Well said: " This has been the Party of Treason strategy since 2001. "

DEMOCRATS = TRAITORS - say it loud and clear.

If you remember, GHWB (41) was nervous about impeachment after the Gulf War.

No he wasn't. The only person, (and I mean the ONLY person) talking impeachment was crazy Henry B. Gonzales D-TX who was already suffering from advanced dementia.

Don't go looking for something you're not going to be glad you found.

Quote: "GWB is probably the most hated President since Lincoln."

First off, then Bush is in excellent company. Secondly, Lincoln, as unpopular as he was, still won re-election and survived politically. Bottom line, no party has ever won a damn thing by being "anti-war" during a war (even when that war is unpopular).

GHWB was nervous about impeachment, I've seen the interview where he stated so. That is why they had a vote in the Seante and that is why he spent so much time building such an overwhelming coalition.

"The 2006 election is shaping up to be a bitterly fought referendum on President Bush - to the point where, if Democrats win, they just might impeach him."

It is quite clear we simply have a bunch of spoiled brats, looking for something to do. 100% of this kind of action is directly related to the events of the Clinton administration(do you think they've been humiliated?). Someone, has carefully orchestrated all the chaos our country has seen in recent months(Is that spoiled brat behavior, or what?). Could the lack of participation by eligible AMERICAN voters be the cause for this?--Evil flourishes when good men do nothing, and that is what has happened. Since our media has become quite spineless along with many political leaders, voting is all that's left. If most people still refuse to exercise their voting voice(for any lame excuse they choose to dig up), then our people will lose that right. And we're ALL to blame, if that happens.

I think this hate of our President began during the campaign when each candidate running for the Republican nomination was asked who their favorite author was, some said Mark Twain, others named famous authors, Candidate Bush asnwered Jesus Christ. The MSM was flabergasted, the dems snickered behind their hands. The audacity of someone mentioning our Lord as a famous author and a favorite one was beyond their capacity. There the tunnel of hate was begun...

Nixon was hated for decades before he became president, but not at this level.
One of the reasons GWB is so hated is because they lost the House in 94, and thought it was only a matter of time before they regained control. They think THEY belong in power, and can't deal with the thought that perhaps they don't.

You keep forgetting, Dims don't care if they are caught in a lie. History for them starts when they want it to and it doesn't matter about the facts IT IS ONLY ABOUT THE ACCUSATION! Say it loud enough and people begin to believe it.

I'm sure there are a lot of people who would retreat from your line here and call it hyperbole, etc. I would argue, however, that if the Dems attempt this, it would be no different than an attempted coup: the overthrow of a legally elected President. And, that's not hyperbole...

Not hyperbole. I feel very strongly that the country is teetering on the thin edge of civil war as the majority of the Dems and (many in the) GOP have moved closer to the extreme elements that were once called "kooks" and now called "base". Clinton was impeached for lying while under oath...Bush has done nothing of the sort, and if the RATs do pull off an illegal impeachment it will mean that we have no voice in our electorial process, no democratic order, no government: IOW Something worth fighting for!

Re: your #3:
Methinks you're too optimistic about who will pick up arms first.

An impeachment trial on "Bush lied" won't happen: far too many Democrats are on record advocating overthrowing Saddam, Congress lawfully approved the war with significant Democratic support (including Hillary), and general lying (even if true) is not exactly a viable charge against a politician.

The real problem is that there is a large leftist contingent that is whipping itself into an aboslute frenzy, absolutely forcused on ejecting Bush - by any means necessary. These are people who hate the 2nd Amendment, but who will have no qualms about exercising that right (in a very wrong way) when they, in not too long, decide that no other viable option exists.

I occasionally listen to Air America. They are seething with fury at Bush, having changed the "Bush lied" mantra from an addressable/debatable charge to to an unquestionable axiom. There is no debate with them, they have dubbed Bush a criminal, fear for their nation, decided he must be removed, and feel they cannot make progress in lawful means of removal. I am concerned about their choice for their next steps - and it won't take many to make that choice to make things, um, interesting.

They're just looking for a leader and a line. Rue the day they find 'em.

"I'm sure there are a lot of people who would retreat from your line here and call it hyperbole"

That's what they called it and worse when we all gathered in front of the Vice President's mansion and told the Gorons to "Get out of Cheney's house".

We are not so far away as all that from making the point with arms in my most humble opinion.

Translation:

"We're Democrats and we're so stupid that a colossal idiot like George W. Bush tricked all of us into supporting the Iraq War."

I have no problem with their seething anger, tirades, or temper rages...I do have a problem with a legally elected president being impeached over a bogus charge (Bush has not lied under oath nor suborned perjury, i.e. Clinton; nor participated in obstruction of justice, i.e. Nixon).

Notice that the rhetoric and attacks have greatly increased ever since Alito was nominated and it was clear almost immediately that the 'Rats have no chance to stop him. The 'Rats have lost the House, the Senate and the White House; their last and most important bastion, the Courts, is now in danger of falling as well. They are DESPERATE to regain power, and would lose the WOT if necessary to get back in.

They hate GWB because he's kicked their sorry asses out of the seats of power. Sucks to be a 'Rat.

Newspapers also have quoted Rep. Maurice Hinchey (D-N.Y.) as saying that "this administration has committed more impeachable offenses than any other government in history" and Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) as saying that "lying to the Congress about a large public purpose such as Iraq" fit the constitutional test of "high crimes and misdemeanors" better than lying about sex, the offense that led Republicans to impeach former President Bill Clinton.

Hey Zoe, the "lying about sex" was under oath...and is called perjury in most courtrooms--an impeachable offense!

No, I haven't forgotten that at all . . . . . . but they have. And, they have also forgotten that the voters won't forget in '08 if we go through another expensive impeachment that ends up being nothing more than another immature Dim "tit-for-tat" scheme.
