The Impeach Bush crowd is warming up for the big event. Democrat congressman Maurice Hinchey of New York a Hillary operative notorious for his loose lips provided some useful insights into the Democrats impeachment strategy in remarks delivered at a July 30 town hall meeting in Ithaca, New York.
Citing the Downing Street memos and the Plamegate controversy, Hinchey stated in a public forum at Ithacas Town Hall, My greatest hope is that all of these things will be revealed, they will be revealed in a very direct and legal context, and that in 2006 a Democratic majority will be elected to the House of Representatives, and in February of 2006 impeachment proceedings will begin.
Hinchey, an ultra-left Democrat, represents New Yorks 22nd Congressional District, which encompasses Cornell University and the artists colony at Woodstock, New York, scene of the 1969 music festival enshrined in countercultural legend.
Like Hillary in her 2000 Senate race, Hinchey was cross-endorsed in the 2004 election by the far-left Working Families Party a front group for the radical cult ACORN, which ACORN established in New York in 1998.

I think they'd get more traction with failure to protect the homeland.

Way down on my list would be hand carried through the desert south of Arizona, but then I am not usually one to plan such types of operations.
Doesn't fit the parameters of the Immigration fanatics world view does it? Funny how they always ignore the fact that the only people who have crossed, or attempted to cross, US boarders to wage terrorist acts have been legal visa holders. Kind of have to wonder at what motivates them to twist every single thread into a highly paranoid rant about "borders" and "illegals"?

My prediction, if Dims attempt to launch an impeachment as the minority, they implode within 3 months of the announcement.
Any other estimates?

"Yeah, you liberal lunatic, use the totally DISCREDITED Downing Street Memo and the totally DISCREDITED Plame affair to impeach the President!"If you get a chance, check out the moonbats on George Noory's (Crazy People) Coast to Coast radio show. They've been barking about these stories for months. Now, they're saying that President Bush went on vacation because he knows Washington D.C. is going to be attacked in August. They should stick to commenting about UFO's, chupacabras, crop circles and remote viewing. Art Bell's old gig has descended from the realm of somnambulant nitwits to certifiably insane conspiracy theorists.

"The border is going to ruin all the gains we've made in the last 6 years."
No it isn't. Despite what you and others on FR think, the problem existed long before President Bush was in office. Illegal immigration did not become a problem on January 20, 2001 and it will not disappear on January 20, 2009 no matter who the next President is. Now why don't you post your impeachment crap in the thousands of immigration threads.
Do you ever reread any of the nastiness and hypocrisy you peddle? Politics and policy are not a sport where you root for your team, cheer when they get away with infractions and consider the win more important than how it was gained. This is where your bot-compadres and my "border wedgies" differ the most - my faction tends to be more concerned with the nation's long-term health than quadriannual short-term victories. Because it's not a game...it's the legacy we're leaving our progeny to deal with.
We don't want to see Bush dragged before impeachment hearings but the fact remains that he's left himself wide open for it (Article four, Section four). He has abdicated his duty to protect his charge from invasion. Has nothing to do with Democrats, Hillary or racism, just political favoritism for high-end contributors. If he's clean he has nothing to fear. If he isn't I say it's a shame that a MAN (not a godling) trashed what could have been an outstanding legacy (post 9-11) by favoring special interests over his Constitutional duty.
I hold all politicians to that, whether they be McCain, Tancredo, Clinton or Kennedy. Never mind that three of those should be impeached immediately (and I don't mean the Representative from Colorado). That corrupt Republicans get a "bye" just because they're Republicans doesn't cut it - they screw everything up for everyone following them while turning off legions of potential voters. The "Hispandering" tactic turns off Latino-descended citizens, insults immigrants trying to acheive citizenship properly and demeans the value of citizenship itself. Ecomomic theories take a back seat to Law.
It's not a game - these people are responsible for soldiers in the field, citizens' employment environment, health and welfare (small "w") and preserving the overall system against a planet rife with governments/regimes/tyrannies/fanatical theocracies slavering to tear us down by any means possible. You guys seem to be so infatuated with "the game" that you've lost sight of what has made us better than them. You're inattention to ethics and what's right has lowered the planet's opinion of America to the point where we need to get out of the U.N. - not just because they've become our antithesis but also because we've lost too much respect from nations who traditionally admired us for keeping to the high road no matter what. With Bolton you've probably thrown a tough triage specialist into a task requiring Colin Powell's gravity and intelligence. "Colin who? Pissed the boss off? Don't know him."
Our government is not for sale, especially by people who don't own it (nor repect it, revere it, sacrificed for it...). It boils down to right versus wrong.
Worship God because men will always be subject to the foibles of being human. God, in Genesis, made special mention of Idolatry...I'd sure hate to have to answer for that one.

===============================
Theodore Roosevelt
"The President is merely the most important among a large number of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the Nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else." "Roosevelt in the Kansas City Star", 149 May 7, 1918

OK, I'll bite. They impeach Bush and then get Chaney to be president for the remainder of the term, and then he runs.......and wins. That works. Actually, the stuff I have heard is that they are going after Bush and Chaney. They are more afraid of a Chaney White House than the current one.

COEXER is right. If you go to the UFW wabsite, they trace congressional negotiations on AgJobs back into the 90s.
When Bush entered office, immigration reform was on his agenda and Congress agreed to make futher effort to create legislation.
It was taken off the table because of 9-11 and the war. As that was taken care of, Congress began working on reform again.
The final version of AgJobs was completed and introduced in 03. In early 04 McCain and thr Arizona delegation introduced their bill which was followed by Cornyn's bill which was followed by the Bush Plan. Then came Daschele-Hagel followed by Kennedy-Gutierrez.
Then the dems decided that Bush was vulnerable and withdrew from negotiations until after the election. McCain and Kennedy began working on their compromise bill within a week after the elections.
The Republicans split on immigration reform in mid 03 and here it is 2 years later and still neither group has enough votes to pass a bill.

He has abdicated his duty to protect his charge from invasion. Has nothing to do with Democrats, Hillary or racism, just political favoritism for high-end contributors. You make a lot of unproven, hyperbolic and emotional charges. Do you care to elaborate? For example, how has the President abdicated his duty to protect us when we read almost every week how dozens of illegals are being rounded up and deported? Just last week DHS arrested over 500 Hispanic gang members for eventual deportation. Did you see that?

You are not expected, unfortunately, to understand what NRT just wrote. It's too much above and beyond your level of intellect. What NRT wrote is very important. Everybody should pay attention at what was said. You are more interested in picking a fight than trying to comprehend what was said.

Thank you, sincerely, for what I consider another rant. I used to have more time for serious dissection but have been caught up in the latest American phenomenon: A Job and A Half, if Not Two. Our economy gets better because we refuse to throw in the towel and be wussies no matter what. I don't know. I do know that I'm fighting for survival against a system that increasingly sees me as a liability because of my American citizenship within my own country. That's just wrong.
So I'm tooling together my former art skills with a mind to provide a product or service unique enough that it can't be "outsourced" or ripped off without strong challenge.
And they told me in school that I was wasting my time not focusing on industrial classes (who's "stupid" now?). 25 years sees a world change. I mourn for the overall betrayal I've witnessed yet hope we can pull out of this dive. Too many citizens regard politics as a lost cause when they should regard it as an opportunity.
