Its Vermont, which isn't exactly representative of the United States, but the kooks are putting pressure on Democrats to introduce articles of impeachment:
Organizers of the grassroots drive to get town meetings to back impeachment resolutions hope that the overwhelming support the initiative has received will convince Welch to introduce articles of impeachment against Bush and Cheney. That's something the Democratic congressman is resisting, even though his predecessor, Bernie Sanders, signed on last year to a proposal by Michigan Congressman John Conyers to set up a House committee to look into impeachment.
Democratic pols are backing away and resisting this pressure - and that hoists them on their on petard. If they hadn't been pandering to the kook left all these years, they wouldn't have a kook left trying to force them into politically suicidal actions. The reason, after all, why Democrats aren't moving to impeach is because there is no public support for it and, of course, there aren't 67 votes in the Senate to convict...and impeaching the CinC during wartime just might make Democrats seem a little weak on national defense for 2008.
Personally, I think the kook left will prevail eventually on this - they are unified in their absurd view that President Bush is a criminal and they really do think it is their sacred duty to force him out of office...that sort of mindless fanaticism can only be deterred by people who have firm convictions regarding truth and justice, things entirely lacking in the Democratic House leadership. I'm looking forward to it - not least so that the televised hearings on impeachment can bring into America's living room the screwballs who make up the left...once these loons starting talking "the Jews" and "Halliburton", they'll finally be exposed to a mass audience as the fools they are.

GW needs to rally the base to stave this off.Fight for us GW and the base will be there.I can't understand what he is waiting for?

Well, there are the little matters of lying in order to start a war, spying without warrants, torture, etc., etc...
While the kook right follows Bush no matter what laws he breaks, ("Hey, we've got the handbasket, which way is hell?")

It will be interesting to see how all the Democrat presidential hopefuls spin this. If it happens and they have to declare whether on not they support impeachment could be a real problem. If the kooks succeed, then we should force the canidates to declare themselves. Wonder how the MSM will play that?

political impeachments on judgement calls weaken our govt including the illadvised (& acquited) wild bill. it wasn't worth the taxpayer monies.
yet another reason the best & brightest won't run.
sides, the lawyers write enough loopholes into legislation to define themselves as outside the crimes they obviously commit.
another example of the clear distinction between Leaders & lawyers.

To the dems- Bush won, kerry lost. Get over it.

Two reasons why impeachment will not proceed.
The Republicans devalued impeachment when they used it for purely political reasons. When impeachment is used to try to discredit a president for a extramarital affair, it becomes meaningless. Democrats respect the process and the constitution more than that.
Second, an impeachment proceeding would distract us form getting to the truth on a myriad of others matters relating to this administration. The light of day will not be kind to Bush and the Neocons.

Here's the reason why impeachment will go no where: Congress approved the attack. Period. Plus, there were no lies and the left is full of kooks.

The Kook Left isn't the only ones who want to overthrow the US government.-
Insinuating Shari'a Into America:
"Native American Courts: Precedent for an Islamic arbitral system"
Lgf, "At 'The American Muslim,' Issa Smith describes the plan to establish shari’a law in the United States—and yes, he is talking about shari’a for everyone. This is the violence-deferred front of the global jihad—the attempt to use our own democratic institutions to subvert themselves and institute a Dark Ages legal code, first for themselves, but in the long run for the entire country. It’s Islamic supremacism in a Trojan Horse disguise of free speech."
Although the Muslim community in North America is vastly different from the Indian community, I feel that in developing a plan for the implementation of Muslim family law, we can in some ways imitate the paradigm of the tribal court system and its supporting network[..]. A second step would be to establish institutes in the U.S. which can supplement legal education with courses in Islamic family law. At the same time, pressure should be put on law schools to include courses in Shariah taught by Muslims. An idea suggested in several quarters and being developed by the American Muslim Council, is the moot court where students and legal experts can act out Muslim family court scenarios. ...
The process of implementing Muslim family law will not be accomplished overnight. [...] Such a radical change in American law—allowing Muslims to take control over their family law issues - must be initiated from the indigenous Muslim community here in the United States. To have it seem that this initiative is originating from overseas or from organizations financed overseas, would create a very negative impression that would likely destroy this effort.
While we in America-left and right-fight amongst ourselves, our real enemies are working to institute Shari'a Law right here in America. The above article was originally posted in 1993. They've had some success already. One example of this success is the Muslim cab drivers in MN refusing service to: gays, passengers with alcohol, and the blind with guide dogs. This is just the beginning, folks. Wake up to see who the real enemy is.

Just for the heck of it, can you name one American who was "spied" on by the Bush Administration?

There are little matters, such as PM(S) rehashing three-year-old baseless talking points.
PM(S), how does it feel to be stupider than kblack?

How about us! Nice timing since the news today March 9 2007 is full of stories as to how the FBI abused the Patriot Act to spy without authorization. You neocons never learn.

Bill Clinton was impeached due to criminalization of his affair...but Bush being impeached due to how he strategically used info to make the case for war and for secret prisons adoesn't make sense? Hmmm
