What should have been invetigated was Algore's transparent attempt to steal the election.

As we enter the eighth year of the Bush-Cheney administration, I have belatedly and painfully concluded that the only honorable course for me is to urge the impeachment of the president and the vice president.
After the 1972 presidential election, I stood clear of calls to impeach President Richard M. Nixon for his misconduct during the campaign. I thought that my joining the impeachment effort would be seen as an expression of personal vengeance toward the president who had defeated me.
Today I have made a different choice.
Of course, there seems to be little bipartisan support for impeachment. The political scene is marked by narrow and sometimes superficial partisanship, especially among Republicans, and a lack of courage and statesmanship on the part of too many Democratic politicians. So the chances of a bipartisan impeachment and conviction are not promising.
But what are the facts?
Bush and Cheney are clearly guilty of numerous impeachable offenses. They have repeatedly violated the Constitution. They have transgressed national and international law. They have lied to the American people time after time. Their conduct and their barbaric policies have reduced our beloved country to a historic low in the eyes of people around the world. These are truly "high crimes and misdemeanors," to use the constitutional standard.
From the beginning, the Bush-Cheney team's assumption of power was the product of questionable elections that probably should have been officially challenged -- perhaps even by a congressional investigation.
In a more fundamental sense, American democracy has been derailed throughout the Bush-Cheney regime. The dominant commitment of the administration has been a murderous, illegal, nonsensical war against Iraq. That irresponsible venture has killed almost 4,000 Americans, left many times that number mentally or physically crippled, claimed the lives of an estimated 600,000 Iraqis...

Oops! Should’ve included a projectile vomiting alert...
George McGovern died many years ago, no matter how much he protests.
“They have repeatedly violated the Constitution” such as???
Love the blaket statement with no facts.
I call for the imprisonment and the waterboarding of George McGovern. He has violated the constitution, waged a barbaric war against americans and he smells like cabbage.
More facts in mine than his. He really smells like cabbage or maybe oatmeal...
I thought he was dead and here he comes crawling out of his grave just as stupid as ever.
Well that’s it, President Bush will never get re-elected now.
The subtitle was “interesting” too: “Nixon was bad. These guys are worse.”
McSenator is responsible for the democrat party requiring its delegates be chosen based upon the highest level of achievement (by birth) - their color or their sex. No wonder the democrat party is a collection of special interest groups with a propensity to whine and complain.
Especially after I lost in the largest landslide victory for the opponent in the history of the Republic...
Maybe they could comfort and console each other through the next 12 months? Maybe McGovern has some killer rabbit repellent?
In the last year we have seen 300 Congressional Investigations yet not one single ethic or criminal complaint lodged.
Rabid hate for the occupant of the White House is not sufficient ground for Impeachment.
Oh gosh, if “Tank Commander” Dukakis comes out for “impeachment” along with that important powerhouse McGovern, then Bush is in real trouble “with a capital “T”. Right here in River City!
What say ya provide just ONE example, hmmm?
GEORGE MCGOVERN?
PARDON ME... BUT WHO GIVES A CARE ABOUT GEORGE MCGOVERN IN TOTAL OR IN PART? JOKES DON’T CHANGE... JUST BECOME OLD.
I know,,,I know,,,,it was a long time ago, he was very young, naive and innocent (almost 30),,,
and it was after he worked for Bobby Kennedy,,,
and long before he supported the far-left, liberal Marxist Mario Cuomo over the Republican candidate (because the Pataki wanted to cut taxes too much),,,
and it was well before he distanced himself from Ronald Regan while running for mayor.
Stupid, failed, panty-waist barking at the moon. Another Jimmy Carter-like idiot!!! Please move to Canada, you MORON!!!
