How nervous is Bush right now?

[undeterred]

The word impeachment is being thrown around left and right. Someone from his own party thinks he's in an alternate reality.

[BayouBengal07]

1. I dunno

I haven't really heard the I-word much outside of circles like DU.

[undeterred]

6. Wisconsin Democratic party called for it last weekend.

Some people in the DSM hearing Thursday said it.

[BlueStateBlue]

27. There were two LTTEs in my local paper that called for impeachment

this week. :woohoo:

[iconoclastic cat]

2. "Who cares what you think?"

I think that says it all about how he feels about criticism.

[Fridays Child]

3. He's too deeply delusional to be nervous.

And that's a fact that should be keeping all of us up at night.

[corbett]

19. Sad But True

I concur. KKKarl will keep him insulated until there's no turning back.

[H2O Man]

4. I think he is angry & frustrated.

His personality make-up is more likely to produce a mean, nasty-tempered reaction than nervousness that a person with a developed conscience would have.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

5. He's losing his own congress as well.

His poll numbers are in the shitter. He's tanking everywhere. The war has become anathema. The largest bloc of voters, the middle class, is getting hammered and it's only gonna get worse for them. Forclosures are skyrocketing.

This guy is in trouble. Serious trouble.

I will say it again: By 2006 elections, the lid is gonna be off this sucker.

[cynatnite]

7. He probably thinks it'll go away if he ignores it

kinda like the way I think my credit card bill will go away :smoke:

[knowbody0]

8. he only speaks to "yes" persons

but I'm thinking Lala watches and reads....and that she's suspicious of her hero

[natrat]

9. no one getting impeached with thug controll of congress

this guy could give a rat's ass about anything as long as he gets to read the sports page each morningf

[mtnsnake]

26. That's like saying we don't really have evidence to get the job done.

I don't think that's the case at all. With the evidence so plainly in front of everyone, we shouldn't take it for granted that Republicans would vote 100% along party lines.

[Mist]

10. As far as * knows, everything's hunky-dory. Cheney and Rover, however,

are probably -very- nervous.

[BringEmOn]

11. Junior, the What Me Worry president?

[KarenS]

12. "Men" like him ~ wealthy,entitled, ruling class, CEO-type guys ~

act even more authoritarian & macho when threatened.

Hopefully, his bruised ego & fears will prompt more off-the-cuff & spontaneous outpourings. This is when he reveals himself to us all and makes a laughing stock of himself.

sheesh,,,, I sound cynical, don't I???

13. Dave Zweifel: We've seen enough to impeach Bush

http://www.madison.com/tct/opinion/index.php?ntid=44161&ntpid=0

"As I said in this space two weeks ago, if Bill Clinton was impeached for lying about having sex with an intern, then George Bush needs to be impeached for the deliberate lies he and his cabal told to start a war that has now taken the lives of more than 1,700 young American men and women and countless Iraqi citizens, plus threatens to bankrupt the country.


One of our "Sound Off" callers insisted last week that only "Bush haters" would say such things.

Another took to task the Wisconsin Democratic Party, which passed a resolution calling for the president's impeachment at its convention a week ago, for being "foolish and shortsighted."

"They bathe themselves in the lies, falsehoods and accusations against the Bush administration, unable to accept their losses, which will continue as far as we can see into the future," the caller insisted.

If I were that caller, I wouldn't bet a lot on those assumptions, for it's becoming clear that Americans are beginning to realize what an utter disaster this administration has been for their country. The president's approval ratings are at historic lows - well below 50 percent - and even the war he bamboozled Congress and the people to approve is being questioned by not a minority any more, but the majority of the American people.

What the opinion polls show is that many more than just "Bush haters" have seen enough.

The recent disclosures of secret memos of meetings involving British Prime Minister Tony Blair's staff have underlined just how cynical and deceitful the people entrusted to lead the United States were in fabricating intelligence to get this war under way. It has become clear that they never had any intention of letting the United Nations try to settle the dispute. It seems clear now that they had made up their minds nearly a year before that Saddam Hussein was to be forcibly deposed.

Yet Bush and his lieutenants kept telling the American people that war would be waged only as a last resort.

As Rep. John Conyers, a Michigan Democrat, said last week, "The veracity of those statements has - to put it mildly - come into question."

Because the administration refuses to answer questions about the so-called Downing Street memo and others that have surfaced since and because Bush's party controls all of Congress, Conyers had to resort to a "public forum" to gather testimony on the issue.

In a matter of a few days, more than a half million Americans signed petitions backing Conyers in urging the president to explain the memos. So far, Bush has dismissed it all as "falsehoods" and refused to comment further.

But the people want answers. Even those who don't hate Bush don't like being lied to.

Lying presidents need to be impeached. That's what the Republicans in Congress told us only a few years ago.

So let's get on with it.

Thank you wisconsin!

[bridgit]

14. it's a good thing he's so detached...

being made to bare responsibility for destroying the god given world would make a normal person flip straight out

[Just Me]

15. Bush, personally? I don't he's suffering.

He's been sheltered and molded and emboldened his whole life.

I am incapable of imagining his greatest frustration.

:rofl: Except maybe Laura telling him "NO,...honey." Or Rove advising him to avoid being quite so loose in his appearance.


Or, some silly shit like that. :shrug:

I mean, seriously,...

:wtf: does this man have to be nervous about?

[uppityperson]

16. He's too busy thinking about Iraq.

I heard him on the radio today. He said he thinks about Iraq every day. Imagine. He's so busy. What a guy.

[KarenS]

18. Thinkin about Iraq is hard work (for him) n/t

[uppityperson]

17. delete double post

I hate my computer and dialup when it does this. sorry.

[spartan61]

20. I think a man like bush is very fragile when it comes to criticism.

His mental health is not good to begin with and as the pressure mounts his reactions will become more and more irrational. Even his closest advisors will be unable to control him and his God complex will bring him over the brink. He will self destruct. The only question being, will it be enough to take down his whole corrupt organization ? I am hoping it will. we just need to keep the pressure up !!

I remember before the election there were reports that he was acting irrational and weird and some even said he was having to be medicated. Add his temper to the mix, ( remember when asked about Kenny Boy Lay and he stormed off the stage without answering?), we just might see a complete meltdown. Off course, the media will not report it just as they didn't report Reagan's condition even while he was in office. As the pressure mounts, it is going to get interesting. Think I'll start popping my popcorn to get ready for the show

[undeterred]

21. I think you're right

He doesn't like the real work of being president to begin with, and he's not suited to it. So to face up to the fact that he is failing in every way, and the public humiliation of that- its not going to be pretty.

[graywarrior]

22. I know how a dry drunk thinks. Believe me, he's seething.

[streblin]

23. his arrogance is what insulates

him from the truth. he's a known person of denial (not making any mistakes). however, he's not "the sharpest tool in the shed" and because of this and recent developments the village idiot's number will be called (unfortunately not in a draft). he's gonna muck this one up folks and no electronic device, cheney or whatever is gonna be able to help this liar. :mad:

[AlCzervik]

24. Do sociopaths get nervous?

[Patty Diana]

25. He's nervous as a cat!!!!

That what my manic friend tells me when he's upset

[Telly Savalas]

28. Not very.

There's a huge diffence between a word being thrown around and having 51 Senators that would be willing to vote guilty in an impeachment trial.

[David Zephyr]

29. Psychopaths never worry or regret.

He's not worried in the least. He's incapable of being worried.
