Richard Nixon was impeached? I guess I missed that one....
It's in Times "book of what we wish was true but we'll keep saying it anyway".
So have Bill and Hillary and Justice Ginsburg. And the writer's point is what exactly?
I missed it, too!
What Republicans? Name some sources or consider this a fabrication. Cheney is the best VP we have had and selecing Condi for successor would be a major mistake. It will never happen under Bush anyway. This is a PravdABDNC hoax.
Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters
The author claims to be a Democrat who "voted for Bush". Yeah, right.
That would look manipulative and phony.
The get Cheney scheme is part of a get Bush scheme. Right now, if Bush were impeached and resigned, chosing not to fight, the libs would be stuck with Cheney, a significant deterrent to moving aginst Bush.
They had the same problem at the time of Wategate, since they'd have gotten Agnew if they just removed Nixon; hence, they had to get Agnew before they could get Nixon. They got Agnew, because Agnew was a tax evader, then the way was cleared for them to go on to get Nixon. Cheney is Bush's last and most important shield against impeachment.
Bush should resign and let Cheney take over ,put Condi as Vp
No way. That would just encourage a DemonRat feeding frenzy.
Dump the times. Keep the administration.
What the Times is proposing is a replay of a plan that worked for the democrat party once before.
The democrats wanted Nixon out of office. However, there was one tremendous obstacle.
They did NOT want Spiro T. Agnew as President.
They clearly understood that they could not get the votes - even from their own party members - to force Nixon out of office, nor impeach him if the alternative was going to be Vice President Agnew.
So, they began developing the Agnew scandal and prosecution, and succeded in forcing him from office so that they could turn their attention to President Nixon.
They worked to get the non-charismatic Gerald Ford named Vice President - then proceeded to portray him as an honest, but goofy, awkward, stumbling, falling, slow - thinking dumbass. (But they wouldn't mind him being President for a brief period).
Then they opened fire on Nixon with all guns blazing: TV, magazines, party leaders, the press....and ran him out of office.
Vice President Cheney is an obstacle to impeaching President Bush. The left would have difficulty getting the votes if they thought Dick Cheney would become the President.
So, the work has begun to remove Cheney. (And you can bet they would not allow someone as dynamic as Rice become VP.)
...But, as you look around and watch the long knives at work, you can see (and pardon me for using this phrase) a "vast left-wing conspiracy" with powerful, rich, influential individuals directing things from the shadows...and we've only just begun.
My apologies to libstripper who posted remarks saying the same thing I was saying - but doing it more succinctly than I did and doing it while I was typing.
I have difficulty being brief. :o)
Fake Republicans maybe, but all good conservative Republicans know that Rumsfeld is the BEST we have had in ages!!
uh...make that Cheney.
