So when nobody wants their president we are supposed to be able to impeach him right?
Bill Clinton lied about a [you know] and had a hearing. Everyone knows it should be done. If you don’t, watch this if you haven’t already:
Why can’t the people demand a hearing? Is it a conspiracy? Have George Bush and Dick Cheney become a threat to our national security?
Presidential Oath
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

The day good Americans can’t peacefully discus their elected officials is the day they have become a threat. Impeachment is a perfectly lawful practice and we have every right to discuss it.
We basically invented freedom speech and if you actually watched that video, people like us are being put on lists and harassed for merely inquiring about our politicians. I don’t care what list they want to put me on. I’ve done nothing wrong and if they want to make a mortar out of concerned citizen they can go right ahead. I’m not burning flags, I’m not out in the street pumping my fist, I’m asking questions on ATS.
People feel like they aren’t even allowed to say anything real about politics anymore, and THAT is detrimental to the system. Reporters can’t freely report. People can’t ask questions without getting skittish on ATS. If people feel threatened by merely asking questions, then why aren’t they a threat? It’s a rational question.

Did he preserve and protect the constitution? Has he done any of that? He didn't even win the election where we supposedly get to make our decision. We made our decision, and it wasn't Bush/Cheney.

What would you consider to be a 'real statement' about politics? Expressions of free-floating rage ("IMPEACH WARMONGER BUSH NOW", "BUSH LIED AND PEOPLE DIED", and "KILL THE SONS OF BLEEPS!")
I'd also like to point out a key word in your statement: "Peacefully". Promoting or condoning murder, even in jest, is somewhat over the line of 'peaceful discourse'.

How about “WE COULD IMPEACH BUSH, WE HAVE TERMS”

That’s what bothers me. Who cares? I’m not a terrorist.

What bothers you? The fact that threats of violence aren't considered 'protected speech'? Your syntax is confusing me again. I also don't recall labeling you (or anyone else, for that matter) a terrorist. Where in the name of John Jay did that come from?
That you twisted the word "peaceful"
