Left Will Try to Impeach Bush on Abu Ghraib September 16, 2004

I want you to keep an eye on this, folks. I have been warning you. Many people have been asking me, "What's the left going to do when they lose the election?"

I want you to keep an eye on this, folks. I have been warning you. Many people have been asking me, "What's the left going to do when they lose the election?" And I know many of you think, well, they're going to realize they've been screwing up and change their ways and we'll have less partisanship and blah, blah. (Laughing). My friends, that's wishful thinking. Ain't going to happen. They haven't suffered enough yet. Their losses aren't enough to hammer home reality to them yet.
If Bush wins this election, I guarantee you the first thing, substantively, the left will do is try to impeach him, and they'll do so on the basis of what happened at Abu Ghraib. And that's why I want you to keep an eye on this because this story, this is the latest story from the Associated Press: "Suggesting the government was acting as if it had something to hide, a federal judge Wednesday gave Washington one month to release records related to the treatment of prisoners in Iraq. U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein chastised officials for moving at a 'glacial pace' in responding to nearly year-old Freedom of Information Act requests from the American Civil Liberties Union and four other watchdog organizations. 'If the documents are more of an embarrassment than a secret, the public should know of our government's treatment of individuals captured and held abroad,' Hellerstein wrote. 'We are a nation that strives to value the dignity of all humanity.'
"The groups brought a lawsuit in June, saying they wanted to expose the treatment of detainees. Hellerstein said though the government had raised 'important issues' of national security as a reason for the delays, 'merely raising national security concerns cannot justify unlimited delay.' Megan L. Gaffney, a spokeswoman for federal prosecutors in New York, declined to comment. Jameel Jaffer, an ACLU lawyer, was heartened by the action."
Just keep a sharp eye on this, folks, because this is where they're going to go if they lose the election. You think they're just gonna sit back and say, "Okay, well, Bush is a lame duck. Let's go ahead and try to stall him as much as they can until we get Hillary elected." Ain't gonna happen. There is not widespread hatred for George Bush among the American people. There is among the power base of the American left today and they will do whatever they can to get this guy thrown out of office.
END TRANSCRIPT
I think Rush has his future sight goggles on again. And, we know he's never wrong on these predictions (well, less than 5% of the time).
um in order for this to happen they would need THE VOTES. Last time I checked they were powerless.
Exactly. No way a GOP house is going to bring impeachment charges against Bush. And certainly 2/3 of the Senate will not go along. Out of the question.
Someone might try, but that act will destroy the Democratic Party because it will fail, and it will make the Democrats look bad... even if they don't support it.
Good thing we have the House and they don't.
After this election, the Democrats are going to have to ask permission for bathroom trips in the House of Representative.
The are certainly not going to get anywhere near an impeachment vote.
Just let em try!!!!!
Yep. I think Rush is over-reacting on this one.
Bring it on, and on, and on...
Last time I looked, the Republican majority was powerless to do squat. I can just picture the Dems going into more filibusters until the congressional Republicans cave in as they have on loads of things these past two years.
If Bush wins this next election, and I say if because I don't want to jinx it, I truly hope the Dems keep up their downward spiral of stupidity. The more crazed they sound, the more they lose, then the more crazed they sound and so on and so on and soooo on.
I'm sure this will be about as successful as Arnold Schwarzennegar's impeachment.
They'd better win control of the House by a wide margin.
Correct, but he's right in that the left will go bazooka @ss bonkers after they lose.
I was hoping that the Democrat politicians were going to join their base and move to Canada/Europe. Hard to impeach from abroad.
Frankly, I dare them to try. It will be the final nail in their coffin of irrelevancy if they do.
At that point, to quote Vic Deakins from the movie Broken Arrow, "f*** 'em if they can't take a joke." (BOOP BEEP BIP)
hey, where the hell is Daschle, he would be saddened if he were visible, ....OH, he's trying to get re-elected! Please, sweet Lord, John Thune could use your help right now...

Oh yeah, they'll be lashing out wildly. That's going to be the fun part.
That is, I think, exactly the point Rush is making here. And, don't be suprised if this isn't tried by these whackos.
Small problem: Republicans have all the guns (c8
Only there is no filibuster in the house...it is only in the Senate..as long as the GOP holds the house..there will be no impeachment..the whole thing is silly...
At a minimum, they will seek to indict Rumsfeld.
I don't fist-fight. I don't know how. The only moves I do know, I learned in the Marines--and employing them would be classified as "attempted murder," or "assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm."
If that were my daughter, I'd use those moves.
With the RATs, it is not a matter of ethics or outcome. The only thing that matters to the scum is the dog and pony show.
They will at least file articles of impeachment. Let's see, they've got abu grahaib, Texas redristricting, hurricanes in Florida, picking on Dan Rather....There's lots of charges they could make.
But that is not what worries me. What worries me is that they are SO unhinged that some will resort to the Mohammed-Malvo example of political protest. I believe that there is a small but fanatic cabal of Neo-hippies reading up on the Weather Underground right now.
OK, now who is holding my tin foil hat?
NO BLOOD FOR KETCHUP!
I know they like street theater, and it would make their nutcase base happy, but politically I think it would be disastrous.
You have a point, SJ. The charges may be made up, but the "thrust" of them will have to be answered. And I'm sure Rather would give such an action the most balanced coverage.
I'm seriously concerned about leftists rioting after the election. I think they're insane enough.
Someone give me a good idea for when I drive that way again. They are always there.

They will be disappointed when their candidate loses, but they are likely to be shocked at the degree to which they have lost as well.
If Nixon was alive, you could ask him how the media got even last time this happened. If Bush wins again, epecially if it's a clear, no doubt about it win, look for the media to do everything in their power to bring him down like they did Nixon.

Or before. NPR had a frightening thing on last weekend. It was the left enmasse screaming and yelling. I told my husband then that there was going to be violence soon. They sounded like a third world country.
What fool would do that to a little girl?
Well, the Liberal Establishment Elitists may attempt this (I see "Impeach Bush" stickers on cars a lot in Seattle, but they mostly pre-date Abu Ghraib) but The Base - the whackjob freaks out there - are gonna be violently angry, and it may be messy...
It would be called natural selection
Am I the only one who seems to think that we're on the brink of a civil war, or at least some very serious civil unrest, within the next decade or so.
So long as we hold the Senate (likely) and the House (very likely) it is doubtful they'll make progress from these avenues unless they could blackmail enough Republicans to fold.
Look to the Judiciary for trouble.
Prayer
and lots of "putting our legs to our prayers"
is ESSENTIAL the rest of Bush's 8 year term.
I'm even more concerned that the puppet masters will try something more sinister
. . . Fosterization.
And,
SKERRY IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BAD, part of me is still wary that Bush is being deliberately set up as the fall guy
for some list of horrors the puppet masters have planned a year or two into Bush's new term . . . as a way to force the global government on the USA and the world sooner than later.
Every time I see that photo...ach...what I wouldn't give to get that union thug alone for 5 minutes.
My prediction when Bush wins: days of rioting at home and abroad, followed by calls from major world leaders for Bush to step down to stop the violence.
Will never happen! Most Americans know that the enemy we are fighting today believe in terror and torture. That is all they do! So, giving some back to them to get them to talk might not be a bad idea! Especially when their talking gives us information to help keep American troops safer! I believe most Americans feel this way too. I believe the Democratic Party is dying and that will certainly help our Country!
