This administration has lied to the public about WMD, it then lied about Hussein’s connections to al Qaeda, it has plunged the country into an almost insurmountable deficit while preaching fiscal responsibility, it is destroying Social Security nest eggs for American workers who have toiled all their lives just to get by, and it has not lived up to one single promise it made to its evangelical base. Worse yet, it has willingly associated itself with the likes of Karl Rove, an individual who seems to be proud of his unethical political games he has been playing since he was the president of his College Republican organization. More over, it would not be surprising to find out that it was Karl Rove who coached GW on how to use libelous individuals and organizations—like Swiftvote—to slander his political opponents. I am not a Clinton-lover by any means and I am a registered Republican, but I do think it is high time the American public should take a stand and impeach those responsible for our current state of the union. I am talking about those who push through bad policy while using “Remember 9/11!â€? as a crutch (or a jar of Vaseline, which ever you prefer). At least Clinton’s liaisons with Lewinski did not send 1,300+ soldiers to their death, bankrupt the poorest people in our nation, nor did it take away any individual’s personal liberties as do the Patriot Act and “free speechâ€? zones at presidential presentations. While what he did may not epitomize the wisest of personal choices, but it definitely did not destroy the entire country’s credibility with the governments of other nations. I know my rant has been slightly off topic, but just remember who the administration’s lead political advisor is… When is the American public going to wise up and put an end to this fiasco referred to as the “Bush Administration?â€?

Remember when someone in the White House lied back in the '90s? About illicit sex? How persecuted that person was! And compare it to what some in the White House are lying about today...national security! And mum's the word???? Jeez! Come on! A crime I can accept, because there are ways justice can work her objective ways, but Double Standard has no rules... To Everyone: Perspective!

Do you disagree that the White House's previous statements about Rove's involvement are incongruous with reality? Do you disagree that the White house has been covering up Rove's involvement for the past two years? If you disagree on bot these points, what exactly do you disagree with? These are the only topics relevant to this forum. Your entire post is nothing but a red herring to attempt to goad people into discussing an irrelevant topic and ignore the issue at hand. I eagerly await your response to my questions. Bush Jr.

Like enlightening us with their grand vision instead of trying to take down the current administration. Probably because there just isn't one. Same old, same old. They may have been able to bring down Nixon, but there is not a snowball's chance in hell, they will bring down Bush. When are liberals going to start to use a new playbook?
