Name just ONE thing bush has done that is Illegal. |
|
Anything. And then tell me WHY he should not be impeached and in jail.
Grow pot? Off to jail. Shoplift to feed your family. Off to Jail. Fail to pay a traffic fine, off to jail. Hell, when I was a deputy we had a guy arrested for not paying a fine for fishing without a license.
There are no politics or debate, break the law and they come for you. Period.
And yet the debate rages on - should we impeach or not? Yes, we should investigate - but why do some shy away even from promoting that loudly?
Either bush is a criminal or he is not. And if we think he is, then he should get no special treatment just because we fear the political backlash it may bring.
No one fears the backlash of rounding up sick people using pot to help them out (a natural plant).
If I were to get arrested for smoking dope (which I don't btw) and went to Pelosi and the dem leadership and whined about it, what do you think they would say? You are Joe Blow, you broke the law, and you rolled up and smoked a plant.
And yet bush sits there in power while thousands die in Iraq, more die at home, and he lies outright to the congress and the American people.
Justice was supposed to be blind, but I fear it has lifted it's veil to peek at who is under the gun - and it shy's away from those in power for the 'good' of us all. Protect those in the upper ranks, and look blind at those outside DC.
List his criminal actions here. And let's kick off the new year with investigations, and show the American people that justice is blind - that all are accountable. No matter how rich or powerful they are.

1. They keep changing the laws so that their criminal actions aren't |
|
illegal. Hitler did the same. I mean there are more torture obcenities surfacing, horrid stuff, but they changed the laws making these things legal. It doesn't make them any less criminal though.

2. You have to understand, to self proclaimed "Moderates" there is no right or wrong in politics. |
|
Only what's politically expedient, and what's not. So to them, nothing Bush does is impeachable, because Impeachment, though a Constitutional provision, is something that should NEVER be used.

3. Murder 650,000 brown people, and the American Taliban think you've been appointed by God. |
|
And you might get an aircraft carrier named after you.

4. It would be difficult to name "just ONE" thing. |

It's like Lay's potato chips. You can't eat "just ONE." :-)

"A patriot must be ready to defend his country against his government." - Edward Abbey
"The Americans will always do the right thing, after they've exhausted all the alternatives." - Sir Winston Churchill
"Bush has been studiously anti-science, a man of applied ignorance who has undernourished his mind with the empty calories of comfy dogma." -- Columnist Richard Cohen
"As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron." - H. L. Mencken
"We want freedom by any means necessary. We want justice by any means necessary. We want equality by any means necessary." - Malcolm X

5. Bush diverted money appopriated by Congress for Afghanistan... |

Bob Woodward revealed this.
If Bush is impeached, this is what I'd like for him to be impeached for.
