39% Favour Impeachment

So claims a poll published by famed organ of defeatism and liberal flim flammery, Human Events. Now obviously the President and Vice President are never going to be impeached but as InsiderAdvantage pollster Matt Towery points out, numbers like this demonstrate the uphill battle the Republican party faces in the years ahead.

39% Favour Impeachment

31% of Americans don’t know who the Vice President is.

Only 24% of Americans could answer who the Sec. of State, Speaker of the House and President of Russia were.

Only about 25% of Americans could name two Supreme Court Justices, while about 75% of them could name two of the Seven Dwarfs.

Maybe people who respond to media polls are just dumb…

You don’t have to be a moron to be a liberal Democrat but it sure helps.

Agree on that.  I’m seeing more and more knee jerk hatred of anything Bush.  In common parlance there’s been a decreased us of the more vulgar and more use of the less wieldy formal term “vagina.”

I saw no details of charges.  Would it be “Bush lied, people died” and “gays herded into camps and their organs harvested” or is there some sane group I haven’t heard from?

If you believe this propaganda, then there is no explanation for any Republican ever being elected to national office in this country.  Since that isn’t the reality, one might do well to question those “numbers”.
The truth is, the US is predominantly Conservative, since most of us favor the Constitution.

I can name all seven: Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Chris Dodd, and John Edwards, Bill Richardson, Mike Gravel, and Dennis Kucinich.

Nope those are all aliases of Dopey.


What’s going to happen to US industry when the global warming extremists like John McCain double the price of electricity?  I would think all these factories will close and set up in countries where they aren’t scared of technology.

Would it be “Bush lied, people died”

Well, that has proven to be false again and again ad infinitum.  However, the leftists have repeated that slogan so many times that I’m sure that some of them believe it.

They also believe that Bush is impeachable because he caused 9/11.  /sarcasm

If you believe this propaganda, then there is no explanation for any Republican ever being elected to national office in this country.

If you believe that current opinion is reflected in past elections then there is no explanation for changes of government anywhere. I’m all for questioning the validity of any given poll but if the attitude is that unfavourable results imply bias and propaganda then there’s going to be some long faced Republican voters next time.

First, lately I have heard Democrats and Liberal pundits saying how much we need another Harry Truman, but here is an annoying fact for them: While Bush is at 28% approval, Truman enjoyed a huge, unstoppable 23%. Yeah, Harry was a popular guy alright!

Next, we conservatives cannot deny that Iraq has not been smooth and there have been mistakes, which is just like things have gone in every American war, but right now Bush is suffering in the polls for being a normal war time President. (Parenthetically, it is particularly strange how much the public is buying this crap considering our booming economy) But, the Left (Democrat Party + MSM + others) have been in full attack mode against Bush since a few months after 9/11, such attacks are the nature of the beast called politics; and while during a time of war is is dispicable, even during war such partisan attacks are not uncommon.

The point is that I would be shocked if 39% of the public were not in favor of impeachment. Remember, at least that many people think Bush started this war for oil and that he lied about WMD’s! My God, I am surprised there hasn’t been a march demanding Bush be executed and that America should apologize to Bin Laden.

When Bush’ term is over and a couple of years have passed by with a new President, and it doesn’t matter which political party the new President is from; Bush will have very high ratings and a nostalgia will ripple across America for his economic and war time leadership. For now, people are weary of all the hate Bush and the war is lost crap coming from the Left and like hitting your thumb with a hammer, it just seems better to stop swinging the damn hammer for now. Then, when the Left doesn’t have Bush to attack daily, the air will clear and the American people will see the truth and the Left will pay a price for their anti-American policies; and, I suspect, they will suffer bbecause we will have suffered other terrorist attack here at home and the economy will be in the Johnny Flusher. Until then, the order of the day is get Bush, kill Bush - that hue and cry is all the Left have going for them, they have no policies and no ideas, just hate!

MikeA: As long as I can remember, it has been a staple of the news media to state that Republican voters are a minority, thus my statement.  The old meme was that the Dems were the party of the working man, and the Republicans were the party of the bosses.  Obviously, there are considerably more working men than there are bosses, so that was always a lie, but it was promulgated, nonetheless.
As it turns out, when you survey likely voters, the “gap” isn’t all that large.
I notice you ignored the basic thrust of what I wrote, which is that the vast majority of Americans support the Constitution, and can therefore be generally described as “conservative”.  Most Americans also support individual independence, and if they knew the truth of what the Dems have in mind on that score, things would be vastly different in this country, thus the onslaught of propaganda in the MSM to cover up the truth of the Dem agenda.

My favorite-est part is that Chimpy McHitlerburton is not running for reelection. And he does not give a crap about the Republican Party, they having stabbed him in the back so often that Carl Sagan could not count all those holes.

Bottom line? All polls are crap. Period. You are not, not ever, going to convince me that asking 1028 people a bunch of politically biased/loaded questions is going to illustrate what the entire country thinks/feels/wants about anything. Show me a poll with 250,000,000 respondents, and proof of the responses of 250,000,000 respondents and I might, MIGHT, believe what your trying to tell me.

Till then it is all kabuki theater.

r108...sorry for ignoring your point about conservatives and the Constitution. If you define conservatives as those who support the American Constitution then its no surprise that you see a majority of Americans as conservatives. If you define conservatives as those who share your view of the Constitution then it’s not surprising that you consider those who don’t share your view of the Constitution as not conservatives. Since you don’t believe in the accuracy and integrity of polling data and since the public doesn’t get to vote on the Constitution nor on your view of the Constitution then it is impossible to verify your statement.

I would guess that there are many liberals who believe in the Constitution and that there are conservatives who do not share your views on the Constitution which leads me to believe that whether one supports the Constitution is not a very good test of whether one is conservative or liberal. If one believes that the MSM delivers a steady stream of liberal and Democratic party propaganda then one would not agree with my guess at all.

“Belief” is unnecessary when examples abound on a daily basis.
Since I have never told you, you have no way of knowing what my “view” of the Constitution is.  I’ll share it with you: I take it as written and legally amended.
I will also add that most Americans also support individual independence, which is also a Conservative principle, although they may not realize how leftie politicians have been lying to them about needing to sacrifice said individual independence for the false promise of govt-supplied “security”.  This is what the propaganda war in this country is all about.

Well you can’t ignore the polls, provided they are honest.

The public polls are generally crap written with the answer in mind.

The closer you get to an election the better the results are because they know they are going to be checked, that and the fact that people do pay attention more during the Presidential election.

I think people answering these polls aren’t that bright, it scares me that these might be the same people watching Rosie that think there was a conspiracy to blow up the WTC. That being said. I don’t see Hillary getting elected no matter how dumb her voting public is.

I say let them impeach the president. It will only cause them to lose seats. I will take another two years of democratic control is it discards a few more rino’s and moderate Republicans. Because all the dems will do is mobilize the GOP base.
