Hooray for Vermont. At least they are showing some old fashioned American guts. It's time the whole country stood up to the little tin plated god that inhabits the Oval Office.

here we go again, the moonbat left is at it again.
i personally think bush has done a good job considering the venom that has been spewed at him since day one, it doesnt surprise me though, democrats are history revisionists, and will do or say anything to vilify the right, but hey when you can beat them in the arena of ideas, scandalize them, kind of sad, truly

Has anyone stopped to consider who would be in office if we impeached both of them??? They may be the worst ever, but, is there anyone in the lineup who would be any better?

How does Cheney get by shooting man in the face, not reporting it for three days, and still has not served one day in the clinker?
How is it that Mark Foley is still walking around a free man.

Congratulations Vermont. Now if every state follows suit I think our Representatives in office would be alerted to realism in America.
Want to add something about Bush, now first I will say I dislike both him and Cheney but;
I watched Bush talk to a crowd in an informal setting and I was concerned. Now I am not being cute or sarcastic but I see a change in his behavior and rhetoric. Now add to this his infomal discussion with Pelosi about his having nothing bad to say about her going to Syria and it was the fault of the state Dept. I really think he is losing it. I am serious.
I am getting a touch of sympathy for the man even though I want him ousted. Remember, he is despised by most and the bloggers are trashing all he stands for. I really think it is getting to him so watch and pick up on his mannerisms and ramblings. I don't know if this information was worth stating but please watch and listen.
This is the same man that said Gonzo did good.

THANK YOU VERMONTERS!
"We all know there isn't a president who deserves impeachment more than George Bush," Shumlin said Friday. "How many speeches do you need to make the point?"
Friday was a proud moment for Vermonters. Once again, the people led and the leaders followed. Once again, we showed the power of democracy and how that power will help put an end the long national nightmare of the Bush presidency.

The Vermont Senate was wise in determining that Bush and Co. need to be expelled from the DC Domicile. Bushie Boy Jr. has been in office long enough. As for Cheney, he can take Attorney General Gonzales and Sec. of Education Spellings with him as he leaves. Not since the days of Ronald Reagan have we had so much confluence and corruption in the oval office. Warren Harding could have learned a thing or two about croneyism from the Bushies.

I think the level of corruption within this administration can not be compared to anyother administration in history. These people deliberately mislead the people on a regular basis. There are many past administrations I dislike or disagree with, but I would never compare it to what is taking place in the White House at this moment.

This just shows that the Vt Senate has more backbone that the rest of the US leaders, whether state or federal!

I think this would be fun for the country and I say bring it on! We all now know who the daddy is so we need something new to fill the time until Christmas!
It will serve the purpose of clearing the air on what was said and done by both sides and administrations since the end of the first Gulf war. It will have to start with Bush, I guess, because he might be able to claim "Presidential Priviledge" if Cheney is first. It should be an eye opener.
It won't work, of course, but let's have a go at it anyway.
Let's see who comes out on the short end.

Impeachment will not happen because its too late now. It takes time to do that process and by that time Mr. Bush will be out of office. Well, at least you people are venting out your steam.

it is always appropriate to punish criminals
I know I will be asked what his crime is:
federal judge ruled he violated the 1st and 4th amendments with the NSA wiretapping and then he continued anyway.

The impeachment motion is highly recommended due to its long overdue to stop the more killings of the American soldiers that are fighting for wars at no cause at all & costing billions of American dollars leading to the devaluation of our money values around the world.
Americans open your eyes to the truth. Don't let Bush uses again the war on terrorism as the technical excuse to cover up all his mismanagements, lies and dissillusionments of this man has done onto our country. The WTC incident happened because of Bush's inattentive atttidue of the early warnings. What's happening to the fuel cost in our country and the present government is not acting properly to curtail, why because the two cronies had previous connections with the oil companies and may probably have secret investments as well.

Can someone answer this question for me? if a president is impeached, do they still get a pension?

If Dan Rostenkowski the convicted democrat representative from Illinois and who was pardoned by the Clinton corrupt, can receive a pension which is abominable, I guess who can legally argue Bush shouldn't receive a pension.
Going to add, this human Rostenkowski who is a felon still to this day has his self portrait, in oil, hanging on the walls of congress. I say write your representative, its deplorable and an example for our representatives to be future crooks. Bill and Hillary how do you sleep at night like Bush. You corrupted the American way of life. You are poor excuses for representing America.
I know we have some elected officials who are honest, please step forward and lead the nation with honesty and integrity.

LibsTellFibs - now, now, let's not call names, even those that fit. Calling names lowers you to their level. What they did was by trickery and was reprehensible, but it will only make the Dems there look sillier and perhaps that is good for the Reps. The louder "Screamin'" Dean got, the more voters shied away from him and the Dems. The nastier the Dems are the better for us. They are botching up Congress now.
Try to keep your comments clean and incisive. It's fun to drive the Leftists into mouth-foaming rage, by not showing your own rage at their outrageous statements, as you poke their tissues of lies into shreds.
