How many people would seriously support Bush's impeachment?

You’re quite right about the grounds for impeachment.  Here is a more complete list of impeachable offenses for which Bush is guilty of:\n\nBush lied to Congress and the American public about the reasons for invading Iraq, conducted illegal wiretaps of American citizens, violated International Law by invading a sovereign country for illegal purposes, violated the Geneva Convention by torturing prisoners of war, held prisoners without formal charges and without legal representation, used government funds for domestic political propaganda, the Bush team used uniformed military personnel for Republican party political purposes, was negligent in his slow response to help victims of Hurricane Katrina, and shows contempt towards our Constitution and our democratic ideals.\n\nI do believe in proceeding with the impeachment process.  Congressman John Conyers and 29 cosponsors have already introduced a bill to form an impeachment panel.\n\nTrue, Bush is just a Cheney puppet, but since so many people feel this administration has done nothing wrong, impeachment might open the eyes of those die hard supporters who doubt the truth.  Cheney would never be able to win a presidential election.   Cheney’s involvement with Halliburton, his health, avoidance of the draft, and his brash, defiant attitude would never survive the scrutiny of a presidential election.\n\nAs for approval ratings, when the approval rating is pro either side’s candidate the party with the highest approval rating acknowledges those results; when the ratings, which are obtained from the exact same sources are negative toward their party, they claim the results are slanted and corrupt.\n\nFor those who aren’t clear on the grounds for impeachment, please go to the link posted below.

Bush is an Idiot for starting the war in the first place. So any cost is too much. Like the lives we are loosing everyday!  Ain't no amount of money gonna replace those losses..Ask yourself this, if Clinton was impeached for sex, how is it that Bush has not been impeached for murder? That is what people think of Bush.. as a murderer, not all but enough to give him the lowest approval rating in History, 30 some % last time I checked.  the over all cost of the war will reach $500 billion, at least, but how many more lives??

655,000 dead Iraq, 3000 Americans dead, many, many more wounded and deformed for the rest of their lives on both sides. All for a war based on George Bush's lies. The American people ought to hold him accountable for his actions. Not to mention torture, secret prisons, not upholding the constitution, a paper that he swore to uphold when he was first appointed to office. He should be impeached and then turned over to the international court in the Hague for trial as  a war criminal. Do not forget that Cheney, and Rumsfield should go right along with him.

As long as the Republicans have 34 seats in the Senate, it won't happen. As the Democrats closed ranks when Clinton was impeached, so the Republicans will do if Bush is impeached. \n\nAlso, why would the Democrats want Bush gone? They stand to win in a landslide in the 06 midterm elections, and take back both the congress and white house in the 08 elections. Bush is the best thing to happen to the Democrats since Clinton.

George Bush has destroyed 3 Countries and is now threatening to destroy Iran. Nobody with any sanity could call this a good President. He is also the only President to invade a Country from the U.S.. That's not anything to be very proud of. I am a American living in America. 80% of America would be happy with his impeachment, and see him land in prison for his crimes. The Congress changes this Fall with Democrats, should start the ball rolling in that direction, I am sure.

Unfortunately, I seriously doubt it. After all, there is still a Republican majority in both houses of Congress, so he's not going to be impeached anytime soon. And I hate to say this, but even if the Democrats were to win back both houses of Congress this year, I doubt they would have the balls to impeach him. \n\nAlso, since he is the leader of the United States, and not some Third World country, it's not as if he would ever be tried in an international court, like the one at the Hague.

It would be hard to impeach Bush because it would have to be approved by the House and the Senate. The majority of congressmen in office are on the Right. This is sort of the same reason why Clinton wasn't impeached. Bush has done an exponential amount of damage compared to Clinton and anyone who says that it was passed on from Clinton must not have seen the U.S. budget over the past 40 yrs.

No, he should not be impeached, he has done nothing that is illegal.  Too bad he has so many fairweather fans, everyone loved him after 9/11, and now....have people forgotten?  \n\nDon't forget that our brave men and women in the armed services are there by choice, not by any type of draft, and to sit home on your computer and whine about what is going on over there is an insult to them all.  It will be interesting to see how Bush is written about in the history books, everyone will probably love him in ten years when we see the good he has done...\n\nI get so tired of all the answers taken directly from "the daily show".....come on people, it's on Comedy Central, and bills itself as the fake news..   Read a paper.\n\n\nand p.s. to the people out there trying to make ends "meat"....maybe if you worked harder and educated yourself, you would be one of the "rich" people.  I certainly am not, working single mom (hate that term), and also going to school---not living off of the government, not expecting a handout...willing to work for what I have.  And you can bet that when I am done and making more money, and paying more income tax, I will deserve a bigger tax break.  It's only fair, right?

President Bush has not been impeached because his party controls the branch of government that does the impeaching. That is the answer, and it is exactly that simple.\n\nIntelligent people on both sides of the aisle can debate whether or not the president should be impeached, but the people whose opinions matter are in congress. \n\nA president would have to act in a significantly egregious manner before his own political party would participate in his impeachment. Even then, an impeachment is unlikely.\n\nThe Bill Clinton impeachment is an accurate and recent example of the process. A Democratic party controlled House of Representatives would never have impeached him, but a Republican House did. The Democrats did have enough members in the Senate to block Clinton's removal, so that is what happened.\n\nWho was correct? The answer is not particularly relevant to this question. The fact that both sides tend to stick to the party line is the main relevant factor.\n\nIf the Democrats gained control of the House in the 2006 elections, an impeachment attempt would be highly likely.

I think it's all relative to perception.  Just the suggestion of impeaching President Bush has been suggested even before he got in office so that is nothing new.  Most people know you cannot impeach without just cause but, anger unchecked doesn't care about process.  They are going for the mob mentality.  This is the idea that just the suggestion of impeachment by enough influential people can bring it about.

First off thank you very much for telling the truth on here.  Bush is a great president and there is no reason to impeach him.  Liberals are so unhappy that there is no decent liberal cadidate for president they have to rip apart ours in any way possible, sad huh.  It is worth it for the libs to lie about our country so it looks bad making our president look bad, pathetic.

See, that's what I'm saying.  Clinton was nearly impeached for getting head, and Bush has done so so so much worse.  I wish he could get impeached.  We should find out how to get it started!

Bush's popularity has dropped dramatically since his proposal to Iraq invasion. But still there are advocates behind him supporting his action and administration. Remember he got his second term of presidency voted by us. Good chances are this is his last term in the white house. Bush dynasty is going to be over soon.

I believe Bush should be impeached immediately. You want to know why I think that? Watch this film on 9-11:\n\nhttp://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8260059923762628848\n\n\nAnd then write your congressman and tell him you want Bush impeached! Everyone must do this or it will never happen and he will get away with god-only-knows how many other crimes.\n\n\nPeace

Impeach seems to be the only viable course of action. But at this particular point in time it is not an impossibility. All the BS he has his buddies toss out to the public to distract us from that damned war... every kind of scare from mad cow disease to the anthrax to other ploys like the Do Not Call List to this whole episode of spying on the American public -- he's incompetent in a smart way, because he knows that the more the American people concentrate on hating him the less they are dwelling on his little big f*cking war going on over in Iraq and he can drink whiskey and play all the golf he wants.\n\nHis popularity rating right now is at the bottom of the sh*t pond because of all this BS crap he's got going on. Impeachment seems to very much a likelihood for him.
