According to a new report in Esquire magazine, Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-NE) has suggested that Congress may consider the impeachment of President Bush before his term ends:
Quote:
“The president says, ‘I don’t care.’ He’s not accountable anymore,” Hagel says, measuring his words by the syllable and his syllables almost by the letter. “He’s not accountable anymore, which isn’t totally true. You can impeach him, and before this is over, you might see calls for his impeachment. I don’t know. It depends how this goes.”
The conversation beaches itself for a moment on that word — impeachment — spoken by a conservative Republican from a safe Senate seat in a reddish state. It’s barely even whispered among the serious set in Washington, and it rings like a gong in the middle of the sentence, even though it flowed quite naturally out of the conversation he was having about how everybody had abandoned their responsibility to the country, and now there was a war going bad because of it.
Hagel isn’t the only one frustrated. The desire for more accountability over Bush has led to increasing calls for impeachment from the Washington State legislature, the mayor of Salt Lake City, and town hall meetings in Vermont.
Rep. Jay Inslee (D-WA) said pushing for impeachment would be counterproductive because it would break off efforts to recruit conservative support for changing the course of the war in Iraq. “We’re trying to get [conservatives] to vote against the war. They’re coming around. You don’t hear them singing the virtues of George Bush like they used to. But nothing will turn this into a partisan lockdown faster than impeachment.” Inslee added, “Ending the war is what’s important now.”

well, i guess that's a matter of profound subjectivity... curious as that may be...
You got that right. PROFOUND subjectivity. And most curious, indeed.
You could not find a better way to split the country right down the middle, and cause a rift of irreparable proportions if you were working out of some mad scientist's laboratory, should any impeachment efforts take substantial form.

But maybe that's what rings your bell.

Impeachment can also take place after the term is over. This president needs to be dealt with for the sake of national pride. I don't want an aircraft carrier to be named after him. I agree that impeachment of a sitting president in this media age is next to impossible.
The impeachment should have taken place by the democrats during the 04 elections, but they achieved the impossible: failed miserably to field a decent candidate to beat this heinous administration that was taking on water and had no thrust at all.
The democrats cannot decide if they should stand up or sit down when they take a piss, how can they get their acts together to do much of anything except to keep aggravating people and fighting amongst themselves. Time for a 3rd party folks, this two party crap leaves us little choice, as bottom line they are all in bed with each other.

Wistah, bro, you need to get out of Massachusetts for a while. Go out to Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, or down south. See the country. Get a feel for how other citizens of this nation see this. Your views do not express how I feel about George's affect on "national pride", and I know I'm not alone by any means.
Something as extreme as impeachment is only a divisive weapon. It would only foster more resentment, more rancor, more anger between the two parties (who are actually brothers who cry out for reconciliation, as do Jews and Arabs, blacks and whites, east and west).
It is absolutely counter-productive in this situation, and would only serve to give encouragement to those who really do want to destroy the United States. Yes, they exist, and they will not like a Democrat country any more than a Republican one, as the incidents that took place during Clinton's watch testify: USS Cole, first WTC bombing, two US embassies destroyed in Africa, etc.
George made some miscalculations. He has been paying for them, especially since he lost both chambers of Congress. Retribution only breeds more retribution. As a great man once said: "Let the one who has not sinned cast the first stone."
Hagel suggests possible impeachment
I suppose it would be an improvement.....
