In our latest readers poll, an astounding 91.3% voted to impeach Vice President Cheney! Nine out of every 10 of our readers want the Vice President of the United States removed from office. Even with our site’s progressive audience, this is a damming indictment of the Vice President.

When we asked if President Bush should be impeached in a reader poll in January, 75% of our readers advocated impeaching the President. With Cheney being so unpopular, Bush might want to keep him around to take the heat for him. The Vice President can act as a Republican lightning rod!

In my 40 years of political activism, I can’t remember such powerful numbers against a political figure. This man’s crimes and misconduct are too numerous to mention but clearly our readers have not been fooled by the administration’s rhetoric or explanations of why torture is important.

Should Vice President Cheney be Impeached?
