Bush can't be impeached for lying about WMD's because the Democrats know that they are the one's who started the cry for Saddam's ouster and his WMD's.

Bush can't be impeached for using domestic spying without warrants because Bill Clinton used electronic spying(Echelon) without warrants following the 1993 WTC bombing. The liberal media called Clinton's spying a 'necessity' but when Bush did it following 9/11, the lib media and the Democrats called it 'illegal'.

It isn't ILLEGAL as you stated.
But when it comes to liars, we should "hold their feet to the fire".
Unethical behavior should NEVER be tolerated.
We were given FREEDOM by our Founding Fathers. They knew that: to have freedom, you must be held responsible for your actions.
Freedom of speech doesn't mean you can say anything you wish without being held liable. - Or at least it shouldn't! Duels used to be fought over liable and slanderous statements.
If we as Americans keep demanding freedom and reject being responsible for the outcome of our actions, the government then becomes the final authority and we we end up giving our freedoms BACK to the Government to handle the responsibilities.
Tyranny results.

I personally think he should have been impeached for dereliction of duty for ignoring terrorism until after we were attacked!

We are not going to waste the peoples $$$ on an impeachment proceeding. We want W to stay and keep digging that Republican Grave fr us. Every time he denies something, the Democratic's get an other vote!!

Because it IS against the law to violate the Constitution (i.e. torture, denial of due process, warrentless wiretaps/searches/surveillance, denial of legal representation and habeaus corpus. And the claim tha tthese only apply to "enemy combatants won't fly--Americans have been victimized as well).
Thee's more, but you get the idea.

It is fairly obvious that the Bush administration has in fact broken the FISA by doing warrantless wiretaps. This is far worse than what Clinton was impeached for.

Hard to say. It would be like killing a person who was threatening looking and reached into their coat pocket....
The "self defense" argument. (I thought he had a gun!)
You would have to prove that he knew that there were probably no WMD's...and that Iraq was not a threat.
And if you could that would probably fall under "high crimes".

Ask the people who supported Clinton's impeachment for those very reasons.

because when someone who is in a position of power lies and is unethical it's much worse than when somebody with no power does the same. more people get hurt that way.
