Bush's continued presence will all but destroy the Conservative movement for generations if not all together.
I personally believe that President Bush should be impeached and thrown under the jail for a number of reasons, all of which have been discussed at length on this site. However I would make a strong argument for the fact that his presence has become such an embarrassment to the Right wing that leaving him in office is actually the best course to could take. Today Bush Jr. is THE poster child for incompetence and the complete failure of the Neocon ideology and their agenda of fear, ignorance, intolerance and warmongering. The longer he sits in the Oval office the more discredited their fantasy laced ideology becomes, the deeper it sinks into the American psyche that these guys are criminals never again to be trusted.
If impeachment proceedings were to begin today it would be at least 6 to 8 months of hearings, both the House and Senate would be consumed with these hearings and nothing would get done to begin to reverse the flood of ideologically driven legislation and pollicies pushed through by Bush’s lapdog congress. It would make the Dems look mean spirited and vengeful, it would make us look like Rethuglicans, petty, bitter and spiteful.
Bushco’s countless misdeeds and utter incompetence have unmasked the Neocon agenda for all America to plainly see, his continued presence will all but destroy the Conservative movement for generations if not all together. For a generation anyone from the right who suggests that we start a pre-emptive war, expand the powers of the executive branch or attempts to peddle Neocon the ideology of the Uber Right will be called a "Bush" and cries of "Remember Bush" will be heard for years in the halls of power.
As much as I would love to hear the words "Mr. President, you are under arrest for crimes against the Constitution and the American People" echo through the White house... leaving him to rot for two more years (only this time with "adult supervision" of Congress and Senate oversight committees) will have left the Neocons with slightly less credibility that the flat earth society. If anyone should be clamoring for impeachment it should be the right and conservatives, they could use the hearings to tie up both houses for a year and sweep Bushco under the rug as soon as possible, the only problem is that leaves Cheney in charge.
