Will George Bush's Presidency Survive?

[ThomWV]

This question is simple, will George Bush be allowed to complete his second term or will he not?

[SteppingRazor]

1. Of course he'll survive

Even if he's impeached, we'd need a two-thirds majority in the Senate to remove him from office. Assuming all goes great and we have a 51-49 majority in the Senate after the 2006 elections, that means we'd need 15 GOP senators to vote to remove him. The likelihood of that happening is about the same as the chances of me being our next president in 2008.

[opihimoimoi]

4. He may survive but he will be floundering as a chicken throat slashed

The Policies and Manuevers so far indicate ineptitude and arrogance with a bit of Brain Damage thrown in.

He wages war without knowing how...he violates the tenants of successful warfare.

The huge Drain on our Nation will continue to weaken us to the point of the People rejecting his Management style...

[ForFuxakes]

8. You are assuming that based on NO EVIDENCE yet brought

out in hearings in the House...

Once hearings take place and the sheeple wake up to the truth...well you know how politicians are...

[Independent_Liberal]

26. It's not as out there as you might think.

Nobody thought anything would happen with those Watergate hearings, but then enough Republicans made the decision to go up and tell Nixon it was time to go. Never say never.

[napi21]

2. Unfortunately, I don't think 2 years is enough time to get sufficient

and provable details on his breaking the laws, and get asuper majority vote in the House to Impeach him. Plus, although I do think we are going to take back the Majority, I doubt very much it will be a large enough Majority to be able to push Impeachment through.

[tridim]

11. It'll only take 2 days if the Dems decide to go for it.

Maybe only 2 hours, it's so freaking obvious.

[napi21]

14. Remember I said PROVABLE!

THAT takes time! Documents, fighting people for ignoring subpoenas, suing for destruction of evidence. Do you see what I mean????

[tridim]

19. I understand what you're saying..

I also think that as the evidence begins to be presented in congress and the public gets a good whiff, big things will happen very quickly. I think Mr. Bush and The Dick will be forced to quit before all the evidence is even presented.

[Cosmocat]

47. Not a chance ...

the ONLY things these clowns do well, or prepare for, is finding ways to deal with the truth ...

The BEST we can hope for is the House or Senate getting a D majority to even have hearings ...

[WI_DEM]

3. essentially only two years left and even if dems won control of

congress it takes time to investigate and impeach and who knows if they will even do that? He'll survive but his historical legacy won't.

[CJCRANE]

5. "The Media is the Government"

as Bill Clinton once said.

The MSM will decide.

[DemInDistress]

6. no,that idiot king is "expendable" someone will JFK him.. nt

[Ganja Ninja]

15. More likely he'll do himself in by accident.

He's already had one close call involving a snack food.

[gkhouston]

7. impeachment aside,

I'm not sure his mental and physical health will withstand another 2+ years of downfall, 'cause things aren't going to get any prettier after November even if the R's do stay in power.

[Jack Rabbit]

9. We have a lot of pessimists here.

Visualize the simultaneous impeachment and removal of His Imperial Incompetency and the Big Dick.

Visulize a war crimes tribunal waiting in The Hague for the suspects to arrive.

[elocs]

25. We have a lot of realists here. n/m

[Independent_Liberal]

32. No, you're not realists, you're pessimists.

Remember this quote from www.worldcantwait.net

"The point is this: history is full of examples where people who had right on their side fought against tremendous odds and were victorious. And it is also full of examples of people passively hoping to wait it out, only to get swallowed up by a horror beyond what they ever imagined. The future is unwritten. WHICH ONE WE GET IS UP TO US."

[elocs]

50. Right, we must be pessimists since you say so. I understand now. n/m

[Independent_Liberal]

51. Sorry if I offended you or anyone else earlier.

You're all entitled to your opinions. I just feel the need to get people energized every once in a while. I'm so optimistic most of the time, I just can't help but let out a little rant when people around here sound so negative about everything.

[elocs]

54. I'm glad you are an optimist and we all need a rant once in awhile. n/m

[LaPera]

33. Visualize a republican majority held intact with over 80% of Americans

voting on republican owned, controlled & extremely easily hackable (2 minutes) Diebold electronic voting machines...Now that's NOT pessimism...It's a very real reality!

Get real! The fascist aren't going to let some pesky voters get in their way of power, riches & agenda...

They've got work to do after the Nov. election is stolen...First up - Destroy Social Security - Then, Iran - Then the rest of our Civil Liberties - Then....

[Jack Rabbit]

49. If the election is that obviously fixed

If the election is that obviously fixed, then we will be the ones with work to do.

This is how one deals with stolen elections . . .

If you think the right to vote is worth fighting or even dying for, be prepared.

[Wickerman]

10. He will, regrettably survive his presidency; his legacy, however,

will be that of the most corrupt and deranged pResident in American history. His name will be more hated than Nixon and more scorned than Harding. 100 years from now when someone refers to the drunken president they will not conjure images of Grant - Bush** will come to mnid for our great grandchildren.

[Independent_Liberal]

35. Nixon didn't complete his 2nd term. Let's make sure Bush doesn't complete

his either.

VISUALIZE IMPEACHMENT

Now go do something about it.

[Wickerman]

37. The opinions of the Fighting 101st Keyboarders

are not actually that relevant to reality. My voting in an online poll and stating an opinion on a pro-Dem site is about as likely to get him impeached as your urging us to be optimistic and chastising us to "... go do something about it."

Impeachment would be icing on the cake, but it isn't the sum total of my existence or even political experience. I'm busy trying to fill the vacuum created in social services by Bush** and ilk policies. I'm busy volunteering my time to the area Democratic party to help elect politicians to replace the Bush** clan. I'm busy giving my up vacation time to be a poll worker to insure, from the inside, that at least my precinct will have a fair election. I'm busy writing on local government for my area paper so as to not let local govt go the way of Federal government.

Impeachment is not on my radar screen and isn't worth my energy. Change of direction for my country is. What, pray tell, are you doing to change the direction of this country?

[Independent_Liberal]

42. I'm following the activities of the World Can't Wait Campaign.

www.worldcantwait.net

They're right. The world CAN'T wait!

[Wickerman]

48. I hope you are doing more than following n/t

[LSK]

12. he will survive IF this Congress stays in office

If the Dems get the House there will be impeachment. This torture stuff is really waking up even some Republican Senators.

[elocs]

24. Clinton was impeached, but served out his term.

The Senate needs to convict and there will not be 67 votes to convict.

[LSK]

31. a lot could happen in a year

GOP Senators could be flocking to McCains side if they think hes going to be the next president.

[screembloodymurder]

13. Predictions.

Before the next election,
America will be attacked and
we will attack Iran before Christmas.
Bush will declare martial law and
the draft will be reinstated.
Bush will not leave office in 2008.

[acmavm]

16. Whoa! Four of us jumped on this all at the same time. And we

all have the same opinion.

Who's gonna get rid of them? Are people holding out for the hope that we retake the house and senate and they impeach him?

I hope but I doubt.

[radfringe]

17. at the rate he's going down this road

a better question would be:

Will there be any country left to survive 2 more years of the bush presiDUNCEy

[Dulcinea]

18. Yes.

But he'll be a weak, lame duck pResident.

He won't be able to ram much, if any, of his agenda through. That, to His Royal Brattiness, will be even worse than being impeached.

[Justice Is Comin]

20. No, I'm convinced there are such magnitude high level crimes

you just haven't found out about yet that when they are exposed, he will be a pariah. Nobody will dare defend him.

Whistleblowers will come out of the woodwork if we get subpoena power. That mutated monkey is going down.

[ThomWV]

21. I Think You Are Right

Impeachment need not take 2 years. In fact it need not take 2 months. All that is necessary is subpoena power, and we're soon to have it.

[Independent_Liberal]

22. He's toast!

Anybody who thinks he'll make it to the end is insane.

[elocs]

23. The poll question is "will", not do you want Bush's presidency to survive.

The reality is, no matter what we may wish, that the Bush presidency will survive until the end of his term. If it doesn't, I will be pleasantly surprised and happy.

[Independent_Liberal]

28. Mark my words, he's definitely NOT going to be there in 2008.

You wait and see.

:)

[originalpckelly]

27. I believe it is in a persistent vegetative state.

Or at least he is.

[Independent_Liberal]

29. Remember this folks, he's somebody who's never finished anything before.

[gorgan]

30. how bout choice 3

"He will stay in office past his second term?"

[lumberjack_jeff]

44. Sure. Pax Americana needs an emperor, dunnit? n/t

[Independent_Liberal]

34. THE WORLD CAN'T WAIT... Anybody mobilizing for October 5th?

[Independent_Liberal]

36. Start hitting this poll optimists! The pessimists are winning!

Anybody who thinks we'll be able to survive 2 more years of this shit is nuts! They want to dominate the world! They're going to declare martial law and start a full out military dictatorship! You've gotta believe me! They have to be stopped! For the future of mankind! Sorry for ranting, but it's true!

[LaPera]

40. People with perception & brains are winning...People not living in some

fantasy world...and see the reality and not hiding their heads in the sand...Where the media, most people get their daily info from, is owned by five republican corporations. Where republicans own the method in which we vote (Diebold)...Where republican Sec. of States who count the votes are in place wherever needed...Where republicans have a never ending money supply as needed to bribe and corrupt where needed...Where republicans control all three branches of government and the US Supreme Court and the military...Your assuming far too much to happen in LESS than two years!!!


Where as in 2007 is when the new Congress takes up business. Bush will have less than two years left, no fucking way...Accusation, investigations, hearings, trials, rebuttals, etc...don't happen over night...Whit powerful republican fighting it EVERY step of the way...Shit, the elections campaigns of 2008 will be in full swing by that time...Get real, your expecting far too much in less than two years.

The question is for reality, not what you hope and fantasize will happen.

[Independent_Liberal]

45. I'm not living in fantasy!

It's a matter of life and death. If we don't throw these bums out, we aren't worthy of a future.

[LaPera]

46. No one disagrees with that-But that's not what the "simple" question was.

[Jacobin]

38. no oral sex, no impeachable offense

Plus, since he's a republican, the media would view him getting consensual oral sex from another woman not his wife, as like, the new really cool Christian thing to do.

[AspenRose]

39. I don't know, but my question is whether we will survive as a nation

while he remains in office.

[Independent_Liberal]

43. We WON'T survive! People need to wake up!

They're going to create a police state!

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

41. Impeachment is a political, not legal, act.

The Democrats haven't the votes or the stomach to pursue it.

[TahitiNut]

52. He'll be martyred before the 2008 election.

I've said this before, since shortly after 2004's abomination. I can see no other outcome. For a variety of reasons (e..g. psychological, criminal, political) he'll be martyred by the Reich - with a suitable scapegoat, of course. He's a massive potential liability as an ex-pResident and a workable asset as a martyr. Thus, they have little choice. (The ends justify the means.)

They WON'T let him out of office - not by impeachment and not by living until January 2009.

[magellan]

53. Yes, believing otherwise is wishful thinking

There just isn't the moral or ethical fortitude in our government to hold him to account.
