Why was "Impeachment Off The Table"?   
   
...immediately when the Democrats won those previous midterms? Anybody know?

How's that working out now?

1. Because they wanted to win in 2008 maybe?
   
We didn't need to impeach... we captured the reins of government.


How would have impeaching Bush have improved our situation NOW? Would we have had MORE than 60 senate seats?

Come on,you know better then to act rational even for a moment at the DUmp.
You will quickly receive a brilliant and thoughtful rebuke...

25. the economy was not that bad in January 2007.Republicans had been in charge up till then
   In fact, the economy gained almost a million jobs in 2007. It was only in 2008 that the economy started to lose jobs, just 144,000 in January, but finishing the year down over 3 million and losing almost another 4 million through September 2009!!nice job dem Congress

I did think it was dumb when people were still talking about impeachment in March 2008, since the election would remove him from office long before an impeachment could be completed. The candidates were even asked about it and none of them bothered to answer something like "I promise that if I am elected, that I will remove George W. Bush from office".

6. Everything, sadly. Voters like results, even results they don't like.
   Counterintuitive? Yes. True? yes.

Stupid much?

Let's get real and honest, Little Goons (<-- HaHa!)

The entire idea that two-term Republican President George W. Bush needed a good impeachin' was born from revenge for the legitimate and rightful impeachment of that lawbreaking too-horny democrat President Billy Clinton, the liar under oath and justice obstructor.
