Facing Our Constitutional Crisis (w/ Impeachment Poll)

Facing Our Constitutional Crisis (w/Poll)

In the run-up to the 2000 decision of Bush v. Gore, the Republican establishment worked tirelessly to frame the events of those days as a 'constitutional crisis' -- a situation so dire, so delicate -- as to threaten the very foundation of our nation's existence.

So, it was with great relief that Justice Scalia hastily passed down the high court's decision to forego a genuine manual recount and award to George W. Bush the White House and all its associated powers, real or imagined.

Little did the Supremes (or the rest of the Republican establishment) imagine that those actions would be the catalyst that set forth a series of unfortunate, unforgivable, and completely unnecessary, events that would eventually lead to a genuine constitutional crises -- a situation truly dire and legitimately threatening to the founding principles of America.

But here we are -- crisis in hand. ......

.....more....

Should George W. Bush be impeached?
No! That would simply make the Democrats look like unpatriotic extremists. 2%
No! After all, it's not like Bush is guilty of getting a blow**b. 2%
Yes! The integrity of America's founding principles must be restored. 42%
F**k yeah! Bush and Co are the greatest threat to planet Earth in 65 million years. Get him out!!! 48%
Beats me. I'm a fence-riding, spineless, waffle-bunny with no opinion worth sharing. 4%

Votes: 47

2. Since democrats need 17 republican votes why don't they canvass
find out which republican is likely to vote with them. Then find out which they can sway to give this country the dignity back we so much deserve.

Then if they republicans won't switch, start a campaign in their state, telling the Americans there just what bush has done, what he is still capable of doing and why he must go. In six months we could have bush and cheney out. Even if they go for a replacement vice president, he will be 100% better than the ones we have now. I say get cracking house and senate. IMPEACH THE BASTAR*S NOW.
