ImpeachImpeachImpeachImpeach
I said it earlier this week. Time to say it again: There’s no rest for the Bush-Cheney deranged crowd. Rejected by three major newspapers, impeachment piped piper Democrat Rep. Bob Wexler has launched his own website pressuring the Dem leadership to move forward on Denny K’s impeachment resolution. The site is “WexlerWantsHearings.com,” which redirects to his campaign site.
Here’s his spittle-flicked video message to the nutroots:
Wonder if there’s a role for him in Impeachment: The Play.

Democrat Rep. Luis Gutierrez of Illinois has joined the impeachment parade. The Swamp has Wexler and company’s full op-ed rejected by the NYTimes, Miami Herald, and WaPo.

More like “Impeachment – The Musical”
Aren’t they required to have a spit shield in front of them, like restaurants are supposed to have over their salad bars? For health reasons?
As Bush’s term ends the hysteria will only increase. They cannot stand a Republican President leaving office unscathed. Interestingly enough, if Republicans were asked, they would kick Bush out in a second over Cheney because of Bush’s continuing delay and obfuscation over the Border.
Maybe the mothership can pick him up when they come to fix and tune up Denny.
It might be premature to have impeachment hearings, but the actual charges Wexler makes are real and serious and should be investigated with more vigor than they have been. His last plea, that the transgressions of this administration should not become precedents for future administrations, is very powerful.
I resent MM calling his somewhat over serious and amateurish tone “spittle-flecked”. I wish she would focus on the substance rather than try to deflect us from the main issue with cattiness that is beneath her.
Looks like someone didn’t take his meds that morning and probably left his Tucks at home too!
I have more creative ways to waste my time than to flog the puddin’ out of a dead horse.

The video said it was paid for by “Robert Wexler for Congress“. Is this sort of thing an appropriate use of re-election funds? Does anyone know the FEC guidelines for use of those funds?

Recall Rep. Bob Wexler.
Terrorists – PASS, right Bob?
Bob? BOB???
Hey-take it easy on the dude- perhaps he is only reflecting the wishes of his constituents? Bob the Wad is my congressman and he’s been sending out questionaires with some regularity asking us what should be done about impeaching Bush and Cheney. Frankly I wonder why there are so many moonbats around here. I know there are oodles of geezer Jewish citizens here and they tend to be overwhelmingly liberal, even if the more senile ones unintentionally voted for Pat Buchanan in 2000. Thank you Pat!
An L3 on the CQ site thinks a Hillary Presidency will mandate Bush, Cheney and many of the staff being frog marched to prison. Who knows what the law of unintentional consequences will allow? If Gore were President, likely there’d be no emmy, oscar and nobel prize for his nibs. Or alternatively, Kerry may have lost only to pull a Nixon and be elected Prez later on.
In any case, Mr. Wexler fits right in with the lunatic fringe of the left. May he eventually fester at the anus of Lucifer.
Wexler=Independently Lab Certified 100% Pure AssClown.
Impeach all the crapweasels that are withholding funding our troops and trying to front door bankrupt our military in a time of war.
I’m not totally satisfied with George Bush, and will be glad to see him go.
That said, after watching the Dems have a meltdown like this makes me almost wish George would win a third term. Watching the Dems drool all over themselves like this would almost be worth it.
they want them both impeached in order for San Fran Nan to be President. If it were a republican leading the House, they would not be screaming so vehemently this late in the game.
can you imagine that control freak running the presidency? wow, we probably would not have to worry about a democrat winning for decades after that! she has done such fantastic job running the house, LOL..
That’s cattiness? Take a gander at the left-wing sites for true catty / spittle-flecked writings….
Hey! Today’s Friday!
Hear, hear, meatpieandtatters and aj!
And let us not forget what things like this are:
Pandering to the MoveOn’s & Daily Kos left-wing base for favorism…
Pure and simple.
Yup and They and out in Full force
I’m rather disturbed that there’s a certification process for that…
If these things were actual ‘transgressions’, they’d be better directed at several past, and several passed-away Presidents.
I might ask Congressman Wexler why he isn’t concerning himself about the needs of his constituents more. I admit that I don’t know more about the goof other than he is well into BDS. After the last Prez election, the whack jobs had to enter PEST here in Boca (that’s psot election stress therapy).
I see all sorts of horrific crimes in surrounding communities. Usually race ethnicity and immigration status is not mentioned. Last night police found a 47 y.o. mom and her 8 y.o. daughter murdered and robbed in their SUV outside the local upscale mall here.
No clue as to who done it, but my wild guess is killer wanted money for drugs since that is a big thing in those cases. Still- wouldn’t shock me if illegal alien(s) was culprit.
Apparently this nimrod (actually, that may be an insult to nimrods everywhere) only thinks accountability counts when he’s accounting for republicans. He didnt think Clinton did anything wrong. Further, he had something to say about Sadam. This from CNN on 1998:
A rare hypocritical moonbat. Imagine that.
First let me protect myself. I voted both times for Bush. I wish those who would impeach Bush the best of luck because he is what he is. There are so many instances Bush has displayed historic levels of incompetence. So many places he has sold America first. So many instances of him wasting our national treasure. So many instances of corroding the sovereignty of America. Wasted so many lives in his faux-war to spread democracy. Make your own list (I have many more but after a while it just becomes yad yad). Impeachment would just be the crown for the worst president ever.
Wexler’s from Florida?
Dern it all. I was happy being ignorant about that.
Faux news alert:
Bit_boy Throws Fit
Film at 11:00
Soap,
Please remind me to PLEASE IGNORE HIM.
faux war – blood boiling, tipping point not far behind.
Now that’s what I’m talking about.
all in all bush may not be in your eyes the best president, ever, but he surely is better than gore or kerry would have been. it maybe sad that we are stuck with the lessor of these three evils, but i can’t even imagine what would have happened had gore been president on 9/11. kerry would have us in total defeat and retreat long ago.
yes, bush has not been good on immigration, but neither were any before him. even the great reagan was not as effective as he could have been regarding immigration. amnesty was part of his legacy. bush’s mismanagement of the war after the initial take down of saddam’s regime was extremely poor. not sure where the disconnect was and we may never know. at least he did something to correct this and we are on a good path in the GWOT.
but the worst president ever? naw, i think there is Kennedy (really what did he accomplish in his short time as president? nothing), Carter (that goes without question) and last but not least the famous first black president Clinton.
believe me, bush is not the worst ever, cause we may end up with Hitlery. now, i think we can say if she wins there is potential for knocking any other worst president ever off of his pedestal.
The global economy is crumbling and we’re talking about impeaching Bush. We’re in a war in Iraq and we’re talking about impeaching Bush. Congress won’t fund the military and we’re talking about impeaching Bush.
Anyone care to add a few more?
30 ‘er rip. I got your back and I will loan you the 5 points!
30 let ‘er rip
Banning would be the best thing ever for BB
Got it rolling for you there 30.
#27- bet if we went back to US Civil war that plenty of people and especially the treasonous press were calling Abe Lincoln worse Prez ever.
I agree that Kennedy did a poor job, but the left had deified him. From what I’ve seen about the genesis and growth of international terrorism, I’d pick Carter as worst of all time and that’s not even accounting for the poor economy under his stewardship. Or how the intelligence community was gutted. Even now, I talk to some loons here who think Carter was A-ok in their book.
How about “You never had it so good” war on poverty jackass LBJ who doomed millions of poor to generational poverty by enabling their bad behavior of popping out oodles of kids for more welfare funding. And how he micromanaged Vietnam war and prohibited bombing of Hanoi, etc.
Another hero of the left whom I doubt history will judge so kindly is Clinton. And why don’t we hear cries for removing troops from Kosovo who went there under his watch? Oh, I forgot the stock market was riding a crest due to his efforts?
Bit_boy, #22,
Worst president or not, one simple fact remains. The Constitution clearly points out under what circumstances a President may be impeached. They are “high crimes and misdemeanors”.
Something all the emotionally driven moonbats need to learn is, whether you like the guy or not, he was LAWFULLY elected into office. You can’t decide later that you don’t like him, so he should go. That’s not the way this republic works. Find me where President Bush committed a “high crime” or “misdemeanor”, and then you can let impeachment start. I mean, it’s not like he lied to a federal grand jury, right?
Not a rite of passage or some badge of honor amongst us. There is no need to qualify your BDS rant with this.
Why did you vote for Bush (twice!) as you seem to have forgotten why? Please share it with the class.
Not grounds for impeachment.
I’ll agree with this statement the caveat being that this does not include what is needed for the war.
Not grounds for impeachment
Wasted? Wasted?? Of all the words you could have chosen, you chose to say that the men and women who fought and died for this country have wasted their lives? bit_boy huge mistake, a titanic type of mistake. Feel free to bash the President until you are blue in the face, won’t make a damn bit of difference to me. However, when you next elect to refer to our troops and this war. Think first and if the only thing that comes to mind is that they have wasted their lives, I’ll tell you what – Walk into your nearest Marine/Army recruitment center and tell them that.
It was nice knowing you.
30, the whole squad is behind you. If I had the five points, they’d be in your account now.
There’s the real reason to his call for impeachment, dems are still pissed about Clinton and can’t get over it. Here’s a piece of advice for dems–get over it and get a life.
Thanks Soap and Cpodug.
I was surprised at how many times the Dems resorted to the Bush-bashing rhetoric in this last debate.
Somebody should probably tell them that he is not running for re-election!
Bullseye!
But you know he will never be investigated for it.
Sheep!
How convenient. He links to his own campaign website asking for money. What a scum-bag.
Wexler circa 1998:
Wexler circa 2007:
So… when the Bush administration says the exact same thing that the Clinton administration and Wexler had been saying for years, it suddenly becomes an “impeachable offense.” Hypocrite!
More Wexler:
The way you’re applying one set of rules to yourself (claiming Saddam has WMD’s is the truth) and a completely different set of rules to the Vice President (claiming Saddam has WMD’s is a lie worthy of impeachment) is a crystal clear example of extreme partisanship, NOT the rule of law.
I’ll say it again, Wexler is a prime example of a completely Partisan Hypocrite!
That said, I think President Bush does deserve to be impeached, just not for the trash “charges” being thrown around by the lunatic left. Here is what I think are Bush’s impeachable crimes:
1) Signing a bill into law even when he already knew it was unconstitutional. (McCain-Feingold Incombant Protection Act)
2) Refusing to perform his Constitutionally mandated Duty to protect our borders, and in fact, actively acting to prevent the performance of that Duty.
Of course, if the President were to be impeached for these reasons, a majority of Congress and a significant number of judges also would deserve impeachment for these same crimes, most of them Democrats. Therefore, I doubt it will ever happen. Heck, it would shock me to no end to hear a Democrat even mention these crimes!
An excellent summation, along with Archeron’s #33.
What motivates moonbat donkeys in their quest for impeachment has nothing to do with high crimes or misdemeanors. In Bubba’s case, they never were able to cope with the fact that perjury, subornation of perjury and obstruction of justice while in office are felonies, which qualify as “high crimes.”
No, it was “all about sex.” Yeah, that’s the ticket.
Since they can’t accept that Bubba did anything wrong, it follows that they saw, and still see, his impeachment as politically motivated. Ergo, their increasingly desperate shrieks for Bush’s impeachment are also motivated not by constitutional criteria but simple lust for “payback.”
This is what we’ll be in for constantly if the liberal quest for a “living constitution” ever becomes reality.
Well, ya can’t impeach someone for incompetence. Proof: Jimmy Carter.
Was Carter really president? I know he was elected but I don’t think he served.
Regardless of Bush’s faults (real or imagined), I am forever thankful Kerry did not get in.
#42,
Not a crime. the Supreme Court ruled in…I want to say 1800 or so, but don’t quote me on the year, that Congress has the power to pass, and the President has the power to enforce (sign into law), any law they want. The system of checks and balances comes in when the constitutionality comes before the Supreme Court, who would then rule it unconstitutional, and strike it down.
The looney left is just Totally Frustrated that they haven’t been able to Impeach anyone … didn’t have a lot of success at “Frog Marching” either …
God it’s great not to be a nutroot looney

True enough, if you think he deserves scathing. One of the first things Bill Clinton did as President was to put an end to Iran/Contra investigations. If only Newt G had the same decency.
EWTHeckman said (#42):
True again. In 1998 Saddam (may have) had WMDs or WMD programs. They were gone (as UN and US inspectors found) by 2003. But, what the heck, let’s invade anyway.
On-my-soap-box said (#8):
If we weren’t afraid of liberal ideas he wouldn’t have to yell “Fishkafoon!” every time one of them said anything.
Too Funny – fear, yeah that’s it… clueless.
lgm said in #49:
Riiiiiiight. I suppose Bush/Cheney must’ve paid the U.N. to keep passing those 17 resolutions telling Saddam that he must start complying with the disarmament agreement. The last one was passed unanimously by the security council on November 8th, 2002. Resolution 1441 stated:
Your claim that we somehow magically “knew” that Saddam had gotten rid of his weapons is simply not credible in the face of the U.N.’s own condemnations of Saddam for his refusal to cooperate.
Archon said in #47:
I believe you’re thinking of Marbury v. Madison in 1803. If so, you’re wrong on all your points.
First, Chief Justice Marshall pointed out that the Supreme Court is required to abide by the Constitution in its judgements. He did not claim that the Supreme Court is the only arbiter of what is constitutional, nor does the Constitution state only the Judicial branch has any role in enforcing the Constitution. Therefore, claiming such does not absolve President Bush and much of Congress of their responsibility for violating their oath of office, which includes obeying the Constitution.
That case also highlights how the separation of powers is supposed to work. The court ruled that Marbury had been wronged. But they also found that the Supreme Court did not have the power to force the President to do anything about it, because enforcement powers belong to the Executive branch, not the Judicial branch.
Think about it. If two branches of the government do something unconsitutional, the third must still have the ability to thwart that action. That’s how the balancing of powers is supposed to work, where all three have to agree in order for something to go through.
If only one branch can limit unconstitutional actions, then only one branch needs to be subverted/compromised in order for illegal actions to actually go through. Furthermore, it gives the other two branches a blank check to do whatever they heck they want without being bound at all by the Constitution, but only by what the 3rd branch actually reviews. Does that really sound like what the Founding Fathers intended?
IMPEACH TME ALL! and let’s start over…
The only person who needs to be impeached is that Carter-appointed federal judge who declared one of the NSA’s programs unconstitutional. Can you imagine the hue and cry if the House has the guts to do that after the next election?
Best comment in this thread Dandapani.
lgm,
People can make whatever “accusations” they want. When they have already been investigated, or when they are so assinine as to be laughable the charges don’t deserve to be investigated any more that what they have been. Why waste time and money on the BS imaginings of the lunatic fringe left?
Jim C
I just have a question, and maybe I am remembering incorrectly, but didn’t Scott Ritter (UN inspector) say he never received the necessary backing by the US gov’t or any one else to adequately determine the state of Saddam’s WMD programs? And didn’t the inspectors get kicked out well before 2003? Also, wasn’t there a period after we announced we were coming but before we actually went during which Saddam is suspected of having relocated his WMD?
I guess I’m saying that my impression (based on news reports at the time) is that he didi have WMD’s, but got them out of sight in time (like Syria, maybe). So maybe Bush isn’t guilty of misleading us on that point.
Just sayin’, maybe that’s why we couldn’t locate the “smokin’ nuke.”
I resent all the comments that Jimmy Carter was a do-nothing president. He is the father of Islamic Terrorism. No other world leader could claim such an accomplishment. It is true that he is the worst president in American history, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t do anything.
No matter how hard I try, I can’t forget the teeth-grinding moment I had when, at a breakfast meeting, the guy sitting next to me said that Jimmy Carter was the most under rated President. Luckily, people barely noticed me squirting my orange juice out of my nose! A member of “my group” was running for office and I couldn’t risk offending “his group” and wrecking it for our candidate. The noblest thing you can do for your friend is to lay down your life. This has got to be a close second!
Bush may not have been the best president but I still can’t find out what the Demos alternatives to world terrorism are. By their actions I would assume we will all be wearing Burkas and speaking Spanish because I can’t for the life of me see anything that would counter that.
No, it was actually what Bill Clinton did to himself all on his own. If he had any sense of self-control, he would never have been impeached in the first place.
#60 — exactly right. Bill Clinton purjured himself, no one else did it to him. The leftists act like it was just a witch hunt. Too bad they can’t see their own pitchforks and torches sometimes.
Bush may indeed have handled the war poorly, but nothing he did looks like an impeachable offense. Now the borders…..
Soap #24, you show a great sense of humor, LMFAO! Soap #34, clearly indicates why you are comfortable with 30 pcs of Silver as a nic. As a honorably discharged Marine I did not mean those who serve are wasted but rather Bush wasted many when fighting for middle east democracy. Remember, the war that stared about weapons of mass destruction and was redefined after the first two yeas as a war for middle east democracy, that makes it a faux war to me my friend. And how about hundreds of billions being spent in Iraq and totally unaccounted for these last four years. Is this to be a ten year war or better how about a 30 year war. Right now it’s lasted longer than World War II. When the war in Iraq is over please let us know because I think Bush has no clue as to what that might be.
I knew I did not want to vote for Kerry or Gore. They are what they are. But I did not know I did not want to vote for Bush. I did not know he is what he is. So, other than Kerry and Gore my choice is Bush or no vote. I thought it was at least a vote for the Republican Party which it was but they mostly turned out to be other than I thought.
Congress approval ratings are in the toilet — and by the looks of it, they will soon be in the septic tank.
Sad and deranged Liberals.
This guy and his diatribe totally reminded me of an old WWII newsreel of the head of the American Nazi Party giving a speech supporting Hitler and saying how evil and wrong Roosevelt was. Swear to Budha, it was just like it only in color and no Swastikas…at least that we could see anyways.
You all missed it. Lyndon Johnson is the worst president in American history. He is the father of modern day entitlements, loser of Vietnam (even though the war continued for 4 more years), and all-around lame Democrat politicion. This guy has done more to ruin the true spirit and mindset of America than any three Gores, Kerrys, Kennedys, or Pelosis.
There were worse Presidents. FDR’s reign as emperor comes to mind. We’re still reeling from his control. A couple of other favorites are the 2 drunks: Franklin Pierce, Andrew Johnson. There are a few Congressmen who are far more worthy of impeachment, trial, and dismissal. VP Cheney? Does anyone remember what the office of VP entails? Nothing, but 1st in line for succession. President of the Senate with no power except in a tie vote. “The most useless job in the government”-Adams. “Isn’t worth a bucket of warm spit”-Garner. It’s all another “incite the masses to hatred and ride the wave to power.”
And still the liberal Demos can’t come up with any alternatives to the war on terrorism, why do they ignore this and ignore every other problem? I am beginning to think they don’t have any like past great demos as FDR, Wilson, HST, JFK and LBJ. You many not agree with all their postions I’ve listed but at least they had some alternatives and ideas.
