When my friend Salli Martyniak heard that Nancy Pelosi would be featured on the CBS news program "60 Minutes," she got excited. Like a lot of professional women who have been turned into political activists by six years of Bush-Cheney-ism, Martyniak busied herself during the recently completed election campaign doing everything she could to end Republican control of the House. She put the right campaign signs in her yard, she hosted fundraising events, and she knocked on doors and made calls on behalf of the campaign to change the Congress. And she lit up at the prospect of the first female speaker of the House.
But when Pelosi's segment aired on "60 Minutes" three Sundays before the election, Martyniak said, "I was shouting at the television. How could she say that? How could she so miss the point of being an opposition leader?"
What was it that so infuriated my friend and millions of other Americans who want this election to be about holding an out-of-control presidency to account?

I agree. And I hope that the DemonRats won't do it, for that very reason.
With all the hearings and investigations most likely coming up during her lovely reign, are they calling her:
'Queen Subpoena'?

And they are doing their best to do so....
If it gets in the way of Bush's fevered wish to sign an amnesty-and-3rd-world-migration-explosion bill, then I welcome impeachment.
Wrongo..they'd go after Cheney next
I think the problem started back in 1998. The House knew that the Senate would not really take BJ's impeachment seriously. Then the press helped the Clintonistas convince everyone that impeachment was just a political ploy. The 'Rats are bound and determined to impeach someone (either Bush or the next GOP president), just to pay us back.
Are you kidding?
They'll just figure out some insanely crazy way to "include" Cheney.
The media will be in total support of whatever totally illegal plan they come up with.
Start documenting everything for her Impeachment. Then we need to start some type Citizens Class Action Lawsuit against them for Endangering National Security and the Security of the American People.
EVIDENCE
The dims don't need no stinking evidence.
There's no evidence now to back up any of the claims against Bush now.
Why would that change?
I still haven't figured out why they want to impeach Bush.
Oh, I forgot; no one dare cross the impeached Clinton. Sorry, Bubba; we all have your number. You and the Missus should be sitting in prison for all the crimes you have committed.
She may have a very hard two years with some of those dems she has to "lead". I think she might wish she did not have the position in about a couple months after January.
"Impeach him by all means and I hope all the conservative republican senators then vote to convict because we will have a President Cheney for the remainder of this term. That is why the democrats dare not impeach him."
Then again, if Bush AND Cheney get sucessfully impeached, you will have President Pelosi for the remainder.
Real republicans and there are at least 34 will block the conviction and removal of Cheney, not to worry
They can impeach Cheney or Bush to hell but there is no way either can be removed without conservative republicans agreeing to same. It takes 67 votes in the senate to remove the president or vice president. No way, Jose. Unless, of course, the conservatives may wish to remove one or the other and no sane conservative would vote to remove Dick Cheney, about the only conservative left in the upper eschelons of this administration.
The first person we call to testify: Slick Willie.
It takes just over 50% of the vote in the House to impeach, but it takes over two thirds in the Senate to convict. This is extremely difficult to pull off, and an impeachment that is purely political risks a major voter backlash.
Actually, I wouldn't mind seeing this at all. There's no way that they could get Bush removed from office, and it would distract them from doing everything they can to screw America over the next two years.
You have to understand that Nichols is the editor of The Madison Capitol-Times which proudly states on the front page that it is Wisconsin's Progressive Newspaper. He is an out and out socialist. Nichols would like to throw all elected Republicans in jail and ban conservatism. He will not say that, but from his past articles, it's what he most likely thinks.
The Liberals won this election by promising their "base" that they would 1. End the war 2. Impeach Bush 3. End the Bush tax cuts. The base in return gave them millions of dollars and paid for a lot of lawyers to destroy any Republican they could.
Now it is pay up time. So this should be a very interesting 2 years. If the Democrats do as their base wants they will destroy the country. If they don't they will destroy their party. Who will bet which they will choose?
