It's just that today, we saw pictures of him being obviously inebriated.

The visual is quite riveting.

I saw the entire video of his appearance and he certainly was not drunk. Attack him on the things that matter, not on juvenile made up nonsense.

was not drunk. I'm not even sure it is early on-set of dementia, but I did notice the coke jaw during some of his jokes.

that I just look at BUsh* as a pathetic fool who knows, deep down, that he was worthy of all the mockery. But, Cheney, incites a white hot anger that has not dimmed.

That's not to say, I'd not gladly send Bush* to the Hague as well--just that Cheney and many of Cheney's henchmen facing war crimes would be far more satisfying.

so maybe you are thinking of another board you post at?

Folks on DU did not support Bush and his shenanigans. This is a message board for democrats.

Have you read the terms of service? http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=termsofservice

not supporting Bush and his shenanigans and demanding impeachment are not all the same thing.

due to your assumptions?

being a Democrat

not supporting Bush and his shenanigans

and demanding impeachment

are not all the same thing.

but I'd be surprised if many democrats on DU supported Bush. In fact I'll call for a show of hands. Anyone want to come to Bush's defense here? Do speak up.

and no one said anything about democrats on DU supporting or defending Bush. The question was about impeachment. Thank you.

did you want us to impeach him right here on this website? So far not one person other than you has come to Bush's defense.

I responded to the OP and you started in with me. And many, many posts later you still haven't given me any clue as to why you are defending Bush.

But that's ok, I think we know where we both stand on this issue.

The only thing we can really do is to keep telling the truth about the turd and not allow the slimeballs to change history like they did with Reagan.

I've resigned myself to the fact that nothing will be done and Bush will live the rest of his days a free man. The only thing we can really do now is to keep telling the truth about the asshole and not allow them to lie and change history like they did with Reagan.

I gave up on seeing bush held accountable long ago. Obama is looking forward and the DOJ has no interest in a serious investigation. Hell, the current administration has embraced a lot of what we were appalled at 4 years ago. I am able to simultaneously ridicule the wastoid war criminal and hope for justice.

has committed. And we the people go along with it, especially when "our guy" is one; we accept being lied to by our leaders as normal.
