The Liberal Media Pushes Impeachment
Desperation amongst liberals arises...having lost two national elections to President Bush, one congressional election (and, probably, another in 11 months), and the nation's voice, liberals believe that they can impeach President Bush for some unknown crime. After all, even before the NSA surveillance story, liberals were using the "i" word, so they can't be using that.
Here is what we at Joobo wish: Downies should run their entire 2006 campaign - every single seat, from the US Senate on down to the most local election - on the program of "elect us, so we can impeach President Bush."
Here is our prediction: Bush's approval ratings will skyrocket, and Downies will get sacked in the mid-terms. How do we know? Check out what happened in 1998, to the Republicans.
'Impeachment' Talk, Pro and Con, Appears in Media at Last
Has anyone noticed that since the NSA surveillance story that not ONE poll has come out registering the American public's reaction to it? Is it positive, is it negative? What do people think?
We think we know - the major pollsters polled the American people, and the answer that came back was, "We don't care if President Bush monitors the e-mails and phone calls of terrorists, as long as we remain safe from terrorism." Of course, the nutty left will disagree, but they are a thin minority of America. After Hurricane Katrina, every media outlet (including Fox) polled people and showed that people did not like how the federal government reacted to the disaster, and blamed President Bush for the inaction. In this case there are no polls showing this. But if the polls showed that people did not like what Bush did, that he broke the law, etc., the pollsters would be out with those polls. The fact that the polls are missing is proof positive of why liberals don't like the answers they got in the polls.

'Impeachment' Talk, Pro and Con, Appears in Media at Last
Suddenly this week, scattered outposts in the media have started mentioning the “I” word, or at least the “IO” phrase: impeach or impeachable offense.
The sudden outbreak of anger or candor has been sparked by the uproar over revelations of a White House approved domestic spying program, with some conservatives joining in the shouting.
Ron Hutcheson, White House correspondent for Knight Ridder Newspapers (known as “Hutch” to the president), observed that "some legal experts asserted that Bush broke the law on a scale that could warrant his impeachment.” Indeed such talk from legal experts was common in print or on cable news.
Newsweek online noted a “chorus” of impeachment chat, and its Washington reporter, Howard Fineman, declared that Bush opponents are “calling him Nixon 2.0 and have already hauled forth no less an authority than John Dean to testify to the president’s dictatorial perfidy. The ‘I-word’ is out there, and, I predict, you are going to hear more of it next year — much more.”
When chief Washington Post pollster Richard Morin appeared for an online chat this week, a reader from Naperville, Ill., asked him why the Post hasn't polled on impeachment. "This question makes me mad," Morin replied. When a second participant made the same query, Morin fumed, "Getting madder." A third query brought the response: "Madder still."
