1. Just wrote Nancy Pelosi (you know, the Speaker of the House?) to support this.

If the Democrats don't even try and impeach him then I'll be going independant in 08.

2. The only thing this video demonstrates is that Wexler is a partisan idiot. He basically is saying that we need impeachment hearings because there are “serious allegations” against the VP. Of course there are serious allegations of wrongdoing made against every administration, usually by extremist elements with no evidence. That is the case here. It is telling that in his public call for impeachment, Congressman Wexler listed not a single piece of evidence to back up the “serious allegations” he speaks of. Cheney has not committed any impeachable offense. The reasonable members of congress realize this, which is why Wexler will be rightly ignored.

3. Greg, if you are correct, you should have nothing to fear from impeachment hearings. I'll bet you exploded in your pants when Clinton was impeached for getting a hummer. Typical double-standard republican reasoning from Greg.

Captain Negative at 4:02PM on Dec 29th 2007

4. Captain – I think you have been misinformed. Clinton was impeached for perjury. Just ask Martha Stewart and Barry Bonds how serious most people take that charge. And, there was evidence. Lots of it. Wexler calls for impeachment hearings and makes serious allegations without showing any evidence.

5. Greg, if you have never lied about your sex life, you obvioulsy don't have much of a sex life.

You SHOULD know that if impeaching a president over lying about a blowjob is valid, so is impeaching a president and vice-president over lying us into invading two countries and preparing to invade two more.

But that's your typical republican hypocrisy at work.

Captain Negative at 6:15PM on Dec 29th 2007

6. And, Greg, the entire purpose of holding hearings is to determine what evidence exists or doesn't exist. You argue that the cart should be placed in front of the horse.

Again, I ask you to compare the gravity of lying about a blowjob to lying about a whole list of questionable activities by the Bush Junta. I ask, but I don't expect a republican to do it.

7. When will the Greedy Oil Parasites stop talking about Clinton long enough to see the criminals they have in power today!!

Impeach Bush and Cheney! Before it's too late!!!

9. Greg, if you are correct, you should have nothing to fear from impeachment hearings>>>

Who fears impeachment? I'm a republican and I was calling for impeachment hearings the day democrats won control of both Houses of Congress. Why, because the truth must be known. Liberals have ruined our standing in the world with a ton of allegations. The only way to regain our standing in the world is with impeachment hearings. Either Bush is found guilty and removed from office, or we learn that democrats did all the lying. Either way, our standing in the world is restored.
Now, one must wonder when the first thing out of Pelosi's mouth is that IMPEACHMENT HEARINGS ARE OFF THE TABLE.
Why would she make this statement? IMO, liberals did all the lying and the last thing they want are hearings that prove it. Give me a better reason, and please don't try the lie that liberals had better things to do.

Reach out and touch reality. Clintoon was impeached and disbarred for lying under oath.

Now, maybe you can explain how Bush lied by saying exactly what democrats were saying when he was the governor of Texas?

On second thought ... go back to spewing as it's all you do well.

You stupid Leftist drone! The truth is not what you mind numbed fools chant like some damn Jihadi ... until you believe it. Stupid is sure our rights and constitution are being destroyed. The only problem is stupid can't give us one example. It just spews like a drooling fool. Nothing new here.

12. Gassett, we actually agree that impeachment hearings should be held. I should settle for that from a nazi like you.

Apparently you know only slightly more than Greg about the impeachment process.

Yes, we all know that Clinton was impeached for LYING about a personal matter - extra-marital sex.

Your bullshit about Bush and Texas is totally non-sensical. I don't just mean that you are being an idiot again. I mean that your statement makes ZERO sense.

You've been drinking again, haven't you, Gassett?

Note the dates, clownboy. Clearly, Bush was govenor of Texas at the time. Does it make sense now, stupid?

"The community of nations may see more and more of the very kind of threat Iraq poses now: a rogue state with weapons of mass destruction, ready to use them or provide them to terrorists. If we fail to respond today, Saddam and all those who would follow in his footsteps will be emboldened tomorrow." -- Bill Clinton in 1998

"Saddam's goal ... is to achieve the lifting of U.N. sanctions while retaining and enhancing Iraq's weapons of mass destruction programs. We cannot, we must not and we will not let him succeed." -- Madeline Albright, 1998

"As a member of the House Intelligence Committee, I am keenly aware that the proliferation of chemical and biological weapons is an issue of grave importance to all nations. Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process." -- Nancy Pelosi, December 16, 1998
>>>>>>

IN the world before 911, president Clinton saw the threat from Iraq and made regime change American policy.

IN the world after 911, no US president be he democrat or republican would tolerate a mass murderer that had used WMD, had ties to terrorist, and called for the destruction of the Great Satan (us) daily.
That you and your comrades can't grasp this real world reality suggest you should concentrate on cartoon and leave the real world to those of us that live in it.

14. And this proves that Congress Wexler is being supported by "MoveOn" and "Daily Kos". Quite frankly, I felt that the Clinton Impeachment hearings was politically motivated, too, which is why I am against this suggestion as well.

dswynne at 8:46PM on Dec 29th 2007

15. Captain - Your theory would hold that all presidents and all impeachable officials should have impeachment hearings in the possibility that they may have done something impeachable. Of course that is just dumb. If there is no evidence to justify impeachment hearings there should be no hearings. It seems to me that you are just blowing smoke.
