I would like to see impeachment, but for different reasons than Med. I think a long and drawn out impeachment process would help people see that there is no significant difference between the "two" parties, and that they are just locked in a power struggle that has nothing to do with trying to govern wisely. Not to mention the fact that the government that governs least governs best, and if they are busy attacking each other, they will have a lot less time to pay attention to me.
Unfortunately, impeachment is a political non-starter. The only people who are really supporting the notion are the fringe folks way out on the edges; lefties who are convinced that Bush's poor policies were a result of some kind of vast corporate conspiracy rather than simple stupidity, and staunch conservatives who recognize that there is nothing "conservative" about invading a third world country and spending money like a drunk Democrat. The vast majority of Americans are the folks in the middle, who just want to see some solutions instead of constant bickering and power grabs.
On another note- Med, would you please quit railing about "poor people?" We don't have a poverty problem in this country. We have a problem with how we deal with drug addicts and mentally ill people; we call them "homeless." Take those folks out of the equation, and you are talking a bout a group of people who are CHOOSING a particular lifestyle. They can only be called "poor" in relation to the megarich. You really have to go into other countries to find truly poor people. We've got it real good here, and that's the truth.
