If Republicans say Bush has done nothing wrong, then why are they worried about impeachment trials?

Question

Think about it. If Bush is really innocent as Republicans say, why not give 50% of the public benefit of the doubt and start impeachment hearings?
If he's really innocent, then surely there's nothing to worry about.

Dirty Martini: So you don't mind giving Bush a blank check to continue his illegal war, but investing money to prevent further disregard to our own country is a waste?

Answer 1

Republicans know that Bush has done wrong, it's just that republican philosophy of party over country that is stopping them from doing the right thing. They are also worried that their hate filled base will not vote for them come election time if they say anything bad about the neo-con idol, Bush.

Answer 2

That the first time I have heard anyone express an opinion that Republicans are "worried". Since, there is no evidence to support impeachment don't you think the Government would be better off actually attending to the business of running the Country. And why do you want to ignore the wishes of 60% of the Country (the figure on supporters of impeachment is only 45%) who don't want to start such hearings on bogus evidence.

Answer 3

Is there REALLY any SERIOUS effort to impeach? Let's face it, I do not like President George W. Bush (I always identify which 'Bush' I am talking about. His Dad was great!). I think he has made serious mistakes and probably is one of history's worst presidents. But impeachment?

Is there really a high crime or misdemeanor? Do we really want impeachment to be run-of-the-mill politics? I hope not.

Let's worry about the future, not the past. We have a Congress dominated by the Democrats. Let's make changes as the American people wanted. Otherwise, we will have another Republican in the White House with a Republican Congress.

Let's do some work, not some revenge.

Answer 4

What would be nice is the motion to start the investigation into the articals of impeachment, but then by the time the investigation is over the GW would be out of office. Even if he is impeached, do you think it is going to make a difference unless by some chance he remains president becauce of another attact on the U.S, backed by him and his cronies? No matter what. he will PARDON himself, along with all of the others in his administration that have commited crimes against Americia, her people and the world.

Answer 5

A trial might bring up some really bad things, things no one but the trolls on here would be able to accept. These people would rather live with their head in the sand then face the truth,.

Answer 6

Bush isn't worried about being impeached because the majority of Representatives and Senates don't support it. He only has about 18 months left in office.

Answer 7

keeping Bush in is a sure way for the democrats to win in 2008

Answer 8

As slow as that bunch in DC are, why in the freakin world would you wanna start something that has no possible way of being finished ? Im sick of all the bickering in washington, they werent elected to bicker, they were elected to 'uphold' the constitution that they have ALL completely destroyed.

Answer 9

Truth hurts. They thought they were past Nixon. Now, here's Bush, worst of 'em all.

Of course, I'm extremely disappointed in the Democrats. Not a gonad among them. I get sick every morning seeing how many of our soldiers died over night.

Sad all around.

Answer 10

Your mind is liberally deluded. You are making up BS with that statement. They can't be worried when there's NOTHING you can impeach him on. You might as well give up. You can't make it happen when there's nothing in your favor.
