It makes no sense as far as the Dem political strategy goes. They have more power with the "bad guys" in office. Right?
What do you think?
More poll nonsense. The Dems can try impeachment. They will get the bill on election day 2008.
50% of the people are Democrats. What did you expect?
I say : IMPEACH CONGRESS!
He was a local Republican legislator who abruptly quit politics a number of years back.
He has set himself up as a sort of Bill Shipp-type (he wishes) political commentator over the last few years. But he's all over the place with a lot of odd ideas, many of them liberal and anti-Republican.
If anybody knows why he quit, speak up!
Um, consider the source. Raiders News Network? InsiderAdvantage/Majority Opinion poll? Yep, I believe that “nearly 40% of Americans” figure, uh huh...
The only thing the poll shows is that the Democrats want Pelosi as President. If they did impeach the President, they may as well turn our country over to our enemy.
“The survey of 621 registered voters has been weighted for age, race, gender and political affiliation. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percent.”
Should read:
“The survey of 621 registered New York registered Democratic voters has been over-weighted for elimination of anyone over the age of 45, of the white race, male heterosexual gender and conservative political affiliation. The poll has a no real margin of error but just for grits and shins we’ll tell you it’s something along the lines of plus or minus 4 percent.”
you’ve summed it up nicely..
Sounds like some lefties wet dream.

Electrician -- I really did consider the source (believe me, I know better than to post a crappy source here at FR). I couldn't find anything definitive.
So, then I looked up the author. He has some credibility. So, I took a chance and posted it. But I honestly don't get it -- since it makes no sense for Dems to get behind this.
The information provided about this "poll" is specious. We don't know where - are these people national? Or are they all in San Francisco? What kind of weighting was done? And how do they know how to weight the data? Did they weight the data according to their own bias? Is the number of participants statistically significant? How many people were asked to participate, but refused? Given the theory that conservatives hang up on these pollsters more often than radicaleftists, was the data weighted to reflect this? How did they calculate the probability of error?
The fact is, this poll, as with the vast majority of polls, represents the sponsor's desired outcome. It may or may not have any bearing on reality.
The sponsor intends the poll to affect opinion, rather than report on it.
AAM, I looked him up. He seems to be all over the place, editorially. I'm still looking and will get back to you.
Nancy Pelosi is (supposedly) very angry with Kucinich for re-proposing it, since it has been (supposedly) taken off the table.
This is one more tactic by the Dems and their Left-wing puppet masters, to undermine the Republicans, and the country. They will play up the number for impeachment rather than admit the number against. And the American people won’t put two and two together. They won’t see the greater number against.
Moreover, I know that rank and file antiwar folks, some of whom I count as friends, are 100% sincere in their belief that a grievous betrayal of the American people has taken place, and I respect that they must follow through on their convictions.
I even have sympathy for the symbolic calls for impeachment of this President for signing the Campaign Finance Reform Act, a pornographically unconstitutional law. Candidate Bush had vowed unequivocally to veto CFR for exactly the right reasons. And he didn't.
All that said, in my opinion, the segment of the American people who countenance impeachment over the invasion of Iraq are exercising terrible judgement.
