IMPEACH BUSH FOR WIRETAPPING? Most Americans say YES

AMERICANS: IMPEACH BUSH FOR WIRETAPPING

New Zogby Poll Shows Majority Of Americans Favor Impeachment For Warrantless Spying

by Thomas J. Bico




JANUARY 15, 2006 - A new Zogby poll shows that 52% of Americans think President Bush should be impeached for wiretapping American citizens without obtaining warrants.



As reported by Democrats.com, the new poll, commissioned by Afterdowningstreet.org and conducted by Zogby, when asked, "If President Bush wiretapped American citizens without the approval of a judge, do you agree or disagree that Congress should consider holding him accountable through impeachment," 52% of respondents said yes, 42% said no, a 6% were undecided.



The poll had a +/- 2.9 margin of error.



The article on democrats.com points out that the polls the mainstream media has been using have been asking questions that lead to misleading results.



"Recently White House spokesman Scott McClellan cited a Rasmussen poll that found 64% believe the NSA "should be allowed to intercept telephone conversations between terrorism suspects." Of course, that is exactly what Congress authorized when it created the FISA courts to issue special expedited secret warrants for terrorism suspects. But Bush defied the FISA law and authorized warrantless wiretaps of Americans, which has outraged Americans to the point that a majority believe Congress should consider Bush's impeachment."



The lack of articles and commentary about impeachment, never mind criminal charges, has been extremely obvious, and just another clear example of the total control the Bush/Limbaugh right has over the entire media. They made impeachment of Clinton the central story everywhere over something much less, but don't even mention it when Bush openly admits to disregarding the law and committing a major violation of law and the Constitution.



Despite all the distractive stories attempting to change the subject and convince the American people that they should not really be upset, that their neighbors aren't, the American public is not buying it and wants the President held accountable via impeachment.



The numbers are even more striking when looked at by political affiliation. Fully one-in-four Republicans think the President should be impeached, while nearly two-thirds of Independents and Democrats believe he must be held accountable. And it doesn't matter which region is looked at, North, South, East, or West, majorities in each favor impeachment.
