I still can't help but wonder if when their time to leave comes, will they? Or will Bush and Cheney try to stay in office, you know, for our own good?

I have my doubts.

"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State."
- Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Propaganda Minister

[Another report, on global health challenges, was never released after the administration demanded changes that he refused to make, Carmona said.]

this is the tip of the iceberg ... these people are contemptuous of a transparent democratic process ... and it's hard to believe you can't easily get rid of the @$$h01e$ that think this way.

I am SICK AND TIRED of Bush's Faith Based policies. This country was founded on separation of Church and State and this jerk has forced his religion on us at every turn!!

You cannot even go to a national park without his views on religion being forced on you. And you know the really funny part?? He claims to be a religious man, yet he has no problem braking every law that does not suit him, lies whenever he needs to and has the integrity of a thief.

If he is an example of a religious man, it is NO WONDER AT ALL I am athesit!!

"emergency contraception and abstinence-only education."
Maybe they are worried about the name likeness.
With names like D. I. C. K. and Bush,
The American people are getting ____.

"Wasn't allowed to make a speech, benefiting a political opponent. Asked to speak at events designed to benefit Republican lawmakers."
"He failed to use his position to the fullest extent in advocating for policies he thought were in the best interests of the nation,"
For who? Just Republicans?

Mr President, we want our health issues based on facts, not political appointees with partisan agendas.

Let's hope Nancy and the other elected officials get a clue and Impeach these clowns.

I HOPE EVERY AMERICAN AND ALL OUR ELECTED ARE GOING TO READ THIS, AND SEE THAT THIS ADMINASTRATION JUST KEEPS LAUGHING IN OUR FACES.WHILE THOUSANDS OF OUR TROOPS STILL DIE.
Last December, when Bush rebuffed a bipartisan exit strategy presented by the Iraq Study Group, he said he would leave the decision to withdraw from Iraq to his successor.

That question is "not going to face this government," Bush said, chuckling slightly at a news conference with former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, "because we made up our mind. We've made that part clear. It'll face future governments. There will be future opportunities for people to say, 'Well, it's not worth it. Let's just retreat.' "

Since then, nearly 700 more American soldiers have died in a war that has now lasted more than four years, lost the lives of more than 3,600 U.S. troops, cost $10 billion a month -- and cost Republicans control of the House and Senate.

every american should be calling washington on a min by min of every day until they cant handle the calls and the phones are shut down. they work for us. we the people..we are the share holders of america and as share holders we fire you all in this adminastration

I'm in complete agreement with luvNY. I think they should impeach G.W and he should be behind bars! (Or at least relieved of duty as the Commander in Chief-in an embarrassing manner!) There's still over a year left in his term.I think Bill Clinton was a pretty good president, however, I don't approve of his lax attitude regarding marriage. Congress,with the cheer of the majority of Americans, had no problem filing and executing impeachment proceedings against him. An important fact to remember is having *** outside of one's marriage is immoral, but it's not illegal. Secretly wire tapping on-line activity,CIA/FBI leaks originating from the Oval Office,and lying to the American public about a senseless war IS not only wrong-IT IS ILLEGAL!

in another story China has executed and incompetent lawbreaking official of its government ..... sometimes I wonder if we need to implement this to " scare straight " some of our administration officials .
Since I really don't believe in the death penalty may be IMPEACHMENT is the appropriate remedy for this corrupt administration. so let's start with Gonzo boy here.
and while I'm on the topic what's with the stupid nicknames? since Bush gives all these nicknames out to people is it a sign of disrespect, lack of power, intellectual laziness by the decider, or true affection (as he claims)? Posted by Rochest at 10:27 AM : Jul 10, 2007

Freedom of speech should not be stifled just because you are in a political position. Anyone who does this for political gain should be ashamed. Unfortunately, we can no longer believe what our government is telling us. Are there any politicians we can judge as honest if the try control the positions and judgement of those they hire?

It's all about "trickle down." A safe environment and good health cut into the profit margin. Good Americans are willing to suffer now so we can be trickled on later.

So I guess Nixon is happy he moved up a notch. The sad reality is this is within my life time. American say awake for the rest of my life I don't want this type of government again.

It's all politics folks. It doesn't matter if it is 1977, 1987, or 2007. Some things never change. Democrats today and Republicans tomorrow. One thing both parties can count on is that people have short memories and even shorter attention spans.
