I cast my vote and 88% of the people voting (28,200) said impeach him. If only the Republicans in Congress could remember what democracy was like. Some of them don't really like dictators. The ones who side with der Fuhrer are the same ones that think that the economy is booming and Paris Hilton contributes greatly to our society. If I find that magic lantern, rest assured if the genie pops out I will be asking for the impeachment of Bush and Cheney before I ask for my millions. With one wish, I could at least try to put America back on course.

Remember I am not a scientist. I like DR. Senator Frist am a healer. We have to blend science with some people skills. However, unlike, Dr. Senator Frist, I actually see and touch the patients and their specimens and don't make opinions from videotapes. I also have an earthly idea about the value of my stck holdings (zero). Do I act like I feel left out?

Since I fought for the term survey for the last two years with no discernable impact.  There's nothing, zero, nada, zilch scientific about it...but there is a hell of a lot politically about this that can still make us stand up and take notice.  Now stop massaging each other and get your friends to vote!

will ever be announced during regular programing. Certainly it is one of the first such exposures. Obviously it has not yet reached the inhabitants of freerepublic who are very good at 'freeping' such polls.

I havent checked yet to see if this poll has arrived at the DU boards.

We could also use a few more musicians around here as well...just to offset the scientists...hehehe.

their bets as to their political leanings. As Bush popularity(?)wanes, they have to be considering a quick switch to whatever appears to be the future--their ratings($$$)depend on it.

I figured that DU would pick this up quickly.

If the number of responses continues at such a high level, am sure there will be a number of very pale faces around the media. Ought to be interesting to see what the Icons have to say--provided they make any comments at all.

88% became 89%. And, the total number continues to climb.

Anyone want to bet that msnbc pulls/changes the question?

more probably imprisonment for life in a Federal Facility--probably Leavenworth.

If this were to come about...wonder what sort of catfight it would be politically between the parties?

Guantanamo would be my preference so that we could get all his 'secrets' out of him.

If we are willing to give up our privacy to help find the Terrorists.  about 78% say HELL NO as of my last check.

I just went to MSNBC to cast my vote. There were 73,256 people before me and the percentage was 87. I wish they'd put it on the front page so that everyone would find it.

you directly to the poll. Dunno if its still open, apparently you can only vote once.

Tab. just a few minutes ago was over 77,500 and the impeach question was holding at 87%.

High % was 89% for about 15,000 votes between about 25,000 and 40,000.

Seems as if the Freepers failed to catch these questions altogether. They may be coming unglued with all the bad news they are getting.

No telling what this has done to the doyens of the major press.

and it ends up at 87% wanting impeachment ;)

I guess the freepers are in shock and hiding under their beds.

Proud member of the reality based community.

So, Bill Clinton used the same powers to kick down the door of an American citizen suspected of spying, but Bush needs to be impeached for utilizing powers that Jamie Gorelick herself in 1994 said are "inherent" to the presidency....hmmmm.

Quit rooting against your country; well against the US. Go live in Europe with the rest of the socialists and their 12% unemployment and $6.50 gallon gasoline.

the moderators here were trying to say that we should concentrate on the 06 elections and not impeachment....but a guy can't help but think momentem is building....
can I wish upon a star now guys?????????

It would seem to me that at this point this poll could be considered relatively legit since there has to be a random sampling of voters at some point.

This John guy sounds exactly like the last guy who pushed his luck so far that he was ready to be thrown out. How did John get in without a profile or anything??? Sorry I can't remember his name. I guess I tried so hard to ignore him that I can't even remember what he called himself.

this guy just wants to be nasty...but fails to avail himself of the facts. He listens to Rush and reads Newsmax(the Richard Mellon Scaife site).

What we're at here is the basic preservation of democracy. Not in Gaspumpistan, or Hasbeenistan, or Wannabeistan, but in America-stan. Things have been let go far enough, and the time has come for reform, starting with removing all of Standard Oil's little idiot redheaded stepchildren and their hangers-on from the halls of government. Lobbyists in many ways definitely seem to be running this country now, and the energy lobby is by far one of the most powerful. This isn't representative government anymore, it's cartel goverment. So, time for reform. Mark Twain said it best when he observed that democracy lasts right up until people realize that they can vote themselves money, and a quick trip through the newspaper headlines of the last several years, even some of those years under Clinton, will reliably yield that we're rapidly approaching or may have already reached said point.

So, what form should such reforms take?
Well, my suggestion is that reforms start with the wallet, namely yours, mine, and everybody's, by seriously advancing a flat tax, make it 15%, it has worked in other countries already, nothing stopping us from implementing it in america but fear and good sense. Get the monies cleared up, a lot of other things will fall into place, in my view.
The second such reform has to do with how much is spent. The dems, long notorious as 'tax and spend liberals' etc., have had their fiscally irresponsible reputations, such as they were, brought back up to factory specification by the
fiscal incompetence of BushCo. With the national debt now standing at 8.1 trillion dollars, and the interest on that debt now at 4.25% or thereabouts,
if we'd like the greenback to have any value other than as mattress filler in 2025, spending reforms are imperative. If we continue at the rate of deficit spending we're at now, it won't be long 'til we're paying 500 billion a year just in INTEREST on that national debt. 500 billion is more than defense, makes u think, doesn't it? At what point in time will the propensity for generating new red ink lead us down the garden path that almost ruined Italy in pre-euro times?
Another reform is energy. There's no reason on god's green earth other than pledged fealty to the oil moguls NOT to implement hydrogen-as-fuel nationwide, coupled with a robust ethanol production program and an equally robust conservation program. Bush has, if grudgingly, to his credit, made some small steps in that general direction, but nothing that will strain his constituents' luncheon funds etc. More is needed.

If the american indians in north dakota can heat their homes off the sun in wintertime, there's nothing stopping anyone else out there from making similar changes to their homes. If Congress et. al. want to redeem themselves in the public eye, then they need to come out with both arms swinging on the issue of conservation. It also bears mentioning that a successful 30% reduction in american energy usage on average would do wonders for other issues like middle east oil dependency and dealing with great countries like Venezuela and Mexico and other OPEC hangers-on.

Benefit and entitlement reforms: There are too many people that do absolutely NOTHING and expect a free paycheck etc. for it. Likewise the cost of healthcare will continue to match the amount of money the goverment sees fit to throw at it. Modern medicine is no less a racket than energy,
and only one area where spending reforms are necessary. No one wants to deny grandma her heart bypass, but chances are, like with real estate, that the costs will go down, as if by magic, when less taxpayer dollars are provided to pay for it.

More logic, more common sense, and less euphemistic figure skating will be needed from our representatives in the 21st century. Those who don't see fit to fully apply themselves to the task should be asked to step down, and make room for those willing to do so.
Finally, just a point on general philosophy: JFK
made a famous statement, "Ask not, what your country can do for YOU, ask what YOU can do for your country. Welfare-statism is destructive. More focus needs to be applied to individual paths to success, boot-strapping, if you will, giving people pointers on obtaining the information they need to solve their own problems, and become more civically involved. New Orleans was a case of complete lack of civic participation prior to their disaster, and throughout the aftermath. If government is percieved to be other than We, The People, then our representatives have egregiously missed the mark in including the american voter in the various and sundry goings-on. Reform is good, it revitalizes and renews communities, cities, states, and ultimately the Nation by association. If we are to meet the challenges of 2006 and beyond, and be effective, it will only be by way
of getting more people to the polls, and more issues being brought to a public vote, and fully discussed on TV and the radio. We don't need more info-tainment, we need more facts. More opportunities for the public to participate, more real representation instead of INO candidates who then go back to effectively skimming the till at will. People like Abramoff and DeLay are good negative examples of politics run amok, and a disconnect from the people they initially claimed to represent. Doubtless the problems evidenced these days in the GOP can likewise be found in the DNC, and to safeguard against similar problems should the democrats again gain the majority in House and Senate, it would behoove those seeking and holding office to study these events with great interest, and look to their own conduct with an eye to prevention.

Thank you.

non illegitimati carborundum

how can a rational man be a proponent of the flat tax???
the countries that have it just dont buy taxed items if they can avoid it.All the words in the world won't make it a good thing. Cut taxes..make new taxes...meet the new boss same as the old boss and on and on

Just for an update, after 150,000 votes, we are holding at 85%. Amazing poll. We are not alone.
