[Checkers]

Suck on that crack pipe, baby!

[Perdogg]

I though she meant Impeach Reggie Bush.

[Rodney Kings Brain]

Damn these whining lefties are sore losers. First of all GW "stole" not one but two elections and now they want to impeach him when he hasn't broken the law. I am surprised they haven't tried to impeach the Diebold voting machines that keep not counting Dem. votes.

[marvlus]

Failure to impeach Bush would condone his actions.

I condone, I condone!!

[darkwing104]

Could this be a case of Obsessive/Compulsive behavior?

[twonie]

Hard to believe someone as twisted and warped as this one can get space in a publication. A deviational curse upon her and the horse she rode in on.

[dirtboy]

His impeachable offenses include using lies and deceptions to drive the country into war in Iraq,

Guess we need to remove from office all the Democrats who also said intel showed Saddam had WMDs, except for the fact that none of them were lying - so neither was Bush.

deliberately and repeatedly violating the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) on wiretapping in the United States,

Except that Bush didn't.

and facilitating the mistreatment of US detainees in violation of the Geneva Conventions and the War Crimes Act of 1996.

Except that the Geneva Conventions don't apply to the thugs held at Gitmo - those are for uniformed combatants from signatory nations.

Three strikes and you're out, Liz. Ya gotta bring a better game than that.

[unkus]

Liberalism is a progressive (no pun intended) disease.

Don't. drink. the. blong. water. Elizabeth.

[Steel Wolf]

The Case in Favor? Two words:

Dick Cheney.

[television is just wrong]

The ONLY issue I am upset about with Bush is the one on Illegal Immigration.

[grandpa jones]

Bong. water. sheesh

[HOTTIEBOY]

I called for a list of American citizens that Bush has spied on.

I am still waiting......

President's failure to discharge his constitutional duty to help the people of New Orleans.
I must have missed that part?
Is this a new amendment that slipped through?

[Robert A Cook PE]

President's failure to discharge his constitutional duty to help the people of New Orleans.
I must have missed that part?
Is this a new amendment that slipped through?

Ah guess them there 14 billion dollars of federal money that were (unconstitutionally!) sent directly to New Orleans (what - are Mississippi and Alabama and upstate LA legally ignored?) don't count as helping New Orleans.

[lepton]

The Supreme Court ruled that the Geneva Conventions apply to the treatment of detainees,

1) Even though it explicitly states that it doesn't; and
2) Even though the jurisdiction for the case was specifically removed from them, which they acknowledged and ruled anyways.

and a federal judge ruled that the President could not legally ignore FISA.

...And the FISA court ruled that he wasn't doing so.

[Ouderkirk]

Lizzie baby,

You are dilusional, Bush is not Nixon, and it's not 1974.

Madame, you are nothing but a common criminal. Your dealings with Fleet bank have resulted accusations about unethical behavior and special treatment for loans that you recieved from them.

Good luck with that impeachment thing. You're going to need it.

[popdonnelly]

Holtzmann is having flashbacks. Old radiclib Dems in Fantasyland.

[backtothestreets]

I heard Rosie O'Donnell saying the same the day after the SOTU address. Absolute garbage. These people are building their case of falsehood against President Bush with false statements. Rubbish!

I'm not a fan of GWB, but I'm impartial enough to recognize nothing has been put forth that would be grounds for impeachment proceedings. The advocates of impeachment intend to bring the entire government, not just the president, to its knees.

Since the Nixon years, impeachment has become all too often floated as a viable political tool in partisan politics. Forget it. Impeachment should only be considered when the high crime or misdemeanor is committed against the nation. I've seen no such acts committed by President Bush.
