A good argument for not impeaching Bush.
It was just a random thought during my taily mouse torture session, but I think it would be a very big mistake to impeach Bush...and maybe bad to attempt to impeach anyone in his cabinet. Two reasons.

1: The whole rally around the flag syndrome will kick in once those evil Democrats start kicking poor George and his playmates around. The people in the Conservative camp who aren't happy with Bush right now would rally to him. We'd also loose a portion of the undecideds based on this alone.

2: If we actually succeeded then we'd have to go against a Republican candidate with no real record that we can attack. Removing Bush allows them to put in a much stronger candidate w/o the liabilities that Bush has.

1. He should be censured along with others in his party.
It is short of impeachment but enough to do political damage.

2. I prefer
winning the election and prosecuting the whole sick cabal afterwards.

5. I'm with you
I don't want a single one of these crooks and lunatics charged with a thing while Bush holds pardon power, or while Cheney or Hastert would be in the line of succession to inherit it.

I can wait a year. Then I want them all charged, hounded, humiliated, beggared, tried, convicted, and thrown into prison.

3. I don't think we have anything to worry about.....
since the repukes control the congress...NONE of them are going to start articles of impeachment. The election is in November and it would take far longer than that to complete an impeachment process. we've gotta get rid of him in November. I sometimes post in disgust that we should get rid of them all *NOW*, but I know that isn't going to happen with an election coming up.

4. 11/2/2004: Referendum on Bush and the whole NeoCon ideology
With impeachment, we just get rid of Bush, by winning the election we get rid of all of them in th executive branch.

6. Bush is going to need all that Secret Service protection in prison
Given that the inmates would want him dead....sorry, but that's what will happen if--and when--Bush ends up where he belongs
