The Unimpeachable USA http://www.progressive.org/mag_zinn0406 http://www.rjgeib.com/heroes/truman/truman.html http://www.geocities.com/Pentagon/6315/truman.html Eisenhower was a liar and a murderer http://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/article.asp?id=136 
There are many reasons to why impeachment has not been tabled. Some fear a backdoor deal was made with Bush that Pelosi and Reid won't impeach if he will not attack Iran, now that Russia has sent its first nuclear fuel to Iran in getting their nuclear power plant up and running.
Some fear the inability to achieve success, since throughout American history no President has ever been successfully impeached. There have been three, Andrew Johnson, the 17th, Richard M. Nixon the 37th and William J. Clinton, the 42nd who have had articles of impeachment brought against them in the house.
Let's take a read of the examples that have gone before session, and compare the egregiousness of them to the present Bush Administration. Responsible Republicans must know that accountability to Law is the foremost prerequisite in maintaining legitimacy and favorable world opinion, along with keeping their jobs with the voting public.
The thought that President GW Bush would spend tax dollars beyond the scope of budgetary constraint as he is doing in making impeachment unaffordable is a clue in itself that he is doing this because he has broken the law, and he intends to make sure no one is able to fix it. He thinks by creating huge deficits for the allocating of money to it becomes a highly exhausted attempt.
We can see that all 3 executed and failed impeachments were after a time of war. Johnson the Vice President to Lincoln took over after the Civil War, stepping in after Lincoln was assassinated.
Richard Nixon was impeached when the door of the Vietnam War was closing and ending, having gained the reputation as being the President who ended the Vietnam War.
And then there is Bill Clinton who was impeached after the Gulf War, yet really from a surprise inquiry when allegations to his sexual misconduct appeared when he was Governor of Arkansas; by Paula Jones. Linda Tripp a friend to Monica revealed his relationship of Monica Lewinsky to Paula Jones prosecutors who questioned Clinton; and which he adamantly lied about. He was caught when her dress contained his DNA evidence. And so impeachment proceedings went forward because of his sex lie, a lie that is far personal in nature and less damaging than other lies told by other prior sitting Presidents.
Now lets take a look at the lies of other sitting Presidents. In fact it is quite astonishing. The pattern I see and I think you will agree is that Presidents who have been impeached are all based on flimsy grounds, actually minor grounds of deceit. And I mean this from the view that most other Presidents lies had to deal with the taking of human lives, yet the 3 failed impeachments had nothing to do with taking lives, other than Nixon's secret Cambodian bombings, which were linked to Vietnam. Yet Nixon did end the Vietnam War.
Harry Truman was a liar

Remove the Cancer and the body will recover
I had not heard about Pelosi using illegals in the vinyards. I think they are doing the wrong things although there is no certainty in why. It is a criminal obstruction of Justice, a failure of Duty, possibly TREASON to stand in the way of Impeachment when the High Crimes are so overwhelming. It will only get worse if they do not take out the head and exhibit that we are strong enough to handle it. Should we run off the top two I really think this would be healing for our nation. It would ease the fear in developing nations. I like Ron Paul. I really think if we defund our covert activity against other nations especially ones that seem to honor democratic principles we would promote a better world. We should convert as fast as possible to the use of wind power and the production of liquid Hydrogen from the wind power. We could produce turbines for the global conversion. We could promote a healthy, Peace Loving World. We could do this by promoting a very religious based philosophy (Love thy Neighbor) rather then rule by force. We could spend some of the budgetary savings on repairing and improving our transportation system. We could convert our aging rail system to a faster, safer means of transporting freight and passengers. We could create so many jobs in the united states that we could increase Legal imigration to help fill the void rather then the current wave of illegals used by those who disregard law and seek to exploit workers by putting a downward pressure on wages and supporting the lawlessness of illegal imigration. Our lawmakers consider themselves as nobles. They feel above the common law. They would rather create a War on drugs and infringe on rights of citizens while they are covertly aiding in the smuggling of drugs into our country and protecting the criminals in their employ who do the footwork. The reason we have a W excessively expanding executive power is because of the Nixon Pardon. Had that leader been held accountable for his crimes which are miniscule compared to W's then this expansion of power never would have been played out. It has been a major goal in the life of Dick Cheney to expand the unitary executive thought into a reality. They must be impeached. They will resign before they are removed, but for the sake of the country they must be held acountable for their crimes even if they have to be turned over to an international court. by Sleeper (1 articles, 1 quicklinks, 14 diaries, 312 comments [6 recommended, 0 rejected]) on Sunday, Dec 23, 2007 at 11:00:11 AM  (0+)

Reply: SLEEPER
You are correct on all of your assertions. We sent those people to washington for a purpose, and it appears that Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid are hindering that purpose, Before we attempt the goals you posted, including indictments against Chaney, and Bush we must work on removing pelosi, and Reid. I liked Pelosi, until I realized where she really stood by GUY P. FRASER (0 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 72 comments [4 recommended, 0 rejected]) on Monday, Dec 24, 2007 at 3:18:37 PM (0+)

Impeach for the Economy
That's right Sleeper. We need to impeach from the inside and the outside meaning get John Conyers to work against Pelosi. She is corrupted and needs to change her course. We also need one of the Presidential candidates or more than one to begin supporting impeachment. So far none have said a word. It is quite disturbing. How are they going to deal with the crimes this administration has committed? Are they for the rule of law or not? If they ignore it, as they all have; it is a sure clue they are part of the Bush snow blindness, corruption heading in the obvious wrong direction. I think Impeachment will help the economy. A new confidence will emerge, and people will begin to have faith that America as overcome the worse. But impeachment has to be successful. We need a conviction, and I certainly do not see why it won't stick in this case. People are defaulting on mortgages and not paying credit cards at an alarming rate. They have loss confidence in the American direction. In fact the economy is not controlled by the Fed. They may think they control it with increasing rates or lower them, but that has nothing to do with the confidence factor, or the peoples personal objective. They don't want to support a war President. They are not going to work for it. So activity stops. With Global Warming hovering over them, they are secure in their ideas to not support this administration. But when we Impeach for the Economy the whole conditon will change. Jobs will appear in stopping Global Warming, and people will know their efforts will not be about supporting Bush and the WAR machine. They just don't want it. I DON"T WANT IT. Goodness is not about WAR. And the Economy is not about WAR. So Candidates better get tuned in, because even now they are drueling idiots that have no real clue of the real America.
