Politics & Government - 3 September 2007

This article shows it perfectly.

Edwards wants government run health insurance. Now, he wants grown adults to be forced to go to the doctor. Whatever happened to free choice. Why do liberals think we are too stupid to take care of ourselves?

why you support job outsourcing

why you are against universal health care

why you claim to support soldiers, but deny them funding for necessary medical care

why you support giving tax breaks to the rich (and please don't give me the 'trickle down' cr*p; there are better ways to create jobs/lower loan interest rates)

why you claim to have "good Christian values" but support war in iraq and help the rich get richer

why you based a war of intuition ("iraq has WMD's")

why bush claimed to be concerned about global warming before the 2000 election, but after the election claimed the evidence wasn't conclusive, and all of a sudden had some sort of an epiphany and decided to do nothing about the problem

why you scream about protecting the second amendment, but have no problem with NSA wiretapping infringing on the first

why ivy league alumni are reputably liberal (please don't give me the "i have a third eye of truth" or "they are stupid" argument)

Here they are:

Abuse of power:

-- Violating Habeus Corpus; denying Due Process of Law to detainees.

Violating our Constitutional system of Checks & Balances and Separation of Powers by:

-- Frequent and excessive use of signing statements, detailing what he will and will not enforce. He is not a legislature. His job is to enforce ALL the law.

-- Keeping Congress, which has a Constitutional role in oversight, in the dark on many matters.

Obstruction of justice:

-- Ordering subordinates not to testify to Congress (ignoring subpoenas), withholding requested documents.

Breaking the law

-- FISA Act. Illegal wiretaps.
-- The law prohibiting outing of CIA personnel.
-- Violating our Treaty obligations under the Geneva Conventions with illegal detention, torture, and renditioning.

If you believe in the Rule of Law, the office of the Presidency MUST be restored to its Constitutional limits. Otherwise you set in stone what a President can do and get away with. I

Al Quiada is now in Iraq where it was not operating when Sadam was in command -

Iran looms over the world as a possible nuclear power -

Russia and China seem bent on preventing sanctions against Iran using security veto's to nulify US requests or water them down significantly

The US is still in Iraq -

The war and or ocupation of Iraq is costing a huge sum of money some say 400 million per day others say less than that - but nonetheless - a hell of a lot of cash

The real estate market in the US is facing a melt down and effecting all levels of the US economy

The US dollar is at an all time low

There are now a few billion dollars in "put" options gambleing that the stock market will crash on or before Sept 21st of this year

On the up swing - there hasn't been one attack in the US since 9/11 2001 - but 6 years after the fact -

Are you safer now than you were 6 years ago ?

President Felipe Calderon, today blasted our deportations and said "Mexico does not end at its borders." And speaking to Mexicans in the US many of them here illegally he told them "Where there is a Mexican, there is Mexico."

That sounds pretty imperialistic to me. What would happen if we sent millions of Americans to another country and said that the US extends into your country?

I think it is ironic on how after all the mistakes and the quagmire Iraq has become, president Bush finds himself in a win-win situation. If he keeps the troops in long enough, they will be able to stabilize the situation until he gets out of office. Whoever gets elected or even someone else later on will have to pull the troops out at some point, then Bush can claim. "When I left office, things were improving in Iraq, and now you pulled the troop and look at what happened". Of course ignoring the reality that as soon as the troops are pulled they will all just kill each other anyway no matter when the troops are pulled. And if he is forced by congress to pull the troops before he is out of office, he can say, "The surge was working, and you made me pull the troops out and now look at what is happening" when it all goes to **** anyway. Since as log as you keep the troops in you don't really fail. It is impossible to prove a negative. I guess the man is no as dumb as I thought he was.

and VP of the Union Banking Corp Of N. Y. City during the second world war. The bank was seized by the government for trading with the enemies, because they helped to finance Hitlers rise to power and also laundered millions of dollars in Nazi money. One other little banking question did you know the Rockefellers Standard Oil supplied the I G Farber company with a component necessary as a fuel additive to the German Warplanes which blitzed London. This component was also used in the gas chambers in the Nazi Death Camps. I am eager to hear from all of people who say the holocust never happened.

At the Federal level, the House of Representatives has the sole power of impeaching the President, Vice President and all other civil officers of the United States. Officials can be impeached for: "treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors." The United States Senate has the sole power to try all impeachments. The removal of impeached officials is automatic upon conviction in the Senate.

I stand corrected if you can prove me wrong, but impeachment is brought on by the HofR, right?

Next, the Senate has the sole power of impeachment, right?

Last, the Senate, upon conviction, removes the official from his/her capacity, right?

What would it say about Congress, who turned a blind eye and funded the war, if Bush was formally convicted and impeached?

Since (Democratic) Congress basically turned the other cheek when Bush decided to invade Iraq, is this the sole and overpowering reason why Bush can't be impeached?

Arguments? Thoughts?

I am seeing a lot of questions, tonight, regarding political parties and basically, meritless claims of this kind of behavior and that. Mostly it is the questions like "why do blahblah THINK or SAY this that, etc." then people respond with "well it's because THEY are this way or THAT" basically doing the same thing they are accusing the other party of, silly assumptions, claims about their motives, etc. Now, it would seem to me some people would know better than to sit and do what they accuse someone else of doing. But that isn't the case. Are these people actually paying attention to anything or just, spewing whatever they think will be the most damaging to someone else while making themselves look worse for it?

1,000,000 US troops in Iraq (300,000 in Afghanistan) would bring victory very quickly to those wars & would make it much easier to invade Iran to take out their nukes & bring them Democracy. What could be more important to any American than winning the war on terror, de-nuking Iran & turning most of the Mideast into a Democracy?

Or are Bush's half baked, half assed "Surges" that will never "finish the job" make you feel more comfortable?

What I mean is, if there are one or more people, or agents, behaving in a way or doing something wrong that causes harm to come to others (harm being very broad in scope) and

1) the agents are acting on the behalf of, or are representing a higher authority or party, yet
2) it cannot be proven that that authority or party truly exists or
3) it cannot be proven that the authority actually instructed the agents in how to act,

can a suit or indictment be carried out against either the agents, the unknown party, or both?
