If the President & Vice-President lie, and lead our nation into a disastrous war, what's the remedy?

According to a new poll, just out, the American people say "impeachment".

That's good -- that's what the Constitution says, too.

50% of adult Americans agreed with this statement:
"If President Bush did not tell the truth about his reasons for going to war with Iraq, Congress should consider holding him accountable by impeaching him."

39% agree strongly.
72% of Democrats favor impeachment. 56% of Independents do, too.
Even 20% of Republicans (is the cult crumbling?).

The poll was conducted among 1,001 adults last week (10/3-6), by the respected, nonpartisan firm of Ipsos Public Affairs, and sponsored by www.AfterDowningStreet.org, where there are many more details.
