Consider the evidence:

A total of 64% of American voters say that President George W. Bush has abused his powers as president. Of the 64%, 14% (9% of all voters) say the abuses are not serious enough to warrant impeachment, 33% (21% of all voters) say the abuses rise to the level of impeachable offenses, but he should not be impeached, and 53% (34% of all voters) say the abuses rise to the level of impeachable offenses and Mr. Bush should be impeached and removed from office.

It’s truly staggering, of course, that 55% of all voters think that Bush has committed impeachable offenses. But I’m staggered by something else too.

How forgiving can a nation be? 38% of the people who think Bush committed impeachable offenses (33 out of 86) think he still shouldn’t be impeached.

That’s some Christian charity!
