Wow, that drive-by media sure is earning its millions, huh?  8 out of 10 Americans feel the country is headed in the wrong direction.  Those 8 must be so utterly and completely brainwashed by the leftists in the media that hate this country and suffer from...what is it called...BDS?

After "president" Bush has poured the last eight years of his life into making this country the most respected and honorable country in the world by hunting down terrorists and torturing their sorry asses to get information that may or may not have prevented another 9.11 and widespread vampirism, this is the thanks he gets?  Wow, unbelievable how ungrateful Americans are these days.

How dare they, I ask, HOW?

Eight in 10 Americans say country is headed in the ?wrong direction.

A new AP-Ipsos poll finds that nearly eight in 10 Americans believe ?the country is moving in the wrong direction?amid soaring food and gas prices, falling home values and unending war. Just 17 percent say the country is going in the right direction.? This figure is the lowest since the survey began in 2003, and when compared with other past surveys, ?the general level of pessimism is the worst in almost 30 years.?

Hey, I got it!  They're just so utterly convinced that that terrorist-loving, Muslim, black guy is going to be elected by a bunch of activist voters who hate America and want the terrorists to WIN and that's why they think the country is heading in the wrong direction.  Thaaaaat's it.  Whew, our faith in this god-fearing nation is restored.

So you're NOT all bad, after all.  I am SO relieved.  Hanging out in this forum gave me the impression that guys like Rich, sirs, BT, plane, CU4 et al. somehow represented the vast majority of Americans today and that Lanya, Brass, XO & hnumpah were but a very tiny minority.  Whew.  God Bless America.  Maybe Obama will bring a little sanity to the body politic and restore America's good name in the world.  Well, at least we can hope.  Maybe this time the margin of victory will be so wide that no amount of Republican cheating can alter the final result.  And if Obama DOES win, and if he DOES mean to change the country, don't get taken in by the "all coming together as Americans" bullshit, which is just a slick way of winning amnesty for the crimes of this administration.

I think most Americans could come together with at least Cheney behind bars. They could just have Juniorbush bronzed and placed on a pedestal in front of his presidential library, as both an object of veneration and a decorative perch for pigeons.

Those of us who would wish the bronzed Bush ro be a more colorful memento could feed the pigeons an assortment of dyed popcorn, so as to make for a multicolored patina.

I'm absolutely convinced no one in the senate will ever vote for impeachment or pursue prosecution of Bush or Cheney because they are afraid they might be susceptible to the same results for having supported their nefarious pursuits.

Or....or.....here's an outrageous concept, there are no grounds to initiate impeachement hearings

Then how come Dennis Kucinich could come up with 35 articles of impeachment?  And is threatening to come back with a total of SIXTY if the congress doesn't move?

Anyone who doesn't understand that Bush and ESPECIALLY Cheney should have their asses hauled in to a World Court and jailed for the rest of their lives for crimes against humanity truly has their head in the sand.

Because coming up with charges requires no evidence.

The evidence would be presented at a Senate trial after the impeachment vote in the House.

BINGO.  Next

<<Or....or.....here's an outrageous concept, there are no grounds to initiate impeachement hearings >>

Well, here's one to wrap your head around - - does planning and waging a war of unprovoked aggression (a capital crime according to the Nuremburg War Crimes Commission) qualify as a "high crime and misdemeanour" (the requirement for impeachment?)

Or do you think there's no evidence that Bush and his Cabinet planned and waged the war on Iraq?

Not when the above allegation is PURE AMBE.  But hey, if Kucinich has actual EVIDENCE of such, by all means, bring it forward

Or do you think there's no evidence that Bush and his Cabinet planned and waged the war on Iraq?

There are Military plans & contingincies to wage war all over the globe, in all sorts of regions & scenarios.  Rarely are they ever implimented

[Michael Tee]

<<But hey, if Kucinich has actual EVIDENCE of such, by all means, bring it forward>>

I think you've got it bass-ackwards.  Who if not Bush and Co. planned and executed the war?  The charges are self-evident and the actual evidence of what they did is abundant. 

The defence (genuine belief that Iraq was an immediate threat) is for them to prove.  According to you, that should be no problem.  "All the intelligence agencies in the world say . . . ")

So there's enough evidence for them to be charged, although they all CLAIM to have the perfect defence.  Fine.  Let the games begin.

[Amianthus]

Of course they did, after having gotten approval from Congress.

I find it hard to believe that Congress would impeach them for waging a war that Congress authorized.

[Michael Tee]

<<I find it hard to believe that Congress would impeach them for waging a war that Congress authorized.>>

They planned it, they sold it, Congress bought it.  The authorization of Congress was procured by fraud.  How can Bush defend himself by pointing to an authorization that he procured as the result of his own fraud?  That is ludicrous.

[sirs]

Talk about getting it bass-ackwards

Defending BushCo is so 2004.

The tide is turning against you guys and I'm sure when Bush and Cheney are sitting in those little boxes with those little speakers on their ears and listening to the evidence being laid out against them in the War Crimes trial, you'll be demanding that the Army storm the courthouse and free them with guns blazing Rambo-style.
