Worse case scenario, "if" the 'Rats gain the majority in both houses, I doubt they would want to impeach GWB just to make Dick Cheney POTUS

Don't you see? The impeach Bush AND Cheney, and then Bela Pelosi HERSELF is the Prex.

The only thing the 'Rats could do is impeach President Bush. They could never remove him from office, because they could never get 10 Republicans to vote for removal.

It would just be tit-for-tat for the impeachment of Bill Clinton. Stupid petty politics, but immensely damaging to the country, which seems to be the Democrat's strong suit.

Bill Clinton was impeached over criminal conduct. If President Bush is to be impeached, it will be because the Democrats disagree with him on matters of policy.

Actually, if Bush thought he was going to be removed, he could just resign. Then Cheney would have to appoint a new VP — Newt? Then Cheney stays — or resigns or gets removed, making the Newtster the POTUS.

Remember how Watergate unfolded? In the midst of the main scandal, VP Spiro Agnew resigns over a corruption eruption from his days as Maryland governor. Tricky Dick appoints Gerald Ford to replace him. Then, when the Watergate "smoking gun" surfaces, Tricky Dick goes, making Gerry Ford the president. Then Ford famously pardons him and goes on to lose to the peanut farming nuclear physicist in 1976.

Actually, Miss America has no chance of becoming POTUS in any case, because (a) enough 'Rats will defect to prevent the passage of an impeachment resolution and (2) if the House did manage to impeach, the chance of removal by the Senate (67% needed) would be zero. However, what the 'Rats would do is to mount a massive investigation and hold lots of hearings, in hopes of improving their chances in '08.

That's assuming the Donks take the House. What's really going to happen is they're going to wake up Wednesday morning smelling sulphur fumes, and The Great El Diablo will be riding high and we will once again be basking in their rage.

Provided we GOTV!
