Um, Mr. Bush? It seems obvious to me that you are in the fight of your life, a fight for your political life. Your whole concept of a new tone and working with the Democrats was a really bad idea.

You need to learn that you've got to fight these b@st@rds tooth and nail. Otherwise, you're going to get stabbed in the back, and the whole country will lose because of it. You owe it to all of us (not just conservatives, but mushy moderates and liberals, too) to fight back, and fight back HARD. We all lose if you're impeached for nothing. All of us.

Republicans in Congress have been disgusting, but I don't think they'd go so far as to vote to impeach the President.

If you remember, GHWB (41) was nervous about impeachment after the Gulf War. This is all about payback for Clintoon's impeachment. Rush predicted this back after GWB's election.

First of all, this as well as the next Supreme Court vacancy is exactly why we need to stand behind the President and the GOP in both the House and Senate.

All of the petty bickering and fracturing on the Right is going to flush our hopes right down the toilet. If the GOP does not maintain and increase their majority in the Senate, then that 5th vote on the Supreme Court will never happen. If Democrats get even a simple majority in the House they will impeach the President, and any Republican president who follows, so long as they have the power to do so. That is what the Democrats have become.

Of course, Clinton proved that impeachment doesn't matter. Bush would not be removed by the Senate, no matter what happens. The Senate can't muster 66 votes for anything, much less something as controversial and divisive as impeachment.

If Mort is talking about this, we need to pay heed. He isn't prone to hysterical proclamations.

What we do next year will decide whether or not we finish the deal in Iraq and change the world.

If we do not win, or if House and Senate Republican's go soft and continue to try and curry favor with the Dems on any level, we may very well end up creating earthly hell in the ME. Which ironically, will be blamed on President Bush.

WE MUST WIN. All other disagreements aside. We are not playing patty cake here.

What hand?

The game is rigged when the MSM deals the cards. If they somehow manage impeachment hearings... convene another kangaroo court... the poker-table is 'gonna get kicked over.

After watching the antics of Charlie Bass and his gang of Soros-funded "moderates", I'm not so sure of that any more.

Blaming Bush for this at this point is unfair.

One guy, taking on his own party, the opposition party and the big jerks in the press all by himself is a virtually impossible task. He has made mistakes.

But to be honest, if you go back and read all the speeches he has given that are completely ignored by the press unless they are outrageous you will see that it is hard to yell over the din of the mob.

He needs our help, not our blame at this juncture. There will be time for that later.

I was speaking in a qualitative sense. What I meant to say that his opponents hate him with every fiber of their being. Those who hate him, absolutely LOATHE him. I did not mean to say that people in general hated the guy, dont get me wrong. I think "more people" like GWB.

There are similar Clinton haters, certainly on FR, but I bet the visceral haterd of GWB goes much further in the Left than the hatred of Clinton did back in the day..

.......it's clear that Democrats are eagerly searching for "smoking guns" - positive proof that Bush deceived Congress and/or that Cheney helped leak the name of CIA operative Valerie Plame..

It is frustated blind hate portrayed by frustated blind out- of -power democrats...

For all the "Bush lied" rhetoric, I've to date seen absolutely NO PROOF of such. The White House and GOPers in the House and Senate had BETTER release document after document and video after video of FOREIGN leaders and the UN from BEFORE the Bush presidency that state a firm belief of Saddam having WMD. That this whole "Bush lied" garbage has gotten as far as it has is ridiculous beyond words and the White House should have nipped all this in the bud months ago.

This is serious and it is hardball. That is why you see Cheney and Bush coming out swinging. I think the Alito fight and any nonsense about impeachment is just what we need.

Watch the Pflame case drop into oblivion as the story shifts to reporters being the source. If this trial balloon from Kerry and others goes anywhere it goes front and center with MSM. Remember this is what the kook fringe of the Left wants and this is who runs their Party. The idea of winning the House so they can impeach Bush - raises $$$ and turns out their base.

Welcome to FR. Good post. The leadership of the Democrats is one mean-spirited and corrupt group.
Speaking dishonestly comes as easily to them as breathing! What could you expect when they welcome, and allow, a criminal such as Ted Kennedy to be a spokesman for them. I have no respect for him nor those who share his dishonest, deceitful, and despicable lifestyle. I would vote to impeach and imprison him in a heartbeat!

I think this will happen anyway before the next elections. Some in 2006 and a lot more in 2008.

If Impeachment talk gains steam, this could backfire big time on the Democrats.

By all means, let's stir the pot. :) Welcome to FR.
