AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a petition aimed at removing Donald Rumsfeld from his position as Secretary of Defense, initiated by John Kerry. Participants express skepticism about the effectiveness of such petitions, especially given that prominent figures like John McCain and Chuck Hagel have also voiced no confidence in Rumsfeld without resulting in his removal. The sentiment is that the Bush administration has historically ignored public opinion, suggesting that Rumsfeld may remain in office throughout the second term unless a significant scandal arises. There are extreme views expressed, including calls for violence, but the consensus is that simply replacing Rumsfeld might not lead to a better outcome, as a new appointee could be equally problematic. Overall, the discussion reflects frustration with the political process and concerns about the implications of Rumsfeld's continued tenure.

If people like John McCain and Chuck Hagel (who've both expressed no confidence in Rumsfeld as Sec. of Def.) can't get Rumsfeld out of there, I don't know what on Earth a petition started by John Kerry would do. Incase you haven't noticed, not having the will of the people at their back has never stopped the Bush administration before.
 
Is Rumsfeld supposed to stay for the whole second term ?
 
These petitions won't work, just shoot him.

He's not "supposed" to do anything in a constitutional sense. He can resign if he wants to, and he will resign if Bush wants him to, but there is no reason he can't/wouldn't want to stay for the whole second term unless there's a huge scandal involving him.

But considering all the crap he's already done, he'd pretty much have to be caught electrocuting someone's genetalia while jacking off to be forced to resign.

What good would that do? What if someone like Wolfowitz was appointed to replace Rumsfeld? Killing Rumsfeld wouldn't mean you get a Sec. of Def. that's any better than him, just one with a different name.
