Are we going to have a replay of the Nixon era when Agnew was forced out before Nixon resigned?

There are too many differences. Agnew resigned for cheating on taxes before he was VP, Nixon for trying to cover up White House involvement in the DNC burglary. Bush's and Cheney's crimes have been connected (don't say they've done nothing wrong; their wireless wiretapping was against the law).\n\nAnyhow, isn't a 2/3 majority of the senate needed to impeach? The GOP in 1974 had principles and turned on their corrupt leader.The GOP today will stand by Bush no matter what he does.

I have never seen anything like this.\n\nRepubs hated Clinton though he left the country in better shape than he found it. Our current dweller will leave this country divided like at no other time I have seen lately, and in much worse condition than he found it.\n\nLBJ left the country politically in a mess as did Nixon. Both of them dealt with Vietnam one way or another. Of course Nixon ran to get us out of Vietnam but it took him 6 years and Kent State to do it, plus his impeachment!\n\nA lot of people hated Nixon and if it weren't for Bush, he might have been the worst president in history!\n\nI have never seen anything like this and there are very few organized anti-war protests! I think some of that has to do with the military. I have seen more vigils than protests.\n\nThe ballot boxes will be ringing for the mid-term election and 2008. And the Republicans may think a few good weeks will do it for them! Body bags have been coming home for 3 years, and we aren't even at war. I suspect they will still be coming home when Bush leaves, and the country economically is in a nightmare! He isn't going to fix that by giving money to the Rich!

Someone better wake up old George and tell him his career is over. Well at least Wham is over and anything else he did before his wild toilet sexscapades (new word)\nHis new stuff sadly falls short.

It would be EXTREMELY intruiging, however, it will most likely not happen.\n\nA true kickback to the greatness of the Clinton Era.

Try a consiracy. Like the Jkf shooting. Or maybe Watergate. Watergate was very interesting. Basically The leading cadidate for president was so paranoid of the other cadidate he hired spys to well, spy. (to put frankly) Anyway the whole thing blew up after he was president. I'm not sure. History is so interesting.

From what source did you "hear" such outlandish gibberish? Clinton is likely to be listed in the ranks of Nixon. Both of who have been impeached.

Well unfortuneately this is where people are remembered in history books...not always for the good things they have done, but sometimes for the turmoil they created. Let me brainstorm here; The mess that has been created within the Pentagon, prison camps / human rights, enemies of the state, a quagmire in Iraq, General officers either forced in to retirement or walking out the door, the transformation of 'the new Army', backdoor draft, abusive use of guard and reserve troops, and lets not forget we have lost many if not most of our allies....\n\nSome of these things cannot be blamed entirely on Rumsfeld, but when you mix it up with other corrupt administration players it is amplified. He will go down in the books a little bit like McNamara (Kennedy / Johnson Secretary of Defense) did with Vietnam and the Cuban Missle Crisis. The big difference is that McNamara admitted his mistakes - he didn't create all the caos and leave office for someone else to fix. \n\nThe bottom line is that we learned a little bit from that era, and administrations since have steered clear of making the same mistake. Rumsfeld will mark a similar role - 'this is how not to be' so to speak. \n\nWith some of that said; blunders, abuse, failed policy, failed transformation, and discontent among the troops... I give him a 35.

The question for democrats will be just how much scandal can they expose before they will paralyze the operation of the country.  So much needs to see the light of scrutiny they could go on for years holding hearings.  Could we stand it?  Do we want to know?  It could be good for us to see what has been happening these last six years, but I'm not sure we won't shoot the messenger before too long.  I'm sure the new leadership in Washington is pondering this heavily.

The same reason he hasn't been impeached for other transgressions that were clearly questionable. Nixon was impeached for far less than Bush .I hope they do something soon before he runs our country totally in the ground.

Yes. It has happened before, remember the final game in 1990.

The House Judiciary Committee, over the course of four days in late July 1974, improved three articles of impeachment charging Nixon with (1) obstruction of justice, (2) abuse of power, and (3) contempt of Congress.  Nixon, though, resigned on August 9, 1974, thereby avoiding an impeachment vote in the House as a whole.  So no, he wasn't technically impeached, though I think it can be said there's no doubt it would have happened had he not cut and run.

Many of us did have our eyes wide open all along. The longer it goes on the more that do wake up, and see what grave mistakes have been made. Finally, enough people decided they wanted a new direction, and voted for change. I'm just sorry it took six years for that to happen.\nThere is something much deeper going on than what now meets the eyes. The Iraqi leadership in place at the moment, Saddam's death sentence, and Rumsfeld's resignation, are all closely related. I don't know yet how it's all tied together. We will see how it comes out in the coming months.\nAdded November 9, 2006\noobily...What I mean by much deeper going on, is I have a feeling that something on the scale of Watergate is happening. Early and mid-seventies. Nixon resigned to avoid being impeached. Much of his staff was removed or resigned as well. I was too young at the time to know what it involved. Henry Kissinger was part of the Nixon team. The Bush Administration has been having private talks with Kissinger in the last few weeks. I wonder why. Damage control possibly. Advice on how to handle the fallout, which we have yet to see. Some of the same countries were involved back then that we are up against right now. I could be wrong, but it seems strangely similar.

nixon and eisenhower?

No, the fuher in the Whitehouse left office in 2000.  We have much better leadership now.  It shows because the "two minutes hate" posts like the one above are so common, and so silly and full of hate, lies, and bile.\n\nThere is no USS Fuhrer.  There is a ship in the listings spelled below:\n\nUSS Julius A Furer FFG-6.  \nDecommissioned:  Sold for scrap 29 March 1994
