Impeachment

[Back]

Rabid talking point of the Republican minority, AND the media, in the late 90s.

Why is it a bad word now?

Discuss.

Impeachment occurs when impeachment is warranted.

If Congress or any other SINGLE person on the list of many who are authorized to start the proceedings thought there was misconduct requiring impeachment.. they would start the process.

I'm sorry I had to explain that to you.

Blowjobs from interns are grounds for impeachment but not misleading your country or just outright breaking the law.

Again my above post is clear. If you don't understand it that isn't my problem.

There was more than blowjobs involved as you obviously have a selective memory.

President Clinton wasn't impeached for adultery.

The GOP is afraid of Bush being impeached so it can't be that far off base. Here is the email I received from the GOP:

Dear *****,

The word is out. Their position is clear. Last week, Sen. Russ Feingold floated a reckless plan to censure the President, and some Democrat leaders have ecstatically jumped on Feingold's bandwagon.

And, if they gain even more power in November, they won't stop there.

Feingold says that censure actually represents "moderation" and calls the terrorist surveillance program an impeachable offense. Dick Durbin, the number two Democrat in the Senate, fails to rule out impeachment if Democrats retake Congress. Iowa Democrat Tom Harkin is talking "high crimes and misdemeanors." And 31 House Democrats are calling for a committee to look into impeachment. Their leader? John Conyers, who would become House Judiciary Committee chairman under Democrat control.

The Democrats' plan for 2006? Take the House and Senate, and impeach the President. With our nation at war, is this the kind of Congress you want? If your answer is a resounding "NO", I need you to make an urgent contribution to help us win this fight.

Democrat leaders' talk of censure and impeachment isn't about the law or the President doing anything wrong. It's about the fact that Democrat leaders don't want America to fight the War on Terror with every tool in our arsenal. Your immediate action will send these reckless Democrats a message and help preserve our Republican majorities.

And what happens if we stand on the sidelines, and give the likes of Russ Feingold, John Kerry, and John Conyers control of Congress? Here's what the The Wall Street Journal says: "In fact, our guess is that censure would be the least of it. The real debate in Democratic circles would be whether to pass articles of impeachment. ... [E]veryone should understand that censure and impeachment are important -- and so far the only -- parts of the left's agenda for the next Congress."

The world is watching. Using every tool at our disposal to fight terrorists should not be a partisan issue. Democrats should to be focused on winning the War on Terror, not undermining it with political axe-grinding of the ugliest kind.


Sincerely,



Ken Mehlman
Chairman, Republican National Committee

P.S. Russ Feingold's censure resolution and Democrat talk of impeachment have raised the stakes for 2006. Make your contribution, sign the petition, and help make sure this fight is won.

President Clinton wasn't impeached for adultery.

No he was impeached by Congress for lying about blowjobs.

I used my new found terrorist surveillance to decypher your post.

Dear *****, = Dear Douche,
