Do you believe President Bush’s actions justify impeachment?
333429 responsesYes, between the secret spying, the deceptions leading to war and more, there is plenty to justify putting him on trial.
87%No, like any president, he has made a few missteps, but nothing approaching “high crimes and misdemeanors.”
4.4%No, the man has done absolutely nothing wrong. Impeachment would just be a political lynching.
6.9%I don’t know.
1.8%
Americans really want a change.
HELL YES! lol
Thanks to Bush there are now 20,000 more amputees in America.
Thanks to Bush military health care and benefits have been stripped.
Thanks to Bush science and medicine have been reduced to “biblical” proportions.
Gee, thanks Bush and his supporters. I’m sure the troops will be thankful for your “respect” and support.
Psst Ms. Pelosi, I guess if you think impeachment isn’t worthy of the crimes against humanity for Bush… then maybe you should get on your knees and suck… THEN you could find Impeachment Proceedings “worthy”.
Do I believe?… You betcha. But I hope Impeachment comes to this President from a natural process of investigation and fact finding. Hopefully this leads to a groundswell of public opinion that demands impeachment. But Jebus, 87%?! Either we have become REAL good at freeping polls, or the public opinion is already there!
342,112 responses — 87% say YES, IMPEACH HIM.
Wow. Almost makes you wish there had been a ballot referendum….
In pursuing his punitive (illegal, immoral) regime-changing exercise in Iraq, he not only committed or encouraged those under his command to commit, war crimes, he has over-extended, abused and betrayed the nation’s military — by failing to support them, failing to supply adequate vehicles, body armor, support and combat personnel, and forced units to re-deploy again and again… the end result of which is that the nation’s combat readiness in case of a REAL threat to national security (or, say, a natural disaster) has been severely weakened.
He has willfully and in full knowledge of his actions, violated international treaties to which the United States is a prominent signatory.
He has willfully and with full awareness broken a long list of federal statutes, including the public revelation of sensitive intelligence, for the most petty and insignificant reasons, putting undercover operations and national security at risk.
Most importantly, he has willfully and without apology violated his most sacred oath of office to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, by personally demanding the passage of legislation that contradicts basic and indisputable provisions of the Constitutional Bill of Rights, for the most petty and personal of reasons — to save his own ass from prosecution of crimes committed against the United States, American citizens, and foreign nationals in United States custody.
Damn straight he should be impeached… he and Cheney both.
Is this poll current? When I click “return to story” it takes me to a Howard Fineman piece from Dec 2005.
In any case, a great vote total!
It is an old poll… I should have checked that. It does prove a point though. I pulled it off of a link from the front page of HuffPo.
The title of the article:
Spying, the Constitution — and the `I-word’
2006 will offer up Nixon-era nastiness and a chorus of calls to impeach Bush
Count me as one of those numbers! Although along with impeachment, I want him, Rummy and Cheney in jail paying for their crimes!
First investigate the hell out of the lot of them. Next, impeach, put on tiral and jail all of the criminals.
And those are my most kind and peaceful thoughts.
