Impeach USA you are correct! Jerry must agree because he calls you a moron, takes one to know one jer.
Impeach you get the dumb chits to type IMPEACH at the start of all their posts, brilliant!
Juan, Laura is not jerry. When jer gets overwhelmed or browbeaten THEY call in a SMART woman to post for him.  He is not smart enough to type 8 or 9 line on one post and the grammer is better, note.

John S., Minneapolis--No

It's not about what political party is the best to run the country. There have always been fueds between parties, the problem is finding a person that will take control in 08 and not run the US in the ground. Let's see...Hillary - what will the world think of America if we are ignorant enough to vote a woman into office?? Probably that we're ignorant...especially since our top adversary (the Middle East) DOES NOT respect women!!!! Obama - if we vote him in the world will only think it was because he's muslim so we hope he will make good friends with the Middle East and hopefully they will all of a sudden like us when they haven't since..FOREVER!!!! Bush in 40 years will be in the history books as a good president. He has had to face overwhelming odds and he's done the best he could. Maybe everyone isn't happy with his performance but maybe that is our problem for only focusing on the negative things instead of trying to find something positive to dwell on. Besides we have never had a perfect president and never will.

Our troops overseas feel they are fighting for a cause. How do I know that?? I'm married to one.  If you do not know anyone in the armed forces then STOP talking about how horrible it is that we are in this war. The troops see that these people do not have hope and they feel that by being there they are protecting their country and helping these people experience something they have never had the opportunity to feel. And if you don't like the war, which for the record NO ONE likes war but it is a necessity at times, don't blame the troops!! I am truly sorry for anyone that has lost a loved one overseas and I do pray for them daily. However, when you join the military they know that there is a possibility of losing their lives. It's a part of the deal. We as a nation need to focus on positive things we have going. Besides why doesn't the world especially Russia and the Middle East like us?? They think we are selfish, disrespectful, heathenistic and the list goes on. If you want to spend the day griping about our government, take a moment and try to understand our enemies and then you'll hopefully understand that it doesn't matter what we do, they will NEVER like us. NO matter what the media plays, there will be no PEACE. So we might as well defend ourselves.

Megan,thank you for your post...I agree with you 100%.

This blog is now as unruly as our President is misguided. Name calling will get no one anywhere. It may be fun, but it completely avoids the issue for this blog.

To attempt in getting us back to the point, the Bush White House has been the worst we've had since Hoover or good ol' Cal. Nixon was a crook who not only broke the law but covered it up until someone ratted on his sorry self.

Now, Bush II is polling as bad as Nixon just prior to his resignation. Who's to blame for that? Not us Dems. We told the rest of you he was no good. Now, with the country in a tizzy and the war in Iraq being his legacy (and it won't be a good one), we have unrest. The neocons just can't seem to realize what is going on. The White House has become a safe haven for the liars, the cheats, the insane and the executive who may still be dillusional at best. No one in the GOP wants to admit the light at the end of the tunnel is that of the train coming towards us.

The more delays in producing the "Sept" report on the "Surge" in Iraq (is it out to Dec-2007 now, or is it Dec-2008?), the more stonewalling with Congress and claiming Executive Privelege for issues that should be a no-brainer if there was truly no illegality, the more inaccurate statements of the seriousnees and direct connection to bin Laden with al Qaida in Iraq, the more people begin to wonder why we never went after bin Laden in Pakistan instead of invading Iraq, and the more people realize the wealthy are richer today than 7 years ago while the rest of us are scraping by with devalued home prices and poor raises every year even though our companies seem to be extremely profitable... the more ammo any Dem will have against any Repub in 2008. At this rate, the Repubs are probably ready to admit defeat since they have to claim they're Republicans and so many people are fed up to their eye balls with the Bush clan's hypocrisy, lies, false hopes and defense of (argaubly) the worst President in the last 100 years, if not in US history.

(BTW, I never mentioned the "oil summit" with Cheney and Kenny-boy, the ties to just about every one of the indicted and jailed CEOs in the last 6 years, the incredibly disrespectful comments and actions made with regards to the Katrina disaster and the lack of concern for the military vets with their health care benefits, and just about everything else that's gone wrong in the past 7 years on a national level, although that may be a tad too harsh.)

Megan: That is right on time. Now you will get attacked by every left-wing, know-it-all, im- smarter -than-you, Bush-is-dumb, idiot on here.

"Global warming is a joke; it's a political tool invented by Al Gore to get attention and to give the democrats a stance on something." ---This statement is as acurate as ---"God is a joke; it's a political tool invented by Bush to get attention and to give the Republicans a stance on something."

Meghan, I believe you are a good hearted soul, and I respect your point of view, but I disagree with your conclusions. It made sense, after we were attacked on 9/11, to invade Afghanistan and unseat the Taliban, the government who had given a safe haven to Bin Laden and al-Qaida. If we had made a paradise of Afghanistan it really would have bolstered moderate, democratic movements across the Middle East, but no. Bush decided to invade Iraq without understanding the ethnic divisions in that country. His administration froze out any dissenting voices, wouldn't listen to generals who told them they need more troops to accomplish regime change, and ignored the objections of our allies, etc. Now Iraq is in the middle of a civil war, according to recent intelligence reports al-Qaida has rebounded in its safe haven in Pakistan, and its very possible the American homeland will soon suffer a terrorist attack. It really doesn't matter if we elect a woman or a non-white male, what matters is if we elect a President who can withdraw our troops from Iraq in an orderly fashion, secure Afghanistan, and lend enough support to Pakistan to help them destroy al-Qaida there without inflaming muslim fundamentals all over the world.

killing innocence for oil is a necessity?

laura Im with you bush isnt to blame for anything .Everything he has done he has done in your name which ergo you are to blame stand and take responsability for your actions be proud of the way this country handle katrina be happy with the war you are losing be happy with a justyice dept that ignores laws be happy the great divider has you where he wants going over the cliff with the rest of the lemmings ask rick santorum used to work for me fired Im sure he happy with his lobbist job maybe he can helpm you out being happy HECK OFF A JOB BROWNIE RUMSFIELD POWELL SNOW GOODLING GONZO SCOOTER ARMITIGE WOLFOWITZ PEARL BE HAPPY AND FOLLoW

Discussion of Bush surely brings out the worst in people.  I'm just waiting for the next election.  There is nothing more that Bush can say that will move me.

Megan,
Why don't you take your sorry ass viewpoint and smoke some more weed.

WE SHOULD INVADE A COUNTRY AND CALL IT A NECESSARY WAR. WE INVADED!!!!!

Jenn Pittsburgh,PA - If the reason why we haven't been attacked on American soil since 9/11 is because Bush is "protecting" us, then he still has to "protect" us for another two years to be as good as Clinton.  Clinton "protected" us from the first wtc bombing in '93, all the way until Bush took over in 2001.  He's not quite yet up to par.

Dear God,

    Please never let there be a president like this again.  One where people have to say: "This president in 40 years will be in the history books as a good president. He has had to face overwhelming odds and he's done the best he could. Maybe everyone isn't happy with his performance but maybe that is our problem for only focusing on the negative things instead of trying to find something positive to dwell on. Besides we have never had a perfect president and never will".  I know that you know that America won't be able to survive another terrible president like this.  I love America and I am gratefull for it.

    Amen.

HOT DAM: Your about as stupid as your post. I knew you would start attacking. I called that one right.
Megan: Just brush these haters off your shoulders. I'm a vet of 24 yrs and constantly get attacked but I go right back at these idiots.

Lemming-I'm glad to see that you went to school and got a great education,which taught you how to write so well. I bet you got all A's in grammar and spelling!!

Ken:Comparing global warming to God? Sad. I'm guessing the only reason you're doing that is because you don't believe in God yourself and are an atheist.Am I right?

I must agree with Laura, jerry and jen,  I also don't believe there will be someone better than Bush coming up, in fact the world will get worse and we will really get attacked then.  I am all the way for Bush and If I had to do it again I would reelect Bush.  At least he has values.

I can't figure out with who I am more angry.  The Criminals in the White House, or the Dems who refuse to anything about it.  C'mon, with virtually the whole country Anti-Bush, the Congress is worried about the ramifications of impeachment?  Does this make any sense to anyone?

GET THEM OUT OF OFFICE!!! I cannot believe we have a President in office who does not think it his job to be a representative of the American people. Both he and Cheney need to get out. IMPEACH BUSH AND CHENEY!!

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA IT is so funny you idiots are so pathetic!
OH yes we are all bush haters, God haters, Valueless, unpatriotic but Christ we are so much smater than you shrub sheep! Ya in the muddle you are the brightest light on the xmas tree, shine on dude.
I am sure you will all pray for all our sorry asses, so wonderful to have good christian souls around . I feel the love the goodness and when the next attack comes you all duck!!   Laura and Megan come visit again we are used to the repuk plants.

amazing how laura is posting the same inane (insane works just as well) rhetoric jerry was posting just weeks ago. can you connect the dots?
"laura", where are your facts, you know, bits of information that supports arguments?  All you ar edoing is repeating reug talking points that seem to garner 30% of the electorate.  talking points, as in viewpoints, which is different than facts.  just reading the blogs here, no way in hell has bush the decider even remotely come close to his pledge of being a uniter.  Fact.

I doesn't make sense to use our military in perpetual wars and conflicts..when the nations of the world are perfectly capable of tearing down terrorist networks.

I'm sure there will always be people who agree with the war theory but most do not and that agreament among a majority will end the Iraq conflict. As an american you accept that your fellow citizens have made that judgement or leave. My sister serves in the Navy, my childhood friends serve in the army, we all know a family or two who has a child that serves. Nobody is eager for war. Everyone I know wants it to be over soon...even if the conclusion will not be 'ideal'. That is reality.

Bush made the mistake of equating his political views and ideals with that of the middle east. The Iraqis still refuse to form a political solution because the are not capable of doing it. They have lived under a dictator, their culture breeds conflict, it would take decades of direction from the US to even get them started. The American public is not willing to deal with a conflict that could last decades. That was the administration's mistake. Not withstanding the botched intelligence and globalist ideology that drove this war.

What I just described is nation building...not fighting terrorists. Al-Queda is in Iraq b/c we are there...they are in Afghanastan too. The best we can hope is Iraqi's are willing to kill the remaining terrorists after we leave. Most likely using their militias whom we are now beginning to support. Creating a power vaccum that leads to sectarian violence is the result of bad judgement..and this globalist administration has tried to 'correct' it ever since but it is beyond their control. That is why the are continually deploying more and more troops to Iraq after over 4 years of occupation. We are trying to provide our soldiers as police even as their own army continue to fail 4 yrs later. In 3 more years with nothing changed are you still willing to say the same thing?

And as far as soldiers..they are not congress, they are not elected officials. The decision is not theirs to make. They take orders, trained to do their job....and we as civilians are responsible for their well being. Bush's responsibility is placing them in an optimum situation to succeed b/c he made the decision for war. Bush fails in that regard by putting the military in an unattenable situation that has no foreseable solution...loosing lives, when the outcome will be withdrawl no matter what how long it is delayed. He is fails to protect US citizens of our armed forces. The Republicans should have never spoken the lines about winning for our soldiers or made political speeches in front of military audiences. It was wrong, and still is wrong. As they did so..they send another soldier off to war in an untenable conflict when the outcome is obvious.

You're right about one thing...responsible leadership leads to responsible decisions. Unfortunately we did not have that benifit....but hopefully we will.

Great post CJ...I hope we have time to save our troops, seems a long way off before we get some strong,intelligent leadership in the White House.
It is past time for our luck to change.

Wonderful post, CJ...reading it allowed me time to get my temper under control and kept me from responding in anger to the name-calling in some of the posts.

HAHAHA, The Rebublicans aren't distancing themselves from the President with a 66% disapproval rating simply because they're still "staying the course". They've fallen, and can't get up, and it's that simple. They wouldn't dare publicly give an honest definition of "losing face", it would be too self reflective. They are all really a dispicable lot.

In the middle: you can't combat "hate" by calling people idiots.  You just showed you are no better than the people you are denigrating.

Toni, yes bush has "values"...he values the rich, the powerful, he values insurance, energy, and utility companies, he values people, ONLY, and only if they agree lockstep with his FAILED policies.  Too darn bad he doesn't value the CONSTITUTION, terrible for all of us that he doesn't value the citizens of this country.  

Lisa: Is this better? Dumb azzholes!!!!

hmmm so I believe it's true, that you can't please all the people all of the time, but hell, I'll give "shrub" (is that what you're calling the village idiot?), PRETTY GOOD CREDIT FOR DISPLEASING A LOT MORE THAN 1/2 THE PEOPLE ALL THE TIME, burn baby, burn, OH WAIT , damn that global warming...ah what the hell, burn shrub,burn...

John S., Minneapolis, yes we can.... oh no we can't all just get along, i mean, i'm so sorry to break this to you or ANY of our loved ones, 35% will always never get along, I suppose we could pass legislation to pass out about 200 million more handguns around our nation, of course we need to write in for training for those weapons, so maybe we could get Dick behind the "Let's Arm Ourselves, Everyone" Legislation. I'm so sorry everyone for my sarcasm, but this administration is having a bad effect on all of us. SOOOO, Let's also create a "MENTAL HEALTH" policy for our future presidents, you know, make it easier to recall them than to impeach, oh hell, it's all too late for all of us, goodbye cruel America....goodbye, we can only dream of the real America we could have been...

WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH

---Dick Cheney

Laura - No, your not right.  Not about me, god, Al Gore, or global warming.  You see,  I beleive that if there is a god, religion (which is man made) has it all wrong.  Terribly wrong.  There is no way man could get it right.  But when we think we have it right,  everybody had better danm well see it the same way.  And they had damn well better pay money too!    It sure didn't take long for people with power to figure out that they can controll people with religion.  From there it is all down hill.  You get Christians killing Muslims and taking their land (crusades),  Christians torturing "heretics" (Spanish Inquisition), Muslims blowing up themselves and others,...I could go on.  I gotta tell you, christianity (I am assuming you "worship" the christian god) is no better, less brutal, or less irrational than Islam.  They are both "political tools" used to manipulate and control people.  But anyway, sure, I beleive in god.  Thanks for asking.  But I really don't see what that has to do with your bogus claim that Gore invented global warming.

I just remembered that there were a certain group of Republicans that stood by Nixxon until the last au revoir.  I can't remember any names, though...because they never worked in politics again.  (Wonder why?)  Anyway, I guess there are a certain number of suicidally loyal people in any Congress.

ANTHRAX!  What do you call the letters with anthrax in them?  Just a little joke on the recipients?  No terrorist attack since 9-11?  Guess what - no one has been found to have been responsible for the anthrax.  Does that make anyone feel really safe?

I think it should come down to Obama and Giuliani. I would be happy with either of them. I think Giuliani did a great job in NYC,and Obama would be much better than Billery or Edwards.

Inthemiddle, Thank you for your service. People like you make this blog possible.
I do want to clear up one thing, I do not care that Obama is African American. I do not feel he is the best person to be president but that has nothing to do with his skin color at all. I am conservative but I am not a racist. Also, I wasn't trying to sway anyone's oppinion with my post I was simply giving an oppinion as many others have on here.

I do think that is it important for Americans to  understand our adversaries. Doing some research and digging a little into history might shed some light on the conflicts of today. These conflicts have carried over from centuries before. And Ken your opinion of Christians killing Muslims, etc. well, that is how the world views America. Not as Christians per-say but as the conquering type. If you (everyone reading this not picking on Ken)  really understood how others saw us, then you might quite arguing so much amongst each other.

Also, Iraq is crucial. I want every one of our soldiers home asap but it is crucial how we leave it. Some say it doesn't matter because we've already screwed up too bad but we should still try out best to leave in a way that will not send them running for aid from Iran. That's the nation that REALLY hates us and happens to be friendly with Putin and is also actively ignoring the warning of the world and going further with the manufacturing of nuclear weapons. I do hope our next MR. President is not the type to go brown nosing the world. Bush did show strength. He also showed error but he did show the world that a terrorist attack would not be tolerated by the USA. It's is important that our next guy at least have that trait. The sissy type would not say much for us as American citizens. Dem or Rep, just don't be a sissy!! Now, I am done with this stuff!! All left wingers jump for joy now!!

And just for HOT DAM, I'm not into smoking weed hun! Just not my thing.
