Findings from a New National Poll show support for Impeachment, Growing Opposition to War on Terrorism


The poll, taken between April 19 and May 5 asked whether people believe that misleading Congress and the Public on weapons of mass destruction to take the country to war is grounds to impeach the President (39% said yes, 40% said no).
BERKELEY - May 11 - Reporting from an ongoing survey of public knowledge and opinion, Berkeley based NGO Retro Poll released startling results suggesting that 39% of Americans favor impeachment of President Bush. The poll, taken between April 19 and May 5 asked whether people believe that misleading Congress and the Public on weapons of mass destruction to take the country to war is grounds to impeach the President (39% said yes, 40% said no). On whether the U.S. should have invaded Iraq the poll results are consistent with findings of Gallup and other major polls (48% said yes).

Other surprising findings were that almost half of respondents (46%) favor an independent investigation of the U.S. role in the overthrow of Haiti's democratically elected president, Juan Bertrand Aristide, and 57% favor a national moratorium on the death penalty because of the procedural problems that have put many innocent people on death row (112 released so far). Four out of five Americans also repudiate the use of torture.

As in earlier Retro Polls most support for the war in Iraq and the War on Terrorism was found among people who still think that Saddam Hussein worked with Al Qaeda (though no evidence has been published) and among the 32% of people who believe the War on Terrorism is preventing terrorism. However, 24% of Americans believe that the War on Terrorism is actually creating terrorists. In addition, 56 % of people who gave an opinion say the War on Terrorism is removing important democratic rights in the US and large percentages (50-80%) oppose various intrusive provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act.

The poll reached 513 random Americans

in other words- those that know the truth favor impeachment. It is congress sworn duty to uphold the constitution, including holding the exec branch accountable. If congress doesn't impeach bushco, we must throw all of congress out as well.


lying to start a war, covering up 911, torture, a CIA staged beheading to take the heat off- if these actions are not worthy of impeachment, what is?

If we 'elect' kerry, he will pardon fellow (skull 'n) boner bush. We must put the criminals in jail, make the bush/cheney families pay out of their own pocketbook- payback all the money they stole.

you know how if a kid breaks a neighbor window, his parents have to pay to fix it..... pappy bush needs to pay as well for his sons theft. All of the wra profiteers need to pay as well, carlyle, halliburton, bechtel, fluor, lockheed martin, dyncorp .... the $160 billion spent on the war should be taken back from these greedy corporations, our kids WILL NOT pay this fuckin bill dubya has stuck us with.

ps- to the freeper poster- Retropoll is based in berkeley... nowhere did it state that the poll was taken on the berkeley campus.

kerry is worthless- do not accept the idiotic logic 'he must be better than bush' - look at his record- he is a proven liar and corporate ho - that is the exact same as bush. fuck kerry and fuck the DNC for pushing this zombie on us- he is probably one of the few politicians that could actually lose to bush in a fair election... he is really that bad.
