George McGovern: "Impeach Bush/Cheney Right Now"

[Flying Headbutt]

Bush and Cheney are clearly guilty of numerous impeachable offenses. They have repeatedly violated the Constitution. They have transgressed national and international law. They have lied to the American people time after time. Their conduct and their barbaric policies have reduced our beloved country to a historic low in the eyes of people around the world. These are truly "high crimes and misdemeanors," to use the constitutional standard.

Good on you, George.
Still one of the most fundamentally decent men who ever lived.

 

[Bubbler]

I'm with it.

 

[old_tony]

Feel free to have George lead the Dems over the cliff, just like in '72.

 

[Fenian_Bastard]

To be completely accurate, McGovern did try to make Watergate an issue during the 1972 campaign, but nobody was listening because nobody was really covering the story yet. (Even HST barely mentions it in Fear And Loathing.) OTOH, Tim Crouse has a whole chapter on Watergate's place in the '72 dynamic in his still-essential "Boys On The Bus."

One hundred percent correct on that.

As far as "leading the Dems over the cliff," actual history tells us that the Congressional split stayed pretty much the same in 1972 and that, two years later, after the results of the 1972 election were fully known, the Republicans took one of the worst off-year beatings in American history.

Ya know . . . revulsion.

Sometimes, there's God . . . so quickly!

'08 Senata reshuffle's going to be pretty damn funny.

Well, among journalists, maybe. Fortunately they aren't a majority of the population.

Wexler (D-Fla.) has an Impeach Cheney petition you can sign.

Go to any college campus, and I'll guarantee you'll get between 70 and 80 percent of the students to sign.

Seems to be an awful lot of journalists out there these days.

Be careful trying to hide under a rationale that says that impeachment wouldn't be supported by half the population.

U.S. could heal a lot of wounds internationally kicking out that putz.

You should really watch Other People's Lives... give you an idea of what power that prick would like to wield over us... and has made serious inroads to that end in 7 years.

And non-voting adults would probably vote to kick him out at about an 80-percent clip.

McG has his opinion, for sure, but find me an attorney who can prove without a doubt all of the rules that this administration has broken that has put the Constitution into chaos. Other than that, as harsh as it's sounds, an impeachment isn't going to happen, and we know that. We're only 379 days from a new administration.

Such people like McGovern are so ****ing impatient and insistent in ending this now. The thought of Pelosi being bumped up to run the show for another year and two weeks is scary, to say the least.

379 days left. Trust me, it'll go by before we know it.

We need to send a message to the world. That's the problem with him getting out scot-free.

Frankly, I don't give a damn what the world thinks.
