The impeachment will end in aquittal anyway.

First, Leiberman will not vote for Impeachment, and neither will Ben Nelson.

Second, you need 2/3rds majority in the senate for impeachment, and there is no way any republican (except maybe Chafee, who could be toast) would vote for it.

The real problem is 2 years of investigations sapping the strength of the war effort.

Right. But I believe that a large portion of the liberal base believes that this is finally the chance to get Bush. They hate him, and they will demand that he's impeached if Nancy Pelosi becomes Speaker. Or else all their money disappears in 2008. Anyway I'm tired of these lunatics, I want to crush their spirit. Their allies in the media have tried to depress republican turnout, now it's time to return the favor.

Actually, you need 2/3 in the senate for conviction and removal. Impeachment occurs in the house and only needs a majority vote.

Lieberman and/or Nelson have nothing to do with "impeachment". Impeachment is done in the House. The Senate conducts the trial. Which is why Clinton WAS impeached, but not convicted.
