Right now about 30% of Americans are very happy with President Bush,
who was elected by a 51% majority. While I personally believe he's a
moron, there is no rule that says it's undemocratic for a president to
only please 30% of the population. There could be some time in the
future where angering 70% of the population is the right thing to do.
If you had to please the majority of people, then we wouldn't even
elect presidents. We would just vote on issues and the majority vote
would decide what to do.



I understand that and its sorta my point.


It would be unfair to the 30% of Americans who like Bush to impeach
him unless he has done something illegal.




As I said. I think he's a lousy president who has done ABSOLUTELY nothing in
his second term except to defend his flawed policy in Iraq. Not one piece of
legislation has he introduced! But until he actually breaks the law, he is,
AFAIK, unimpeachable.


Yea the Dems and Independents and real Republicans gotta be sure and not
be a completely moronic
and short sighted to do and say the idiotic things that the
NeoCON/RightWing sect of the Republican party has........
"How dare you queston our leaders during war time, ya traitor!" They
aren't even copentent
enough to realize that goes both ways, even in the hypocrite world they
inhabit.



He won the vote, so he is
the president. Besides, he doesn't have any power to do anything that
70% of Congress disagrees with. If his actions are so bad, they can
be democratically overridden by others.



Also true.



You can't just do away with the rules of democracy because they are
giving you the results you want.



Again, that's pretty much my point.
