Bush/Cheney impeachment resolution passes at lawyers convention

The only crime here is G.W. Bush being bombarded with endless useless congressional non-binding resolutions, congressional inquires/investigations, they are looking for something that is not there. G.W. Bush is not a criminal and it's time this nonsense stopped.

George Bush broke the Geneva convention., he profits from the war , he has his share , everythime he starts a war he just makes money off of it, what else..ohh yes, his grandfather was a natzi, his grand grand father was also a natzi, like family like father like son..it run runs in the family, he broke the rules by taping the phone lines, he lied about the WMD,no such thing found, alot more people died in IRAQ under his call than under saddam, I can practicly go all day long talking about GB

Ya know...

The funny thing about this is that way back when, I predicted that Bush would likely be impeached, but only towards the end of his second term. That way, no matter who comes into office, they'll seem like a hero.

It's the perfect sideshow spectacle to distract the masses from the fact that it's all the same damned thing, that both parties serve the same masters... the all mighty dollar and those who have the most.

I feel kinda bad for Bush. He's first amongst slaves, a powerless puppet, and the world's most convenient punching bag all for the wishes of Private Interests.

November 13, 2007 - Impeachment

A total of 64% of American voters say that President George W. Bush has abused his powers as president. Of the 64%, 14% (9% of all voters) say the abuses are not serious enough to warrant impeachment, 33% (21% of all voters) say the abuses rise to the level of impeachable offenses, but he should not be impeached, and 53% (34% of all voters) say the abuses rise to the level of impeachable offenses and Mr. Bush should be impeached and removed from office.

ARG

Well, if the people still have any say, he should be impeached, and Cheney with him.

Amen, MTABP.

And whoever would have thought a bunch of lawyers would be the ones to have the spine? Good on them, I say.

clinton is so last week

As long as Clinton is alive he will never be last week.

Like Bush/Cheney want to catch their greatest asset, the perfect fall guy for their master's assault on our Constitution, eh?

Right, I bet you think Bush and Cheney have tea with UBL in the oval office each and every Friday huh?

Oh, you must be talking about the Bush/Cheney Afghani, Iraqi, Pakistani, debacles, right?

Not sure how you think these are debacles

Not to mention, their upcoming "greatest hit," the nukin' of the Iranian "threat."

Throughout the 1930s, Churchill's warnings against appeasement had grown more persistent and less effective. As the heads of Parliament veered away from traditional British military preparedness, appeasement policy became the new focus of the leading politicians. Churchill realized it was time that Britain look at its defenses, but Chamberlain, firmly convinced that there was not going to be a war, had no need for armed forces.

The appeasers, led by Chamberlain, seemed totally unaware that Hitler's plans, blueprinted in Mien Kampf, were now emerging in frightening reality. The appeasers sat idle in their ignorant hope that Hitler would eventually stop. What they did not understand was that Hitler's aim was world domination, and that standing idle and watching would not help stop him. Churchill was basically alone in his stand against appeasement.
"One pound was demanded at the pistol's point. When it was given, two pounds were demanded at the pistol's point. Finally, the dictator consented to take one pound, 17 shillings and sixpence, and the rest in promises of good will for the future."

Churchill made this remark while speaking to the House after the Munich Agreement had been signed and Germany was allowed to take the Sudetenland from Czechoslovakia. For Churchill, this was the last straw. He understood that Hitler pushed Chamberlain around in the conference and the land given to Hitler from Czechoslovakia could have easily remained Nazi free with a little allied support.

Hitler's aggressive and unchecked actions led Churchill to say, "There can never be absolute certainty that there will be a fight if one side is determined that it will give way completely.[I] always held the view that the maintenance of peace depends upon the accumulation of deterrents against the aggressor"

Chamberlain's relentless drive for peace in Europe made him weak. Instead of keeping Hitler in line, he basically gave him anything he wanted, even offering colonies in Africa (although Hitler refused to take them) in order to keep "standing" peace in Europe. Instead of creating peace, appeasement encouraged war: if Hitler was never challenged in his aggression, why would he stop aggressing?

It all fell down on Chamberlain's head when Hitler's true side shown through as he had, in Churchill's words, "broken every tie of good faith with the British and French who tried so hard to believe in him." It was now 1939 and Hitler had given the leaders of Czechoslovakia an ultimatum: Either surrender your country or it will be destroyed.

The leaders of Czechoslovakia capitulated and Hitler's power in Central Europe grew much greater with this new landmass. This action marked the end of the appeasement movement in England. It was all flipped around as Churchill became more and more popular and Chamberlain's popularity fell.

Finally in 1940, the prime minister gave in and finally, after six years of warning from Churchill, began war preparations. Churchill was appointed First Lord of the Admiralty. Here he gained tremendous popularity and his words strengthened the nerves of the British people. On May 10, Neville Chamberlain resigned and advised the king to call upon Churchill. Winston Churchill had become the Prime Minister of England.

It's precisely the crimes committed by NeoCon "Christian Radicals," Bush/Cheney, that drive "Islamic Radicals" to want to kill them.

Nope the Koran tells them to kill the infidels.

I was going to reply to your obvious party-line humping with point-by-point rebuttals but then you said this:

It's not that the dems are going after Bush because of Clinton it is the fact he has out smarted them at every turn.

If you honestly believe that it is clear to me that you are beyond reason.

Why is it the Republicans are incapable of getting over Clinton? Whenever someone points out the obvious illegal activity of this administration (the Bush Administration) all we receive in response is "quit trying to get even for Clinton."

Are you SERIOUS?!? Throwing the specter of a president impeached for lying about a blow job in our faces is in no way going to confuse anyone into forgetting about all the crimes committed by BushCO so conveniently bullet-pointed in the NLG document. You think if you talk in circles we'll get dizzy and fall down? You may be victim to that kind of confusion but many of us aren't.

reply to post by centurion1211

So, one of you finally admits that this is more about getting even for what was done to clinton than anything else. Thanks for your honesty.

How about you admit that its the Republicans who are incapable of getting over Clinton? I mean, I know it must have hurt when you couldn't get him removed from office but dude, at least you got your day in court.

Refusing to discuss the issues and instead trying to confuse people with your rhetoric is disingenuous. If you're willing to turn a blind-eye to all the crimes committed against you, give up your freedoms and curl-up on your couch with American Idol you don't deserve to be an American.

Also, your argument about what impeachment would "do to America" is completely irrelevant. What impeachment would do to America pales in comparison to what BushCo is doing to this country right now.

No, it doesn't. You've obviously never read the Koran. It is also disingenuous to try and discuss American foreign policy with regard to the Middle East without taking into account the history of our country's actions in the Middle East.

After reading the two posts below yours by jadephoenix, it appears that it is you that has never read the koran. So, why post like you know something about it?

"Believers, do not make friends with any but your own people. They will spare no pains to corrupt you. They desire nothing but your ruin. Their hatred is evident from what they utter with their mouths, but greater is the hatred which their breasts conceal" (3:118).

"Believers, if you yield to the infidels they will drag you back to unbelief and you will return headlong to perdition. . . .We will put terror into the hearts of the unbelievers. . . . The Fire shall be their home" (3:149-51).

Oh and BTW. For the 10,000 time, clinton got his impeachment for lying to a grand jury and you could also say the rest of us (you, too).

Oh and BTW. For the 10,000 time, that is exactly what purgory means. Maybe you should educate yourself before feeling the need to try and be sarcastic.

Did you mean "perjury" when you wrote "purgory"? Yes, clinton was impeached for committing perjury - lying to a grand jury (and all the rest of us).

Now who needs to be educated?

And I like the previous poster's answer to the ridiculous "nobody died under clinton" assertion. The answer to that is that clinton lacked the cojones to do anything (or they were in use by monica at the time), so he left the dying by Americans to mostly happen during the next administration by refusing to take care of bin laden when he had the chance. That of course doesn't include the Americans that died inthe first World Trade Center bombing, or the USS Cole bombing, or the embassy bombings - all during the clinton administrations.

Yes, let's bring out everything Clinton has done to deflect off of Bush.

Let's try and keep this discussion to Bush and quit deflecting to previous admins please.

Did I spell anything wrong centurion?

reply to post by Griff

I'm sorry am I not following the bash Bush thread, I'm just offering the other side of the argument, but then again Libs don't want to hear the other side. I could always take about Jimmy Carter, now that was a true joke of an administration.

Why is it always Libs vs. Conservs with you guys? Jeesh. I already said I'm neither. So, your argument about the Libs doesn't phase me. Try again. And let's stay on topic please. Which is Bush/Cheney and NOT Clinton. Thanks.

There is way more at stake for this country (and world) than getting even for Clinton or whatever your true agenda is.

I never mentioned Clinton and Clinton is not my agenda.
My agenda is justice. Justice for a people who have been
wronged by their leaders. This has nothing to do with Clinton

It is about right and wrong

Your wrong, it has everything to do with Clinton and the lefts love affair with that criminal family and wanting Socialism. Clinton has more to do with the way this country is right now then Bush. What you are seeing, is a direct result of Clintons Brothel Term in the White House.
