I have been hearing a lot about this topic lately given the potentialy illegal and obviously dangerous intrusion into the lives of American citizens. I have heard the argument that impeaching bush this close to the Clinton impeachment would set dangerous precedent. That this could lessen the signifigance of impeachment.
Bullshit, forgive my language but thats what this argument is. I would argue that the impeachment of Clinton set a dangerous precedent and has saved bush from impeachment all ready. Enough is enough. This "president" has lied to us, killed over 2,000 American troops, has killed over 100,000 Iraqi civilians and decimated our economy. Those are to me, impeachable offenses but our legislature has avoided the I word for the above mentioned arguments. When will we decide to remove this criminal - what is the last straw? Will we wait until he decides to go after petty drug dealers with "terrorist" ties to the environmental movement? Will we wait until he spies on gay rights activist because of their ties to AIDs patients who might splash their blood at the hick kicking their ass, obviously a terrorist act? Will we wait until he spies on journalists who call over seas to those with ties to terrorists? Hmmm. He may already be doing that. He has been spying on Americans with no oversight. Sure a few congressman knew about it but couldn't taljk about it - the problem is that the courts are supposed to provide that oversight - they are the only ones with the proper authority and for some strange reason they have been left out of the equation.
This is insane. bush has shredded the constitution and wiped his tail with it. We need to decide that enough is enough. The other argument I hear is that because of the Republicant controlled congress it just wouldn't happen. I think we may have finally reached the straw that breaks them too. Repubs joined the dems in fillibustering the patriot act - they may just surprise you and join in impeachment too. This is a blatantly criminal act that needs to be redressed. We must demand that our lawmakers remove this criminal from the oval office. Before the riech marches into all our homes and puts us against the wall. . .

Why I do not believe that an impeachment of President Bush would compare to President Clinton is this: President Bush firmly believes his actions are in order with protecting American citizens, which in fact IS his constitutional duty, DuWayne.
President Clinton's actions could have compromised national security! The two are not even comparable, my friend.
Clinton had an affair and lied about it - nobody dead. Bush manipulated intelligence to get us to war - 102,000+ dead - uncounted terrorists created. Then we find he broke the law, committed a felony, let me repeat, felony to spy on Americans when he could get those pesky warrents up to 72 hours after the taps been placed. He has lied to the American people damn near every time he opens his mouth and has decimated our national security. Funds to protect Americas ports of call ending up in Montana. This man has destroyed our national security to provide a trough to feed Haliburton and many other repub supporters our tax dollars. He needs to go to prison after he is removed from office which he likely will. I am not a Clinton fan but he did nothing to compromise national security - he had an affare - not that I approve but I promise you he isn't the first prez to do so - or lie abnout it.
I am not talking about the affair, but the implications of having a trist in the Oval Office, in a compromising postition with a woman who could have been a spy. Think about it.
She was a white house intern vetted by the secret service with access to the oval office. Besides which she was a little busy while she was in the oval office anyways. She could have been a spy I suppose but she would be no more likely to be than anyone else working in the white house. . .
