GEEZ LOUISE, Sorry I've been away so much, missed this wonderful discussion. Amos, you said something back on Dec. 27, 05 I found really scary. You had MG and the word intelligence in the same sentence. Isn't that an oxymoron? And everyone keeps mispelling Guest A.'s name, leaving out the period, which accounts for the last six letters. Thanks Kat for the link in the beginning of this thread, just added my vote.

How is the weather where you are?

Of course Bush should be impeached. Absolutely. It's high time. That is why Sawzaw revived the thread, isn't it ?

Geez Louise, has he been sitting there year after year with the phrasing from that post simmering in his brain ????

By the way, I've known more than one person with a peachy bush.

Barbara should not be impeached. That's it, that's all. George should be jailed but won't be. What needs impeaching is a Congress that allowed 2001-2008.

Oh, this is rich. The stench of festering hypocrisy reaches from way back at the start of the this thread:

Well, given the high pitched protestation by Bush upon the New York Times outting his illegal assualt on the 4th amendment rights of our citizens, couple with his total nose thumping at long established US law, the Foriegn Intellegence Surveillance Act (FISA) it would appear that the president has stepped into that area, Article II, Estion 4, that the Founding Fathers feared could happen....

"...the president, the vice president, and all civil officers of the United States shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and convictioon of treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemanors"....

Well, we certainly have arrived at a crossroads here in the history and future of our country...

Bobert

lol. Fast forward 8 years to Bobert whining about me starting an impeachment thread on Obama. What a hypocrite. A racist, too. He wanted to imeach Bush because Bush is white.

As former President George W. Bush is no longer in office then there is absolutely no way he can be "Impeached".

Impeach (In the sense being discussed and as originally presented) - To charge (a public official) with improper conduct in office before a proper tribunal.

Impeachment In the U.S. Congress or a state legislature the presentation of charges against a public official by the lower house, with trial to be before the upper house.

Impeachment - Usage Note: When an irate citizen demands that a disfavored public official be impeached, the citizen clearly intends for the official to be removed from office. This popular use of impeach as a synonym of "throw out" (even if by due process) does not accord with the legal meaning of the word. As recent history has shown, when a public official is impeached, that is, formally accused of wrongdoing, this is only the start of what can be a lengthy process that may or may not lead to the official's removal from office. In strict usage, an official is impeached (accused), tried, and then convicted or acquitted. The vaguer use of impeach reflects disgruntled citizens' indifference to whether the official is forced from office by legal means or chooses to resign to avoid further disgrace.

Should George W. Bush have been impeached? No.
Should Barack Obama be impeached? No
Difference between the two from an international perspective? When GWB spoke Putin listened, when Barry speaks Putin has a good chuckle.

Obviously Sawzaw responded to a spam message before the elves could delete it. (Happens to newbies otherwise; some threads they accidentally revive is well worth reading - not this one.)

In order to impeach Bush as a president, you have to elect one first. I read somewhere that like the Kennedys, the Bushes always appoint a clan member heir to the throne. Was it Jeb Bush?

It may be time though to impeach the presidential system altogether, in favo(u)r of a stronger parliament.

I think Sawsaw's point was about hypocrisy, not impeachment.

I object to President George W. Bush being referred to as "Bush" in the title line of this thread. It was clearly done to show disrespect. How can this be tolerated on Mudcat, the fair and balanced website?
