I mean this as a serious question, I don't say impeachment lightly. I believe, as many other Americans do as well, that Bush and Cheney are guilty of criminal acts. As this is not meant to be a rant, I only name a few. The illegal rounding up of thousands of law abiding Americans after September 11th. Illegal wire taps placed on Americans in violation of the fourth amendment. Violation of Jose Padilla's sixth amendment rights. So called 'illegal combatants' held in violation of the Geneva Conventions. There are many more. I have, again, not lightly, come to the conclusion that their crimes require full testimony to the American people. My question is this: Is it possible to build a respected movement, one that is main stream (think TODAY show) and made up of Americans on both side of the political spectrum, whose goal is to get both the House and Senate to impeach Bush and Cheney for these and other crimes? Why or why not? Please, no rants. This is meant as a serious question. Thanks.

Just curious because it seems recruitment is done mainly in poorer areas.

Maybe i'm wrong. Does the military also recruit in the suburbs and richer areas.

And how many of the wealthy or well to do are actually in the military if you had to guess. I mean, actually fighting currently or currently enlisted.

It's hard to say exactly when the Democrats decisively left the reservation, for the parallel universe that exists only in their own imaginations.

Liberals have always loved conspiracy theories because raising the specter of foul play and dirty tricks is an easy and convenient justification for ignoring their own political and policy failures. i. e Bush wins in 2004 - No DIEBOLD stole the election .

During the 1980 election, Democrats claimed that Ronald Reagan made a secret pact with Iranian fundamentalists, in order to prolong the hostage crisis and cause Jimmy Carter's support to further hemorrhage.

Then there are the persistent conspiracy theories that the CIA or Pentagon generals were responsible for President John Kennedy's assassination.

Hillary has gone public with her claim that a "vast right-wing conspiracy" is at work in America.

By 2000, they had Florida to prattle about, and then September 11.

Is it against the law for a company you work for to read your personal emails sent through the company's network? I mean they wouldn't be able to open a personal letter sent to there mailbox so are they able to read my emails?

Some liberal do-gooders say that the restriction to two terms of office for a US president is required to assure the stability our our great republic.

Have they ever read such interesting documents as the 9/11 Report? While some allgiations of the comession are undoubtedly unfounded, there is no doubt in my mind that had the Democratic nitwits passed information to the Bush administration properly, we might have been better prepared to deal with or even avert the tragedy of 9/11.

Despite our best efforts, the threat of terrorism is as real today as it was in 2001; even more so as the Al-Quaida are naught but wounded, cornered rats.

Would not continuous leadership for at least another term of office be more effective in dealing with this threat? It is time to reconsider outdated laws and constitutional amendments!

You're definitely some of the most loyal political supporters I've ever seen in my life. I'm just curious. What would it take for you to STOP supporting him?

PS Serious answers only please. We've all heard enough Bush jokes and Liberal jokes to last us the rest of our stupid lives.

my divorce was final 1 yr ago - my attorney had originally told me $1000 for the divorce but in the end charged me $2250 which is still cheap i guess. my ex was ordered to sell the house, pay it off and pay off another mortgage we had on a diff property, and pay me my half of the settlement - the prob is he paid off the house and paid me but did not pay off the other property, has not made a payment on the property since Jan. 07 and it is now ready for forclosure this is really hurting my credit. when i contacted my attorney he said he wanted another $500 to pursue this - wasnt it his job to make sure this was all taken care of in the first place? I was also court ordered to pick up furniture and some personal belongings but when i went to get them ex gave me a rough time and wouldnt let me in the house i asked the attorney to pursue this also and he said he didnt want to b bothered with petty stuff!! what are my rights and can i pursue this on my own and how? I live in PA

Like a lot of folks in this state(IL) I have a job. I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In order to get that paycheck,I am required to pass a random urine test, with which I have no problem. What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don't have to pass a urine test.
Shouldn't one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check because I have to pass one to earn it for them??
Please understand, I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet. I do on the other hand have a problem with helping someone sitting on their butt.
Could you imagine how much money the state would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check????? It cost approx $15 for a monthly drug test verses approx $1000 per month per welfare recipient. Coke and Crack may leave the urine system quickly but it remains in the hair up to a year. Another test that cost less to perform!

That americans can use a gun for ANY purpose than to organize and fight in a militia? Where does it say that you can protect your property from criminals? IF you believe the SCOTUS should strictly construct what the framers of the constitution meant, would you have to turn in your guns? I asked a question about arming yourself against the government, and nobody could come up with a single precedence, yet hundreds of thousands of guns are owned.

I have been charged with 2 felonies , filing a false police report and intimidation. The judge in pretrial said he saw no evidence of these charges and asked the prosecution to itemize them. When I came back to court they did not itemize so the judge dismissed . They immediately appealled and as far as itemizing alls they did is put down 2 dates. My lawyer instantly put in a motion to dismiss for lack of probable cause . It went in front of the original judge which dismissed it and we thought for sure he would dismiss , but he gave them 2 more weeks to clearly itemize the charges. I heard the judge say he doubted they would be able to do so , and told my lawyer he will dismiss it if they dont . My thoughts are they will probably try to skew the wording in the police report and itemize that to try to force it into court if the judge does not call them on it . This has been going on for 6 months if they had probable cause wouldnt they have itemized them by now ? Any thoughts ?

I think Primaries should be banned, that way it would weaken political parties strangle hold on politics. If votes are split between several candidates from the same party it could make way for some independents
