" When the President does it, that means it is not illegal".This was the |

notorious statement used by Richard Nixon to justify the Watergate Break-in and the efforts to coverup his involvement in that act.In response, Archibald Cox said" This is a nation of laws and not of men". To think the Nixon Era has now become the good old days for us, is the saddest story of our lives.Bush and his entire entourage of crminals violate our Constitution on a daily basis, and not one Senator or Congressman has called for the impeachment of this criminal gang.We have become a nation which is a shadow of its former glorious self.From now on any statement about America's uniqueness or its being a beacon of hope for all mankind will ring hollow to me.

2. Remember "Give me your tired, your poor . . ."? |

At this point I'd trade Bush for Nixon in a heartbeat. The chimp and his band of thugs are that evil.

The Clinton Administration. A fairly successful president, impeached by Republicans on a thin legal technicality. Or a blowjob, really.
The Bush Administration. Scandal after scandal, from the stolen election, to the "energy crisis" scam in California, to the trumped up war, Abu Ghraib, broken treaties, and a thousand other criminal failures. Not even a call for resignations from the Republican Congress- let alone impeachment proceedings.
It really is amazing how this radical right-wing movement took off and just ran roughshod over the Constitution.
