Curious how the rubes at home view the upcoming congressional elections, CNN did a poll over it.  The main conclusion, mentioned in the headline, was a yawner — most respondents thought a Democratic congress would encourage gridlock.

Huh, I wasted time on that?  Gimmie that 10 seconds of my life back, you bastards!

Keep reading though, it gets…interesting:

Fifty-seven percent of the respondents said they think it would be good for the country “if the Democrats in Congress were able to conduct official investigations into what the Bush administration has done in the past six years.” Forty-one percent said such probes would be bad for the country. Half of the sample was asked this question, also.

Grain of salt an’ all, but 57% is not only a majority, but high enough to reasonably assume that this reaches across the aisle.  So if representative, accusations that anyone who wants investigations is a bitter partisan hack are already null & void.  Onward…

At the same time, 69 percent said Bush should not be impeached or removed from office, with 30 percent saying he should be impeached or removed from office. (emphasis mine)

This isn’t a majority, but c’mon, they didn’t even include censure in the poll.  Also, some people may have impeachment fatigue from having gone through that with the last president, not to mention that the question was phrased differently in the poll itself than it is in the article about the results.  The question said “impeached AND removed”, the article changed the “and” to an “or” for some reason, it is entirely feasible that some people think he should be impeached but not removed.
The anger isn’t at my own level — sadly, most folks approach questions of civil liberties like they’re written in sanskrit — but it’s there, an’ the fallout oughta be fun.  Way I see it, since the political process is pointless for anything meaningful, might as well just use it for entertainment purposes.
