Any comparison to the Clinton Farce is OxyMoronic.

===

167- clinton broke the law…spurned by a petty, irrelevant, entrapment mission. Bush et al have conciously violated our most coveted fundamental rights and perogotives. That’s a fact that 11 of 11 jury members would agree upon. Oh, for about, 100 charges.
Your suggestion that these offenses are comparable inherently disqualifies you from any substantive discussion here.
Please try.

Aww, thank you! And it is true – I’m now half Cuban. :)

Well we’ve got a sh$thead for president now, so pretty much any other kind of head should be an improvement.

Ha! Mind if I adopt this as my campaign slogan? :)

Can we really live with not even trying?

Failure to impeach is complicity — approval — exoneration for the regime.

Wexler promised to move at 50,000 signatures. He failed to move ON the 50,000 and instead moved the goal posts to 250,000. WHAT’S NEXT? A MILLION? Then what? MORE EMPTY PROMISES?

Did the Truman Administration lie and falsify evidence to get us into the Korean War?

No, but it did publicly exclude the Korean Peninsula from a list of areas that were deemed to be of strategic importance to the U.S. Many scholars think that this omission caused the Soviet Union and China to believe that North Korea could launch an invasion with no intervention by us. I suppose one could make the case that not declaring Korea to be an area of strategic importance when it in fact was a “lie”. This would be a fatuous assertion, to be sure, but not much more than the assertion that Bush “lied us into war in Iraq.”

Did the Truman Administration illegally wiretap and conduct surveillance on U.S. citizens?

Actually, yes. Provided of course that detaining a U.S. citizen 24×7 in a barbed wire enclosure surrounded by armed guards constitutes “surveillance”. But perhaps you have forgotten the internment of U.S. citizens of Japanese ancestry during WWII. Also, read any decent book on Naval and Army intelligence operations to learn of the illegal message intercepts done during and after WWII.

Did the Truman Administration illegally torture non-combatants and hold them indefinitely without charge or legal counsel?

“Torture?” not that I am aware of. “Hold indefinitely without charge?” Absolutely. See the answer to the second question above.

Did the Truman Administration rig two elections?

No evidence that it did. However, I believe that Truman was trailing in all the polls leading up to his successful bid for reelection so something fishy must have been involved in his victory. After all, we learned in 2004 that if the polls disagreed with the election results, then the polls had to be right and the election had to be crooked.

Did the Truman Administration fire U.S. Attorneys on false charges of incompetence and replace them with partisan hacks in order to launch trumped-up election fraud investigations before a midterm election?

No.

Did the Truman Administration ignore intelligence that could have prevented the deaths of more than 3,000 Americans?

The jury is out on that one depending on whether you believe that the failure to prepare for 1) the invasion of South Korea by the north and 2) the entry of China into the Korean War was a failure of intelligence or a failure to appreciate the meager intelligence available. One could make a credible argument for either side as this issues are rarely as clear before the fact as they are after. However; one could also say the same for the 9/11 attack.

In the real world intelligence is full of ambiguities and uncertainties and the meaning of intelligence data usually becomes clear only after it is too late. Reasonable adults recognize this and understand that Roosevelt didn’t “ignore” warnings about the Pearl Harbor attack, Truman didn’t “ignore” warnings about Korea, and Bush didn’t “ignore” warnings about 9/11. Irrational partisans are full of conspiracy theories of how FDR “knew the Japanese were going to attack” or Bush “ignored clear intelligence that 9/11 was going to occur.”

Just curious…

Hope the answers help.

Pop-Tarts for All!

Have you seen Toasterhead’s blog? It’s very good! And did you know that apparently he got married last week?

My sentiments exactly! Scream it from the Rooftops!

I second.

Toasterhead for president! I nominate toasterhead – will anyone second the nomination?

Yet our Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, is working behind the scenes with House Democrats, not to build a consensus for impeachment, but to do just the opposite: to keep others from succeeding in their effort to hold this president accountable by means of impeachment.

With the FISA bill still looming in the Senate, and a new war funding bill passed with no structure in place to Bring our Troops Home, we have to show the leaders of the House and Senate that this is still our country.

Please read the petition to replace Pelosi with a Democratic Representative who will bring impeachment proceedings to the floor. A Question of Privilege under House Rules IX can declare the Speaker seat vacant.

It can be done, it must be done. We have waited long enough.
