I think this is a BS question, but I'll offer one reason for sport and let other people get to the others.
The rapid erosion of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights under this administration. For example: Warrantless wiretapping.

Because Bush commutated Libby's sentence. His stance for a VERY long time has been ruthless upholding of sentences. He killed 152 out of 153 people on death row as Gov. of Texas. But his buddy gets to serve no prison time? They bypassed all processes to give this Libby. They didn't even allow the appeal process to start. The whole situation wreaks of abuse and special treatment. Pardons and commutations are typically done at the end of a Presidents term, not in the middle of it.
Because Bush won't answer the subpoenas to turn over records about the warrentless wiretaps.
Because anyone who questions the actions of the Administration is call unpatriotic. Would the founders of this great nation support the actions of this administration ("Patriot Act", warrentless wiretapping)?
They won't impeach Bush. Nobody wants Cheney to be president. Hell, I hope they don't impeach Bush without taking Cheney out first.

The American Sheople are listening to the news again. instead of seeing what's REALLY going on. Don't worry, It'll only happen when Harry Reid admits he's really Nancy Pelosi in drag.
The real question is , why doesn't the new minimum wage apply to everyone, somehow Nancy Pelosi allowed some businesses in her district to keep the old minimum wage of 3.50/hr.

Well, George W. Bush is not exactly doing all that he could do to improve the situations currently in Iraq, and problems with homeland security and problems with baby boomers and their social security are also rising so it is time for reform, but he can't be impeached.

I don't agree with the Democratic Party strategy in regards to the Bush Crime Family.
I believe if a president commits an impeachable offense it is the duty of the legislators sworn to uphold the Constitution and charged with the checks & balances responsibility of impeachment....to impeach said president.
Bill Clinton is a liar. George Bush is far worse and has committed hundreds of impeachable offenses that have brought death and destruction to hundreds of thousands…. from illegal war, lying to the American people to start an illegal war, opening the treasury to his friends via no-bid contracts, torture, covering up torture, then attempting to legalize torture, extraordinary rendition, arrest without warrant, arrest without cause, denying legal representation to people arrested, illegally spying on all of the American people, firing U.S. Attorneys for not carrying out republican political attacks in the name of justice.... it just goes on and on and on. George Bush, his crime family and his sheep supporters are anti-American filth
The Democrats are playing politics by not impeaching this traitor. It is wrong to play politics with Constitutional responsibilities
The Democrats want Bush around next election. He's political poison and his presence will seriously hurt republican efforts nationwide.

As mad as people are, Bush has not committed any High Crimes, or Misdemeanors so he cannot be impeached.
People are pissed because he gave his friend who was convicted of Obstruction of Justice, and Perjury a commutation of the sentence.
What they do not realize or do not care about is the fact that all presidents give out presidential pardons..........
And if they bothered to research back....lets say 20yrs....... Far worse criminals have recieved commutations and Pardons.........
Just search Presidential Pardons on Wikipedia and you will see for yourself.............
Then you can form your own opinion.........

Ten Reasons to Impeach George Bush and Dick Cheney
1. Violating the United Nations Charter by launching an illegal "War of Aggression" against Iraq without cause, using fraud to sell the war to Congress and the public, misusing government funds to begin bombing without Congressional authorization, and subjecting our military personnel to unnecessary harm, debilitating injuries, and deaths.
2. Violating U.S. and international law by authorizing the torture of thousands of captives, resulting in dozens of deaths, and keeping prisoners hidden from the International Committee of the Red Cross.
3. Violating the Constitution by arbitrarily detaining Americans, legal residents, and non-Americans, without due process, without charge, and without access to counsel.
4. Violating the Geneva Conventions by targeting civilians, journalists, hospitals, and ambulances, and using illegal weapons, including white phosphorous, depleted uranium, and a new type of napalm.
5. Violating U.S. law and the Constitution through widespread wiretapping of the phone calls and emails of Americans without a warrant.
6. Violating the Constitution by using "signing statements" to defy hundreds of laws passed by Congress.
7. Violating U.S. and state law by obstructing honest elections in 2000, 2002, 2004, and 2006.
8. Violating U.S. law by using paid propaganda and disinformation, selectively and misleadingly leaking classified information, and exposing the identity of a covert CIA operative working on sensitive WMD proliferation for political retribution.
9. Subverting the Constitution and abusing Presidential power by asserting a "Unitary Executive Theory" giving unlimited powers to the President, by obstructing efforts by Congress and the Courts to review and restrict Presidential actions, and by promoting and signing legislation negating the Bill of Rights and the Writ of Habeas Corpus.
10. Gross negligence in failing to assist New Orleans residents after Hurricane Katrina, in ignoring urgent warnings of an Al Qaeda attack prior to Sept. 11, 2001, and in increasing air pollution causing global warming.

1. PATRIOT act
2. Justice Department firings
3. Immigration bill, supporting it
4. Dick Cheney suggesting he is not part of the Executive Branch
5. Pardoning Scooter Libby, after he is convicted of perjury
You asked for reasons people are pissed off at him besides Iraq. These thins, however, are not enough, by themselves, to get him impeached.

No, unfortunately he will serve until we can elect another president. Folks, if you aren't registered to vote, be gettin it on your mind.....
I think people are just tired of being dazzled by his brilliance and baffaled by his bull. The secret is out, it was all bull.
Too many things have come to light that have been hidden from the American people, and we're not happy about it.
It's going to take many years to straighten out the crap he has gotten us into.
Alas the only power we the people have is in the voice of our elections. Let's all put our future polititians in the hot seat and ask them the questions that will affect our lives and our childrens lives, then vote. :)

Since you're not in America what do you care? But NO he is not going to get impeached. You gotta commit a crime first OK? You can't impeach someone just because you want it so.
*sigh!*
Why do I waste my time with this type of retarded question?

No, the Dems are not going to make fools of themselves during an election year. They in a word have no credible evidence against him and addled 9-11 plot theories are not admissable as evidence.
