I really doubt every one who said they want Bush to be impeached really know what to impeach means.

Maybe. Seeing as how politics is a game to some people, they probably do know that "rule", though.

The poll found that 50% agreed with the statement:

"If President Bush did not tell the truth about his reasons for going to war with Iraq, Congress should consider holding him accountable by impeaching him."

44% disagreed, and 6% said they didn't know or declined to answer. The poll has a +/- 3.1% margin of error.

Those who agreed with the statement were also more passionate: 39% strongly agreed, while 30% strongly disagreed.

"The results of this poll are truly astonishing," said AfterDowningStreet.org co-founder Bob Fertik. "Bush's record-low approval ratings tell just half of the story, which is how much Americans oppose Bush's policies on Iraq and other issues. But this poll tells the other half of the story - that a solid plurality of Americans want Congress to consider removing Bush from the White House."

Your thread title is spurious and dishonest.

Not something Im suprised at - but at the very least you could take the time to APPEAR intellectually honest.

Grasping at straws now, eh?

I dunno if the guy should be impeached.... The way I see it, is that bush was trying to do what was best for America. Can we really blame him for that? If anyone of us were up there, we would try to do what we think is best. Now the fact that I disagree with about everything he says/does, etc is another story. However, if you are going to impeach the president for lieing, then half of the presidents in US history shouldve been impeached. After all, being the president is all about telling the public what the want to hear, not necessarily what is the truth.

The Bush family has been about doing what is best for the Bush family, for several generations, not about what is best for America. Granpa Bush was a banker for the Nazis. I wouldn't trust a Bush to do anything except lie, cheat or steal.

See, we agree on some things.

Lets just say...Bush is not exactly FDR who basically solved the Depression while the republicans were just going by what they knew and hoover found out they're incapable of handling such a crisis with a conservative standpoint.

Anyways...really you can't argue against Bush until you see someone else handle a similar situation, but it sure doens't seem to be working well.

you do know pyro, that politics these days isn't even about liberals vs. conservatives? Its more of statism vs. freedom. Both liberals and conservatives are for more laws. we don't need more laws.

>>Bush is not exactly FDR who basically solved the Depression while the republicans were just going by what they knew and hoover found out they're incapable of handling such a crisis with a conservative standpoint.

Jesus. He "solved" the Depression. WWII "solved" the Depression PYRO - christ.

As for what FDR did to capitalize on this - packing the courts with Pro-Democrat Judges, and creating a system of socialism that has now come back to bite the US squarely in the ass. Oh yes PYRO - he sure solved our problems.

Better off than not even being allowed to voice opinions in public without the secret security on your ass?
