The FACT is that CLINTON actually did an impeachable offense -- he LIED to a Grand Jury (under oath) -- Bush has done NOTHING that rises to an impeachable offense, unless of course being hated or being a total dumb-*** is considered an impeachable offense. THIS patriot knows this.

Seriously, there are republicans in Congress & the Senate talking impeachment.... The people have spoken & they are starting to listen.

A PATRIOT WOULD PAY ATTENTION

You friggin' leftist Liberals need to get it through your thick heads that GONZALES DID NOTHING ILLEGAL IN THE FIRINGS OF THE FEDERAL PROSECUTORS. The key word is ILLEGAL. This whole *** is purely a poltical witch-hunt by Democrats and other leftist idiots. Yes, he might have done something unETHICAL or imMORAL by doing it, and yes, he did ****-OFF a lot of Democratsa and other leftists, but, again, NOTHING ILLEGAL has been/ever was done. GET OVER IT and focus on SOMETHING IMPORTANT.

Exactly. It's not 'executive privilege' if the President's already stated he wasn't involved in the firings! That's a pretty poor case...

By claiming 'executive privilege' the Prez has delayed any forward momentum on this issue until after he leaves office; so its essentially OVER... politically. But, I ask the loyal Repubs on this thread, is that 'justice' for the people of this great nation? To not understand how this guy fvcked us WHILE he was fvcking us? I submit to you that if you think so, you have no business living in a democracy, and may be happier living in modern Russia or China.

In the long term, this issue is not going away. If evil was done, eventually a reckoning will be made, and the perpetrators arrested. This country can have a LOOONG memory when one is required.

Bush is a Republican. Those who pay eventually for his crimes may ALSO be Republicans. Keep that in mind.

Thank God we have a President who is more willing to fight his own Congress and Senate than hold Iraqis to any sort of goal. George's words are empty. He speaks from old tapes, keeping unethical secrets, and continues to hold a minority legion of followers who don't recognize the foul smell of confused, fearless deception that is emitted from the President's mouth.
Whatever we do, let's not hold George accountable for anything. George is a good man, always doing what he said he would.
Are you sick yet?

Our President did irreparable damage to the office he holds. Our President put our troops in harm's way over unbridled and reckless contempt for Saddam. Never before in our history have we been in such contempt in the eyes of the world thanks to one man. We know this man cannot admit being reckless. We are stuck with this guy who thinks he's a gunslinger, and shoots from the hip. I didn't think the President could actually be stupid. I held out hope. Our President takes away hope and replaces it with an abundant spread of lies on a lovely table of deception.
Let us honor our soldiers for obeying the word of the Commander in Chief; then let W live out the rest of his life in shame.

Now America is in deep..deep trouble.

Bush must step down before he is being impeached spending money in the unwinning war without the American public approval

Bush is now going down...Cheney will follow suit

People are asking for the funds...where did it go?

The Iraqis and Afghanistan civillians denied receiving any compensations for the war

Where is the money Bush?

He has probably made a deal with the courts and there we go again. If he only planned the Iraq war AS GOOD AS HE PLANNED TO NAIL THE DEMOCRATS AT EVERY TURN WE WOULD OF BEEN HOME FROM IRAQ A LONG TIME AGO. One thing he can do is add and he knows there are not enough democrats to get anything done. Too many republicans but 2008 I wonder

Having looked at the progression of gray in The President's regal hair, one can only hope he will age at a rate heretofore unknown to mankind with the result of leaving us (oh please leave us...) in the gentle clutches of kindly Uncle ***. Then we would really see some moderation in the White House.

cough.

In 49 years I haven't seen such a twisted mess in the White House. W makes *** look like a minister, W makes Johnson look like a brilliant strategist, W makes Carter (actually, there's no comparing those two, or to Ronnie), W makes Clinton look like a Cub Scout, and worst of all W makes his father look like the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Bush is just afraid we will find out Cheney has been President the whole time.

Oh now I get it, the Iraqi Government met zero 0 benchmarks required to support the surge, and Karl told little George he has to leave Iraq so that the troops are home for the next election. This is little George being a big guy, bring it on Congress Executive Privilege, over compensating for many inadequacies as usual. The truth will come out and hopefully the indictments will be issued when Bush can sign off on pardons like he gave the traitor Libby. Hey any news on the deposition for the Wilson civil case? 54% of the American People want Cheney to answer to articles of Impeachment.

I can see it now. The Neocons lining up behind George's pardon of Bin Laden because HE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IRAQ.

black is white

lies are truth

rich is poor and needs government aid

poor are rich and need NO aid just hatred

good is bad

Bad is good

spy on the innocent

protect the guilty

WHEN DID THIS COUNTRY TURN INSIDE OUT??

"There comes a point where the White House has to say, 'Hey, look there are certain confidential things in the White House that we're not going to share with Congress, just like there are certain confidential things in Congress that we're not going to share with the White House,"' Hatch, R-Utah, said on CBS' Face the Nation.

Funny thing is George and Congress INSIST on THEIR confidentiality but the CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS of the AMERICAN PEOPLE are FAIR GAME.

"Let them eat cake" they say.
