The very first poll taken on impeaching Bush last year was within a few points of support for impeaching Nixon the day before he resigned, and double the peak support for impeaching Clinton.

I had to scrounge around in some paid databases to find the polls on Nixon since I couldn't find it floating around the internet.

To see this with graphics and the original 1973 & 1974 LA Times articles, go to:

If that is the case, why isn't Congress starting proceedings so they can at least get his violations of laws, treaties, our Constitution, and basic human decency on the record and get themselves on the record opposing it?

British Court Rules Al Gore Film Exaggerated Climate Claims
Thursday, October 11, 2007

Lewis Smith

Al Gore’s award-winning climate change documentary was littered with nine inconvenient untruths, a judge ruled yesterday.

An Inconvenient Truth won plaudits from the environmental lobby and an Oscar from the film industry but was found wanting when it was scrutinised in the High Court in London.

Justice Burton identified nine significant errors within the former presidential candidate’s documentary as he assessed whether it should be shown to school children. He agreed that Gore’s film was “broadly accurate” in its presentation of the causes and likely effects of climate change but said that some of the claims were wrong and had arisen in “the context of alarmism and exaggeration.”

What is anti semitic about this question?

"For instance, why are there so many Jewish politicians, American officials (and some of them even dual Israeli citizens and still yet many of them Zionists) when Jews only make up 2% of the American population (6% less than Japanese)."

or

"Why were over 100 Israeli spies quietly deported after lying to authorities about what they were doing in the US on 9/11"

I heard a quote the other day from this idiot Ron Paul.
Something to the effect that the USA has never been attacked in over 225 years.
Is he really that far out of touch? Does he not remember the first attack on the twin towers, 9/11, Pear Harbor. These were inside the US. Also numerous bombing of embassies, the attack on the USS Cole.

Is this guy really this big of a joke.

And President Jackson remains a present day hero of the Democratic Party-but the massacre of the Armenians was by the World War One defunct Ottoman empire which is a totally different goverment than the present government of Turkey.

Acts 4:32-35 (King James Version)
King James Version (KJV)

32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.

33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.

34 Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,

35 And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.

Obviously a leader has to be intelligent, but sometimes some leaders are too 'intelligent' for their own good and it turns into cunning exploitation. Being shrewd is one thing, and being manipulative is another. That's when integrity comes into play. However if the leader is cunning in the sense that he somehow exploits others for the benefit of his own group, is this still wrong? Should a leader's integrity only apply to the people he leads?

(A leader can be a politician or a religious leader. Just leaders in general)

What damage can it do to Turkey to admit that 2 million tortured and killed Armenians was genocide?
As a Mulim I do not see why Turkey is making such a false propaganda to deny International reports that massacres took place ? This is against Islam to lie.


Turkey then occupied Armenian lands: Vank & Samsung Province, Nagorno Karabagh, Nakhijavan, parts of Azarbaijan etc ..
Same is being copied in North Cyprus, Darfur , Kurdish lands and Palestine as Hitler did during the holocaust .. and Turkey is the model for forced occupation

Alberto Gonzales hires defense attorney, SIDE SHOW BOB!!!?
By LARA JAKES JORDAN, Associated Press Writer
2 hours, 22 minutes ago
WASHINGTON - Former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has hired a high-powered Washington lawyer to represent him in investigations of mismanagement of the Justice Department. George Terwilliger(Simpsons), a white-collar crime defense attorney and the second-ranking Justice official in the early 1990s, was on the White House's short list last month to replace Gonzales.

actually, what started out as a cut and paste, has me wondering if this wasn't the plot for the series?

I mentioned the loss of my brother in Iraq. He is not just another number. He is one of the 3600 soldeirs that Bush has taken from us.

Please I beg you all to stop and think. Before you or someone you know loses a loved one. You don't think it is a big deal. You don't realize how painful it is. It doesn;t matter untill it happens to you.

But you keep supporting thiswar and the this lie. Please support the troops while they are alive and keep them alive.

No one should go thorugh what our family haas gone through. To lose my brother has been so painful. I can' stop the pain in my heart. When I go to sleep at night I cry sometimes from so much pain.

I am so sorry I voted for Bush. Please don't let others die. Keep your loved ones safe and bring them home. Political allegiance is not worth one of these people to die for.

I miss my brother and it hurts so much.
