Wow, best summary of the argument against the Dubai Port company I've heard. To me personally, it just seems like such a laughable offense for everybody to care about compared to everything else Bush and his friends have screwed up. So I don't see what the big deal really is (Yeah, of course its a bad idea, but far from the worst thing they've done...), but on the other hand if John Q. Normal wants to be pissed off about it I'm happy to enable them. Saying the UAE was more involved in 9/11 than Saddam is just a brilliant summary of how facacta the whole situation is. Kudos.

Let the Senate hear the evidence? The Senate IS the evidence. To cover their asses, they have to cover Bush's ass. Get it? We have not recourse against a one party government. It is virtually UNENCUMBERED by any law. Who's going to arrest anyone in the Senate or the WH? There is no defense against this administration. I predict that the United States of America will deploy battlefield nuclear weapons before Bush's term ends. Face it, WE ARE THE TERRORISTS NOW.

I wish the world was as simple to understand as this article would have us believe. First of all, impeaching Bush, even if successful with a Republican congress, would leave us with President Cheney. The real problem is the entire apparatus, from Karl Rove to the Republican congress to the supreme court and Fox news, on down. The stink of corruption and rampant cronyism extends throughout this administration and the people actually in charge would not change if an impeachment were held. Secondly, I have great respect for a number of Democrats who have spoken out against this misbegotten war and corruption, in the face of biased media covererage, or no media coverage, and the most viscious attack machine ever assembled (thank you, Karl Rove), so it's really disingenuous to belittle them as you do in this piece. What really needs to happen is to vote in a Democratic majority in congress this year so that hearings and investigation of any sort can be held. I feel this would break the disinformation stanglehold the Bush administration seems to have on the mainstream media who do not investigate things themselves, but merely take whatever talking points given to them and pass it on to middle America.

Bush and Cheney are in full self-destruct mode. The Republican Party has followed them down the garden path much further than they should have. Let's let them finish the job, without the bitterness and division that an impeachment trial will bring about. Being a libertarian I like a couple of things that Bush is doing-like HSA's, and elimination of defined benefit retirement plans, and the destruction of the educational establishment. The Democrats are not yet ready to give up their love of socialistic solutions, but they might be by 2008. The war was instigated to further enrich Bush's family, his Texas oligarch friends, and the Saudis who bankroll the Bush family. Let's let that scenario become become common knowledge even among die-hard Republicans without short-circuiting it with impeachment.

Do we really want to start impeaching every sitting president? seems like a bad prescedent to set. I'm very anti-Bush, but i think in the long term, it erodes the crediblity of the whole system, the whole government, if we start impeaching everyone. Impeachment is, in the case of Clinton and Bush, the coward's way out -- when nothing else works, try to impeach.

It's a lot more credible to win elections, wink wink, nudge nudge.

Articles like this are so depressing to me. Because as citizens, we have very little say in what goes on. Impeach Bush? Yeah, I'd love to. Think my congresspeople are going to support that? Dianne Feinstein??? Do you think she listens to her consitutents? She certainy didn't care about our input on her anti-first amendment, pander to people who will NEVER vote for her flag burning legislation. Her only concern is getting re-elected (and she'll be doing it without MY vote).

How about, impeach Bush, impeach Cheney, and cast the entire congress out into the street to start over with new people who haven't (yet) been corrupted by the corporations who are really running our country.

Preaching to the choir will get us nowhere. What about those hapless jerks that voted him in? What about the bigger jerks that couldn't stand him but didn't even bother to vote? We deserve what we got because we've allowed creeps like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity to equate liberals with the likes of child molesters. And how do we get of this? Just keep whining like a business owner who thinks he pays too much in school taxes and then complains there's no qualified applicants to hire. That should get us real far [sic].

Great article, Garrison. Don't think the Repubs will initiate an impeachment, and will have to wait for the Dems to return to power, WHICH AIN"T GONNA HAPPEN UNLESS WE FIX THE ELECTION SYSTEM in this Country!!! The Dems should be pushing their bills to fix the problems created by HAVA, the law that was supposed to fix the "hanging chad" problems of the 2000 election. The biggest problem of all? Electronic voting WITH NO PAPER TRAIL! This is a problem that simply has to be addressed now, before the fall elections. There are may other problems with Elections that the Carter Commission reported on last fall, but, at minimum, we need to fix the paper trail problem immediately! Each voter should get a paper ballot showing his or her selections BEFORE the vote is accepted, and the paper ballots should be used in any recount.

Those who are concerned that impeaching and removing President Bush from office will have results worse than his remaining in office may have a good point.

Consider, however, that if Congress has the cojones to demonstrate that it is an equal branch of Government, not a lackey or rubber stamp for the Executive Branch, then any successor must recognbize that fact and act accordingly.
