2. Wow...

What are we waiting for?

[goclark]

3. So, if I'm reading the graph correctly

we have a WOW!

[UrbScotty]

4. Slowly but surely... (nt)

5. Dopey Dems don't realize the difference...Bush is guilty of

high crimes and misdemeanors while Clinton was merely quilty of poor judgment in his personal life.

More from the article:

"Impeachment advocates are undaunted. "Just because you can't win a political battle doesn't mean certain battles shouldn't be fought," says Bob Fertik, a founder of the ImpeachPAC effort. "If we don't hold a president accountable for lying to start a war, we might as well throw out the Constitution of the United States.""

7. The public knew then and knows now. Clinton was hounded for 5 years by

fanatics and after spending 70 MILLION dollars they found he had made a moral slip. The public did not want him impeached.

The current Resident of the White house has committed many high crimes including LIEING us into war that have resulted in over ONE HIOUNDRED THOUSAND DEAD and countelss wounded. The public wants him tried (impeached) and removed before he does any more damage.

8. Note that the MSM were all against Clinton

in spite of public opinion being in support of him.

Meaning that public opinion as portrayed by the media isn't necessarily te same as real public opinion.

It's one of those very obvious cases of "manufactured consent", aka propaganda.

Now, what else are they lying about?

9. Hope Dean will join the chorus

He's not afraid to speak his mind.

10. The DEM leadership is so behind on this...

there was a backlash against the GOP because people know the difference between a mistep in personal conduct (Clinton) versus lying that has grave consequences (Iraq, Katrina). I was pissed that they wasted so much money for Ken Starr investigation. DEM leadership is stupid on this one.

[Vincardog]

11. DEM leadership is COMPLICIT on this one.

[IdaBriggs]

12. Wow -- look at the backlash: THEY CONTROL ALL THE GOVERNMENT.

Stupid Democrats.

:mad:

13. the thing that pisses me off.

Is how the article states that "mainstream: Democrats aren't yet ready to make an issue of impeachment because they see it as a politically risky issue.

Political expedience and opportunity over justice....sounds about right to me.

At least when the GOP went after Clinton their ideology drove them to (foolish) action, the majority of the Washington Dems ideology seems to delay action until the work is dead easy.

15. Faulty Dem logic: public was incensed about politicizing SEX (Clinton)

but are supporting punitive action (impeachment) if Bush lied to get us into war, etc.

Wake up, dopey Dems. Americans are PISSED.

14. Thanks

I wouldn't have seen it. Be good if it hit CNN and MSNBC now.... I think I will go point it out to them.... Anyone want to keep me company?

[radio4progressives]

16. Yeah.. sounds like a good idea... do you have a few good links?

[sarahlee]

19. Impeachment is the consequence Bush must pay.

This isn't revenge for Bill Clinton. This isn't tit for tat.

It's called a reckoning.

America MUST impeach Bush or we are truly lost as a nation.
