Is impeachment the only way we're gonna be able to save the country...?

robert parry's been kicking impeachment around again... (see "can bush be ousted" and "what to do about the bush problem...")

my fondest wish is that things would become so bad for bush that he would have no choice but to resign... i can hardly bear to watch this country be trashed any more than it has... maybe there's some deus ex machina event that will force him out... i had hopes for fitzgerald and that may still be worth hoping for... but it's looking increasingly like impeachment may be the only way out and even that's a huge stretch...

The conventional wisdom – virtually across Washington’s political spectrum – is that the impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney is unthinkable, and without doubt, it would be extremely difficult to engineer.

But a better answer to Americans interested in holding Bush and Cheney accountable is that impeachment is possible – if enough voters want it to happen.

Say, for instance, 75 percent of voters favored impeachment and considered it a decisive issue in how they will cast their ballots. Would politicians facing such a popular groundswell risk their own jobs to save Bush and Cheney?

Or, put differently, what would happen if voters – beginning with state and local elections on Nov. 8 – rejected every Republican on the ballot? Would the public hunger for accountability begin to sink in then?

Crazy? Well, there are signs that even in Red States, Bush is becoming a drag on Republicans.

i just want to see the destruction brought to a halt and i'm caring less and less about how it happens - only that it happens...
