Democrats Don't Wish To Impeach Bush/Cheney

Democrats in Washington want to keep impeachment off the table

WASHINGTON - The push to impeach President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney is gaining a hearing in some parts of the country, but not in Washington.

More than 70 cities and 14 state Democratic parties have urged impeachment or investigations that could lead to impeachment. The most common charge is that Bush manipulated intelligence to lead the country into the Iraq war. Other charges include spying on Americans and torturing suspected terrorists in violation of U.S. and international law.

Most recently, the Massachusetts Democratic Party voted to push impeachment of both men. The 2,500 state convention delegates voted almost unanimously against Cheney; the vote against Bush was closer.

Massachusetts' Democratic Party thus joined 13 others on the investigate-or-impeach bandwagon, including: Alaska, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Vermont, Washington and Wisconsin.    More

      This report also notes that the Democrats don't want to go through the same kind of backlash that the GOP suffered when they impeached bill Clinton. The Democrats are showing their " wussy " stripes as was predicted. Clinton got impeached over lying about a blow-job, which the majority of Americans could have cared less about and that is why the Repugnicans caught hell in the first place.

  We have George Bush and Dick Cheney lying to bring us into an illegal war, spying on its own citizens for no cause,and a host of other illegal activities, including possible war crimes and crimes against humanity. I said possible? We know that these clowns are guilty of every crime imaginable so the Democrats should stop worrying about political fallout and the 2008 elections, and get on with impeaching these bastards.
