What is truly Wrong with the U.S. Government

I have read many posts regarding threats to Impeach the President of the United States, George Bush . What is the Democratic Party suppose to do with this dilemma that has been placed at their doorstep?

They cannot do anything. If they bring impeachment to the table they will look like the bad Party. If they do nothing they will look like they are doing nothing. So they (The Democrats) are between a rock and a hard place. Damned if they do, or damned if they don't.

Logically it is too late for anything in the lines of impeachment to be truly effective. The time it would take to do this would exceed the remaining 18 months in the Bush/Cheney administration. It would take away the time left for the true Democratic Houses to achieve something during that period of hearings etc.etc.

Only three Presidents in History have been brought up on Articles of Impeachment. All three were ineffective. Not one U.S. President was truly impeached. Two were exonerated, and the third resigned before the final vote.

One year ago would have been the time to act if you believed that George W Bush and Richard Cheney were culpable in Treason, Bribery and high crimes and misdemeanors. And not one of these points could have been proven in my opinion.

So just because the American public is disappointed with the Executive branch of government, is not a reason to go to the extreme of impeachment proceedings. The general population that is calling for this does not understand what must take place for this to happen.

Concentrate on getting the main objective completed. The Iraq War is the cause for this. In all likely hood we will be extracting our troops after General Petraeus makes his recommendations in September 2007. Things are just not going well at all in Iraq. And the Iraqi Government has not stepped up to the plate and taken control.

So where do we go from here? We evaluate the candidates for the Presidency for the election on November 4, 2008.

Who will it be. Hillary against McCain. Obama against Giulianni. Or Fred Thompson against Al Gore? Who knows what will happen.

Let us not forget we do have demons at our doorstep ready to attack our homeland. And anything that occurs during the next 18 months may sway what the outcome of the election will be.

God bless America. And God bless our troops who are fighting cowards in Iraq. If it were not for them we would be speaking a different language in the next 10 years.
