trying to make it legal for them to cross our borders and take American jobs.
So not only will we have the ones who already live here illegally taking our jobs away from us but he also wants to give the ones who don't live here our jobs.

I don't think you know how bad things can get if he is allowed to remain in office doing whatever the hell he pleases.
And that seems to be exactly what he's doing,whatever he pleases.
I think George Bush would be much happier representing the citizens of Mexico and looking out for their best interest than he is for us.
So if he is impeached I hope he moves to Mexico and helps the people who he really has a genuine affection for.
But as for him remaining our President for another year and a half I think is far too long and will give him too much time to destroy us as a Nation.
And I think that's exactly what he wants to do.

And this is coming from a Conservative point of view.

Answer 5

People who want Bush and Cheney out are not ignorant, they just want to see our country saved from two very bad politicians. And as far as the money goes, if we got them out we would end up getting out of a wasteful war that would save a lot of money and a lot of lives, so as far as I'm concerned it's sort of a toss up as to the money. I could say you were ignorant because you just want to see things stay the way they are for the next 1 1/2 years instead of trying to do something to save lives and get out of a war where we don't belong. Along with that I would like to see things like stem cell testing pass and not be vetoed by a president. I would like to see some attention paid to this country instead of the only thing that makes the news is the war. I'm tired of living in a country that is laughed at by the rest of the world. I'd like to go back to being a country that is considered a super power instead of a stupid power.

Answer 6

the only reason Ted Steven's bridge to nowhere drew all that notoriety became exposure. The media have been given ahold of the tale and the country grew to grow to be outraged. they could be somewhat sluggish on the uptake, however the very incontrovertible fact that ABC has picked it up shows that it will quickly grow to be such as the Alaska bridge. I have little question that there are various comparable boondoggles available. however the first public has no thank you to appreciate approximately them without the media. And it has no longer something to do with partisanship, as much as you may go with to have faith that. somebody became happy appropriate to the airport as long because it became a secret exterior of the community section, in basic terms as they have been appropriate to the bridge. in basic terms whilst outsiders locate out approximately beef does the outrage start up.

Answer 7

you are 100% correct. the people who say that are "ignorant", and too impatient. they need to realize that if they feel they have been suffering, it's been that way for at least a few years! so why keep whining about impeaching someone without a provable crime having happened, when you only have to put up with him for a matter of months.

Answer 8

No, it's because schools don't teach basic civics anymore. They want to use impeachment like a two year old throwing a temper tantrum. News Flash people: the govt. is not a chalkboard - and impeachment is not a magic eraser. People got this notion in their heads when Clinton was impeached because the Dems kept saying that they were only impeaching him because they 'didn't like him'. Forgetting conveniently that he broke the law. You can't impeach a president because he sucks, or Carter would have been thrown out of the White House so hard he would have ended up building houses in Cairo.

Answer 9

It would be far better for the nation - and the world - if Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and all 535 members of the Republican-led U.S. Congress [that sat by and watched as Bush violated our Constitution and our laws] were tried in an international tribunal for high crimes against humanity, and - if convicted - were sentenced to hang, just as they arranged for Saddam Hussein to hang simply because the Bush family had a personal vendetta against the Iraqi dictator from the days of Desert Storm.
Surely Satan has reserved a special oil-soaked, blood-stained corner of Hell for all 538 of these evil cretins who allowed an unconstitutional, illegal, unjustifiable, immoral 'war' against another sovereign nation that in no way threatened, provoked or attacked the United States.

Answer 10

They just hate him so much, and they want so much to see him suffer personal embarrassment that they are willing to embarrass our country before the world AGAIN. It was bad enough when it happened with Clinton, but to have it happen to 2 presidents in a row would be ridiculous.

Not to mention the fact that President Bush has not committed any impeachable offenses, or the Democratically Controlled Congress would have already started impeachment proceedings.

Answer 11

so, going forward, adherence to the law will be considered only when budgets and convenience will allow?

that is an amazing statement.

cons set up what bush will experience when they decided to waste plenty of the taxpayers money in an eight year investigation of bill clinton that finally got him on a technicality where he didn't answer questions about a legal affair with a consenting woman.

it's the law, son, you don't like it, move.
