Folks like you instantly go into attack mode yet always seem to fail at the facts and evidence part. You folks have attacked and dodged me for weeks on this question. Can't you see I will still constently ask it? As long as these types of post come up and the far left continues to scream impeachment talk, I will ask if you or TP has actually found some new fact or some evidence to finally provide some meat to this story. So, stop with the hate speech already. It makes me yawn. Provide some facts or evidence to back up your talk or simply acknowledge that it is loony emotional ranting that amount to nothing. #43 Again, why even make these pointless posts you do?

I have clearly said over and over that if Bush/Cheney did in fact know the intel was faulty beforehand, they should be impeached and imprisoned. To date, you have nothing, nadda, NOTHING. I understand that this crowd hates all repugs and hates Bush/Cheney. Your hate and your assumptions don't mean what you say is true. Please simply prove it and I'll hate them too. I'll agree and applaud their impeachment. Until then, I ain't going down that nasty road. Why is it you expect people to simply believe your assumptions and conspiricy theories without asking for proof? This crowd has been spewing this BS for years now. Maybe back off the unfounded BS for awhile and take that time to see if your infact correct. Even the leaders of the Dem party haven't found a reason to impeach. Just because a group on a far left blog have assumptions and opinions that lead to impeachment of the president doesn't actually equate to anything. Hell, get your own party leaders to start impeachment proceedings if what you say can be backed with so much solid evidence. I don't applaud corruption or deceit. I also don't assume this stuff based on nothing. Libby was found guilty and he should be in jail for longer then he probably will. After that, I don't follow this crowd when you simply make assumptions about Cheney that are unfounded. I rip on this crap because it is crap. The story is Libby lied. The story is also that the investigation found no real evidence they could prosecute anyone else with. The story isn't assuming and picking random people and saying they did it to. You gotta prove it. You haven't so it is crap. You and the folks here can scream your opinion and assumptions over and over and as load as you want, but they are still 100% meaningless and they won't become anymore true by repeating them Sorry.
