Are Dems NOT Impeaching so Hillary and Obama can run in '08?

Is is possible that the Democratic Party has decided NOT to impeach Bush/indict Cheney/inaugurate Pelosi because Hillary wants to run in a race in 2008 with no incumbent?

It seems to me like an incumbent Pelosi would be an awesome way to go into the 2008 election.

Has this possibility ever been discussed?

Hillary is meeting the competition head on and SMASHING them into oblivion.

When it's that close, we "lose".

Our viable candidates are Al Gore, Al Gore and Al Gore. I just hope he realizes that in time.

And no, Hillary is not behind that "decision."

that's not why.

2006--2008 is only 2 years. With what was promised in
the last election this just about gives the House and
Senate that much time. Already the country is angry
and disgusted.

No matter how one feels about impeachment, the country
would be ready to "kill us all" if we took off on
something like that. The country sees a whole lot
of trouble mounting in this country. It is important
to them that some things get accomplished. They can
be made as H at GWB but do not want the spectacle
and time wasted trying to impeach the president.
They figure he will soon be gone. Stopping everything
to try to impeach the President is no winner for
Democrats.

You would be much better off going after Republicans
and tying him to them. They have not made a serious
attempt to stop him. They will be here when he is long
gone because the Democrats on the Hill and the Activists
are sitting idly by while waiting for the Republicans
to pull away from him. They will go scotfree once again
and win the next election. They should be held accountable
daily for continuuing to rubberstamp his decisions.

The country has given up on GWB. Some here would do
well to do the same and hold Republicans accountable.

Hatred Blinds judgement and one loses every time.

I can understand the frustration, but the Democrats must
have larger Margins in House and Senate to even consider
such a move. Furthermore, I repeat it would cause the
Democrats to loose the slight majority they have.

Also the majority of Americans don't generally like impeachments.

They don't impeach because the majority of them are lazy cowards.

They are more afraid of Bush, and more concerned about Israel, than they are about the US Constitution and the Republic.

How many times do you need to hear the same civics lesson?

The votes aren't there to Impeach Bush.

You're forgeting a few very important things.

-The repukes would never allow us to kick out both Cheney and Bush at the same time. They'd get Cheney to quit first and replace him with someone else who hadn't commited any impeachable offences so that they'd keep the whitehouse until the 08 elections.

-We'd need Repuke support to kick out Bush. If we didn't have it then first the repukes would filibuster any attempt by the house to start the impeachment, and would vote against it in the senate.

-If we handle starting up impeachment and the impeachment charges the wrong way it could backfire and help the repukes. (For example I recall reading a while ago that a lot of people wanted to impeach Bush for vetoing the war spending bill with a timetable for withdrawal, a perfectly legal thing well within Bush's power as president to do. Charge Bush with stuff like corruption and violating international law by invading Iraq instead).

That said though, I'm all for impeaching and kicking out Bush. We'd set a bad example of how you can get away with blantently violating the law like Bush, and would allow people to paint a nice rosy picture of Bush's reign by not having to talk about him being impeached for high crimes he commited.
