Red State Rebels: No To Bush Impeachment
Here’s how Julie/Red State Rebels replied to a fellow Idaho Dem who forwarded an email link to an “Impeach Bush” site:
No way … I emphatically disagree with this, as do most of our Democratic leaders including Speaker-to-Be Pelosi and DNC chair Howard Dean. Instead, we must achieve some major policy accomplishments for the American people. Raise the minimum wage and offer incentives to companies that create good jobs. Pass legislation to advance alternative energy. Start work toward more comprehensive health-care coverage. Find a way to get our troops home from Iraq and start making real progress against international terrorism, instead of making it worse. Americans did not elect Democrats to get mired in a year of impeachment hearings that would leave us with … President Cheney?! Americans elected a Dem majority to start getting something done after siix years of incompetence and corruption. If we can make some positive advances in the first months of the 110th Congress, then and only then would it be worthwhile to take some punitive measures against Bush. But I believe even that would be a waste of time. George W. Bush is now a lame duck whom history will judge most unkindly. America has many more urgent priorities than booting his sorry butt from the White House — Julie In Boise.
Question: What would happen if the new Democratic majority tried to impeach President Bush for leading the country into war in Iraq?
