Dare I say it? Do we have, as of tonight, the makings of both...

[ClassWarrior]

...President Barack Obama AND the IMPEACHMENT of Bush**/Cheney**??

NGU.

[YDogg]

1. I wish. On both counts.

[Colobo]

3. I hope this is the beginning of a Watergate-like scandal for Bush.

[ClassWarrior]

12. All of Bush**'s scandals are Watergate-like. We need a Watergate-like investigation.

NGU.

[Yurovsky]

30. We need a Congress with some balls ...

instead of the cowering wimps we've got right now. "Go along to get along" seems to be the MO of these folks.

All they're really doing is enabling this murdering SOB to continue with his illegal war and trashing of the Bill of Rights.

[musicblind]

34. Well said

If all it took was a watergate like scandal... Bush would have been out of office years ago!

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

2. By The Time Any Investigation Was Complete Enough, He'd Likely Be Out Of Office.

[ClassWarrior]

4. So screw the Constitution? We don't have time??

Wow. Just wow.

NGU.

[roguevalley]

8. being out of office doesn't stop anything. he can still be gotten.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

11. Oh God Relax There Killer.

I'm just being honest. By the time the investigation was done enough to receive enough FACTS to even warrant an impeachment hearing, he'd probably be on the way out. That means that even with good intention, even if they were to pursue such a thing, even if it DID go down that road, by the time it got there it would likely be moot.

So please stop acting like I said it isn't even worthy of investigation. That's what your reaction seemed to portray. I want a FULL investigation on this and I want ALL the facts to come out. But your OP reference their actually being impeached, and I'm just being honest in stating that by the time the balls on this got rolling to that point, they'd likely already be packing their bags anyway. Ease up, for real.

[ClassWarrior]

13. See below, Petunia.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

15. Still Doesn't Excuse Your Over Reaction To My Reply.

And personally, though to each their own, I disagree with such a mindset. I think if impeachment proceedings began AFTER they were already out of office, little would be accomplished, it would never pass in a million years, and it would be political suicide. I would consider it to completely be shooting ourselves in the foot. But I understand why you may think otherwise and that's ok. But I don't deserve any vitriol because I don't.

[ClassWarrior]

17. I didn't realize you were so sensitive.

My apologies.

NGU.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

19. One Need Not Be Sensitive To Call You On Your Over Reaction.

And based on your complete lack of contextual reply as well as your over reactive defensiveness to both polite replies of mine, it would appear that you are in fact the one who is sensitive. But that's ok. I know this is all stressful to you.

[ClassWarrior]

24. You're cute.

NGU.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

27. You're Not So Bad Yourself. (wink)

[proud2BlibKansan]

18. First impeachment. Then a trial. Then prison.

Yep, little would be accomplished. We would just be shooting ourselves in the foot. Why in the world would we want to hold them accountable?

:sarcasm:

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

20. Sorry, But That's Completely Deluded Thinking.

Sure that's what we'd love to see happen, but it wouldn't happen in a million years. Try and be real here.

[ClassWarrior]

25. What a polite response.

NGU.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

28. It Was Accurate And Honest. Nothing Wrong With That.

[ClassWarrior]

36. I didn't say there was anything wrong. I said it was polite.

:shrug:

NGU.

[proud2BlibKansan]

31. Doing nothing is worse

That's for real.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

33. I Never Said To Do Nothing.

In fact, I already said I want full investigations into this matter and want to know who and why. This act was completely unacceptable and fishy as hell.

10. Rep. Robt. Wexler: "The Constitution does not include a statute of limitations."

Diary by Rep. Wexler on Cheney Hearings
Wexler For Congress Campaign, Daily Kos
Monday, December 31, 2007

...I think it's important to point out that while there may not currently be 218 votes in support of actual impeachment, it's premature to think that support would not be there AFTER hearings...

The whole purpose of hearings is to investigate and verify credible allegations of wrongdoing. Let us remember that it wasn't until after hearings began that the Watergate tapes emerged. Who knows what will be uncovered when we explore the evidence already on the table? Who knows what support will emerge when the truth comes out?...

This administration has obstructed our agenda since we took the majority. There is little reason to think that if we avoid hearings, we will suddenly find ourselves in an easier position. In fact, there is good cause to believe the opposite - that if we avoid hearings, we will STILL be obstructed. Such an outcome would be tragic...

Lastly, there are those that suggest that there is too little time to conduct hearings. This is a dangerous idea, as it signals to future presidents that after the third year of their term, they're effectively immune from serious inquiry. No President or Vice President should have such immunity. The Constitution does not include a statute of limitations...

21. i'd settle

for this man to spend the rest of his life in public court answering for the crimes of his administration. he really should be in the hague but americans wouldn't stand for that i don't think.

[ClassWarrior]

16. Any port in a storm, my friend.

[Johnny__Motown]

22. It would overshadow the election. I kinda doubt it, But we can hope

[ClassWarrior]

23. An investigation into Rape-Publican crime? It'd overshadow the election alright...

35. Willing to gamble away the Constitution are you?

NGU.

[Radical Activist]

32. It was probably the Clintons

After all, she's the one making an issue of what countries Obama traveled to in a recent article. Odd coincidence.

[proud2BlibKansan]

37. Odd indeed in view of today's revelations

[BringBigDogBack]

38. You got me all excited.
