| IF bush is re-selected, are impeachment proceedings likely? |
|
I know there were a lot of pretty good impeach bush movements going on there for a while and I think they decided to hold on and see who wins this.
From what I understand they are well-funded (mostly through tons of little contributions) and there are people in Congress now just waiting to see.
I think the plan is (and someone correct me if I'm wrong) if he's still in the White House after this, the gloves come off full-force.
Am I right? And does a lot of it depend on the 2006 mid-terms?

There will be terrorist acts, anthrax, Marshal law, suicided officials & reporters... Anything to stay in power and avoid the justice due them.

| 4. I can count one possible Republican Congressman, but only one |
|
so impeachment would never fly, even if everything done in secret were revealed.

| 5. It would only happen if the people demanded it |
|
whether thru marches and demonstration or through the media by people who demand to be heard.

| 6. I was CERTAIN Reagan would be impeached in his second term |
|
and now they wanna name everything after him and put his face on the Dime.
So I wouldn't count on it.

| 7. Depends if we take back Congress. |
|
I'd rather see the guy impeached than voted out, personally. A bus ticket back to Crawford is too good for that scum.

Investigations into the phoney baloney "energy crisis" in CA were getting underway until 2002. I think if we had the majority Bush would be toast.

We would first have to control the house, senate and the media. Too tall an order for this year. We must beat * at the polls.

| 12. Not a chance. If Bush wins, legally or illegally, there is no way |
|
a republican Congress will seek to impeach him. Bush and others in his administration will continue to commit felonies with impunity and the republicans in Congress and the DOJ will continue to block any investigations. Bush will invade additional countries and critics will be branded as supporting terrorists. Bush will continue to parade his arrogance and ignorance as badges of achievement and the republican base will continue to worship the LordGodBush.

| 13. It is more likely that there will be a monument built in his honor |
|
on the mall in DC. Stop with the fantasies. Up is down. Black is white. War is peace. A decorated war veteran is a coward and an AWOL drug abuser is a hero. Got it.

| 14. Not as long as the repukes are in control. Not gonna happen. |

He could be caught live on TV in front of millions screwing little boys, and they still wouldn't do anything. In fact, they would find a way to blame the dems and Kerry, to bott!
