The Dumbest Move the Dems Could Make

"Impeach or else!"

That was the headline that one liberal Web site ran over a recent interview with the antiwar activist Cindy Sheehan, who has been demanding that President Bush and Vice President Cheney be chucked out of office. But the Bush administration isn't her only target. Sheehan is so frustrated with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi -- who declared impeachment "off the table" even before the Democrats took control of Congress -- that she is ... Full Story »

This article provides a well-argued opinion making the political case against impeachment of Bush/Cheney, but that is as far as it goes. It gives only a brief mention of the good-government and constitutional arguments in favor of impeachment. Perhaps this can be forgiven since politics seems to be the focus of the media and constitutional government is now regarded as quaint.

A well-reasoned article. There's one more argument against impeachment. This isn't the Clinton nor the Andrew Johnson eras. It's an era in which America lacks the political will to impeach, weary of it all and preferring to tough it out until it's at long last, mercifully over.

I am more appalled at the ratings this article is getting than by the article itself. "Well argued"? "Well-reasoned"? This is one of the most poorly written, speciously argued attempts at commentary I have seen. First- he characterizes those favoring impeachment as "left-leaning", but then proceeds to admit that some noted conservatives as well as half of the country, are already behind impeachment. Then, after taking pains to paint impeachment as a looney left wing - oh my God ... More »

While the writer presents many facts regarding the failures of the Bush administration and its preoccupation with politics and secrecy, and has mismanaged the entire porcess of governing - - and he indeed makes a pretty good beginning of a case for impeachment - - he chides the "unhinged" left wing along with other unsavory adjectives characterizing those who demand impeachment, but only more vociferously than his own presentation evokes. In other words, this is an ideosyncratic, ... More »

A cogent argument well presented without the long litany of aspersions that have become all too common in opinion pieces.
