Can we have a little sanity here, Please?

I seen this and meant to comment earlier. Sorry for the delay.

Why I Believe Bush Must Go By George McGovern (via WaPo)

As we enter the eighth year of the Bush-Cheney administration, I have belatedly and painfully concluded that the only honorable course for me is to urge the impeachment of the president and the vice president.

After the 1972 presidential election, I stood clear of calls to impeach President Richard M. Nixon for his misconduct during the campaign. I thought that my joining the impeachment effort would be seen as an expression of personal vengeance toward the president who had defeated me.

Today I have made a different choice.

I’ve read the reactions, on the left it’s approval and of the right it is, as expected, total rejection.

Here is a little voice of common sense, from a right of center Moderate. (that would be me! Big Grin)

President George W. Bush is only going to be in office for the remainder of this year. I think, unless some Republicans have a major change of heart. Congress is NOT going to be able to pass a resolution demanding articles of impeachment for the President. They just do not have the votes. The only way that anyone is going to be able to get the President and his staff Prosecuted for crimes committed while in office is to pressure the NEXT President to remove his executive privilege, this would never happen, as it has never happened before and it would be political suicide for anyone to attempt anything of this nature.

Honestly, at this point, I think a impeachment trial would be absolutely pointless and, quite frankly, a waste of time and tax payers money.

As much as I dislike this President, as much as I know of how he bungled the lead up to the war and the response after Saddam fell. As much as I know, that is all true, I’m afraid there it little anyone can do. I mean there are limits on what can be done to him, due to our constitution.

I mean, all this rhetoric sounds good and all. But in reality, it’s all nothing more than, just that, talk and empty rhetoric.
