I'm no big fan of GW, but I'm also of the mindset he didn't do anything so terrible as to be impeached. Voted out next term? You bet. Being impeached? No way.
He did what he felt was best for the country, right or wrong. Sure, there were probably oil interests and maybe he jumped the gun, but what president or politician hasn't had a special interest? What do you think gets them elected?
So often, we forget that politicians are people just like us. They have their own built in agendas, biases, conflicts and ways of getting things done. It would be impossible to expect someone to be 100% perfect and totally without fault.
As a webmaster, don't you send traffic to the guy who pays you the most or treates you the best? Politicians represent one thing: VOTERS. They don't represent people, they represent the people who got them there. It surely wasn't Stanley Whackmadick who sat home on election day or didn't attend a fundraiser.
Poor judgement should not be a reason for impeachment. I felt the same way about Clinton as I do about Bush in that regards. They often have to do things they don't like or want to do. They are often put in a difficult position trying to please everyone.
