Or is it? Seems to me this number would have been a good bit lower even four or five months ago...
There's somethin' happenin' here
What it is ain't exactly clear...
Impeachment polls surprisingly well

Few serious observers think things will ever get to actual impeachment. And yet the American public seems more open to the concept than many imagine, according to a new national poll. The implications of this public sentiment could be huge for the 2008 presidential elections.
Our InsiderAdvantage/Majority Opinion poll asked this: �Would you favor or oppose the impeachment by Congress of President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney?�
Favor: 39%
Oppose: 55 %
Undecided/Don�t Know: 6%
I should note that InsiderAdvantage/Majority Opinion is not a liberal polling firm � it�s led by Matt Towery, a former Republican state lawmaker who ran Newt Gingrich�s political operation for several years.
For a fringe idea, four-in-10 Americans is quite a few. |
By contrast, in October of last year Newsweek found the folowing:

| Other parts of a potential Democratic agenda receive less support, especially calls to impeach Bush: 47 percent of Democrats say that should be a �top priority,� but only 28 percent of all Americans say it should be, 23 percent say it should be a lower priority and nearly half, 44 percent, say it should not be done. |

Like I've said before, impeachment isn't going to happen. I'm not saying it should or shouldn't (I definately have an opinon on it), but that it is only remotely possible.
The Republicans may have saved their own ***es by impeaching Clinton. By doing so they made the process so trivial and political that it will be nearly impossible to impeach another president in the near future. |

Look everyone, he has started yet another thread demanding we impeach W. Bush.
He is either ranting and foaming-at-the-mouth again or, fooling us all, actually aiming to set the world-record for most threads posted on a single, monotonous topic ever. |

Straw man, boy. What are you so afraid of? Too damned chicken to even address the post, can only attack the poster. WEAK, boy, weak.
You're a barrel of laughs! |

And a larger number ( a clear majority) oppose. I'm betting that the majority of those supporting impeachment were Democratic supporters. |

| The numbers, boys, are growing. Again, and pay attention now, whether it happens, or whether it happens and ends in conviction, is less important than it being talked about. I know you don't understand this, but, then, you're not patriots, so who cares? |
