Try done at all! Since re-election, Bush has done NOTHING except defend his
actions in Iraq.

Oh, that's not quite right. Just after his reelection, he announced
that he had a mandate and was going to take full advantage of it. And
he has! He's done everything his mandate permitted. ;-)

Most of it, he's done very badly indeed.


He tried to pass the immigration bill.

In concert with Ted Kennedy.

But, like everything else the Bushman does, he screwed that one up, too.
Secrecy, defying the will of the people, and so forth.

Clinton didn't pardon/commute anyone who was going after him, did he?
There is a difference. But do I remember at least one of Clinton's was a
flat out crook, right?
And should of never got pardoned.




My comment was nonspecific. Both Clinton a Reagan pardoened people for
political/personal reasons who shouldn't have been pardoned.


This Scooter deal is so transparent. Cheney calls the shots on
everything, and especially on this one.

Perhaps you remember the 2004 election where he did indeed get 51% of
the popular vote.

but we'll never know that for sure....

Wow! There are still idiots crying because they think Gore should have been
elected.
But then again, they identify with Gore because he is an idiot....

While I personally believe he's a
moron, there is no rule that says it's undemocratic for a president to
only please 30% of the population.

duh! but it's unprecedented to have such a poor performing president in
american history.

Unprecedented, it might be. Illegal, it is not. Robert Bolt once wrote a
play
called "A man for all Seasons" in which Sir Thomas Moore, Chancelor of
England was having a philosophical argument with his daughter's fiance, a
young lawyer named Roper about an unwanted house guest who had just left:

*Roper: Sir Thomas, arrest that man, he is bad.
Sir Thomas: On what charge?
Roper: Charge? He's evil.
Sir Thomas: There's no law against that.
Daughter: While you two argue, he's gone.
Sir Thomas: And go he should, until he's broken the law.
Roper: I suppose now that you would give the Devil the benefit of the law?
Sir Thomas: Wouldn't you?
Roper: NO. I'd cut down every law in England to get after the Devil.
Sir Thomas: And with the laws all cut down, and the Devil turned 'round
upon
you, Where would you hide then, young Roper; the laws all being flat? This
country is planted thick with laws, God's laws and man's and if we cut
them
down to go after ANY Devil, who could stand in the wind that would then
blow?Yes, I'd give the Devil the benefit of the law, FOR MY OWN SAFETY'S
SAKE!

*This is paraphrased from memory, I don't have the text handy, but this is
the gist of the conversation

Sage words, and worth remembering. Bush is the worst president in US
history,
yet go he should until he breaks the law, and we cannot circumvent the law
just to rid ourselves of a terrible leader. If we do, we'll have more
serious
problems that simply a bad president.

Also, we need to be careful that we don't elect a worse one simply because
the candidate isn't George Bush. I'm very afraid that we might just do
that.


Well spoken. I shudder at the thought of an amateur like Obama or a
vacilator like Billary gaining office.

There could be some time in the
future where angering 70% of the population is the right thing to do.
If you had to please the majority of people, then we wouldn't even
elect presidents. We would just vote on issues and the majority vote
would decide what to do.

It would be unfair to the 30% of Americans who like Bush to impeach
him unless he has done something illegal. He won the vote, so he is
the president. Besides, he doesn't have any power to do anything that
70% of Congress disagrees with. If his actions are so bad, they can
be democratically overridden by others.

You can't just do away with the rules of democracy because they are
giving you the results you want.

==============================
Bull****!
Bush got 51% of the popular vote in 2004.

Spreading and repeating a lie does not make it true.....

So why are you still trying?

The House just has to say something is an impeachable offense. There are no

And based upon your reaction and language, I hit a nerve.

The old adage "If it walks like a duck..." certainly applies here.

Only a liberal would say "there are no rules"....

Bye Bye to you...you won't be missed.
