Do you think that Bush will be impeached & Removed from office...

[WI_DEM]

in the next two years?

[sam sarrha]

1. He will either have a break down or start assassinating his detractors

[Poiuyt]

4. That's already happened

[sam sarrha]

15. which one..??

[Freddie Stubbs]

26. James Brown, Gerald Ford?

;)

[RaleighNCDUer]

2. Hard to see, the dark side is... nt

[malaise]

3. He will resign and be confined to

a mental institution.

[Independent_Liberal]

5. My thoughts exactly.

:)

[malaise]

14. Great minds think alike

for surely we are no fools. :D Bush is a fugging lunatic.

[MrSlayer]

6. Unfortunately I think he gets away with everything and walks.

No impeachment, no resignation.

[Independent_Liberal]

8. Yeah, give up.

Let's be like the 'Good Germans' and let our country descend into fascism. Is that what you want?

[mentalsolstice]

21. My anger is white-hot blazing

I agree that impeachment (and conviction) would be wonderful, and a start. However, impeachment with conviction would just send him home early to Crawford to clear brush, which seems to be the only thing he does well. A subsequent criminal prosecution would be required. Whether he goes home early, or he goes home in Jan. 2009, he'll simply insulate himself from the damage he has done (he doesn't read, remember?).

For me this isn't enough! We need a criminal prosecution at the international level. I don't know if what he's done rises to being chargeable as war crimes, but maybe he can be prosecuted for committing crimes against peace or crimes against humanity.

7. I voted number 3 as shorthand for either 3 or 4

Congressional investigators will not have to dig too deep to find serious wrongdoing the part of the Frat Boy and the Big Dick. This includes the manipulation of prewar intelligence, which should properly be regarded as a war crime.

They will be gone before the end of this year.

[WiseButAngrySara]

10. Thank You! One hopeful person who still believes in justice. ..n/t

[Initech]

9. I picture one of two scenarios:

1. Bush will resign once investigations have begun before any serious incriminating evidence is unveiled.

2. If history repeats itself, he'll be impeached by the house, but the senate will not find enough evidence to convict and remove him from office.

[Independent_Liberal]

16. On your #1, were you thinking something like...

...a Nixon-type scenario.

Like:

1.) Cheney is indicted and resigns.

2.) Bush is forced to appoint McCain as VP.

3.) Bush resigns.

4.) McCain becomes President.

That's kind of what I had in mind.

[Initech]

18. Yeah, something like that.

[RiverStone]

11. Bush will pull a Nixon.

And resign in disgrace before he gets spanked.

[Raine]

12. No with only two years left

he will finish out his term.

[Independent_Liberal]

19. No, we CAN'T let it happen.

If he does, his fascist remaking of society will be made permanent. I mean it. The course will be irreversible.

[liberal renegade]

13. the only sure fire way

to get this sob kicked to the curb, is a presidential hummer......somebody's gotta do it...:o

[B Calm]

17. I look for him to resign in shame!

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

20. Impeachment is a political act. And, risky one. The will to do so isn't there.

Politicians, by nature, are averse to risk taking. Unless some heavyweight politicians are willing to stick their necks out, it won't happen.

The only way it will happen is if the public outcry for resignation or impeachment forces them to act.

[WI_DEM]

24. I agree 100%

Unless the public gets as up in arms as they did during Watergate and demands action--it won't be done. The GOP House defied the public in 1998 and impeached Clinton (The Senate acquited him)and the result were record high approval ratings for Clinton and a loss of ten house seats for the GOP that November.

[TaleWgnDg]

22. Lookit, this is an easy one . . .

1.) The Democrats do not want him impeached because then there will be no political ploy to fling nahs and other negative stuff at . . . and this guy truly deserves all the negativity!

2.) The Republicans do not want him impeached because he is their rightwing boy. Besides, they merely have to distance themselves from him, period.

Remember, this is politics, not what "should" or "should not" be, morally, ethically, or legally. Unlike Clinton's impeachment merely because the religious rightwingnuts were allowed to do so on their agenda of "morality."

[jeff30997]

23. No, he will not be impeached/removed from office...

Sigh!!!

[Imagevision]

25. Investigations will reveal overwhelming damaging evidence against Bush so much so

that even the republicans will vote in favor of impeachment in attempts to keep their jobs in the 2008 elections.

It all hangs on what is revealed to the American people with the lead up to the war and 9-11, Katrina response etc.

[porphyrian]

27. I wonder why so many voted 'no.'

Is is just cynicism? Defeatism? An attempt to avoid getting our hopes up only to have them crushed yet again? Some inside knowledge the rest of us aren't privy to? All of that? Something else?

[Independent_Liberal]

33. I'm afraid they don't realize how dangerous these people are.

Those who voted no just need to realize that if we don't make efforts to impeach we are condoning these actions and all future presidents will be the same.

[Generic Brad]

28. I predict he will forceably be removed from office

If impeached, he will not leave. When his term ends, he will not leave. He came in illegally, he will have to be removed illegally. He has thumbed his nose at the Constitution and that is not going to change.

Interesting times we are observing. :popcorn:

[elocs]

29. I am amazed that at this time there are 48 people here that much in touch with reality.

"If wishes were horses, the beggars would ride". Just because people really, really, wish and want Bush to be impeached, doesn't mean it will happen. At least there are some who believe that even if he is impeached he will never be convicted.

[Independent_Liberal]

31. Just because they're fighting for it doesn't mean they're not in touch with reality.

They're fighting for the constitution and democracy. Daniel Ellsberg recently said if we don't even attempt to impeach then we're accepting a man who thinks of himself as a dictator.

[WinkyDink]

30. I'm not lucky enough to see BOTH Nixon and Bush depart early.

[Independent_Liberal]

32. It will happen! Mark my words.

The naysayers can nay nay all they want, but I can't wait to see them balling when they're proven wrong. Sorry, I just love joking around with people. I can't help myself.
