AH, SPRING. Snow melts, flowers bloom, and a Democrat's fancy turns to thoughts of impeachment.

Seriously. The Impeach Bush movement has made great strides over the last few years, and today impeachment isn't just a looming carnival of the absurd, quacking and clanging about on the horizon--it's a real possibility for 2007.

The effort to impeach the President began in the summer of 2003. Ralph Nader was one of the first to call for it, and he claimed that Rep. John Conyers of Michigan, the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, was moving in the same direction. At the time, Conyers' staff denied it, with one of his senior aides saying, in February 2003, that Conyers "wasn't contemplating anything like that."

Nader was ahead of the curve. Back then, impeachment was the province of cranks. The "movement" was largely driven by Ramsey Clark and Francis Boyle, a professor of law at the University of Illinois who had previously agitated for the impeachment of the first President Bush. Impeachment was so far out of the mainstream that even Lyndon LaRouche disavowed it, claiming it would be "tantamount to treason against the entire human race" (if only because it would leave Dick Cheney in the Oval Office).

I think they are wrong. I think it will motivate a lot of people to vote Democratic.

i think I can hear the collective response now: "So what?".

I thought the article was pretty positive, claiming the Dems would impeach if they win. I think that's pretty optimistic analysis. Which part of this is supposed to make Pukes upset? They seem to hate him too these days, except for the bottom 30% in IQ.

Impeachment is coming. The treasonous, rat bastard broke the law. That is WHY impeachment is coming.

Peace.

Just as long as he's convicted!

I can remember Atlanta (now Air America) radio talk show host Mike Malloy calling for the former Texas governor's impeachment back in 2001, after Bush's legal surrogates and allies in the Supremos crime family prevented votes in Florida from being counted.

That's 2001, morons, not 2003, and decidedly NOT Ralph "It's All About Me!" Nadir... er, Nader.
