View Full Version : So now that the Democrats in the House and Senate
HaloGuardian 11-10-2006, 01:23 PM are so focused on not impeaching or investigating the Bush administration, are they actually planning on doing something besides sucking the Republican teet?
How do you already decide you are not going to do anything?
This pussy party puts up nothing new every time whether they have power or not.
Meh.
outsider 11-10-2006, 01:25 PM Democrats have taken over the Senate and House but until the power transitions Republicans still have the majority.

An enlightened society will be inevitable in 2008.
Darth LOL 11-10-2006, 05:22 PM They aren't going to investigate or impeach Bush because they are in up to their eyes in this mess as well. One of the reasons Ford Jr. lost in Tennessee is because we all knew about Jr.'s voting record in the House. He voted yes on every single one of the Bush initiatives, even the use of torture - and then had the nerve to make A New Generation of Leadership his campaign slogan. More like the same old bootlicking bullshit.:rolleyes:

how would investigating or trying to impeach Bush help end the conflict in Iraq or the problems with NK and Iran. Would it help solve the immigation problem or the Budget deficit? If wasting Congress's time by trying to impeach Bush solves all these issues then by all means go for it.

Your broken logic make it sound as though there would be no advantage to impeaching Bush. It would stop or at least sow down the slew of retarded things that the executive branch is guilty of, it would bring back our credibility with many other countries throughout the world that we are reliant on in one way or another, it would show the future leaders of this country that they are not unassailable and above the law.
You make it sound as though there would be no benefit.

Cheney would be the next President, so i guess that would be a benefit, but since an impeachment wouldn't happen anyway(they don't have even close to enough votes), it would just waste time and keep them from actually accomplishing anything for the next 2 years. Not sure where the real benefit is

Were Bush to be impeached and removed from office you can bet your cookies that Cheney would be about as neutered a President as one could be.
And also, it might be a good thing to do not much for the next two years since the last six has been a horror wrought by doing too much.
GoodCitizenDan 11-10-2006, 10:42 PM I hate George Bush. I don't think that's much of a secret, here. Still, I don't think impeaching bush is a top priority right now.
There are so many things that need fixing right now that we need to concentrate on the good of the country first. Bush has signaled that he's willing to work with the democrats, which probably means that he will let the democrats try and fix the country, then claim credit for anything that works.
If they can get this country back into good fiscal standing, get some oversight on the corruption, and start putting funding back where it belongs(in the schools), THEN, AFTER THAT, worry about impeaching the president.
Its not that he shouldn't be impeached. His actions on a couple occassions would actually warrant impeachment(The time he declared that Treasury bills were nothing but "IOUs" could be enough for impeachment by itself). Still, impeachment is a long, all-consuming process, and we don't have time to deal with that crap right now. It would lock up the entire government for almost the remainder of the president's term, and would foster more partisanship within our country. Besides, when during that time are the democrats going to prove they can lead this nation? THATS what they need to be doing...
HaloGuardian 11-11-2006, 12:36 PM so going to war based on completely phony intel that has slaughtered thousands of US men and women as well as thousands of Iraqi's isn't worthy of impeachment?
And they knew it was complete horseshit when they went, they wouldn't have admittedly flown a UN plane over Iraq hoping Saddam would shoot it down for no reason...
It is a priority, and just because the democrats are playing this "we're gonna change for the better" card it doesn't mean anything. It basically means "we are gonna do what we want" (which is absolutely nothing different).
2 years from now you will all see.
cursed74 11-13-2006, 01:26 PM nvm i was wrong...lets go ahead and spend the next 2 years in the impeachment process

I can't wait now, I'm too excited.

Being wrong is wrong.

You sure are saying a lot without saying anything.

Blah blah blah... You're angry. I get it. I'm angry about it too.
I think it's really a matter of priorities, though. Do we spend the next 2 years improving the situation, or do we spend the next 2 years pointing fingers while MORE of our soldiers die? To me the choice seems obvious.
Maybe some indictments will stick after his 2 years run up and he's out of office. I wouldn't be suprised if something shows up eventually. Really, though, I don't think anyone wants to see Dick Cheney OR Nancy Pelosi get sworn in as president.
