ENOUGH!!! - Impeach NOW - Every Day This Criminal Admin Is In Power Is A Day Closer To Next Disaster
Bush's errors as president call for impeachment proceedings

Mike Ramsey


It seems like a lifetime ago that George W. Bush was installed as president by a 5-4 Supreme Court ruling, but only a little more than six short years have passed since that fateful decision.

..................

Nothing short of drastic measures will stop this power-mad lunatic from further eroding the very foundation of our republic. When a president habitually violates the law, the Constitution and his Oath of Office, only one responsible option is left: Impeachment.

...................

Time is of the essence: Every day this dangerously incompetent and criminal administration is allowed to be in power is a day closer to the next disaster. As has been demonstrated during the past six years, with these people in charge, anything can happen.

The impeachment discussion needs to begin now — not only so this administration can be stopped, but also to set an example for future administrations that such behavior will not be tolerated by freedom-loving people.

2. I agree, and will do all I can to help it happen.
The damage he can do over the next two years is scary. Just because he THINKS he has the authority to do anything he wants.

resign. He gave Rice the job to oversee intelligence and they completely fail on 9-11. Then failed to research the invasion of Iraq and went in anyway. George W. Bush should resign, the people have no trust in his ability to lead or his judgment in making decisions.

26. He won't resign. That would be like admitting he lost the game.
And little George has always had an aversion to that. He's not mature enough to take responsibility for his actions. He will need to be removed.

13.  GW Bush- High Crimes and Misdemeanors.
GW Bush- High Crimes and Misdemeanors.

1. "A Crime Against Peace." Initiating a war of aggression against a nation that posed no immediate threat to the U.S.--a war that has needlessly killed 2550 Americans and maimed and damaged over 20,000 more, while killing over 100,000 innocent Iraqi men, women and children, is the number one war crime according to the Nuremberg Charter, a document which was largely drawn up by American lawyers after World War II.

2. Lying and organizing a conspiracy to trick the American people and the U.S. Congress into approving an unnecessary and illegal war. This is defined as "A Conspiracy to Commit a Crime Against Peace" in the Nuremberg Charter, to which the U.S. is a signatory.

3. Approving and encouraging, in violation of U.S. and international law, the use of torture, kidnapping and rendering of prisoners of war captured in Iraq and Afghanistan and in the course of the so-called War on Terror. Note that the Hamdan decision actually declares Bush to have violated the Third Geneva Convention on Treatment of Prisoners of War, which means the justices are in effect calling the president a war criminal. Under U.S. and international law, if prisoners have died because of such a violation--and many have died in illegal US captivity because of torture authorized by this president--the penalty is death (a point made to the president in a warning memo written by his then White House counsel Alberto Gonzales, the text of which is published in full in the appendix of our book).

4. Illegally stripping the right of citizenship and the protections of the Constitution from American citizens, denying them the fundamental right to have their cases heard in a court, to hear the charges against them, to be judged in a public court by a jury of their peers, and to have access to a lawyer.

5. Authorizing the spying on American citizens and their communications by the National Security Agency and other U.S. police and intelligence agencies, in violation of the First and Fourth Amendments and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).

6. Obstructing investigation into and covering up knowledge of the deliberate exposing of the identity of a U.S. CIA undercover operative, and possibly conspiring in that initial outing itself.

7. Obstructing the investigation into the 9-11 attacks and lying to investigators from the Congress and the bi-partisan 9-11 Commission--actions that come perilously close to treason. (Former Florida Senator Bob Graham, who headed the Senate Intelligence Committee until his retirement at the end of 2002, has called this the president's most impeachable crime.)

8. Violating the due process and other constitutional rights of thousands of citizens and legal residents by rounding them up and disappearing or deporting them without hearings.

9. Abuse of power, undermining of the Constitution and violating the presidential oath of office by deliberately refusing to administer over 750 acts duly passed into law by the Congress--actions with if left unchallenged would make the Congress a vestigial body, and the president a dictator.

10. Criminal negligence in failing to provide American troops with adequate armor before sending them into a war of choice, criminal negligence in going to war against a weak, third-world nation without any planning for post war occupation and reconstruction, criminal negligence in failing to respond to a known and growing crisis in the storm-blasted city of New Orleans, and criminal negligence in failing to act, and in fact in actively obstructing efforts by other countries and American state governments, to deal with the looming crisis of global warming.

24. It is a long list of impeachable offenses. It is not being rectified, and more
damage can and will be done. Every elected official in Washington took an oath - not to do what they thought best for their party - but to uphold and defend the Constitution. That quaint document will not survive this junta if the Congress does not defend it.

From the OP:

The Bush presidency has been an uninterrupted parade of disaster. Just when you think he's sunk as low as possible, he sinks even lower. And just as you think he's finally learned his lesson, he goes and makes the same mistakes again....

Nothing short of drastic measures will stop this power-mad lunatic from further eroding the very foundation of our republic. When a president habitually violates the law, the Constitution and his Oath of Office, only one responsible option is left: Impeachment.

The impeachment discussion needs to begin now — not only so this administration can be stopped, but also to set an example for future administrations that such behavior will not be tolerated by freedom-loving people.

We can't even shame enough Repukes to get cloture on a non-binding resolution. What makes you think they'd turn against their "beloved leader"? :puke:

There are far better things to do than Impeachment proceedings doomed to fail.

28. They are destroying this nation.
They must be stopped by the peaceful and lawful means spelled out in the Constitution. Ending lawlessness, fraud and deceit at the highest levels of our government is now required of elected officials.

We must urge and support our Representatives in doing the difficult--and even dangerous--job that is now required of them at this point in history.
