tecoyah, I agree that it would do more harm than good to move forward with impeachment, in the absence of strong proof of significant criminal activity. Without that, it's just politics, and the Dems lose both face and fight.
Anyway, I think it hurts the Dems to focus on impeachment, when Bush is handing them softball after softball, if they would simply go after him on the issues. Most obvious to consevatives is his failure to act like one. Instead, he throws money (or says so anyway), and irresponsibly so, at any problem before him, when many times the harm could have been avoided or mitigated by reasoned proactive decisions. The Dems just need to keep their base...if my conservative community is representative of how others feel elsewhere, a lot a Republicans will cross over, assuming the Dems play the cards correctly.
Dems need to take the high road. Anything other than that will only remind folks that "conservatives" and "liberals" are pretty much the same in advocating for their respective special interests, rather than we the people, once in power.
