So, 14% of the Democrats in the House support the
impeachment probe for "misleading the public to go to
war," "authorizing torture," and they may add the
wiretapping of terrorists on as well before it's all over.
Of course, Bush didn't mislead the public, authorize
torture -- and the wiretapping of calls between US
citizens and foreign agents without a warrant is not only
legal, it would likely take a Constitutional Amendment to
strip him of that power.
But, regardless of those facts, it seems to me that we
have a pretty clear split between both parties that needs
to become an issue in the 2006 elections. Republicans
believe that we need to act aggressively to defend
Americans from terrorists who want to harm us and
Democrats believe that the President should be impeached
for acting aggressively to defend America from terrorists.
That's why all Democrats running for reelection in 2006
need to be asked, for the record, if they support the
impeachment of President Bush. In other words, do they
support the partisan attempt to undercut the Commander-in-
Chief, in a time of war, for purely political purposes or
are they concerned about defending America? That's
something the American people need to know before they go
to the ballot box in 2006.
