Impeachment Polling

Daily Kos reports on a new poll about Bush and Cheney and impeachment. "55% of voters believe that George W. Bush has abused his powers in a way that rises to the level of impeachable offenses." 52% for Cheney.

However, while they say what's he's done is impeachable, only 34% think we should actually impeach Bush and 43% think the same for Cheney.

I'm assuming these people are misunderstanding the term impeachment. Clinton was impeached and found guilty, but his punishment was merely censure, not removal from office. To be clear, I think Bush and Cheney need to go, and censure (an afternoon of yelling at them) would be pretty pointless. After all, I've been yelling at them for several years now.

Castro's Favorite Color,

Thanks for watching the poll numbers, and for visitng Kos on the impeachment issues.

As you well know, the Kucinich resolution on the Cheney impeachment investigation has one important roadblock: Nancy Pelosi. However, there's a solution -- there's an effort underway to remove her as Speaker, clearing the way for the impeachment investigation.

Thanks for your blog, and best wishes to you.

:) I am sure they have heard your yelling and have been hurt by it...

(while you were yelling W was actually re-elected)
