I would like a President Cheney!
All people that commit war crimes should be charged. Torching villages, shooting civilians etc. Oops-I forgot those crimes are OK because they were commited by a Democratic senator!

Nothing is going to come out of this. At this point, GW Bush could molest and murder Arab children on live TV. The mass media noise machine would praise the president 24/7. Atty General Gonzales would give the Pres a hearty backslap. And the majority of congress would vote to award Bush a medal of honor while his supreme court buddies applaud. What a handful of minority congressmen think isn't worth a warm kettle of spit.

What we really need is to fan the flame of polarization so that when civic order breaks down we will have two very well defined groups ready to have at each other. Yep, this is what we need......

MD, you make a damn good point!
I appologize for my flip remarks & if i have offended people. But i have to say i DO like dubya (even though i don't agree with everything he's done and i DO think he's made some mistakes).

I think the vast majority of accusations against him are baseless and without foundation. But that doesn't mean i should be sticking my tongue out at others.

Kerry the skull n bonesman, a sworn brother of Bush and the Illuminati, is only taking this memo and running with it so he can control the situation.

Kerry is by no means an activist in Congress, he rarely gets involved in any issue. The Bush campaign was correct about Kerry being absent all of the time.
Kerry bent over and bowed out in the'04 election because he was playing the game. Kerry supports this war and the patriot act. Remember his true colors. If Conyers was pushing this, it would be a different dynamic. That's why Kerry has jumped in to save the day.
Now why didn't I take the blue pill.

You know I really liked John Wayne Gacy too. These politically correct oddballs got bent out of shape because he murdered a few children. But he was very kind in other ways, loved his parents, volunteer coached little league, played a wonderful clown at THOSE VERY SAME CHILDREN'S birthday parties. He was also an active member of the chamber of commerce. But what does everyone remember about the guy??That he murdered a few, while he did SO much for so many other children.

Where is the sense of proportion here?
All it takes is a group of litigious weirdos with a phobia about murder to screw it up for everyone. Can't we all just get along?

The allegation at stake here is whether the present administration lied to get us into a war. To my mind that's as serious as it gets: 1600+ dead and 20,000+ wounded American troops, and probably over 100,000 dead Iraqi noncombatants, the demoralization of the world's greatest fighting force (look at the recruitment numbers), the loss of stature in the eyes of most of the world, the total squandering of America's moral capital after 9-11...

My Mom saw the attack on the Twin Towers, my sister in law saw the attack on the Pentagon, and a close friend of mine is about to go into his second tour in Iraq. I take the overall war personally, I take it seriously, I believe Bush was right on target with his doctrine of "harboring terrorists," and I believe we have the legitimate right to defend ourselves by fighting the barbarians wherever they may be hiding.

I believed what I heard about Saddam holding WMDs, and I agreed that was a valid rationale for going to war: after all, one case of smallpox...

I believed, I supported, I argued the issues with friends, and now it comes out that there is a reasonable chance it was all for a God-damned pack of stinking lies. And you can believe it takes a lot to make me use the "G--D---" cuss.
So yes, investigate thoroughly, rigorously, and vigorously. We need the truth, because if the truth is that we've been poisoned by lies, we need to take our medicine and puke up the poison before it kills us.

The very fact that we're talking about Jeb vs. Hillary shows how far our system has fallen.

For being so well informed on Peak Oil issues, some of you guys are seriously delusional. Clinton gets impeached for lying about sex, Bush gets re-elected for lying about Iraq? "When Clinton lied, nobody died" you morons.
Sure Kerry's a puppet and just going along with the powers-that-be. At least he's got the balls to fight against your stupid god-damned propoganda.

Go after the truth, absolutely go after the truth.
It appears to me though, that there is less digging for truth and more pursuit of any reason at all to remove President Bush from office.
If he has committed impeachable offenses, and impeachment proceedings find charges with merit, then by all means boot him out.
Running about shouting "hallefugginglooya" does nothing to support your cause, in fact it has the opposite effect.

Hey, K_Sem, let's just go back to the days when there were no labor laws so that the guys who own all the capital can pay us $1/hr, no benefits, and work us as many hours a day as they want.
The answer to society's problems is not a single 'ism. The answer is a combination of -ism's, and no one wants to destroy capitalism.
We current have a capistalistic republic--based on the tenets of democracy--with a slew of social programs and laws to avoid the pitfalls of pure capitalism.
Moderation is the key going forward. The capitalists have the concentration of wealth and power right now. For a democracy to work, the people as a whole have to have some of the power.
Take a look at our elected representatives in the House and Senate, plus the current administration. It's a millionaires' club.

I've always wondered about this and debated it with my more "conservative" friends. It seems that distribution of wealth is necessary for a healthy society. If a few people control most of the money it breeds all kinds of problems. 1$/hour sounds better than a lot of people make in the world - try 25 cents/hour.

Sadly, this is all too true, but I wonder whether it has ever been otherwise (at least in the Senate). I don't personally know the answer, but my cursory reading of history tends to make me think that for all, OK most, of US history the wealthy and connected have had their hands on the tiller of state.

Our model of capitalism worked quite well for forty years or so. The reasons aren't because we did such a wonderful job of balancing raw capitalism and socialism(although we did do fairly well).
The real reason is simply that we came through WWII unscathed and at the beginning of a cheap energy boom.

Now we are experiencing the death of the "American Dream" which for a while provided opportunity for any laboror to support a family, own a home, and send his children to college.
Today we are back to the more traditional norm. Two laborers or more per household, inability to accummulate real wealth, inability to access hearth care, inability to provide a better future for offspring.
The great accident: Middle Class America

I love how the self-declared "conservatives" slither along with the blood-splattered, oil covered scum that are riding this country and it's founding principals into the freaking ground. Between dead soldiers, dead Iraqis and dead moral values our leaders really seem to be promoting a "Culture of Life". Perhaps we should *not* impeach and instead post their heads on stakes at the D.C. city limits as a warning to others who would try to destroy our ethics, morals and humanity in the rush to greed.

Ditto to you... traitors.
Do you remember why you logged onto this site in the first place?
It's actually relieving to know that a return to Jeffersonian Agricultural Democracy will take place no matter what Bushus Caesar and his lackies do to F things up in the next few years. Depletion ultimately guarantees their capitalist ponzi scheme failure. Have fun dancing to the band as the ship of state sinks.
