Democrats Don't Wish To Impeach Bush/Cheney

Democrats in Washington want to keep impeachment off the table

McClatchy Newspapers

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.

An Essay From A Soldier In Iraq

   This comes by way of AMERICAblog.

I came here as part of the first wave of this so called "troop surge", but so far it has effectively done nothing to quell insurgent violence. I have seen the rise in violence between the Sunni and Shiite. This country is in the middle of a civil war that has been on going since the seventh century.
Why are we here when this country still to date does not want us here? Why does our president’s personal agenda consume him so much, that he can not pay attention to what is really going on here?
....I would just like to know what is the true reason we are here? This country poses no threat to our own. So why must we waste the lives of good men on a country that does not give a damn about itself? Most of my friends here share my views, but do not have the courage to say anything.

   There is much, much more to this essay from this soldier so you may wish to go HERE to read all of it.
