I agree, but for different reasons. If the Dims seek to impeach President Bush and they are successful at ousting him, Dick Cheney will become POTUS. As much as the Dims hate Bush, they hate Cheney even more. Either they've not thought this impeachment thing through or they've risen to a new level of stupidity that I've not yet given them credit for. Ain't gonna happen.....
Or, they're going to impeach both of them.
Like it says in the article.
Democrats are useful idiots.
That's the same song R's were singing in 54 and it took them 40 years to regain power.Just as Iraq is not Vietnam, so this off-year election is not 1954. Although I would much prefer the pubs to maintain control of everything, I don't look at it as a certain disaster if they lose the house.
We can survive a dim house victory IF (and this is a big if) W looks that loss square in the face, fires all the weasels who surround him with "uniter-not-divider" advice and go out onto the media field of battle and take on the traitors in an open fight, naming names and naming crimes. If he does this he can not lose. If he doesn't do this, we all lose.
Exactly. Someone sees a large number in the 70s and deduces from there. If you just halve the percentages of people saying "mostly R", it pushes the overall into the 80s and that's being very cautious. It's an irrelevant poll, just as the ones in the MSM are due to its national scope.
Of course they won't.,
A little history lesson is in order, friend.
In early 70's, Russia was in the forefront of spreading its "Wars of Liberation" and "we" were seeing the Cold War for all it was worth.
Many thought the same as you, yet the Congress, led by Leftist, Anti-American, Pro-Communists DhimicRATS, (with the shameful acquiesence of the wuss Pubes) succeeded in cutting off ALL funding for not only our support of South Vietnam, but any other engagment we were involved in which advance our Cold War efforts.
Also, you should familiarize yourself with the Church Amendment, which emasculated and tied the hands (for the next 30 years) of our Intelligence Agencies.
Think it can't happen again?
Think for ONE minute the Far-Left, Hate-American, Pro-Islamofacist really "CAIR" about the future of our Great Republic, other than to see it destroyed?
Think again!!!
If the Dems do gain a majority in the House it will be by one or two seats. There is no way they will get a unanimous vote from their caucus to support impeachment.
Let's take it a step further. They also have plans for going after Cheney. In a Pelosi-controlled House, guess who is next in line for POTUS? That could never happen, either. The Clintons would not allow Pelosi to become the first female Speaker and President. The latter is reserved for Madame Hillary's coronation (which I hope to God NEVER happens).
John Dean like Carter just wants to destroy President Bush. They must be upset that they did nothing in their lives that counts for anything. Poor little men.
Do you REALLY believe W would take ANY such action?
Lets face it, W is NOT a Conservative!!!!
Do you think that W would fire ANYONE?
Do you believe that W would fight back?
Sorry, after seeing 6 years of what President Bush has--or more aptly, has NOT--done, does not give me much hope for anything closely resembling your scenario.
We might could survive a RAT Senate, (after all, there isn't a dime's worth of difference between most Pubes and the Dhimis in the Senate) but we are doomed if they get control of the house.
IMHO, of course, but I am not willing to take any chances as the house is the only body (and its shaky there at best) who even makes an "effort" being somewhat Conservative in its legislation and attemtps ever so slightly to keep Bush and other libs in check for their "moderate" policies and proposals.
I hope somebody has some sort of a backup plan for splitting the country up in case the stinking rats actually win. I mean, at this juncture, you couldn't just hand the country over to them even if they DID win; that would be like handing the keys to the assylum straight over to the fricking lunatics.
That was an immortal stain on a dress, a country and a presidency.
BUMP
That part of the Dim's plan is also problematic. There simply isn't time to impeach the President, then swear in Cheney and impeach him, then campaign for 2008 and after all, we all know it's all about them staying in power. If they don't have time to campaign for office, nothing else really matters in the mind of a politico......
Book it fly. In fact, I got my mail-in ballot yesterday, so I may vote tonight. Great post btw.
Sorry, friend, but now you just Pissed me off.
Let me tell you something, I guess you are too young (or stupid) to remember the results of a RAT-Controlled Congress in the 60's and 70's?
I am NOT.
Moreover, the reason I am "wringing my hands" is that I left behind some good friends (and quite a few acquaintances) in South Vietnam who I had worked with for 18 months.
I know for a fact, that many of them did NOT survive the "occupation" by North Vietnam and it not only saddens me, but make me highly agitated to think that this same scenario COULD easily happen again--regardless of those like yourself who are unwilling to believe that History can--and does--repeat itself.
If one accepts the blood bath and horrors which followed our "bug out" from S. Vietnam as a result of the actions brought on by the (then) RAT-controlled Congress then why is it not feasible (ney, very possible) for the same to occur with regards to Afganistan and Iraq?
One must remember that today, those who wish us harm are much more dangerous than those who were in power back then.
While many who would follow such a course of action would do it simply to get even with W and the Pubes, there are far too many whose intentions are pure EVIL and wish nothing more than to see us completely destroyed.
Do we want to even chance their being given that opportunity?
Have another glass of Kool Aid and give me a break!!!!
There isn't enough time between January '07 and the start of the '08 campaigning.
I think you've got a conservative case of BDS (as do many conservatives in America). Bush has his faults but he lowered taxes (not conservative?) and invaded Iraq. The invasion of Iraq, in my opinion, was a genius move, and was HIS genius move.
As for his reaction to an actual impeachment, don't kid yourself. Bush is not a wimp. The only problem is, the advisors who surround him. Under the pressure of impeachment, I think he will decide, in his last two years, facing the unlikely but possible prospect of actually getting removed from office, to shit-can those advisors.
Under the pressure of impeachment, I predict that President Bush will surprise even you.
