View Full Version : THE (NOT AN) IMPEACHMENT HEARINGS TODAY.

Today, both Dems and Repubs met to discuss Bush's impeachment while working to never call it that.

He isn't being impeached.

""It looks like we are hosting an anger management class," Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Tex.) told his colleagues on the House Judiciary Committee this morning.

He had a point.

House Democrats had called the session, given the anodyne title "Executive Power and Its Constitutional Limitations," to allow the left wing to vent its collective spleen. The left, led by diminutive Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich (D-Ohio), wants impeachment proceedings against the president. Democratic leaders have made clear there will be no impeachment, because that would be practically ineffective (there isn't enough time) and politically reckless (it would disrupt a campaign environment that heavily favors Democrats)."

Any thoughts?

Dennis Kucinich has a hawt wife. Life is truly full of mysteries. :hmm:

Other than that, it seems the Dems have been willing dance partners or void of any political sense when it has come to opposing the Bush Administration. For eight friggin' years. Sit down and shut up. As a class you've blown it, and pushing this any further is just going to make you look even more ridiculous.

Kucinich is da man! Too bad the hearings were just for show. For the Congressional scum to argue that the impeachment was for 'political purposes' means that every Congressional scumbag who voted to impeach Slick Willie should be on trial for perjury themselves. Close the US government down and flush it. Sharia law cannot be as flucked up as the shit that goes on here at the federal, state, and local levels.

Setting limits on love and where it can and cannot be found among consenting adults is one of those things that betrays some folks as foolish individuals of severely limited vision.

Picking a mate and standing by them through thick and thin is, to my way of seeing things a great virtue.

Giving pause to a relationship that isn't yours or that you don't comprehend the nature of, tends to throw a spotlight on an individuals personal limitations.

What I find galling is the idea that ANY party's obtaining the White house is more important than protecting and preserving the integrity and security the United States of America and it's people.

Impeachment is more than called for, and doing so should be our elected representative's duty, and placed before all else ( As called for in the oath of office for the lowliest elected official.)

Well, get your gall bladder removed, I guess. Bush sort of won in 2000 and did win in 2004. Vox populi, vox dei.

Congress was his partner in crime. If he goes, they all should, too. Maybe excepting Ron Paul and, yes, Kucinich. And that black guy who kept wads of $100 bills in his freezer. (He's great comic relief.) So 3/535 (House and all the Senate) gives us a 99% plus removal rate of the stooges.

That I could go for, personally.

The left, led by diminutive Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich

What difference does his height make?

If he were fat, tall, bald, in a wheelchair etc etc would those physical characterisitcs be important enough to mention ?

Lets try some on for size and see how they would read ..

The left, led by fat Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich

The left, led by wheelchair bound Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich

The left, led by bald Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich

I think the effeminately named blogger Dana Milbank could have some unresolvable size issues of his own

I HAD thought Ron Paul to be someone worth a second look.

But, I can see by your support, and your display of disdain for any sort of dialogue while supporting him, that i was mistaken. (My bad)

If that is the guy you support, he too must be trash and discarded from all consideration.

Too bad the hearings were just for show.Not to mention being a complete waste of time and effort. Bush will be out of there in 6 months. It would take longer than that to remove him from office through impeachment.

Meanwhile...we've got seriously massive problems facing our nation that no one in Congress wants to deal with.

Dialogue about what, exactly? Your uber-groovy take on the search for true love?

Or that the Democrats have bent over and grabbed their collective ankles for eight years while getting rogered time and time again by the Cheney Administration? And only NOW seem to have reached some sort of dim-bulb realization that things might not have been as they seemed? And that of course, none of it, not one bit of it can be laid at their doorstep.

If that is the guy you support, he too must be trash and discarded from all consideration.

I said Kucinich could stay, too. I guess by LiberTBell logic, that means he should get tossed?

In politics POSTURE is important... each aprty signals the other with intents and meanings.

NOT Impeaching him means he's an okay guy who's hit a roug patch.

The reality is however, he was NEVER up to the job, is incompetant, and a clear and present danger to our nation.

Who cares if he's to leave before it's completed... do it anyway.

As for a referendum, it's only to find out the wishes of the American people.

Do the majority of us want him gone NOW?

This question was asked and answered already;

'Would you favor or oppose the impeachment by Congress of President Bush and VP Cheney?'

From the 'Insideradvantage poll'

Favor; 39%

Opposed; 55%

Undecided/don't know; 6%

From the Rasmussen Poll;

39% Favor

49% Opposed

12% Not sure

These are the latest results taken by these polls and both polls are consistent.

So where is your majority of Americans you talk about that favor impeachment?

The Constitution REQUIRES it for people that have committed the crimes the BA has, it doesn't matter what time of the year it is or if it hurts the feelings of the rednecks or if his term is almost over.

Do we allow murderers to go free if it's been many years since they committed their crimes?

This nation either stops sucking up to tyrants and fascists and puts them in jail, or this country is done for, I know the neo-conazi's would love to finish off what's left of the US and civilization just like their Muslim brothers, but that doesn't mean we should let these fanatics have their way.

The mainstream media, and even the right wing media admits ( grudgingly) that Bush's presidency has been a complete and total failure.

His failed presidency has cost the lives of tens of thousands, and will cost many, many more before the concentric rings of destruction he's generated fade into the distence.

His actions have been no less than high treason on every front and in every fatally flawed policy.

It also noted in the media that REpublicans have had their brand tainted to the point where holding a republican voter registration card is akin to holding a Nazi party identification.

The of impeachment is far, far more important than anything else on the scorched landscape as it pertains to America's image and standing in the international community.

I can name 1000 things that Congress should be doing right now that are more important than the impeachment of a lame duck president. The fact that you can't see that just confirms the fact that you have an complete and utter lack of any critical thinking skills whatsoever.

NOT Impeaching him means he's an okay guy who's hit a roug patch.No, it does not mean he's "an okay guy"...it just means that very little of any substance will come out of it and there are far more important things to be focusing on right now.

Would you insist on detaining a robber in your home at the same time your child is drowning in the swimming pool? Which is more important to you?

If you care about looking like a badass, maybe holding the criminal would be your priority. But, if you care about your family, you'd let him go.

Our country is drowning and all you want to do is grandstand and delay possible solutions. That's dumb.


Who cares if he's to leave before it's completed... do it anyway.There are bigger fish to fry.

As for a referendum, it's only to find out the wishes of the American people.Again, how would you organize the referrendum and get it on all the ballots across the nation? There is no mechanism anywhere to do that. There is no Constitutional presidence for it either.

Of course, you never let the Constitution get in your way.

The Constitution REQUIRES it for people that have committed the crimes the BA has, it doesn't matter what time of the year it is or if it hurts the feelings of the rednecks or if his term is almost over.Yet, all it would do is remove him from office. He would not go to jail. And, if he has done something illegal, he will not be immune from prosecution simply because his term has ended. Going after him in a criminal proceeding would be far more useful.

As I said...you couldn't gather the evidence and hold an impeachment trial in the 6 months he has left. So, there's no point.

Do we allow murderers to go free if it's been many years since they committed their crimes?You seem to be confused. An impeachment is NOT a criminal proceeding. The only consequence of a guilty verdict is removal from office.

Perhaps you think removing murderers from their jobs is appropriate punishment?

And you want to let George W. bush go?

I don't.

And you want to let idiot George off the hook.

None of his actions rise to the level of impeachable in your book?

Then YOU have a fish fry.

I want a Bush fry.

Again, how would you organize the referrendum and get it on all the ballots across the nation? There is no mechanism anywhere to do that. There is no Constitutional presidence for it either..

Yeah, the internet is way too slow and disorganizd to be able to make use of all those databases....<yawn>

Of course, you never let the Constitution get in your way.

Why should it?

I never took an oath of office, and so far, nobody that HAS seems interested in doing their job, or following its lead.


BTW, are you aware that you are arguing on Bush's behalf with someone who could care less about his comfort, legacy, or what would be convienient for him?

I want him on trial, and you can't convince me he doesn't deserve to be there.

Impeachment is a no brainer.

There's no doubt that George W. bush has been prosecuting a war against the American people and has methodically granted each and every one of Ossama Bin Ladens wishes, including not catching him, or even trying to.

they certainly don't like its principals of freedom


Is that principle of freedom the reason the government gave itself the authority to track what we read, watch & listen to? Why it gave itself the power to arrest & detain without warrant, charges or a trial? Why it's been snooping our email, evesdropping our phone calls, and spying on us? Is the principle of freedom behind the patriot acts?


they certainly don't like its principals of freedom and individual accountability,

Individual accountability being the reason we just passed a law granting phone companies retroactive immunity for illegal wiretapping, because the President said that if they're punished for breaking the law, there's a risk that they might not do it again. Is it THAT individual accountability? Or the Vice President hiding from the police and lying about his drinking activity to try to cover up being drunk when he shot someone? Or is it the principle of individual accountability that got Scooter Libby pardoned for perjury for lying to cover up illegal activity from Cheney's office?

Where are these principles of freedom and individual accountability?



they REALLY don't like its traditional morals (which they are trying at every point to overturn), and freedoms, don't even get me started. Yeah, it's sad.


Morals are a personal choice. They can't be overturned. Laws that infringe on our principle of freedom, however, CAN be overturned. But, that we have to do it at all kind of shoots a hole in your freedom blurb. Freedom me ans freedom to make your own choices in life. Our principle of freedom is what causes those morality laws to get over turned.

They're not going to stop if they know whats good for them and their careers.

Not too many people will vote for someone who didin't.

The issue of impeachment has traction and is only lacking support from Pelosi, who took it off the table right after being elected.

Do you think anyone is ever going to forget that?

Who are you trying to fool? You're going to vote a straight Democrat ballot in November no matter what happens between now and then. Pelosi and the Gang know that. Doncha think? They know that there isn't any way kook fringe folks like yourself are going to vote Republican. You've got no where else to go.

You're a gun nut...You telling me you wouldn't have time to squeeze off a few rounds before diving into the pool?Have you always lived in Fantasy Land?

And you want to let George W. bush go?

I don't.

And you want to let idiot George off the hook.You seem to be confused. Impeachment would only remove Bush from office. It wouldn't send him to jail. If he's done something illegal, then by all means indict him in a court-of-law and send him to prison.

An impeachment is nothing but a waste of time.

None of his actions rise to the level of impeachable in your book?

Seriously?It really doesn't matter. He's on the way out and as I said, it would take longer to put the evidence together and have a trial than the time he has left. It's stupid.


Then YOU have a fish fry.

I want a Bush fry.Don't be retarded.


Yeah, the internet is way too slow and disorganizd to be able to make use of all those databases....<yawn>I didn't say it wasn't possible...I said it wasn't legal and/or Constitutional. Can you see the difference?


Why should it?

I never took an oath of office, and so far, nobody that HAS seems interested in doing their job, or following its lead.I see. So, only those who have taken an oath of office need to believe in the principles enshrined in our Constitution? Very interesting...


BTW, are you aware that you are arguing on Bush's behalf with someone who could care less about his comfort, legacy, or what would be convienient for him?Actually, this has very little to do with a defense of Bush. The point I'm making is one of practicality. There simply is not enough time to remove him from office before he's scheduled to go anyway. So what's the point? In the mean time, our nation is facing massive problems that no one wants to spend a minute talking about in Congress? I find that shocking and stupid.

Bush's presidency is a historicly failed one, but he's broken the law more times than anyone is publicly willing to admit to.

Impeachment is the remedy America's forefathers handed us to deal with situations such as this.

As you pointed out, by the time impeachment gets anywhere, he'll be out of office anyway.

AS for Cheney taking over, the above statement applied to him too.

I mean, come on, you really expect me to believe that the majority of Democrats are going to vote Republican this year because they're mad at Pelosi for not being liberal enough? How much sense does that make? You might think they'll vote independent or third-party...which would be the same as a vote for a Republican anyway.

Hahaha!!! So, when I say impeachment's a waste of time, you insist it's a necessity. When N'or says so, you believe that it's suddenly a well-calculated plot by the Democrats.

The fact is, the worst thing in the history of the Democrat Party would be to remove GWB from office. They're counting on running against him this year. If he's removed, who they going to run against? McCain?

Wrong again ( gee, what a surprise)

I'm guessing no matter what, it's going to be pretty hard to "grab" a guy with Secret Service protection...which all former presidents are entitled to.

I also believe that it is in the interests of a sitting president to offer the full protection of the United States to former presidents...because one day each sitting president will be a former president too. If Reagan let Carter be grabbed somewhere for something he did...then Clinton could have let Reagan be grabbed at some later date. Not gonna happen.

I'm guessing that the Secret Service probably wants his butt hog tied more than any bad guys do.

If and when they are called off by the next president, idiot George will have to resort to his accumulated bootlicker security teams which can EASILY be swated aside in order to lay hands on the chicken.

When idiot George leves office, a witches brew of legal troubles await him ( along with some seriously ticked off citizens ( my self included)

Nothing will happen to Bush after he leaves office and he'll never lose his secret service protection.

In fact, not even Nixon didn't even get into any trouble. The only President who ever did get into any real trouble after leaving office was Clinton, who was cited for contempt after his felony perjury charges were dropped, but he still got a slap on the wrist. He was fined 90 grand and was disbarred for five years.

Since you haven't supplied anything to support it and just put it out there, I'm going to have to go with the "wishful thinking on your part" conclusion.

Why yes, Nixon left office early because he was tired of being president.<snicker>

The fact of the matter is that his crime didn't rise to the level of being worth prosecution.

No reasonable person, being briefed on Bush's transgressions could come to the conclusion that the offenses are not worth hauling has stinking carcass off to "the joint". ( And a former president cannot pardon himself.. he's WIDE open for it)

There will be howls of outrage from the right's "dead enders" when they read him his rights ( even though it will be done in private), and take his mug shot.

I'm not wishing anything. What happens to him won't affect me at all, but Americans don't prosecute their ex Presidents. I sounds like the wishful thinking is on your part.

He would be pardoned anyway, just as Nixon was. He didn't walk because his crimes didn't warrant prosecution. That pardon cost Gerald Ford the election and gave us Jimmy Carter. Scooter Libby has already been given a pass, and should anything happen to put Bush in any kind of real legal jeopardy (which I highly doubt), he'll get one too.You can bet on it. How do I know this?? because it's the nature of the business that he's in and the position that he's reached. Even Clinton's perjury charges were dropped, which would have been a felony had they stuck, but the State of Arkansas didn't want their boy prosecuted, so the gave him something he could handle; a small fine and disbarment. It had to be humiliating, but it was far better than standing trial.

How do I support my assertions"?? It's called US history, along with years of watching politicians get away with anything they choose for the most part. Politics is a business, and those who are well connected and rise to the top can do whatever they want with no accountability.

Congress is just as guilty (and that's a huge understatement) as any President when it comes to any wrongdoing, because whatever is done cannot be done without being funded, and only Congress can fund anything. Bush didn't pay for the wars, nor has he spent one penny on anything. He can't. So, if the President is guilty, then so is every member of Congress who went along with him and funded his agenda, which includes Obama BTW. He's voted to fund the wars every time it's come to a vote.

Bush hasn't done anything outside of the realm of his authority, and as I've stated before, Abe Lincoln committed far more crime against the United States than Bush could ever dream of, and he's revered. He's in the big leagues, and he'll retire and earn big money making speeches and appearances, may even be called in as a consultant from time to time, just as Nixon was.

Do you know how many pardons and commutations Bush has given so far?? The answer is 157 with over 3000 pending. Does our press report this?? No.

Clinton pardoned 141 on his way out, including an international criminal; Marc Rich.

No international court is going to prosecute an ex US president. First off, our government would never allow it, neither would any President of any party, because if were to they allow it, then they could be next. Ain't gonna' happen.

The American people would fight before they allowed that to happen. You can't apply the rules to one and ignore the others.

Stop assuming I condone every bad thing our government does. I'm extremely anti government, anti IRs, anti Social security, anti welfare, national health, anti death penalty and anti lots of other things.

What you say things HAVE to be is your opinion of how you want them to be, but not how they will be. People like you and I have no power to change these things. We have one stinkin' vote. That's the extent of your power and mine. I'm just being honest and many people don't want to hear the truth. What we have now is the result of us giving our power away (for a very long time) to people who promise the moon and letting government make our decisions, because we don't really want all of that responsibility; not deep down. This is exactly why I refuse to vote for liberals. They're the biggest users of bait and switch in history. They promise to give and they take instead. Waht government gives it can also take away, so I want nothing they're selling.

They're the worst culprits of all when it comes to taking away power and creating dependency. History proves this to be true without question, especially since the early to mid 70's when the far left liberals sealed the deal on taking over the Democratic party. Socialism is their goal, and I'll never support that.

Oh yeah, you can lobby your representatives and get a form letter that takes both sides of every issue, but it changes nothing. That's why I gave up activism long ago. It's basically a pointless waste of time unless you have millions of dollars to pamper (or buy) politicians with. That's what makes politicians stand up and take notice; not emails and phone calls that are handled by their subordinates and that they never even see.

You can try all you want to get "war criminals" on trial, but I guarantee you'll fail. You'll hit more brick walls then you ever even dreamed existed. They're protected at every level, and little guys don't get their foot in any door unless they have either extremely serious dirt on someone (and live to go public with it), or extremely deep pockets.

Obama isn't going to pardon him, he can't pardon himself, and the world court is just itching to get their hands on Neo-Cons who ordered an illegal war and prosecuted it in a haphazzard manner causing deaths that were'nt needed.

Reality bites, doesn't it?

You should probaly get use to a tidal wave of unpleasant truths washing over you in the coming years.

It works for me. LOL

You should be very used to it by now.

Lot's of wishful thinking there. LOL

Could it be that some on the right are dreading the results of the seeds they themselves have planted, and are now looking to disown the crops?

Sure looks like it.

I wish it were possible to flash forward to Bush climbing up thirteen steps for the express trip down.

That would be VERY satisfying.

Don't hold your breath. I don't think he'll be visiting the swamp any time soon.

I don't know... It sure looks like you are waving it all away to me...

Of course, in subjective terms, you can wave away anything you like ( or not wave it away for that matter) and it will not effect the outcome at all.

Bush pardoned his cronies, and as the coocoo birds on the right are fond of saying: Clintondidittoo.

No matter.

This is about the last (soon to be)8 years of the Bush admin and their anti-AMerican activities.

Obama isn't going to pardon him, he can't pardon himself, and the world court is just itching to get their hands on Neo-Cons who ordered an illegal war and prosecuted it in a haphazzard manner causing deaths that were'nt needed.

Then there's that whole TORTURE thing.....

It's time to pay the piper.

You HAD to know this would happen...

So did he... and if he didn't, we'll just consider it a wake-up call.

No pardons, no get out of jail free cards, no detention, no country club prisons, and no kidding.

Super Max... where the worst of the worst go... and where sunlight is a thing of the past.

Future home of the Bush family's lawn jocky....the un-aborted, George W. Bush.

A US President can pardon himself if he so chooses. It's never been done but it's legal.

Now you tell me I "had to know this was happening" as if it is happening. We'll see, but my money is on retirement.

Not that I don't take your word for it or anything <wicked grin>, but could you please supply me with something other than your word for it... you know... a source document from the U.S. government, detailing exactly how it is that an EX-president can issue a pardon for himself?

Somebody should have told Nixon. LOL

You don't like me responding to your posts?

Either way you look at it, Bush, Cheney, and Rove aren't going to face any international court. It's only going to happen in the fevered imaginations of fewer and fewer demagogues as time marches on and as Obama brings a fresh set of even more outrageous scandals for America to deal with.

get over it. we know you hate bush but please get the **** over it. the process to impeach him would take longer than the time he has left so logically pursuing it now is pointless. second there are better things for them to do besides have impeachment hearings and the like. yes we know you ****ing hate bush that you'd rather they do nothing than find a way to get rid of him, even though with the limited time he has left there isnt much he can do now, all that matters is that your thirst for his blood be slaked and damn the logic full speed ahead man, you need revenge and must have it.

please, shut the **** up and get the **** over it. this amount of hate for any person is simply unhealthy for you. let it go. but hey you're only raising your risk for any number of cardio vascular problems let alone higher blood pressure and other medical problems and yes these things are very real consequences hence why it is unhealthy for you to be this damn mad angry and have this much hate for someone. maybe driving yourself to an early grave will give some of us some relief from the constant junkyard dog attacks from people who are more interested in vengeance than trying to solve the problems we're going to have after this man leaves office whether or not he's impeached or tried for war crimes or any of the other bullshit some of you all want to hang him for.

so you'd rather they impeach him then trying to get on with the business of trying to fix the myriad of problems we have, good for you. some of us can see beyond a kneejerk response to a smaller problem and look at the bigger problems and deal with those instead. i know you dont care but trust me, there are going to be tons of problems after he leaves office, some he created some he didnt but you just keep thumping your chest demanding your pound of flesh, the rest of us would rather move on and deal with something bigger.

IF you think I'm the only person who doesn't want to see Bush walk away from the mess he's made and sleep well at night, you are mistaken.
