And this is without the Downing Street Memo getting broad MSM coverage:
President Bush’s televised address to the nation produced no noticeable bounce in his approval numbers, with his job approval rating slipping a point from a week ago, to 43%, in the latest Zogby International poll. And, in a sign of continuing polarization, more than two-in-five voters (42%) say they would favor impeachment proceedings if it is found the President misled the nation about his reasons for going to war with Iraq.
Here in the West, 52% of those surveyed supported impeachment.
Now all we need to do is seize control of Congress so that President Bush can get the justice he deserves for betraying the trust of the American people.
UPDATE:
And just to pre-empt some of the holier-than-thou righty whining I’m sure to get in the comment thread… if it’s okay to impeach a president for lying about a blowjob, why shouldn’t we be talking about impeaching a president for dragging us into a war on a lie?

Assuming this was a valid survey, i.e., not an interactive one, then this tells us nothing more than, those democrats who have hated Bush since 2000, don’t want him to be president.
Uh, we already knew that.
Then, we could look at the question, “If Bush was found guilty of misleading the nation into war, would you support impeachment.” Then the 42% support seems really dismal.
Imagine if a person was found guilty of committing murder, and you were to ask the jurors, “Would you support sending the criminal to jail?” I would think you would have 100% support.
In other words, for Bush to have been found guilty there would have had to been a trial, all sorts of media coverage, all the evidence would have to be shown, then someone would have had to make the determination that he was guilty. So if all that happened, and only 42% of Americans support impeachment… That’s actually a positive because then we go back to considering that the 42% are those that already hate Bush and will always hate him no matter what.

Clinton lied in a deposition (about a blowjob Kenneth “Witchhunter” Starr had no business asking about in any event) – which isn’t perjury.
And it’s pretty clear to anyone with an IQ above room temperature that Bush lied his fucking ass off to get us into a war on Iraq that he was planning from his first minutes in office. You know what, pretty much the entire world realized it, which is why we are bearing the brunt of an illegal war in Iraq (which, btw, UN Resolution 1441 did not authorize – Bush sent Powell to the UN to try and get a new resolution and got his ass handed to him).

Impeaching Bush would accomplish nothing because Dick Cheney would still be president. We need to get rid of the organ grinder and his monkey together. The rumored source of the Valerie Plame leak is a Cheney aide. Instead of jerking around a couple of second-string journalists who don’t know anything, DOJ should be forced to put Robert Novak before a grand jury. If he refuses to talk don’t send him to jail, send him to Gitmo. Chances are the Speaker will be a Democrat when all this comes down, giving White House control back to the only party capable of running this country properly. That would take care of the Supreme Court appointment issue too. And we would have the added satisfaction of seeing Cheney executed for treason.

blaming people never got anyone anywhere….fixing things does. that’s my point. i don’t blame clinton for 9/11. i don’t think clinton would have ever dropped the ball if he had known what bin laden was capable of.but he, just like president bush, did not have a crysal ball did he?
oh, the intel was there alright..but it still wasn’t his fault.
it was bin laden’s fault.

Cluelessghost @29
OK. Since I don’t hold Clinton to blame for not getting Bin Laden before 9/11 (at least he and his administration recognized that Bin Laden was a threat, which is more than one can say for the Iraq obsessed PNAC dickheads in the Cheney Administration), I wouldn’t hold Bush to blame for pre 9/11 omissions either, assuming everything was exactly the same (of course, given the staggering incompetence of Bushco, it wouldn’t have been, but I’ll play along) Conversely, had Clinton ignored the August 6 2001 PDB about an imminent Al Queda strike, I sure wouldn’t be any more forgiving than I am regarding Bush. But you know what, it wasn’t Bill Clinton who ignored Bin Laden – it was Shrub (and it isn’t as if they weren’t warned, but the chickenhawks of the PNC were too busy planning to invade Iraq and who knows who else to pay attention to repeated warnings from the outgoing National Security Advisor).
Personally, I think impeachment is too good for these fascist traitors.

let me count the ways:
*removed the Counterterrorism group, headed by Clarke, from meetings among principals, practically cutting Cabinet heads off from that information.
*downgraded the terror threat priority at the DoJ, from #1 to not even on the list (it was a subhead of another priority).
*refused a Cabinet level meeting with the CTG until August.
*focused at the NSA level, on expanding missile defense as the key priority of 2001.
*ignored an uptick in “chatter” that dwarfed in volume a similar episode during summer of 1999–an episode in which the Clinton administration went into full alert and as a result thwarted multiple terror attacks.
*refused DoJ funding for homeland security efforts both before
AND immediately after 9/11.

Just an observationand quote from Instapundit:
July 01, 2005
I’M SURPRISED THAT THIS POLL didn’t get more attention:
Gallup announced yesterday that it had taken a snap poll after the speech given by George Bush on the war in Iraq from Fort Bragg. The poll showed some movement bolstering support for the war. In fact, it showed Bush picking up ten points on whether we are winning in Iraq (up to 54%), twelve points on keeping troops in Iraq until the situation improves as opposed to setting an exit date for their evacuation (now at 70%/25%), and seven points on whether Bush has a clear plan for handling the war in Iraq (up to 63%/35%).
This would seem pretty newsworthy to me. (Emph. added).

So bushlied, if Clinton wasn’t busy hobnobbing at Wimbledon when Burgler called on Bin Laden, we could have gotten him. So I wonder about you all pinning 9/11 on Bush? If Clinton did his job, Bin Laden would be at Gitmo or maybe on a Navy ship in the Indian Ocean (ha ha).

You have no new arguments, no new ideas…nothing.
The republican party has been taken over by their worst and most dangerous elements who are determined to recreate the social and economic conditions of the late 19th century. That is NOT my idea of a world I want for my kids and their children.

Here’s a news flash, guys…Bill Clinton is NO LONGER President. The Republican Party is firmly in power. They enjoy a majority in both houses of Congress and and the Presidency. And for six years they haven’t done jack. Bush ignored clear warnings about terrorist activity and got us attacked. Ol’ C=Augustus was on his way to being only a four year lame duck until he hit the “Trifecta” (his terminology, not mine) After close to six years now these jerks own their record…and it ain’t pretty.

Don, for once in #41 you actually said something worthwhile. Many months and tens or hundreds of posts you finally said something I could think about. Yes maybe Bush did not take it seriously, because where did Bin Laden strike before? He struck overseas at the two African based US Embassies in 1998 in the USS Cole in the Arabian Sea in 2000. What did Clinton do? Well based on Clarke’s assessment, lob a few cruisies in Afghanistan and bomb the pill factory in Sudan. Wow that really scared Osama. If the Clinton based FBI had been on the job along with the Clinton based INS Department, maybe the illegal scumbags would not have gotten in or if they were in on visas they would have been caught and deported. But alas, no dice there.
But then again liberal cities don’t check for nationality, so when Atta was stopped for a traffic ticket in South Florida, there was no checking on his visa status. Otherwise if liberal mania isn’t so entrenched in safe haven liberally run cities where we have illegal safe zones: where a Denver detective was killed in cold blood, a 18 year old Texas woman was raped and killed and found by her little sister, where a four year old girl was raped and left for dead all by illegal aliens, we would be a better America!

I never said he was, John are female? because you sure are trying to read too far between the lines of my statement.
I was refering to posts like the last few “Rossi supports gas tax” and “O’Connor retires; all hell to break loose” how can you not call that propaganda?

It is a joy to come here and see the posts of all out right wing friends. Sometimes I feel a ittle guiltyat how easy it is to bash them with the reason stick, but then I remember they are here because they like making fools of themselves and getting bashed upside the head with logic and facts.
They are what I term “self loathing wingnuts”
They know in their hearts they are wrong so they come here to be bashed about by “reality community’s” logic.

Hey John, even Goldy hits paydirt once in his lifetime. Did I see Goldy was 6 in 1969? Well David, psychologists say that your foundational principles are laid by your 5th year. I think the poster is still correct about the 60’s and you.
Rujax206:As I stated earlier this week, man you really hate Bush.
Johnny boy: BTW, my views on conservatism were way before Rush Limbaugh. And since he predates all those other people or Fox News, that blows your argument out of the water, eh? Being a conservative black man is an anathema for Jesse Jackson and his progeny. My only potential liberal view may be on Abortion. I even agree with Loocy on that one as it’s up to the woman and in the final judgment, God!
Have a great 4th. At least we can honor the memories of those who died to give us our independence. Again what does the first paragraph of the DoI say?: When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
Nature’s God. Well then IT, you should move out of America since you claim to be an athiest. God still entitles you to something, but you refuse to acknowledge Nature’s God entitling to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Don-
Reality seems to be a relative term to you. It’s too bad that you choose not to listen to or process anything contrary to the alternate reality you have shrouded yourself in.
I use to read all of what you had to say trying to glean a point somewhere in the mix. The truth is now I just skim through the regurgitated liberal acid you spew, laughing the whole time at the rantings of an angry old man.

Puddybud spews:
If you are His child he talks to you. I am sure many of His children have heard his voice. Since you don’t believe in Him, you’ll never hear His voice.
Since many people on the HA discount the Old Testament, I will quote from it: “Behold, this is our God; we have waited for Him, and He will save us. This is the Lord; we have waited for Him; we will be glad and rejoice in His salvation” Isaiah. 25:9, NKJV.

Puddybud spews:
Commentary here from before saying the New Testament replaces the Old Testament. Commentary here from before saying if Christ didn’t say it, then it isn’t a real argument. I don’t keep the quotes for later reposting like you do, but I can remember things. I was told I had a photographic memory, but I don’t.
Donnageddon spews:
Pudster, I have to admit, I do not remember any of that stuff. Are you not sure you were not halucinating?

Good Night Don. My Sabbath is approaching, at sunset. See you tomorrow night after 9:08 PM or so.
Donnageddon spews:
OK Pudster, have a good sabbath. I will try to be online occasionally this weekend. You have been warned.
Puddybud spews:
No Don. I am not hallucinating. But when do you pay attention to Christian talk? You are an athiest. How can you believe in Nothing! My brother is an agnostic. He believes in a supreme being, just not God.
I mentioned Paul in Romans 1:18-to the end of the chapter saying that men lying with men (homosexuality) is an abomination and a lefty said “If Jesus didn’t say it then I don’t believe it”.
I quoted out of the Book of John, and someone said that John was a whacky disciple.
I qouted out of Revelation and someone said that Revelation was a strange book written by John a strange man. You should review your tapes Don.
Donnageddon spews:
Pudster, I was not born an atheist. I was raised a Catholic. But I explored most “christian” religions. I put Christian in quotes because I aften find that most sects do not feel other sects are “true” christians.
I have also explored eastern religions. Budhism, Hinduism, etc.
Not all of them, mind you, but enough to know that I found them all completely crazy. None of them even approximated a hollow shallow echoe of truth.
So, I do not belioeve in any of them. I am an atheist.
That does not mean I know where everything in the universe came from. I am just very sure that no organized religion has the answer.
So, there we are. Man making the best of what we know.
That is why I am a liberal progressive.

You can indict a ham with a grand jury. In a trial, a line of questioning has to be relevant to what the person is being tried for. When you convene a grand jury you need a stated reason for convening the jury, but you can question the subject of the grand jury about anything you want. Starr and the Reps had prior knowledge of the blowjob and although questions about it had nothing to do with the ostensible reason for convening the grand jury, they asked Clinton questions about it knowing he would lie about the blowjob. After all the millions of dollars (of taxpayers money)spent investigating Clinton the only thing they could pin on him was lying to a grand jury about a blowjob that had nothing to do with what they were ostensibly investigating.
This is such crude and obvious manipulation of the process of the law that I am not one bit surprised that to this day most Dems are still dumbstruck about what to say in their Pres.’ defense.
Reps understand the devious crap they pulled so when one says it in my presence, I shout them down or attempt to knock out a few of their teeth—that they readily understand.

Ken Starr belongs in jail for spending $70 million of taxpayer money and coming up with nothing but a fib about a blowjob that was none of his business. In fact, he should be prosecuted as a voyeur. He’s no better than a window peeper. Fucking pervert.
