" You know, it is apparent that there are more than just a few people here reacting emotionally instead of rationally. There is enough blame on BOTH sides of the aisle to go around. The reason Bill Clinton had an impeachable offense is because by doing as he did, he denied someone else their day court. Fact is, she probably would have lost anyway. His crime was just as serious as Scooter Libby's in this regard. You can't shut out people who disagree with you, and that goes for BOTH sides. "

" I can't speak for anyone else, but I just can't type the presidential surname anymore. It's an affliction which succeeded the compulsion to press the mute button whenever he appears on TV with his lips moving. He's self-identified as "the Decider", and, while that's arguable, it's the only one of his words at which I take him. "

" "Deciding" is ok as it implies that one thinks about their decision and uses all available facts to reach their decison. Bush Deciders. He doesn't look at facts or listen to reason. He just goes on gut instinct and religious delusion. Most importantly, he doesn't think. "

Devil's Advocate wrote on Apr 24, 2007 9:55 AM:

" What's with all the "Decidering" comments? You don't want a decisive leader? Maybe you like a "leader" like Slick Willy who just looked at the poll of the day and then chose that option? "

" "TO: BN Cynic & Delusional", hey genius, I'm talking about the 2006 elections. You know, the ones where the Republicans lost control of the House and the Senate? Looking forward to January 2009. "

" "I did not have sexual relations with that woman" vs. "Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa." Which lie was more harmful? Or, to keep it to Dick Cheney, how about "This is Al Qaeda operating in Iraq. And as I say, they were present before we invaded Iraq." Can you spot the difference between the first lie and the second two? Give up? The first lie was personally irresponsible and was hurtful to the marriage of two people. The second two lies are responsible for the deaths of thousands of Americans (and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis,) let alone the waste of countless amounts of money, the tainting of our national credibility throughout the world, and an actual INCREASE in the recruitment levels of middle-eastern terrorists. So if anyone deserves to be impeached for lying (and they do) I'd say it's our current top two. "

" The moderates didn't vote democratic- Left wingers hate Bush & Cheney so much they will do anything to push hate. The election is over GORE LOST-GET OVER IT.... Democrat's love to hate- CLINTON WAS IMPEACHED FOR LYING....( yes it was about sex ) Yes he still LIED... Isn't hate a great thing???? "

" What a joke- since when can you impeach people just because they don't do what you want them to do..... Democrat's will do anything to TAKE OVER the whitehouse... unlike when Clinton was Impeached BECAUSE HE LIED....... THE DUMBING OF AMERICA AT IT'S FINEST !!! "

" The congressman is the one who is delusional if he seriously thinks this ridiculous plan has a chance. At best, he is trying to make a point; at worst he is scheming to put his presidential campaign in the "upper tier" with Clinton, Obama and Edwards. I vote for the latter. "

" The divider not the decider. End the war now. Iran is no threat even though i'm sure they need a nuke just to protect themselves. Stop the occupation in the middle east. "

Delusional wrote on Apr 23, 2007 10:43 PM:

" Cheney is delusional, not to mention sinister ,arrogant and secretive. How do people still follow this nut after he said "the insurgency, if you will, is in its last throes". Then, there is the classic comment that the British are leaving Iraq because they have been so successful. He is so tied to bad ideology that he is dangerous. Unfortunately, he calls the policy shots for this inept administration. "

BN Cynic wrote on Apr 23, 2007 9:52 PM:

" So why did the moderates vote overwhelmingly Democrat this time around? If they supported the war and the Bush Regime, they'd have just voted Republican. "

to comment wrote on Apr 23, 2007 9:51 PM:

" I love it when Republicans point fingers at Clinton and Gore. You'd think after 6 years of Decidering, they'd be able to nail them with something! So put up or shut up. Your boys had plenty of time to nail the Clinton administration with something. "

The Intractable Fachna wrote on Apr 23, 2007 8:29 PM:

" Well, Cheney's removal WOULD be a necessary precondition to any proceedings against the Decider, but the votes aren't there. Just let them slink away on schedule, hoping no further damage is done. "

" Thank you. Every unhinged out of the mainstream noise the dems make will further assure a retake of congress and maintainence of the Presidency by the GOP in '08. Thank you. Please, keep supporting those nutcase lefty websites. As long as you keep encouraging them, they get nuttier. From pulling out of Iraq to impeachment, you are turning off the moderate 20% swing vote. Sure, 80% of them may disagree with the war, but they disagree more with their government being turned into a lefty cartoon. So goodbye and thanks for all the fish.... You and yours are unwittingly (very unWITtingly) assuring a 30 seat GOP turnaround and President Thompson, or Guiliani. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! "

" I really wish the members of congress would get around to spending time on issues that need attention rather than spending all their time on trying to figure out another angle to attack the Bush administration. Don't get me wrong, I don't agree with many issues that are troubling this administration, but I think alot of this b.s. that's going on in Washington is a waste of time and nothing but partisian politics. They can impeach all they want. Clinton stayed in office after he was impeached. It's a waste of time. "

Desperate attention bid wrote on Apr 23, 2007 7:16 PM:

" His 2004 presidential campaign went nowhere fast and there is little hope for his 2008 presidential campaign. This is a desperate attention bid. "

" What for now? Maybe Kucinich is the one that needs impeached. What good anyway would it do to impeach a vice president. Maybe we should have thought about that with Al Gore. I think he did some rather shady things with campaign finances, secret missle deals with Korea. You know something serious rather than something trumped up. How does Kucinich get elected anyway. Who votes for him? "

The Decider wrote on Apr 23, 2007 6:34 PM:

" Well, Cheney FAILED to server his country during VN when he got 5 bogus draft deferments...so let's not push the "served 40 years thing" too far. And, well...yeah he and Haliburton have made enough $$$ off this war and the Dumbya will pardon him.....but...yeah...impeach him...he does deserve it. "
