Default Bush/Blair Impeachments - 01-26-2006, 07:54 PM

I've heard this word thrown around quite a bit lately both in the US and the UK. I would love to see it happen, but realistically I doubt either will be impeached.

It all has to do with the media. The media pushed for Clintons impeachment, while public opinion was only around 38% for impeachment. Now, polls have put the number at around 49% to 51% support for impeachment of Bush, but the media doesn't talk about it because their controlled. Thus no one gets impeached.

Personally, to me they should both go to jail.

Saddam Huessin called for Bush and Blair to be brought before the Hague, saying that they committed genocide using cluster bombs, napalm in the war in Iraq...this was today as well..

Nyck, I don't think you have a good presence in the politics fourm..maybe if you start posting serious remarks people may take you as somebody who has something intelligent to say.

Just my opinion, but if you want to keep going the way you are now..don't let me stop you.

impeach bush for what ? being a stupid ass, who makes our country look like a pack of bumbling idiots isnt enough to have him removed from office.

ps: the more i see him avoiding questions, and making an ass out of himself everytime he makes a public appearance, the more i feel embarassed to have him representing the united states.

ive been thinking about it and i cant decided whether or not hes just too uninformed to articulate himself, too ignorant, or if he just sucks at public speaking. if any of the above are true, then how the hell did he make it into public office.

i can hardly stand to see him speak because im so fuking embarassed of him.

We should Impeach Truman for dropping bombs on japan.

Other reasons
1. Bush lied to Congress and the American public about the reasons for invading Iraq.(which was given to him by his intelligence agency, Bush did not sit in his office and google search and color in a map, again I go back to him finishing a job that should have been done in 1992 in capturing and removing sadaam from power for invading another country and killing his own people with chemical weapons. The same reason for war on Nazi, Germany. He did however go about it all wrong and is catching shit for it now.)
2. Bush conducted illegal wiretaps of American citizens. (Guess what, I'm pretty sure EVERY Gov't spies on its citizens, I have nothing to hide, listen in all you want)
3. Bush violated International Law by invading a sovereign country for illegal purposes.(look at point #1)
4. Bush violated the Geneva Convention by torturing prisoners of war.(George bush did not tourture prisoners. The only act of torture was as a result of dumb ass US Soilder at a prison camp. They are the individuals that should be taken care of.)
5. Bush was negligent in his slow response to American suffering caused by Hurricane Katrina.(moving on.... oOo: )
6. The 2001 terrorist incidents known as "9/11" for September 11, 2001.
(yea lets impeach him because some nutjobs Hijacked planes 8 months into his presidential campaign.)
7. Plame affair
(impeach the president because Robert Novak blew Plames cover in a newspaper)

I never voted for bush, I dont support many of his plans, his term is up in 3 years and then we move on.

his goals are commendable, his motives however were very ill planned. This can be put on the administration in whole.

An impeachment will never fly even if it is brought up.

You can't impeach someone because you have an opinion that he has done something wrong. There are very good arguments for the other side of everything you all have said (whether you want to admit it or not).

well, he did blatantly break a law by lying under oath. I'm not sure if that is a type of crime that warrants impeachment, but I beleive he did commit a crime.
