No president has ever been impeached. Nixon probably would have, but he resigned to avoid the shame.

If any president should have been impeached it would definitely be Bush. I think there needs to be a symbolic impeachment of Bush. A way to show America that we will never revert to such fascism and mockery of democracy again. Unfortunately I believe that the future holds many more Bush's including the current president.

I am sure we can all hope GWB burn in "you know where" for his misdeeds. Oh wait, some of us are reasonable people.

And, the U.S. never really landed on the moon, either. "Global Warming" is not a hoax, polar bears are stranded on chunks of ice and are drowning, The seas are rising, the moon is falling; hell, the sky is falling (actually it is, figuratively, in America, thanks to your pal, Obama).

Go tell it to someone who cares, buddy. I'm sick of hearing the lies you people are peddling on a daily basis.
I didn't invade Iraq, did you? I didn't benefit monetarily or otherwise, did you? You are comparing climate science to babies beng born deformed? Okay, both have scientific explanations. Those explanations don't appeal to you of course. You are probably a "Creationist". Is some big guy in the sky going to suck you up into the ether on the day of reckoning while you hold Sarah palin's hand? Bet you think so. Maybe you can build an ark. I'm sure the parents of these kids would love to know what went wrong, but that doesn't matter to you because it did not affect you directly.

Sad that so many in our media seem to have disdain for America and Americans as a whole.

Uh-oh... you better do some reading. Clinton was definitely impeached. He was not removed from the presidency, but he was impeached.

Wrong. Two presidents have been impeached. Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton. As for Nixon, other presidents have done what he did, he (his aides) just happened to be caught.

Why do you think Bush should have been impeached? Please list credible reasons only.

I do see the truth, buddy boy. Apparently you don't. How old are you? Twelve? WAKE UP!!! Do you have any clue about America, our founding and where our founders came from and what they had suffered?

America is headed toward opression and tyranny. We are in debt (thanks to Obama) almost beyond our ability to ever recover. Obama's so-called "health care" will be the nail in the coffin of liberty. Big brother? You haven't seen anything yet.

Obama is destroying America. He is doing it on purpose. You aren't paying attention, are you? Makes me sick that there are people that think like you do. Why don't you move to Cuba or Venezuela? I hear things are great there, huh?

How he hell did we benefit? We are not nation builders and we lost over 4000 young lives not to mention the disabled and dsifigured. Do the parents of these deformed babies give a rat's butt that another unaffected kid gets a polio vaccine? Do you know that there are still suicide bombers in Iraq and no guarantee of a stable governement? How could you when you only listen to right wing propaganda?

Clinton was impeached. Where were you? Probably not even born yet. Is that what they are telling you in high school? He was impeached. But thanks to one RINO Republican, Arlan Spector, he wasn't removed from office.

See, you don't even know recent history!
