Why aren't we impeaching president shrub?

Of course, I know why - we have a very imbalanced government in the U.S. right now. But when I read articles about the inadequacies of bush jr. (such as this one of the Downing Street Memo), I just can't seem to figure out how half of the population still supports him. Why, oh why?

People were in an uproar over Clinton getting it on with Lewinsky in the Oval Office, which I might point out did not involve anyone but the two of them (and Hillary unknowingly) until it was blown up into a huge scandal by the republicans.

But somehow people don't care that our tax dollars are wasted on all kinds of ridiculous things, such as imaginary threats of a washed up dictator. They don't care that legislation passed to protect us from pollution in our air and water are now being defeated; and they don't care that programs that help people, such as adults who need job training due to layoffs, are being cut by the bush administration by 74%. These, of course, are merely a few things among a myriad of other detrimental policies.

Listen, if you support this guy and his crooked administration, don't come complaining to us (democrats) about the terrible illnesses your family and friends get due to increased pollution and environmental causes. And don't tell me about how difficult it is to get a job because you can't get retraining when the programs are cut. You brought it on yourself by supporting bush jr. and "moral" agenda, which is nothing more than a thinly veiled code name for increasing the gap between the middle class and the rich.

But, I still say that we should impeach the @$$hole, and make him and his wealthy friends pay off the national debt they've caused us to incur.
