As much as he deserves it, President Bush will never be impeached as long as Karl Rove is around because Rove knows who to call and who to threaten to stop it. Also, the press will prevent impeachment from happening the way it has controlled public opinion throughout this administration — by playing down the impeachment idea. Political scandals about the president can’t go anywhere if the big business media owners don’t want it to.

When we are fighting a war on terror and people are fighting the leader of our war on terror it kind of shows which side they are on. It is not a popular thing to try and win a war but is necesary to rid out evil and stop it for good. There is no negiating with terorists that only want us dead. They will not reason, negotiate, listen, convert,…..
don’t listen to the people that want to be sympothetic to them, or embrace their ways… they are fools and we would all end up dead if we were to try and follow their stupid advice.

[...] Or in a similarly historic vein Norm Ornstein, a while back: “I think if weâ€™re going to be intellectually honest here, this really is the kind of thing that Alexander Hamilton was referring to when impeachment was discussed.” [...]

As for the big three auto makers- don’t invest in their stock. That has ben the advice from financial advisors for some time. They will probably put themselves out of business. The only thing that will save them is radical changes to their cars and less dependence of dollars from gas sales fattening uncle sams wallet. Do you know the govt makes more money on a sale of a gallon of gas than the oil co

“Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain and most fools do” -Benjamin Franklin
I guess we both have something in common there…
I am glad to see people have an opinion and are willing to stand up for it. I am still not bothered by wire tapping, I am bothered that there are maybe 1% of a billion muslims (you do the math- its a lot) that really hate America enough to want to do damage here. I am bothered that the whitehouse ignored warnings of devestation in New Orleans, I am bothered by an open border on the south side of the country. Be careful of your sources when you are seaking out the truths. Hopefully things will get better.

Jim i’m only 29 years old wasn’t alive during Vietnam but my dad did server in Vietnam. My dad also protested by not marching in the parade after Vietnam had ended. Personally if i’d been alive then, i would have been one of many who went to Canada. The war served no purpose and Nixon payed the price for his crimes. Nothing was accomplised by the war there. I feel sorry for you actually. The government took advantage of many soldiers then. Isn’t really your fault that you were there and i would never give any Vietnam vet a hard time. The soldiers of that time were doing what they were told “taking orders” which is what your supposed to do. However plese do not try to justify the war on vietnam to me you won’t get anywhere, and the wiretapping issue is going to be settled from the looks of things. Your opinion of wiretapping is the minority. Most who believe in freedom and respect constitional rights do not support your position. I’v started watching the news again and from the looks of things Bush will be in the history books by this summer. And if he isn’t we will have quite a change in leadership both house and senate next election.

Jim you are obviously a military radical which are the worst kind. The war in Iraq has far less to do with what went on in New York City and mostly to do with Oil. I agree that we had to respond to what went on in New York City. And removing Iraq’s leader was a necessary move. I also agree that Bin Ladin should be brought to justice. However, taking away or suspending Constitutional rights or the law isn’t acceptable. This only leads to the slow destrutction of what our Nation Stands for. We shouldn’t give in to Fear in a time that strength is needed. My solution to the Middle East as a whole is long term. There are many viable alternatives to oil producing automobiles. Which i’d like to note General Motors owns the rights too. They own these rights not for the hope to produce it themselves but to keep hold of an excisting Market. General Motors should lose these patents that they own and eventually they will expire. If we would only take this very large step to producing alterernative automobiles using alternative fuels we would cripple middle Easter markets in a matter of a decade. I’d also like to note that these alterantive fuels cost less to produce, would revitalize our farming belt, and would help to save the environment from future harm.

That was a stupid comment- my familly have been here and fought for this land since before it was a country. I want to see it continue to be the great land it is and allways has been. Were you against the war in Vietnam? That was a war against Communism. Are you against the war in the mideast? It is against a horrible evil, an evil that denies the hollocaust…. Maybe you are on the communist side, or maybe the radical side. What side are you on? You say there are some alternative solutions to wiretapping. What do you suggest? We have Ossama on the run, his people are being caught up to and dealt with. To me that is a glimmer of hope.

Jim your obviously not Educated. Breaking Code is not eavesdropping on private conversations. I’m familiar with what your talking about. My grandfather was a Marine in WW2. You are simply trying to change the subject. But there is no sense talking to people like you. You’ll find some twisted reason why we should permit Presidents to break current law. I’d suggest you find yourself a nice Communist Country to move to. They’ll make sure your safe.

How about the code breakers during WW2. They saved countless lives by listening in on the enemies converstations. I think that in those circumstances and ours now it would be rediculous to ignore what the enimies of this country are conversing. You may rethink this again if someone were to set of a dirty bomb in your city.

Jim you are a perfect example of why things like this occur. There are too many of you out there who don’t care about this sort of thing. But the adoption of the Consitution can not be eroded. We were attacked and many innocesent people died this is not a cause for the President to break the law. Didn’t Vietnamn teach any of us a lesson. I Hope George Bush is impeached. This would send a message that nobody is above the law or the Consitution as it is written. Then and Only then will we be free from this fear dog. There are better solutions and many alternatives to wiretapping. The law does not make exception for incoming or outgoing calls even if one side is outside the United States. The cause for “interpretation” of the Law is to be made by a Judge in these cases, which President Bush evaded. He should have to answer for his Crime.

The only ones who should be worried about the wiretapping are the terrorist cells in this country and the people who support them (or embrace their diversity) Where do you fit in?

I’m neither a Republican or Democrat and haven’t watched TV for almost a two years. I’v recently started to read the paper at work just to keep in touch with whats been going on. Nothing concerns me more than too hear we have become so insecure as a Nation that our Constitutional rights were suspended. I’m concerned with my Freedom and have been since Bush was handed a very close election. The future of our country and the legal system which is supposed to protect those freedoms is now on trial. I truly hope President Bush does have to answer for what he has done. However, As of this moment, i’m not convinced anything will be done. Somebody cheer me up and give me a glimmer of whats to come.

I’m a Republican. I like Bush and I support many of his policies, but on the case of FISA he broke the law and he should be impeached. Conservatives are supposed to be in favor of limited government and rule of law and Bush has broken that compact and should be removed from office. Life sucks, but that’s just the way it is.

Misleading AGAIN!!! Clinton/Carter’s executive orders did not include spying on American citizens without a court order. Actually read the order insterad of repeating conservative talking points please. Your lack of outrage is astounding. So just throw the whole “checks and balances” thing out the window eh? The very foundation of our society is our constitution which grants each and every one of us the same rights and priviledges. It is amazing to see so many people willing to surrender their rights under the guise of keeping them safe from terrorism. Ignorance is bliss!

[...] So, an “elected” president apparently tramples the constitution, giving the nod for government agencies to spy on citizens just in case they might be doing something bad – without the need for judicial review or approval. And, that’s being acknowledged by Bush’s own people as an impeachable offence – with the story broken in the Traditional Media by the New York Times. [...]
