Richard Nixon was impeached? I guess I missed that one....
So have Bill and Hillary and Justice Ginsburg. And the writer's point is what exactly?
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.

The author claims to be a Democrat who "voted for Bush". Yeah, right.
That would look manipulative and phony.
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.
Fake Republicans maybe, but all good conservative Republicans know that Rumsfeld is the BEST we have had in ages!!
uh...make that Cheney.
"REPUBLICANS are urging President George W Bush to dump Dick Cheney as vice-president and replace him with Condoleezza Rice if he is serious about presenting a new face to the jaded American public. "
===
Those are the same Republicans who will vote third party or stay home, letting the Dems win, just because of one issue or another.
Cheney has been invaluable. The ingrate Republicans who want to get rid of Cheney should be ashamed of themselves.
And even thinking strategically, dumping Cheney would be an admission of weakness, signaling to the Dem hyena pack to increase their attacks.
The best defense is an offense. The Bush administration should go on the offense, touting the great economy, the successes in the war on terror and so on, not let the Dems define the agenda.
Republicans should stick together -- we either hang together, or hang separately. Only by unifying, will we be able to hold onto the House and Senate.

You can only replace a vice president with the speaker of the house.
The dump Cheney for Rice is cover for just plain dumping Cheney.
Then the MSM would repeat that Libby worked for Cheney and Cheney was being dumped not for 2008 election reasons, but because he is guilty of some undeclared criminal offense in the "leaking" of Plame.
Duplicitious stories, that's all. It is a feint to attack Bush and overturn the election!
Nope...I love Condi, but she's somewhat socially liberal. She says she's proudly "an affirmative action baby". We don't need that. I think she's the best Sec State since Shultz, though. I hope she stays there if the GOP nominee gets the job in 08.
Tom Edmonds?
Has anyone heard of him?
