3) The Zogby poll said 42%. I'd also bet that there was a plus or minus 5% margin of error. Meaning, that it isn't a coincidence that the percentage is close to the percentage of Democrats in this country. Of course Democrats are talking impeachment. They wanted to impeach Reagan and every other Republican President too. It sucks when you are the minority party. Impeachment simply won't happen. It's all talk. But take whatever solace you can from it. I suspect in your world of pessimism, you are like a drowning man reach for whatever piece of floating wood that passes your way. It won't happen today but as more info is leaked in the UK, the support for impeachment will grow. Already your GOP congressmen are doing a lot of sweating. You can smell the fear on Frist and others. No guarantees but the likelihood is growing. BTW some of the congresspeople you all have elected are either nuts or criminal or both. They are not helping matters.

"Meaning, that it isn't a coincidence that the percentage is close to the percentage of Democrats in this country. " So you haven't actually read the poll. If so, you'd know that 25% of Republicans say that if he lied he should be impeached. A large number of independents say that too. Now true, these affiliations are self-described so they could be lying. But to do so consistently would mean that there is some kind of organized push behind it. And that is something that, at least so far, seems to only exist on the Web. I don't know how old you are, but this is precisely how the drive to impeach Nixon started, complete with your list of reasons(save point 2, but Nixon had a point that it was later in his term and Congress didn't have much time to get their act together) why it won't happen. I know because I wrote a paper on why Nixon wouldn't be impeached back in those halcyon days... Now this isn't to say impeachment is a slam-dunk. But it isn't totally off the table.
