I'm not sure simple impeachment would be enough for these two self-absorbed idiots. I hate to be that harsh, however, they just keep digging farther and farther into their own muck. What is really bad is that they drag the country down with them and then try to gloss things over by thinking we will believe their lies. The history books will be filled with these two, however I think they will be surprised by the content. They are not very bright at all.

About time more persons stood up and said enough to these two criminals. Obviously those other politicians that supported the war are having trouble admitting to a lot of these actions and their consequence, hence non action agianst Bush and his attack dog Cheney. Unfortunately the expanded office of the Presidency is the issue and with the control probably changing to the Democrats, they aren't going after these two thugs. Whether prosecuted or not the American people deserve some answers about their duplicity in these crimes.

"Their conduct and their barbaric policies have reduced our beloved country to a historic low in the eyes of people around the world," he continued.

The troops, the american people,What about us too, the American People?

What took somebody so long to figure this out? thats what I want to know.

I'm going to need to see some solid examples here, with precedence.

Seems like he has hit the nail on the head to me. Not only should both be impeached, but both should also be charged with treason. They do not have the United States interests in mind when they act. They only seek to pad the pockets of the individuals that put them in power.

McGovern's still daffy. Of course the congress authorized the war and continues to authorize spending for it. Not sure how that same body can then conclude that the acts of the President in that regard have exceeded executive powers. But then again lefty moonbats aren't known for their logic.

They should've been impeached quite some time ago. I'm afraid it may be too late to do anything now. On the other hand, immediate impeachment would perhaps make our generation look less foolish in the history books 50 years from now.

Well said, Mr. McGovern. Impeachment indeed needs to happen, if only to make it crystal clear that these abuses of power will not be tolerated ever again, in any administration. The grievances are dire, as will be the consequences of not holding these men accountable for their numerous infractions.

BUSH ,CHANNEY AND CIA = WAR CRIMINALS

Mr. McGovern is correct in every way. Unfornuately, he is sadly correct in his statement about the lack of courage and conviction among the Democrats. If the situation was reversed, the Republicans would be after the executive branch with every weapon in their arsanel, as befits their mean-spirited nature. That would include a trial for Bush, Cheney, and Rove for capital treason in the case of the CIA leak.

I think the former senator and inept presidential candidate of 1972 is suffering from the same delusions as the rest of his party and some of the mainstream media who have been hell bent on destroying President Bush purely for partisan gains since he was elected in 2000. These sour grapes from DC and Hollywood can't get over the fact that Bush was elected once and re elected again. President Bush has kept this country from suffering another attack since 9/11 and these "ingrates" continue to act like our terrorist enemies around world by attacking the President for everything including the weather…..60's radicals should hang it up!

I think anyone with an ounce of brains and really love to be fair, truthful, transparent, just, and fiscal responsible would come to the same conclusion.
We have the worst administration supposedly serving this nation now than at anytime in its history.
These two in the Whitehouse now make Nixon and Agnew look like Sunday School teachers and upright law abiding citizens.
This president has no idea the damage he is causing this country or if he does then he is worse than any third world dictator that has ever been.
He is bankrupting the country to give his himself, his family, the oil companies, the military/industrial complex, the multi-national corporations, and the richest of Americans massive tax cuts and tries to tell us it is for the good of the country.
If he truly believes that, then he much dumber than I think he is. All he is trying to do is to run this country down so far in debt that we will have to abandon, Medicaid, Medicare, social security and all programs that are designed to help those living in poverty or near poverty.

Whooo Hooo…At least someone in this country has the balls to say out loud what most of us ordinary americans feel but don't have the platform to be heard. Too many whimpy politicians afraid of losing or damaging their standing in the group if they speak up and represent the wishes of the people who elected them in the first place!

How right he is!

Many Americans were angry when Pelosi took impeachment off the table. Myself included. If there ever was a adminstration that deserved it would George Bush's and his cabal. Our country is at the abyss. Our reputation destroyed, our dollar worthless, bankrupted treasury, millions without healthcare, no job security, no jobs, not to mention Katrina and the Dybai ports deal, have all taking a toll on the average American. Although the wealthy prospered plenty. I fear for our childrens future. Lord knows, if we keep traveling down this path we will be spent.

I call on all CNN readers to impeach Bush and Cheney. The constitution clearly states that we, as American citizens, have a duty to keep corrupt officials out of office. Our role in impeachment proceedings is not something to be brushed aside. It is not a right, it is a duty.

If you are as fed up with idiot Dubya and warmongerer Cheney as I am, then act now. It's a new year. Let's save what little global face we have left. ACT NOW BEFORE ALL IS LOST.

I fully support your call for the impeachment of the most unconstitutional administration in our history. What led them to believe they could get away with it is equally amazing. They must believe that by now they own the country lock stock and barrel.

I`ve wondered why this wasn`t proposed years ago, the offence`s have been clear

He's correct!

Right on George. Fear has been the M.O. for this lying administration.

Go ahead, start impeachment motions, I'd love 4 more years of Republican control of the White House when this blows up in your face George.

FYI, Democrats probably shouldn't take electoral advice from a guy who lost 49 states in his presidential bid.

What Mr McGovern is saying is totally true - both Bush and Cheney should be put out of office - but I am sad to say that the political system in Washington could not hope to get it done in the final 12 months of the worst administration of my lifetime - and I have been around since Harry Truman was in office. I wish Bush and Cheney no personal harm but unemployment for both of them cannot come soon enough.

It's time for everyone to take their balls off the shelf and impeach George W Bush and the evil doing VP Dick. Thank you George McGovern for stepping up to the plate.

http://www.impeachbush.org/site/PageServer

McGovern??? These relics of previous eras in america history should enjoy the years they have left by keeping their non-essential and non- requested lame comments to themselves. He, like Jimmy Carter, just need to see their names in print to self validate their antiquated and self inflated egos. They were each much more dangerous as history has proven. Their inactions are partly to blame on where we are in todays world.

Waht in the world has George McGovern ever done for America??? Just sit down and shut up.

Now I know Bush/Cheney are on the right track. Having McGovern critique Bush is like Carter doing the same. McGovern/Carter…birds of a feather…weak, liberal loons, but to their credit, good people. They are just not relevant.

It is way past time. This administration has taken us from a respected nation to the most hated. It has been lie after lie. Good thing he didn't lie about sex as that is an impeachable offence You wouldn't have to be a candidate for MENSA to see that finishing the job his "daddy" didn't would be the top priority of this administration. The cost of this adventure will keep the economy in the dumps for many years to come. Not to mention the people tht have died foir his adventure.He has made a joke out of our rights,

It's too late to impeach Bush, although he richly deserves it. The lesson here is that we should never again elect an obviously unqualified candidate as President. Bush will undoubtedly go down in history as the worst president in U.S history. He never got my vote, I wasn't fooed by his ridulous "compasionate conservatism" nonsense.

Who cares what George McGovern think?

Bless his heart, he is totally right. To save this country from a lier & one who has trammpled all over the Constituion in order to give themslves power & control, 2 people who have knowingly lied to the American people again & again, who have been huge supportes of the Military-Industrail Complex which Ike warned us against, who took us into the completely immoral, unnecessary war & who are determined to maintain American occupying of another country for no reason. Bush & Cheney should be impeached & charged with crimes against humanity. If Bush & Cheney want to see real weapons of mass destruction, all they need to do is to look at themselves in the mirror.

Mcgovern is an ill man, and sometimes people like this will do anything to get themselves noticed.
If it were possible, there are many people who serve in congress who should be thrown out first, and I don't mean Republicans necessarily, but all those who 'obstruct' just to be obstructing. If you check the voting records, you will know who I mean.

I want Bush and Cheney impeached too. Unfortunately, the two senators in my state don't go along with that idea. I suppose Congress is in it too. They didn't have good oversight. They want to appear 'tough' to the 'enemy' and forget to do their job. Maybe that's why they didn't impeach him - because their hands are in it too.

The administration breaks so many laws. Many lives were lost under them. They lied to the American people. They say 'We don't torture' and yet they do it. Because of this war, our debt increases astronomically - and counting.

McGovern is another Dem loser looking for a moment in the spotlight. Just like Jim Bob Carter who we really ought to impeach retroactively. Bush and Cheney have done a solid job at a very difficult time. Their terms are almost over and we will have new leadership. We should thank them for their service and move on. As for McGovern he is irrelevant.

Wonderful Idea George, but, only if Impeached together;
Then, Nancy Pelosi will be Sworn In as President; then run as an Incumbent!

Bush will come out of this smoother than a baby's bottom. He'll be on his ranch at the end of his term cutting down timber and tipping cows. There's nothing the American people can do to guys(Bush, Cheney, and Rove), who designed the first dictatorship in America. They'll all ride off into the sunset. Bush/Cheney will retire counting the money they've made from scaring the crap out of Americans, while they stole American dollars through defense contracts and Iraqi Oil.

Seriously though, America would heal a lot of wounds around the world if these two criminals were impeached and charged for war crimes. Unfortunately we don't have free speach, cause I will probably be arrested for being unpatriotic for saying this.

Can someone put $20 on the books once they catch me.

agreed. our nations security depends upon it. do a bit of 'due diligence' and see that WTC, both towers and WTC7 showed traces of thermite and thermate (used in explosives)… as recently revealed, and confirmed by several physicists. Also, take a look into Minot AFB and the movement (8/28-29/07) across our nation (north to south) of 6 nuclear warheads to Barksdale (an international launchpad) 'by mistake'(?) and our news media is remise in printing! The fact that the ones flying the B52's didn't even know they were loaded with nukes, and left them unattended for hours at Barksdale poses great dangers… as does the 'sleeping guards' (a private contractor, Wackenhut) at a U.S. nuclear facility! Private companies guarding nukes? 'Private' means 'for profit' means 'get the cheapest labor to do the job to make the most money'! WHERE IS OUR LEADERSHIP? And do they have the 'nations security' in their interests?

On Sept. 5, 2007, Syria was bombed by Israel. Israel claimed they struck a 'possible nuclear site'… if indeed it WERE a nuke site… YIKES!!! Our leaders did nothing. Total irresponsibility.

It is in our nations security interests to impeach NOW. We cannot wait another year… our safety, as well as our rights, depend upon it.

What can we dare do when the country is comprised of an apathetic populace and an impotent Congress? The country has already been decimated by illegal immigration, a tremendous deficit, a tanking economy and a free-falling dollar. Nice op-ed, but it is nothing but wasted words on an uncaring population.

It is clear that Bush used many methods to distort the last election including interfering with the electronic voting machines in Ohio. This begs the question will it happen again these machines are so wide open to abuse and hacking as to be laughable. 2008 it seems to me will again bring US democracy into disrepute. I also believe that Bush and Cheney had a much deeper involvement in the 9/11 false flag operation. Impeach both now.

Nobody has taken McGovern seriously for almost forty years. George and Carter are determined to show that libealrism is an uncurable disorder.

Impeachment of Bush and Cheney is loooooooooong overdue! These two military draft dodging liars have ruined our beloved country and wrecked the moral fibre of our great country. When will our senate and congress rise to the occasion?

What a moron. Give it up already, McGovern. You are still playing to your base of the severely disaffected left. You were way out there a generation ago, when you got waxed by Nixon, and apprarently time hasn't made you the wiser.

Please…

Fortunately, somebody has the guts to speak the truth. If the Bush Administration cannot be found guilty of breaking the law outright then at least they are guilty of gross incompetence and neglect.

I'm among the millions of registered voters who also believe the Bush administration is guilty of numerous crimes. I also believe the reason Americans have such a low opinion of congress is because of their failure move towards impeachment, and not other unrelated reasons. Of course, the Republicans are trying to spin this into something positive for them when in actuality, impeachment proceedings would only boost congress's ratings. I hope they will understand that very soon.

I heartily agree & am disappointed in or senators & congressmen for allowing the criminal activities of our president & vice president to continue to go on. There are days I feel ashamed to say I am an American when I see the terrible things they are doing to our country & are getting away with it. We have almost a whole year to wonder what other horrendous things they are going to get away with & further destroy our image & our country's economy. I feel they are the essence of evil.

Finally, mainstream coverage of the impeach movement!!!! Thank you thank you!!!

+THERE IS ALL DEGREES OF BEING A TRADER TO ONE,S COUNTRY.GOING TO WAR UNDER FALSE PRETENSE , LIEING TO CONGRESS , SPENDING OUR COUNTRYS WEALTH AND CIRCUMVENT THE CONSTITUTION.

It's too late to impeach Bush although he justly deserves it. The lesson from the Bush fiasco is that we should never again elect a obviously unqualified candidate as president. Bush somehow managed to fool the voters with his compasionate conservative nonsense. He didn't fool me. I never voted for him, I knew he would be a disaster. I just didn't realize how truly bad he would be.

Tell it like it is, George! These two should have been impeached long ago for their violations. The Constitution requires they be impeached, yet no one has done a thing about it.

Washington was more interested in impeaching President Clinton over a personal indescretion that did not impact the American people's safety than upholding our Constitution and impeaching President Bush over much graver offenses. I suppose that Washington is wooed by the Hollywood 'sexiness' of the Clinton scandal moreso than the seriousness of offenses for which impeachment was first designed… Sad statement…

My last post was probably too weak they should both be arrested for treason .

It amazes me to still see people support Bush, Inc. Seriously, I don't care how die-hard a Republican you are, but this administration doesn't deserve blind support for it's criminal activities.

McGovern is right. We have been lied to over and over again. Does no one in this country care about how severely Bush, Inc. has trampled upon the *founding* principles of this country? Does no one care that these goons have completely ignored the Constitution?

Are we so weak as a nation that we cannot stand up and demand justice? Or is this a sign of what's to come? Has our political system lost all integrity? Because, if we don't hold Bush and Cheney responsible, others will feel that they can get away with worse. And we as a country will end up reaping what we've sown. Not a pretty picture.

I heartily agree & am disappointed in or senators & congressmen for allowing the criminal activities of our president & vice president to continue to go on. There are days I feel ashamed to say I am an American when I see the terrible things they are doing to our country & are getting away with it. We have almost a whole year to wonder what other horrendous things they are going to get away with & further destroy our image & our country's economy. I feel they are the essence of evil.

Bravo George !
These liars led the US on an unprecedented invasion of a country posing no threat to us. The saw oil, the potential to get a US stronghold on these reserves and big bucks.
They've cost us thousands of lives,injury and the loss of respect internationally.
Impeachment should only be the beginning.

Absolutely right, Impeach him! People have to speak up! Lying to America and the world, stealing, cheating, and killing innocent people in the name of his god. He has ruined this country, maybe for good. Let's ask the religious right and the NRA, did you get what you wanted? Was it worth it?

I agree with McGovern that Bush and Cheney should be impeached and it's been long overdue. However, I believe impeachment at this time would further destabilize our country. The grievous crimes Bush and Cheney have committed was done using the fear factor and not in the best interest or consideration for the outcome for the American people. I had to be pure greed for power or some form of insanity to lead this country into the situation in Iraq and to abort the Constitution at will. What we see in places like Kenya, when one has seized power and uses power against the will of the people, can happen here. Bush and Cheney will not be around to help in the healing in our country and around the world, but we as Americans can do it by holding our leaders accountable to us, they weren't.

Thank you, thank you, Mr. McGovern for having the courage to speak out against the Bush and Cheney 'atrocities'! Your integrity is admirable. Hopefully, enough politicians currently in office will put our country's future ahead of their purely monetary interests, and support a Bush and Cheney impeachment..or God help us!

where's my previous post???

McGovern is a senile, irrelevant old fool who is babbling nonsense in his twilight days. It's just pathetic how out of touch these democrats really are.

While I fully support this position it is a dream that will never happen. No one in congress has the guts to support any legislation that comes close to impeachment of anyone. It is close to political suicide to come to the support of impeachment. Not to mention if you only get Bush I would be even more scared at the prospect of President Cheney. Cheney is the equivalant of Bush Sr.'s Dan Quale, as much as we want the President removed, the Vice President being promoted is enough to stop any serious impeachment plan. Go after Cheney first, the other way just doesn't seem good for the country.

As a long time Republican, I sadly agree with him.

While being a Libertarian, I do agree with Mr. McGovern, but anyone should know that this will not come to pass. If George Bush were a Democrat there would have been an impeachment trial in the works for a while now, with the Republican controlled legislature until 2006. But since today’s Democrats are as to quote Rush Limbaugh 'the new castrati' there will not be any sort of impeachment or investigation into what most of the democrats call a blatant attack on our constitution. So then it will be up to the history books, and not our politicians who will give President Bush his sign off, good or bad.

Give it up already, McGovern. You are still playing to your base of the severely disaffected left. You were way out there a generation ago, when you got waxed by Nixon, and apprarently time hasn't made you the wiser.

Wow, it amazes me that people who live in this country can actually make sense out of Bush and Cheney. Furthermore, how can they be defended? "If you are not outraged, you are not paying attention" and "STOP BEING A DICK" seem to be totally appropriate here. Murdering, invading, and lying are so impossibly wrong and wretched! Finally, no information is better than bad information. Really now, what knowledge/information are you fans of these two using to form you "opinions?"

Bravo McGovern! Why aren't more politicians saying the same thing? Speaking from an outside country, Canada, many Canadians look on in disbelief as Bush and Cheney run the United States of America into the ground. Take them out with impeachment. Do it now, while there is still time. Reclaim your dignity and your wonderful country. Remember how Bush sat in that classroom for 15 minutes after hearing of the attack on the twin towers in New York. Remember the Iraq war crimes he commited. Remember his disregard for your constitution. Remember Katrina - look at New Orleans 3 years later. Middle class people and their struggles don't even make his radar, not to mention the poor and homeless. People, do something!

In 1972 we didn't have Fox News. That's the biggest difference right there. Another is that Richard Nixon was a rather shifty-eyed character, impressive but unlikeable (think of Mitt Romney, only even more so). Dubya is likable in a "let's share a beer and watch the NFL playoffs" kind of way.

I sense a change comming in politics. A feeling of hope not felt by Americans since John F. Kennedy held office. Barrick Obama will bring this change, with
his leadership and true determination to restore the unity, integrity and pride
that we have all felt and were once proud of. I think we all feel blessed to be Americans, and still feel fortunate to live here, but have lost our sense of pride
and direction as ONE nation!! God Bless the United States of America and
God Bless our next leader.

Shouldn't this have taken place years ago? Alot of people said the same thing about Clinton. What do I know, I guess. Many Americans think I'm a nut cause I support Senator Paul. I think the majority of us are nuts for not seeing through all the B.S. If it's Republican B.S. or Democratic B.S. it still smells and Washington has been full of it for most of my life. We need a change in Washington but I don't think the so called "Change" that any frontrunners from either party are talking about is going to amount to much. I beg the American voters to research, research, research, everything their candidate of choice has done. If they are a governor or a senator. Research their past and cast an educated vote. Don't just trust their words. Thank you for reading mine.

A Prowd, Concerned American Voter for Ron Paul

More evidence that once you hit 150 you need to shut up….if we "impeach" Bush for the war….we also get rid of all the senators and congress who supported the war (with the same evidence) - we also arrest Tony Blair and the Australian prime minister…lets get him all - anyone who posted in support of this is a moron

McGovern who? where did this dinosaur come from ? oh yea it's election time so every Democrat slithers out of hiding to attack other political groups to try to make points. I'm sick of both the Democrat's and Republican's campaign tactics. The U.S. need's to get rid of these two parties and create some new ones that are truly working for the people instead of working to make their own party's more powerful.

Contrary to the screeds of a few others in this discussion, George McGovern has just as much of a right as anyone here to publicly voice his opinions… and he is likley more relevant than any of us bloggers, given his experience borne of both his age and a political career that likely eclipses all ours combined.

As a life long Republican, I am afraid I have to agree with Mr McGovern. The present administration has done far more harm than good. There is NO justification for violating the Constitution, let alone starting a war in a Country that was not threatening us. They may even be guilty of Treason.

McGovern's point about political courage and the lack of it in the Democratic leadership really hits home. We have a "president" who is not only widely perceived to be incompetent and a liar, but one who overtly threatens the Constitution through claiming the right to spy on, incarcerate, kill, or torture ANYONE without recourse or oversight.

This lack of political courage throughout our institutional leadership disorients and dissafects the majority of citizens, and it encourages the current slide toward anarchy and authoritarianism.

Thank you so much George for reason and sense. It seems like the madness of Orwell's 1984 has nothing on the Bush administration, the darkest and scariest in my lifetime, and I remember Nixon, who was a saint by comparison. Only a Republican mind poisoned and corrupted by blind partisanship, could miss the glaringly obvious unconstitutional and counter-productive behaviour of the Bush admin. There are good Republicans and Democrats, but Bush is fetid bilous evil from beginning to end. It's stupefying that anyone with a soul could support anything about him. BUT, yes, it's too late in the game for impeachment. I say, wait till mid November to then pursue Bush for war crimes and treason.

George McGovern is a joke

no one mentions the wartime profiteering that is going on by this adminstration, and the money they are all making hand over fist. Yet, I haven't had a decent raise in how long? Oh, that's right, 4% is decent. We've all been duped but we're to dumb to know it, and way too dumb to try to do anything about it. I'm only grateful I have no kids to leave this mess to.

does anyone else get the 'your comment is awaiting moderation' message on your posts?

George McGovern? Lost 49 states and his daughter, who later froze to death while high on drugs…. Apparently it's in the family genes, if this is his latest pronouncement.

Amen Mr. McGovern, Amen. We have the worst example of statesmanship in the Presidency and Vice Presidency that we have ever had. Two men with no morals, no scruples and totally dishonest. Our current bunch of Senators and Congressmen have put party loyalty above loyalty to their country, and they have no intestinal fortitude. But we can only blame ourselves. We voted them in. And in some cases, the military/industrial lobbies have left us with the worst government money can buy.
We need a new broom, to sweep both branches clean.

McGovern is right! Bush, Cheney and the current admin are guilty of
crimes against the US Constitution, American Citizens, the people of the middle east etc. The list goes on and on - They should be impeached AND jailed for
all the damage they have done. God help the next president in cleaning up the
national and international mess created by this administration! Impeachment would be at least a beginning in taking back our country!

WOW! 9 out of 12 people so far are in favor of impeachment! Why are they still in office?!?!?!?!? Write your congressmen, tell them you support it, flood their voicemails with the message, "I demand action for the violations of this administration!" It's the only way this might happen. Go to rep.Wexler's website and sign the petition. DO SOMETHING!

What is the point in publicizing this? The people who could impeach Bush, the Democrats, would never do it. That is the truth. The Democrats are not riding any high horse either, contrary to what they think. At least the Republicans are generally honest about who their masters are (the Wall Street 'Establishment').

Democrats are content to deceive themselves of their 'Moral Superiority' while falling off the wagon regularly without any lessons learned. What fools most Democrats convince us they are! Democrats are more shameful than Republicans because they have NOT become conscious of their Own Sins; Cowardly and Guilt Stricken Fools are Democrats, marked best by hypocrisy and adolescent idealism. At all events, Republicans are Consistent, which is both reprehehsible and respectible at once. There are no Saints in this Land of Greed.

The Bush Administration did just what they desired because no one was willing to say NO to them. No force would restain them, of course. The lesson learned is that we should elect people who have more moderate views from now on, and who are more beholden to personal restraint and high moral character. America, of course, is already bought and sold. The best we can hope for is a moderate restraint on our Executive Branch.

A great American offered this advice to the generations that followed, but little by little the stated principles were eroded, so that we now find ourselves in this sad state.
America's Role In The World

On July 4, 1821, and on the 48th anniversary of our independence, John Quincy Adams, then the Secretary of State, said of our Country: "America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own. She will recommend the general cause by the countenance of her voice, and the benignant sympathy of her own example. She well knows that by once enlisting under banners other than her own, were they even banners of foreign independence, she would involve herself beyond the power of extrication, of all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy, ambition, which assumed the colors and usurped the standards of freedom. The fundamental maxims of her policy would insensibly change from liberty to force. She might become the dictatress of the world. She would no longer be the ruler of her own spirit."

When will someone open up true discussion as to the tragic events of 9/11. If this ever happens we won't be talking impeachment of Bush and Cheney - we'll be talking TREASON. And we all know the penalty for that.

What an idiot. Shut up and crawl back in your hole

As a seven year Army veteran, I would like to applaud Mr. Mcgovern for honestly discussing the current situation our country is now burdened by and the Thugs responsible. I supported Reagan and Bush Sr., and yes Bill Clinton; so I cannot be labeled as a partisan contributor. In fact, my comments have nothing to do with partisan politics at all; only stupid politics, treachery, greed, deceit, and murder. As many verifiable facts come to mind as will be found if accountability ever arrives, any somewhat intellectual person has to be asking him or herself how we could possibly have been led so far away from what we stand for. What astonishes me the most is how the multitudes that we have trusted to lead us through the years are sitting around doing absolutely nothing as the war criminals are allowed to lead us and our great nation down a path of definite self destruction. Mr. Mcgovern my hat is off to you and if you need help in whatever form it may be, please email me. I am afraid that this may come down to another civil war in this country, this time based on constitution verses corporate elitism.

IMPEACH FULLY! THEY HAVE LIED TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE How the American people allow that? They should have been impeached AGES ago!

Kenny January 6, 2008 3:42 pm ET

McGovern is a senile, irrelevant old fool who is babbling nonsense in his twilight days. It's just pathetic how out of touch these democrats really are.

Who is out of touch??????

Why has nobody mentioned that Kucinich has already introduced impeachment articles against Cheney?

Isn't George McGovern about 147 years old? Senile old fart.

WHY HASN'T IT HAPPENED ALREADY?

IMPEACH BUSH NOW!

Sadly, while McGovern is 100% correct, the Democrats in D.C. are too soft to even try. Plus, it would likely backfire as no Republicans would ever go along. Breaking the law and violating the Constitution do not matter to Republicans, only sexual indiscretions.

After reading some of the comment's I have come to the conclusion that most Democrat's are pretty stupid. I hate to say that but you are just as bad as the far right Republican's, always the same old song and dance, if there were a case to impeach the President it would have already been done. You Democrats need to start thinking for your self's and stop letting your unions tell you how to vote. Maybe you should start electing some independents and do some research before opening your mouth's about another political party when the Democrat's are just as bad as the Republican's.

Mc Govern was the first candidate that was "swift-boated". After distinguished service as a bomber pilot in WWII, he was assaulted by chicken-hawks and knee-jerk conservatives. If anyone knows evil, from fighting against both the Nazi's and Nixon, it is this former Senator. Where are the other Democrats? And Republicans?

Guess he needs a bit of limelight even at the expense of his integrity,

Don't waste your time, money and effort in trying to impeach them in this last 12 months - join the international efforts to prepare to indict them and much of the rest of their administration for war crimes/ crimes against humanity as soon as their term ends.. Bush will get his legacy - the first American administration indicted, tried and convicted of war crimes.

WHY HASN'T IT HAPPENED ALREADY?

I hardly think it is "irrelevant" to stand up for the values this country was founded upon.

Senator McGovern is fearlessly outspoken, as he was during another dark time in our history.

I agree that Bush and Cheney should be impeached.

FINALLY………Someone with the GUTS to stand up against this administration and someone to stand up for Americans all over this country that feel the same way. McGovern has the type of political posture that maybe the senate will listen to. Why aren't are other senators holding Bush/Cheney's feet to the fire, and accountable for their actions??? Senators…..I'd love to hear your reasons. And thank you Mr.McGovern for standing up for America and what we are suppose to stand for!!

Impeach?

Sent to The Hague in irons for trial as war criminals would be more appropriate.

And then there is always "the Hague" for warcriminals; do not forget Rumsfeld

Impeaching Bush and Cheney would be somewhat short of what they deserve. They should be put in jail, or maybe even be waterboarded to get at the truth of what motivated their actions.

Even if it is to late to Impeach these evil men they still should be punished.

The ramblings of an old fool, and new up-and-coming fools to take his place once he is finally out of his misery.

I am in total agreement with Mr. McGovern. He forgot to mention the numerous cover-ups they perpetrated beginning with the Martin County Kentucky mining slurry disaster.

what does he mean, the time is now? where's he been, in a padded cell?

While everything he said is true, it's exactly this kind of political sniping that my generation detests about how you old people conduct politics.

Surely he knows that they'll never get impeached, so why open your mouth?

What good does it do?

I agree with McGovern but it should have happened when it would have had more impact and saved more American and Iraqi lives in that horrendous fiasco. And perhaps kept us in the black financially instead of now being owned by China. The same China, that has killed our pets and lead poisoned our children, and btw, the "faux fur" y'all are wearing? It 's cat or dog fur, people, from China.
Interesting to note that the two persons vilified and joked about, Carter and Gore, have both won the Nobel Peace Prize…….

This guy was a kook 30 years ago. Now you can mix in senility. It's newsworthy only to Clintonistas at the Post and the Clinton News Network in Atlanta.

You can't impeach George W. Bush.

He has been trying to teach the American public a very important lesson… just because America spends more on its military than China, Germany, Russia, France, Japan, Iraq, Iran, North Korea, UK, Mexico and those savages from Kenya all put together, it does not mean that you can go it alone and do what you like. I believe that we are going to be thankful for this lesson in the future as the globalised world continues to grow closer together.

God bless America.

I like it when someone who no one even heard of is coming forward to criticize George Bush. The war in Iraq is working and you know how I can tell… The media is not talking about it as much. When the liberal media can not find anything negative about the war, then they don't talk about it and it is going good. Over 90% of the people who lived in Fallujah are back living there, I would say this is good. Deaths of American troops are down and the spirit in Iraq is up. Sounds like it is on the right track. As far as anything else, honestly, what has he done that other president's have not?

It's not time to impeach Bush and Cheney its WAY PAST time. It will take the US decades to recover from the damage done by this despicable administration. Why can't the democrats find someone with the guts and conviction to include this sad fact in their campaign platform? The current slate of democrats do little more than tiptoe around this major issue on the one hand and beg for campaign funding on the other. The candidate who's willing to speak out honestly about what the current administration has done is the candidate that I'll vote for.

His defeat by Nixon has left a sad McGovern still revengful. Simply smile at him ( please, no laughting ) and he will once again fad into the great beyond. Such a poor simpleminded individual.

Let's face it, Americans who post in support of bush and cheney are of a criminal mind as well.

93 PerCent of the world's HEROIN comes from AFGHANISTAN…apparently bushCO and CRONYs get a cut of that money…

SEARCH on Gary Webb, Parry, bush, DoJ Letter of Understanding

read the letter of understanding…Cheney and the bush family have been involved in drug running since the early 80's.

bushCO and CRONYs are not AMERCIA, they are the effete rich frat boyz crowd with no stones…and CIA ties

an embarrassment to DEMOCRACY and free elections. They use CIA tactics to win USA elections. DIEBOLD is a subsidiary of Halliburton….in gawd we trust??? right.

.please. erase these folks from history and let them work for a living…IRAQ? That's your tax dollars paying for their OIL DEAL, that will not benefit the United States Citizen one thin dime…who'll make the money????? on your blood ?

BIG OIL.

.

McGovern is an old, bitter man who only wants attention and, like in 1972 he is willing to sell out the United States and turn us over to the Arabs.

Finally a statesman steps forward and says what much of the country wants to hear.

COME ON PEOPLE!! …… LETS DO IT!

OUR democracy has been turning into a business opportunity for this president's administration..! .. who uses our people fas peasants and cannon fodder!

We voice our majority views ..over and over…again…about the FAILED…
BUSH administration and nothing continues to happen! …..
Is this democracy? Letting a corrupt President RUIN our country!
He USED OUR country to destroy an innocent country!

>>LET’S GET HIM OUT!………..AND SHOW HIM…
….. WHAT THE SWEET TASTE OF DEMOCRACY IS ALL ABOUT!
Disgusted US Army vet! ..

I whole heartedly agree with Mr. McGovern. I'd go a step further and ask the United Nations to look into the atrocities committed by these two men and their cohorts and try the whole bunch.

It has nothing to do with guts, partisanship, etc., if there was an open & shut case of all the listed grievances you all have complained alledgedly happened, they BOTH would have been gone a long time ago, and PELOSI would now be president! Can you imagine her as our president??

I don't care who says it; whether it is an old Dem or cookie monster. That fact still stands that this country needs to wake up and take control, "Vive la Revolution!:" Most of these comments are great but we as a nation, not as Rep vs. Dem. should not loose site that this administration still has a year more to destroy us. Don't let this new campaign detract our attention.
Yes, impeachment should have happened long ago and it should be done. And the people that have commented that it shouldn't should step up and state why we should impeach these monsters…Kenny, don't be blind follower.
Dem. or Rep. we need to gain control of this country.

It is astonishing to me that impeachment proceedings were not begun for both Bush and Cheney years ago. It's now or never. History will mark the complacency of the
American people as complicity.

I did write my congressman, Dan Boren of oklahoma, and I was advised that impeachment shouldn't be used as a political tool. What a gutless wonder he is, and I won't give him my support until he changes that stand.

Dear Carl and Rocketdog,
Please place your fingers into your ears then jerk your head out of your anis.

Senator McGovern, is true patriot who's ideas deserve the support of every patriot in this great nation of ours. Unfortunately the only ones remaining in the Senate and Congress, the media and corporate America has silenced by assuming that they are either unelectable or that the public is not interested in what they have to say.

Ah, if only, Bush and Cheney had a blue dress laying around and lied about it… now that's an impeachable offense. Lying to the world, bankrupting the country, having exclusive communication from god, causing the death of thousands of young healthy (our future) Americans, the death of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, the illegal contracts with their puppet masters, the exploitation of immigrants and the outsourcing of America, I guess are only minor infractions.

Senator McGovern is the reason that I became an American citizen 37 years ago and as a citizen of choice I have set very high standards for my adopted motherland as all children expect of the parents that have adopted them. This administration treasonous conduct has not only lowered the standards below any fear, but they are deserving impeachment.

If those people were managing any 500 company they would have been fired. Here is a bulletin for the American people… these are in our employment…they interviewed for the job, they were hired, and failed. FIRE THEM and reinstate honor and pride in this incredible, wonderful nation of ours.

Impeach McGovern for being such a dinosaur. President Bush has done a great job . i would love to shake his hand and thank him for the safest 8 yrs of our lives.

As I recall, didn't George McGovern register one of the most crushing defeats in American Presidential politics? How could he now ask the American electorate to impeach a President when his lack of credibility has been so dramatically demonstrated?

The answer must be that fantacy must be near immortal for some politicians!

Makes good copy for the media.

Bill Bagwell

Go George Go……I fully agree with Mr. McGovern's assessment…unfortunately impeachment proceedings will not happen…the only way the American people can shut or slam the door on Bush and Cheney and their cohorts will be with a solid Democratic win November…..however unless there are major changes in events leading to the election I foresee another right-wing victory….Americans simply do not have the conviction to seek change by electing a Democrat …this was proven in 2004.

it is long overdue…this pair should have been kickd out of the USA two yrs ago

I agree that the Bush administration is one of the most corrupt since Nixon and they are making what Nixon did look GOOD by comparison. That is what is sad.

Unfortunately the leaders of the Democratic Party in both the House and Senate are too WEAK WILLED and lack the spine to stand up to Bush and the Republicans. Even though they have a SLIM majority in both houses of congress they are too AFRAID to do anything that looks like it might hurt themselves.

I am sorry but Pelosi and Reed do not have the MORAL BACKBONE to actually accomplish anything of note. Look at what they have done… They have caved in to everything the president has wanted. Sure they put up a TOKEN resistance but cave in like a wet cardboard box and give the president everything he wants. It's embarrassing to say the least.

The ONLY hope we, the American People, have at this point is for more Democrats to be elected to the House and Senate with a Democrat President. Only then, MAYBE, the Democrats will have the guts and backbone to actually do something like investigating and possibly PROSECUTING everyone in the Bush Administration who has committed illegal activities. This includes Bush and Cheney. But for some reason I seriously doubt they would do much. I mean the cowardess seems to run straight down the spines of the leaders of the Democratic Party.

President Clinton was impeached for what most SANE people could call little to nothing. They were hard pressed to make it fit the definition of an impeachable offense. While Bush has done far worse things and seems to get away with it.

When will the people of the United States and Congress realise when Bush gives a press conference that smile is really a SMIRK at how dumb and gullible the American People have been to let him get away with everything over the past 7 years.

For the record I am an Independant voter and haven't registered for any party. I have voted both Republican and Democrat based upon the candidate.

For those of you taking personal shots at McGovern please consider this. He is a WWII war hero. He piloted a B24 in raids over Europe. Contrast this with the chickenhawk 2 that currently are in charge. Impeachment and subsequent imprisonment are richly deserved by Bush and Cheney. This administration will go down as one of the worst in history.

It just breaks the hearts of the millions of democrats that they really never quite got the best of Bush. Give it up. He beat you. He beat you at a game that you invented and he never participated in. So what's left? "Well, he can't run again, so now what do we do? Oh, I know. We'll get one of our democratic patriarchs to lead the charge of the exile of Bush and Cheney. What's that you say? Kennedy is drunk and even Carter isn't that stupid. i guess McGovern will do." - Seriously, this is who is leading your revolt? Nixon would have won all 50 states in 72′ , but D.C. and Mass can be won by a hamster as long as he runs democratic.

Didn't like my last comment huh!

Did you print it off and take it home with you?

Truth

"What in the world has George McGovern ever done for America???" asks "rich" above. Well, let's see:

He flew 35 missions as a B-24 pilot over Germany, earning the DFC (or those like "rich" who've never heard of it, that's the Distinguished Flying Cross, handed out to those who displayed ""heroism or extraordinary achievement in aerial combat."

Served two terms in the House, three in the Senate

Stood fast and usually alone against our involvement in Vietnam because, as a combat veteran, who knew firsthand the waste of life loud, uninformed hubris results in.

That's what he's done, rich, you sanctimonious pus bag. What exactly have you done to best those accomplishments?

George who? Considering he's been out of the public limelight now for over 30 years and never was of much significance before then, I'd say we were listening to the sinility of an old man who's own self-importance he greatly exaggerates. Kinda like Jimmy Carter. Somebody with a lot of money should buy him a Nobel Peace Prize too.

Way to headline another 'Impeach the Republican' story CNN. You never fail to unimpress.

This is the best idea we've heard today. Now the question is, will this spineless congress step up to the plate? Not hardly. All they worry about is there political perks and "blessings."

COME ON PEOPLE!! …… LETS DO IT!

OUR democracy has been turning into a business opportunity for this president's administration..! .. who uses our people for peasants and cannon fodder!

The Senator is right!!! Out with those "legal criminals" that "steined" America's good stand all over the world !!! And thanks God for this "kid" that he is sending to us, ,Barack Obama, bringing America back to the ideals that made this Nation the greatest ever !!! Myself, like other millions, truly believe in his future performance, together, with the american people !!!

Time for you to check into a rest facility George.

Notice that those who disagree with Sen. McGovern never make any effort to praise Bush or defend his policies. Instead, they fall back to the tried and true Republican slime machine tactic that refuses to address the issue, but attacks the messenger.

I wonder how many of these folks who have such disdain for McGovern because of his age will be voting for the youthful Obama instead of 72 year old McCain.

George McGovern…please.

On what grounds would any congressman bring impeachment charges against a president who has taken brave and necessary actions against enemy combatants, harborers of terrorists and insurgents.

These enemies have clearly demonstrated by their actions and words they hate ideal of freedom on which our country stands. Remember these enemies willing spilled the blood of innocent Americans on and before 911……and most likely will again!

Jimmy Carter, George McGovern and liberals far to the left…. would more likely hand our enemies the keys to the city, than convince themselves to fight these barbarians to their knees.

Your pal William Jefferson Clinton underfunded our military and paid far to little attention to foreign matters…McGovern is barking up the wrong tree.

Censorship Sucks!

Thanks CNN

Our weak Congress doesn't have the balls. When you vote, make sure it is for anyone that has never been in Congress before.

Here is a guy that should really retire and be a designated driver for Sen. Ted Kennedy or maybe a marriage counselor for Sen. Hillary Clinton. President Bush's accolades won't be acknowledged until long after he leaves office, kinda reminds me of what Reagan went through, yet he still will be thankful to an ungrateful nation. Democrats seem to only care about what's cool in the world of politics, not what is right or wrong.

To CNN:

Would you please report on some of the good things taking place, and I know there is at least 1, from our efforts in Iraq, your scaring the democrats into thinking the worlds going to end and that they have all the answers.

Hey George.. What is wrong with you? You need some Psychiatric help. Do not offend me neither our elected President.

Yes, this gang of evil doers and their "puppet" George need to be held accountable for the death and destruction they have wrought upon this earth. Impeach now, and try for war crimes!!!

Those of you who are attacking McGovern are to be reminded that this is not about McGovern. What is your argument against what he is saying about Bush-Cheney's impeachability? BTW, he is not the only one and certainly not the first; Volumes have been written on this issue. Do you think Bush-Cheney have really NOT committed any impeachable offense?? If so, present your case. Stop attacking the messenger. Impeachment is not supposed to be politically correct or timely. It is NEVER too late to impeach a criminal Prez/VP. It is a Nation's moral obligation. It will remain a sad irony of American history that the most impeachment-worthy President was never actually impeached!

Whoever said that communists, us haters and cowards are gone from the US was wrong.
McGover, Carter; good samples of us haters and communists that only want the US to retreat and surrender to any enemy.

Well, we are a nation of loud, beer-swilling frat boys with no respect for anything or any one, including our own Constitution.

What kind of leadership did Mr. McGovern think we'd get?

What has lowered the esteem of the US in the eyes of the world are the comments such as these by Democrats who are on the extreme end of the political spectrum and then spread far and wide by the media. That is exactly how the story is told and why America is sullied in the world press. Former Senator McGovern does not have America's best interest in mind speaking of impeaching the President. Too bad Mr McGovern cannot let go of partisan politics even now this many years out of office. President Bush is our President he was elected twice and is unpopular among close to half of the nation, the rest thinks he is outstanding. He is about the only one with the guts to stick to the ideas and plans that were espoused by even Ms Clinton concerning Iraq. So if you refer to Bush lying about WMD (which he did not) then just remember the long list of Senators and politians on the other side of the isle who were telling their constituents the same thing about Sadam and his WMD. Or do the democrats wish for us to forget that bit of history simply because of the power struggle for the White House and the Congress??? I know the American electorate might not be the smartest, but we really do not have that short of a memory.

I agree 100% with George. It will never happen in this era but I agree 100% that it should.

It's surprising how so many seemingly intelligent people could be so blind and not be willing to consider the truth in what an elder senile statesman has to say.

little too late for that .. dont you think ?

I believe George McGovern to be exactly right. We elected the democrats and the republicans into office. When will they start doing the will of the people and stop placing their party beliefs ahead of whats best for the country. Both sides of the floor need to come together like they did after 911 and vote to impeach Bush and chaney before we are the most hated country in the world. We are already on that road. We cannot take another year of thier incompetence and lies. Am I the only one who can see that they are manipulating the oil industry to make themselves rich before they have to leave office. These two need to be removed from office for the good of our country.

President Bush!! Please resign for the good of all Americans and the reputation of the America in the eyes of the world. Make that speech and let that be your legacy that you resigned for the good of the Country. You were once a great American, show us that you still care.

George McGovern is not running for President. He is instead, once again, telling the truth. Telling the truth, and acting courageously, is not politic for either Democrats or Republicans. I myself do not favor the impeachment of Bush and Cheney–even though they so greatly deserve it for their crimes and for what they have done to our country–because it would lead to little good and would disrupt the ordinary functioning of government. When the Republicans impeached Clinton–a gross injustice absolutely disproportionate to his offense–it was bad for the country, and it disrupted the good work of a great many people. But then the Republicans didn't care much about what was good for the country. It was one more act of extreme partisanship, and it has been the manner of Republican rule ever since. Instead of a traumatic and destructive impeachment now, let's work for some change in the next election. And let's work hard and with perseverance. There's way too much that is great about this country to let let the Bushes and Cheneys of this world anywhere near leadership again.

I strongly agree with McGovern about impeachment of Bush and Chaney. Both and there staffs are no different than Hitler in my eyes and the worlds eyes. I am a strong democrat also my family members are. The speaker of the house who is the first woman speaker should also be impeached but she is to lazy. What a disappointment in her. MY QUESTION IS THIS WHAT PUTS THESE PEOPLE IN THE WHITE HOUSE AND STAFF MEMBERS ABOVE THE LAW? ALSO WHAT PUTS THE DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS ABOVE THE LAW. IF AN ORDINARY CITIZEN DOES SOMETHING WRONG WE GET IT FULL FORCE BUT IF A POLITICIAN DOES WHAT THE H__L. YOU ARE SUPPOSE TO TEACH YOUR CHILDREN TO LOOK UP TO THESE PEOPLE?????????????THESE PEOPLE ARE SUPPOSE TO BE ROLE MODELS FOR OUR CHILDREN????????????HOW DOES A PARENT DO THAT?????????????OUR SYSTEM OF LAW AND ORDER IS COMPLETELY BROKEN DOWN THANKS TO THESE CLOWNS AND THAT DOES INCLUDE THE DEMOCRATIC AND REPUBLICAN PARTY. THEY ARE JUST IN IT FOR THE MONEY AND THE H__l WITH THE AMERICAN PEOPLE JIM HALL

If they held the 1972 election again today, I still vote for Richard Nixon!

I voted for McGovern in 1972 and Carter in1976.
These are my two worst political decisions, I ever made.
Carter is directly responsible for the middle east mess.
Neither of these people had a backbone then or now.
I thank GOD for Ronald Reagen and George W. Bush, two men of great integrity.
The democratic party has degenerated in to a do nothing party — just complain.

as to the comments by george "i can't get elected" mcgovern, it appears to me that there comes a time when he needs to remember that it is permissible to have an unexpressed thought.

The man has a point……

It's not going to happen nor is it in the best interest of the country. Mc Govern's judgement is flawed just as it was in 1972 when he lost in a landslide, Watergate or not. We don't need a three ring circus in the middle of a general election cycle. Better to let their terms expire and be done with them.

While granting the the Clinton impeachment was misguided and the consequences of Bush & Cheney leading us into the quagmire that is Iraq are way more serious, we can't put the country through this. Please George, go home and be quiet.

thanks for posting my comment!

WE HAVE found priests, CEOs, school teachers, judges & coaches gulty for their crimes!

Let's GET… A PRESIDENT… AND …VISE PRESIDENT!

I said that 2 years ago. Unfortunately Nancy Pelosi and the weakling democratic congress do not have a backbone.

McGovern was a failure in 1972 and remains so today. What has he done positive for the USA in his career that was even remotely significant? Nothing. What does his most recent diatribe mean? Nothing more than an old tongue that loves to wag. McGovern in 2008. HA!

And about Kucinich's impeachment articles against Cheney? He has them with him as he tours Ursa Major with the inhabitants of Orion's belt. Which figures, since we never see him in his northern Ohio district.

As Bush would say, Mcgovern is wrong about this, just as he was about Vietnam. Because that was a widely successful war wasn't it? I applaud Mcgovern for speaking up, although it will fall upon deaf ears. Regardless, it still needs to be said. This administration would be hilarious if it wasn't destroying our country for years to come. The debt that is being piled up as I type this is nearly incomprehensible, yet public schools are still facing yearly cutbacks. Our international image has been damaged to the point where it is much safer to identify yourself as Canadian when traveling abroad. Bush will go down as the worst president in the history of our great country. There is some debate right now, you might say A. Johnson, maybe Hoover, or maybe Nixon, but Bush is easily surpasses them in incompetence. If the goal is to leave the country better off than when you started, then he has failed miserably. We really, really, really, need a good president to try and fix this huge mess.
I like how someone said that Mcgovern never did anything for America. If you would educate yourself at least in the slightest, you would know Mcgovern is a veteran World War II, and flew combat missions in the Air Corps. He was also a longtime representative, and has done far more for America than you have from behind your keyboard.

McGovern should be commended for his willingness to voice an unpopular opinion.

Safest 8 years?!?!?!?!?! We were attacked under this idiots watch… IDIOT!!!
