Today Holtzman is one of the leading voices in a small but energetic movement seeking to impeach not only President Bush but his vice president, Dick Cheney. In March, the Massachusetts Democratic Party joined 13 others, in states like California, Nevada, and New Hampshire, in passing a resolution in support of impeachment. The legislatures of nearly 80 towns and cities (most in Massachusetts, Vermont, and California) have passed similar resolutions, and state legislators in 11 states have introduced impeachment bills.
But given how controversial and deeply unpopular the administration has become, it is surprising how little mainstream political traction the movement has gained. Polls show the public does not think impeachment should be a priority. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has repeatedly declared impeachment to be "off the table," and even Congress's most liberal members oppose the idea. It is a sign, say many, that the nation's most vivid memories of impeachment are of the deeply divisive Clinton proceedings, not the Nixon drama that eventually allowed the country to heal.
The fact that we are not actively moving toward impeaching this President is almost unimaginable to me. He has broken every rule that his office is supposed to uphold, not to mention innumerable laws.
He lies, he spies, and he denies.
He, and his cabinet, act as if they are above the law, and so far they have been proven right. If the Democrats think they can stop him by simply arguing that he is wrong about things they have not been paying attention. He does not give a fuck what they think. He is going to do whatever he wants until somebody takes his power away. And so far it has been reduced but not removed.
I do not believe there is any President in history more deserving of impeachment then George W. Bush. (And yes that includes Nixon.)
Nixon looks like a pretty good president compared to Dubya...and how sad is that... and we KNOW , I who hates Nixon would Never say such a thing.....unless it was true...painful as it is..
