I think it's funny that everyone's all peeved at Bush for Iraq, but everyone fails to mention how upset they were with Clinton and Kosovo. Or Bush I and Iraq, or Reagan and Iran, or Johnson and Vietnam, or Truman and Korea, or Wilson and WWI.

No, we pick on Bush for violating our Constitution, because he's Bush.

In no way to I support Bush or the War in Iraq. But come on, people, let's look at this with an objective lens.

There had been plans to invade Iraq since 1998, when Clinton was in office. This was not something new, Bush just actually made it happen.

« smarty1052 : all this trouble to impeach Bush, and President Clinton was impeached(taken to trial) for getting a BJ and lying about it.. ?? BS.. I say Bush should have been out of office, if not for one of the 35 crimes then just to save face for our country.
..Clinton committed perjury, a felony. The blowjob was not a legal issue.

Bush was given false information. You can't impeach someone to save face.

I think this is a ridiculous waste of time considering how much time he has left in office.

I would pick on anyone who violated the Constitution.

Bush has totally disregarded the Constitution and the rights of its people.

well I personally wasnt alive during WWI, or vietnam or Korea, and wasnt of voting age during Clinton and Kosovo- So I Tend to stick to the present and what I know of now- Times are very different from back then.

And He(clinton) commited perjury for in trial that he shouldnt even have been on.. doesnt make it right, but still what was he taken to court for if gettin a BJ isn;t illegal? And why in a government trial should anyone be asking the president about his sex life? and it takes 8 years for someone to finally question Bush about his actions

Clinton was taken to trial because he abused his power, but the perjury is what landed him in hot water.

I agree. Bush has violated and disregarded the Constitution to incredible lengths. It pisses me off.

But I can't just sit here and be all pissed at Bush if I don't criticize others for their same disregard for the Constitution.

Understood. ;)

And as Smarty said, I wasn't around when other presidents were in office, so this is one cause I can take on and be offended at.

From my moveon.org email today...


Please read the important statement released today by former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark, which is below.

As Ramsey Clark makes clear, the impeachment of George W. Bush is the most important task of the moment for the safety and security of the people of the United States, the Middle East and throughout the world. None of us can risk being plunged further into war.

Message from Ramsey Clark

Impeachment is not a political question. Impeachment is a constitutional duty. It is the one power and highest duty the Constitution rests in the Congress to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States when the President, Vice President, and other civil officers of the United States commit treason, bribery, or other High Crimes and Misdemeanors.

George Bush has deliberately, falsely and systematically mislead the Congress and the American people concerning the most criminal, costly and harmful acts of his administration, leading us to war, tragic loss of human life, the devastation of Iraq, military expenses reaching trillions of dollars, disruption of the economy that will take decades to overcome, a contemptuous assault on the Bill of Rights, an international humanitarian disaster, deliberate antagonism and provocation of nations and people, most once friendly, and an enlarging assault on the earth's environment.

On June 5, 2008, a long delayed five year U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence study and 170-page report unanimously found President Bush, Vice President Cheney and other top officers had made false charges and systematically presented a more dire picture about Iraq than justified by intelligence provided only to them. The Committee included both Democrats and Republicans.

Today President Bush is exerting all his power and influence to repeatedly urge Europe, Israel and others to support an attack on Iran which he intends to commence in the remaining months of the presidency. Iran is larger than Iraq and Afghanistan, has millions of people, richer by a multiple, unimpaired by recent war and will fight fiercely if attacked. He is negotiating a permanent U.S. military presence in Iraq placing the U.S. on Iran's border.

The next several Presidents of the United States will spend their time in office miserably fighting wars started by Bush, as our economy is consumed in military spending.

Impeachment, a Constitutional duty, is the only way to prevent George W. Bush and his cabal from vastly enlarging the disastrous wars he has already inflicted on the world and the American people. The House of Representatives must quickly consider Bills of Impeachment long overdue, and the Senate must prepare to sit in judgment of President Bush, Vice President Cheney other officers who are implicated.

The whole government needs to be impeached.
We could replace the entirety of the legislative and executive branch with blow-up dolls and get better results...
