Even now, the Bush Administration has plenty of defenders. They see any attempt to bring down the president as an attack on themselves and their ideology. They would see the fall of Bush as their own failure and will stop at nothing to shield what remains of the Bush Administration-- a vestigial symbol of all they believe in.

On the other hand, the Democratic leadership is behaving much like a co-dependent in an alcoholic household: coddling and enabling the destructive drunk while trying in vain to keep up appearances.

A good example of a Bush defender:

'The Coming Impeachment
By Rocco DiPippo
FrontPageMagazine.com | Thursday, October 19, 2006'

'A plan is in place to censure and impeach President Bush and Vice President Cheney. Orchestrated and organized by the radical Left and Congressman John Conyers, Jr., this plan is ready to go should the Democratic Party take control of the House of Representatives in November.'

'The plan is the ultimate manifestation of left-wing hatred for George W. Bush rooted in the contentious election of 2000. Since failing to defeat Bush in 2004, the Left has focused its efforts on destroying his presidency by assembling a list of charges aimed at impeaching him.'

He should be impeached...or at least Cheney should be....

oh wait, that was tried


it failed

In the last Newsweek poll, Kucinich was at 2 percent. Now, he's at 4 percent.

To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else."
-- Theodore Roosevelt, 1911

Bush is a chip off his grand-daddy's and daddy's blocks. Prescott Bush was a financeer of Hitler's Nazi party in Germany, then profitted handsomely throughout WWII.
George H.W. Bush (I) financed by oil, the Saudi's and Noriega's drug money, then turned on his former ally, incarcerated and has since indefinately detained Noriega to keep him silent about their illegal collusion.
Little "W" took plays out of their playbooks and pinned 9/11 on Iraq, when in fact, the majority of the hijackers were Saudi citizens, skirted off the Saudi royal family in private jets (while others were all grounded in the aftermath of 9/11), and made certain the FBI and CIA would and could not interview them, due to their hold and generous contributions to his own failed personal business ventures. Let's not forget Bin-Laden is a member of the Saudi royal family, himself, and being financed by them directly.
"W" has hijacked this country, our laws, morality and exploited each with fear-mongering and false threats. The anthrax scare after 9/11 was hyped: the anthrax came from our own military bases, not overseas, but it scared the pants off Congress enough to approve everything the Liar-In-Chief wanted.
Now, we have a $9-trillion debt, nearly 4,000 US military personnel dead, countless wounded physically or mentally, not to mention 100's of thousand Iraqi citizens. Despite rhetoric the surge is working, we've had over 850 US dead, the highest since the war began in 2003. Oil is nearly $100 per/barrel, and our US dollar is at an all-time low on the world currency market.
Not to worry. Bush (Hunt Oil & Carlysle Group) and Cheney (Haliburton), Bechtel and Prince (Blackwater) have made billions with no accountability, oversight, competitive bidding or adherence to the rule of law (domestic or international). The suffering of millions is of no consequence, just so they get theirs and do not have to pay or answer for their crimes.

Try out this hypothetical situation for size...

That the Democrats have been threatened with severe repurcussions if they deviate from the Bush-Cheney game plan.

Is there anything about the Dems' actions that would seem inconsistent with such a scenario?

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else."
-- Theodore Roosevelt, 1911

The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed -- where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once." -- Justice Alex Kozinski, US 9th Circuit Court, 2003

Deja Vu, Nixon scandalized republican party for many years, they were unable too recover, so will this past 8 years culminate in republicans for many years being looked at as the cause for all that befalls us, if the economic experts are right and the falling dollar is indication of economic ruin coming, a 1929 style depression is coming too make that one look mild with added oil issues, like then the outgoing republican president rightly or wrongly got blamed for that era, fiasco, and same will happen now, not surprising that a man who never was successful in his business life, has bankrupted this nation for his oil baron buddies benefit, no doubt his comments on retiring and refilling his coffers was not just the speaking circuit but his buddies giving him his kick backs once he leaves office...Cheney gets his from Haliburton and no doubt Bush gets his there and other places too, maybe those missing billions in Iraq will mysteriously end up in some of those kick backs....

Lets call it what it is. The democrats in Congress are the most cowards ever assambled in one Congress. This is the worst Congress ever. How did we elect these idiots? Beats me. In every bunch of democrats there are a few traitiors and the republicans play them well. We have to get rid of this people. They are killing this country.

Wow, over a thousand posts here and the HuffPo editors -- who they? -- still deem the Kucinich impeachment resolution a non-story. But Bloomberg to appear in SEX AND THE CITY!

But we all know that Arianna has deemed impeachment to be off the table so she chooses to ignore the story...in hope it goes away.

So very MSM. And so very un-Democratic.

The approval rating he has is more than he deserves.....He should be at about 0....yes that's 0...

Bush does not control Congress. AIPAC, the armaments industries, and cheap labor does. Don't bother calling your representatives, unless you can offer a bigger bribe than the ones mentioned above.

'Blank check' seen headed Bush's way, despite Democratic promises to change course in Iraq
