But, the national Democratic leadership apparently wants that power for themselfves and grassroots Republicans are too f&$#ing stupid to understand that. If a Democrat had committed the same litany of abuses against the Constitution that Cheney and Bush have, they'd be screaming for impeachment. But, they're too blinded by their irrational partisan loyalties to stand up for the Constitution. It's disgusting.

More and more prominent and level headed people are calling for impeachment hearings on both Bush and Cheney. The voices have been growing louder and louder every day yet CNN and the other main stream media organizations have continued to try and bury this story. Everyone seems to have their excuses for why there shouldn't be impeachment hearings or how it is futile to even attempt it. However, what it comes down to is protecting our Constitution and the rule of law in our country. The President and Vice-President have broken the law. And they continue to do so every day. It is the sworn responsibility of Congress to hold them accountable and show the citizens (and the world) that the United States is still a republic that is ruled by law and not a monarcy (or a dictatorship) that is ruled by G W Bush.

There is no way either election should have been so close as to allow a few votes to even matter. Al Gore lost because he was too close to Bill Clinton, and he didn't know how to behave in public (something he has worked on and I believe learned from) Kerry lost because from a field of better candidates, the Democratic leadership allowed him to buy his way into the nomination. Both elections were a case of who do I dislike least and compared to Gore and Kerry, the voters were split down the middle allowing the "creative" votes to matter.

He's right of course.

Man this guy can really draw a crowd on the internet!!!

I'll be so happy when Bush and Cheney are just factoids in the history books.

And defacto examples of how NOT to lead a nation!!!

" Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We must fight for and protect our freedoms or we will be telling our children and grandchildren what it was like to truly be a free United States citizen."

Americans today are facing the greatest challenge that our forefathers dreaded 230 years ago. It is time to face the challenge again and voice our opinions before its too late.

The trial started on January 7, 1999. The trial ended on February 12, 1999. Take heart! We may still have time to salvage what is left of "Our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor" But we'd better get busy.
