I really believe that the Senate already has the votes to convict on any impeachment of the President and vice-president. The spineless, liberal distinguished Senators on the Republican side give only occasional, lukewarm, bitterly coerced support to the war against terrorism, often subject to severely restrictive constraints like the terrorist bill of rights and conditioned upon ruinously enormous pork-barrel kickbacks to their campaign contributors.

After the Democrats sack the House and impeach Cheney then Bush, the distinguished Senate Republicans--overwhelmingly liberal RINOs already--will cast their lots with their distinguished Democratic comrades under intense establishment-media influence. In previous biennia, a telephone call from Karl Rove or some other Republican political operative might remind these spineless but distinguished RINO Senators that their reelection depended critically upon the perception that they support Bush. A Democrat triumph and the attendant media circus will convince distinguished RINO Senators (that's most of 'em) that conservatism has passed thoroughly discredited into the dustbin of history and that their careers depend upon their embrace of liberalism.

Does POTUS really need Senate approval to pick a VP? IIRC, that (like picking a new SCOTUS judge) requires the Prez to submit the nominee for evaluation, but the Constitution doesn't actually require approval. The Prez has to say "what do ya think of Mr. X" ... but can follow that up with "TS, Mr. X gets the job, like it or not." Senate merely gets to weigh in on the matter.

It takes a majority vote of both houses to approve a presidential nomination in a VP vacancy.

all kidding aside-a hillary clinton/nancy pelosi team running the white house and house of reps would probably start a civil war as soon as they tried to seize privately owned firearms-i'm not blowing off steam-there is a serious agenda backed by george soros and being pushed by ted kennedy,chuck schumer,pelosi,clinton,feinstein,boxer,conyers,and the rest of their cohorts to do just this-i don't think they have any idea the anger they would unleash when they try-i hope this never comes to pass,but it could-let's hope bush gets to appoint two more supreme court justices and that ginsburg and stevens have to leave their posts for whatever reason-that would give the country a chance at least

Doug, you mean her eyebrows weren't always halfway to her crown?

Ah, you Californians... somebody needs to tell Nasty Nancy, having some doctor make you look like a refugee from a circus sideshow does not equal eternal youth. More like very ill-fitting old age in her case.

d.o.l.

"Doooom Dooom! Nancy as speaker, Hillary as President! Be sheep to us! Dooom! Dooom!...Dooom, doom! Liberals won't say what their agenda is! Doom! Dooom! Then again, half the time, neither will our side."

ROFLMAO! Unfortunately, they usually WILL state their entire agenda, but only the part they actually feel like passing is their 'mandate.' Meanwhile the rest of the 'agenda' is subject to the ol' "just a few more Republicans and THEEEEN we'll be able to pass that" line and the "we can't afford to spend political capital on an item like that when we have (insert distraction issue here)!" line.

Starting with the 2000 election, Democrats have been striking at the very foundation of our nation's prosperity and security: The method we use to determine our government.

With Gore's ridiculous attempts at overturning the election, and now what looks to become an election-year tradition of routinely claiming our elections are fixed and should be challenged, the security that marks the US as the palce to invest and rely upon is being degraded.

The Clinton impeachment should NOT have been about Lewinski--it should have been about China, about lies, about missing files, about FBI files, and many other things. The Lewinski thing should have been just part of it. Whatever I think about the matter--he should have resigned over lying under oath--the fact is most people believe it was "just about sex".

Now we hear incessant droning about Bush being Hitler, failure in Iraq, secret prisons, etc.

ALL of this is meant to weaken the very things that make the US what it is--the best-defended, most secure, most powerful nation on Earth.

If the Democrats win both houses in this election, George W. Bush will be removed from office. If they win only the House, George W. Bush will be impeached, though perhaps not removed from office.

If the Democrats win both houses, it is possible but not as likely that Dick Cheney may also be tossed out of office.

What all of this will do is show that in a ten-year period, the US will have had anywhere from one to three impeached presidents. We will be seen as about as stable as a Third World nation. And next election, who knows what will happen, what either side will be forced to do to deal with the results of this one.

Go ahead and flame away, but we casually call names at anyone who dares warn of what could very wello happen after a Democrat win in the next election. But we are veering perilously close to the toppling of our government's security, and thus our nation's. We will have a government made up of the dregs of both parties nickering while our economic stability erodes, foreign investment retreats, jobs vanish, our retirement accounts evaporate, etc.

Now imagine the moves the terrorists, NK, Iran, China will make.

I'm not being hysterical. I'm being realistic.

You need conviction too. By 67 Senators. It isn't happening. I know this will rile up the gullable, but it isn't happening. It's hyperbole. Democrats will have a maximum of 52 seats in the Senate if EVERYTHING goes their way. So, the democrats including Ben Nelson, Salazar, Joe Lieberman, and 15 Republican Senators are all going to vote to impeach Bush to put Pelosi in charge.

Tell that to the ghost of Richard Nixon.

I have a case of tylenol in my basement - just in case.

They say suicide with tylenol is quick and painless.

The Commie Democraps are going to try to impeach Bush if they gain control of congress. This would really p!ss off the commies. Cheney should resign, and the President should appoint Ann Coulter Vice President.
