I Smell Impeachment!
Downing Street Minutes (Memos), Voter Fraud, Iraq, Deficits, 9-11, Madrid Bombings, Lack of involvement, Lack of Funding Initiative, Canceling much needed social programs, intentionally under funding programs, Darfur, London Bombings, corruption, Conflicts of Interest, Publicly Lying, etc. .... with no positive results, just spin.

Final Verdict: UNFIT for Duty, Endangerment to others

1. But there is no blow job
Right wingers only get excited about blow jobs. So Bush has killed over a thousand of our troops and a hundred thousand innocent Iraqis. So he has allowed our borders to be opened to foreigners, so our earning wage has gone down. I mean, this pales to a blow job. The GOP has their priorities, after all.

2. So do I
Edited on Sun Jul-10-05 02:22 AM by Patchuli
because even the dumbasses who voted for the moron are sorry they did. He's done nothing to increase the 'love' for quite a while now and trying to use the London bombings as a comparison to 9/11 to bolster his ratings. His attempt to try to play the fear card yet again tells me once again, HE'S FULL OF SHIT. Downing Street is gaining momentum and so is RoveGate. We'll just see how it plays out...!:popcorn:

Climategate:

New Leaked Memos as US Moves to Spoil Climate Accord

New US Move to Spoil Climate Accord

By Mark Townsend
The Observer UK

Sunday 19 June 2005

Extraordinary efforts by the White House to scupper Britain's attempts to tackle global warming have been revealed in leaked US government documents obtained by The Observer.

These papers - part of the Bush administration's submission to the G8 action plan for Gleneagles next month - show how the United States, over the past two months, has been secretly undermining Tony Blair's proposals to tackle climate change.

The documents obtained by The Observer represent an attempt by the Bush administration to undermine completely the science of climate change and show that the US position has hardened during the G8 negotiations. They also reveal that the White House has withdrawn from a crucial United Nations commitment to stabilise greenhouse gas emissions.

The documents show that Washington officials:

-Removed all reference to the fact that climate change is a 'serious threat to human health and to ecosystems';
-Deleted any suggestion that global warming has already started;
-Expunged any suggestion that human activity was to blame for climate change.

15. actually I've tried a number of times

Sad, because this is also quite criminal IMO.

6. Ain't gonna happen
There is no way that the Republicans are going to vote to impeach this president. They learned one thing from Watergate and that is to support a Republican president no matter what he has done.

8. Wishing it to happen won't make it happen.
This crew isn't going anywhere unless there is a paradigm shift in the make-up of Congress in '06.

18. sorry, no amount of nay-saying should keep people from screaming
it from the rooftops.
For instance, If you see a murder, will you keep silent because the police force is corrupt? I say scream "murder!!" anyway, until it echoes down every street. It is about "We the People" and why shouldn't we demand justice?

9. Oh, you are one of the "Bush is toast" crowd...
I suppose you also are one of the people who predicted that Kerry would win 400 electoral votes and that he would win Mississippi, Utah and Idaho.

I live in the real world.

10. Here's he great thing: It will be over before CM has the guts to cover it
They'll be sitting on their fat asses debating on whether or not it's a real story or just a secondary story. They'll avoid putting it in the papers because they might get spanked by Prosecutor Fitzgerals for publishing the news. They'll send their pseudo-intellectual robots on a talk show here or there to make excuses as to why they're not covering it. And they'll never ask about it at a press conference, even when we kick Cheney out too and replace him with a Democrat who will then become president.

It will all happen elsewhere...and then CM (corporate media) will wake up and they will be no more.

13. As long as there is wiggle room...............
these people will be able to wiggle out of the tightest spots. And the right wingnuts will help them wiggle and squirm like worms in hot ashes. They always manage to get by with everything. What will it take to wake people up? Fox News going out of business would be nice...........

Looking at the misperceptions one at a time, people were asked, for example, if the U.S. had discovered the alleged stockpiles of WMD in Iraq since the war began. Just 11% of those who relied on newspapers as their "primary news source" incorrectly believed that U.S. forces had made such a discovery. Only slightly more — 17% — of those who relied on NPR and PBS were wrong. Yet 33% of Fox News viewers were wrong, far ahead of those who relied on any other outlet.

Likewise, when people were asked if the U.S. had "clear evidence" that Saddam Hussein was "working closely with al Queda," similar results were found. Only 16% of NPR and PBS listeners/viewers believed that the U.S. has such evidence, while 67% of Fox News viewers were under that mistaken impression.

Overall, 80 percent of those who relied on Fox News as their primary news source believed at least one of the three misperceptions. Viewers/listeners/readers of other news outlets didn't even come close to this total.

In other words, Fox News viewers are literally less informed about these basic facts. They have, put simply, been led to believe things that are simply not true. These poor dupes would have done better in this survey, statistically speaking, if they received no news at all and simply guessed whether the claims were accurate.

The moral of the story is watching a self-described fake news show on Comedy Central keeps you better informed, while watching a self-described "real" news network keeps you uninformed. Scary, isn't it?

14. I keep remembering Iran Contra...
They can and do get away with the outrageous. I'm not counting on impeachment until it happens.
