Yes this is a poll done on MSNBC and not through Gallop etc but can 265000 people be wrong?

Yawn

86% of nearly 300k respondants is pretty impressive, especially since MSNBC has been working pretty hard to follow in the footsteps of Fox and appeal to conservatives.

<shrugs>

I'm curious to see where the voters are from, geographically speaking

Well, since more than 265,000 people voted for Bush to begin with, are you insinuating that they were right?

Secondly, a poll based on self-selected respondants is about as reliable as a cheesecloth condom. Maybe you believe the Internet polls on places like World Net Daily too?

Obviously that poll is completel BS. How could 86% want Bush impeached when there are so many polls with Bush's approval rating hovering in the high 30's?

They must've polled people in left-wing areas exclusively.


Btw, I'm not saying I approve of Bush myself. Those signing statements, and some of his claims of Executive power are rather disturbing.
But a lot of Presidents suffer from Megalomania, and that's not an impeachable offence in itself.

These kind of polls should be restricted to 'should Paris make up with Nicole?' type questions. I could vote in it and I'm in Scotland!

Paris and Nicole had a fight?

thats why I wanted to see the geographic mapping of voters

go to the site
vote
clear your cookies
vote again

etc.

I liked the cheesecloth analogy

sadly - it shows how uneducated people are.

While I dont agree with the "War" or Bush's policies.

ANd I wish he hadnt won the elections;

However, the way to remove Bush and his agenda is to vote for people who will oppose him.

The Impeachment system does not exist as a means to change policy. Its there to remove tyrants and criminals.

the best way to remove Bush's policies, wait till '08 and elect a Democrat. it ain't rocket science people.

We could also vote in more Dems into congress this year

...

What if I would rather that the American people read their Bill of Rights, Constitution, law, and so forth?
What if I would rather that Bush be impeached for breach and abuse of office?
What if I would rather not wait another 2 years while innocent people die during an unjust war?
What if I don't want a Democrat in the White House?

tough shit

Well, you could always make numerous posts on an internet forum board.

Yeah pretty bad...

Provided the democrats don't make the next candidate as much of a bafoon as Kerry. I still can't believe he was the chosen candidate--he was doomed to fail right from the start. I actually respect people who change their minds based on receiving new facts, but when someone flip-flops constantly based on trying to get the approval from who they're talking to at the time, it's pathetic. I still don't get why everyone made such a big deal about Dean's screaming speech--it showed he had some gumption. If you look at speeches from candidates from before the 60's, people were allowed to show emotion--I wonder what happened.

I just wish some 3rd party candidates actually had a chance, but since Reagan got rid of the Fairness Doctrine in 1987, media coverage for candidates has pretty much been about who has the most money. The only 3rd party candidate that ever had even the slightest chance was Perot (I didn't like him, but that's neither here nor there) who would have probably won if he wouldn't have dropped out for a period of time.

It exists as a way to remove from office presidents who break the law. This one has, brazenly and repeatedly. Personally I doubt he'll be impeached because people are still bitter about the complete abuse of the system during the Clinton witch hunt. The Constitution can't just be ignored when it becomes inconvenient, however. The problem is that partisanship has gotten so out of hand that even legitimate calls for his impeachment will be brushed off as merely the ravings of the radical left.

There is no partisanship. It is a smokescreen to keep the populace at each other's throats.

Well, then the impeachment process seems a perfect fit for Bush. He is certainly a criminal, and he's working very hard on the tyrant angle.

It works well. Whatever happens the rest of Bush's term should be interesting. Arlen Specter is talking about drafting legislation that would allow Congress to sue the administration. He seems to be all bluster and no follow through, but the fact that they're even talking about it is pretty amazing. There's still plenty of time left for things to get ugly, especially if the Republicans lose the majority. That seems pretty likely at this point. It truly amazes me that Bush supporters are still in denial about what's really been going on.

I posted this link a while back, but anyone who hasn't watched it yet really should. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/darkside/

Perfect example of why so many people are misinformed nowadays... and you all fell for it?

thx god 4 teh intarweb newz!!!1

How about a real poll?

Even this wack job poll done by extremist nutcases doesn't come close to that about a year ago:

http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2005/10/11/171040/56

And that has a conditional "IF" Bush lied attached to it: "If President Bush did not tell the truth about his reasons for going to war with Iraq, Congress should consider holding him accountable by impeaching him."
Hahahaha!

And as stated earlier, even Bush's low approval ratings dwarf a 13% no vote. Not to mention the fact that they split the "no" vote into two categories, probably for a little bonus bias-effect. What a damn circus performance.

Isn't it funny that Bush campaigned for Specter, who was losing his battle for renomination against a somewhat more conservative pro-life Republican. Bush helped him win, and I suppose Specter's inaction is how he's repaying the President.

And folks, don't call Bush a Bible-thumper. He only uses the Bible to get votes.

While personally I feel that little Georgie should be impeached and perhaps even charged with war crimes, that poll is much too biased and it isn't accurate. Unfortunately the majority of voters are still far too entrenched in their nationalism (oh I'm sorry they prefer to claim it as patriotism) to ever see him and his administration for what it really is.

It's also as Chip said, the word impeachment has been tossed around and made such a mockery of in the past that even in situations where it is a valid alternative it will only be seen as a joke and the people who call for it made out to be a bigger joke.

What is going to happen (in my view) is that Georgie will be pushed out of office in the next election and hopefully the rest of his administration made to quietly vanish and there will still be a large segment of the American people who will make him out to be some kind of hero for awhile. Eventually, maybe around the time our grandchildren are opening their history books in class, history will hopefully show him for the vile liar that he is. But probably not.
