As you read the results of this American Research Group poll bear in mind that at the time Bill Clinton was impeached, only 25% of Americans favored that action. Why won't Congress act to impeach George W. Bush when almost twice that number are in favor?
( As for Cheney's numbers....well let's just put it like this: America hates you, Dick.)
The ARG Poll:
Do you favor or oppose the US House of Representatives beginning impeachment proceedings against President George W. Bush?
Favor Oppose Undecided
All Adults 45% 46% 9%
Voters 46% 44% 10%
Do you favor or oppose the US House of Representatives beginning impeachment proceedings against Vice President Dick Cheney?
Favor Oppose Undecided
All Adults 54% 40% 6%
Voters 50% 44% 6%
Okay, so I think I know why Cheney's numbers are higher than Bush's.
ReplyDeleteIf a pollster called me and asked if I wanted to impeach Bush, I'd say no. See, I think the only thing worse than Bush is Cheney. Impeach Bush and you get Cheney.
However, if they asked if I wanted to impeach Cheney, I'd say You betcha! Then, and only then, would I want to impeach Bush.
It's gotta be a double deal.
