The jerk made it 8 years without impeachment. How and why?
Advertisements [?]Not one serious effort to impeach ever occurred. As if the jerk didn't quite qualify for impeachment, or even censure. Sad when you think about it, how much trouble and effort the right wing assholes went through to impeach Bill, and the utter lack of any desire to impeach the worst president of all time.
Was America simply fed up with impeachment after Clinton? Or was it that only repubs can impeach?
How is it and why is it that this cheap criminal and his gangsters got away with it all Scott free?
I am so, so disappointed in the American people.

21. To anyone who studies the Bush crime family, it is the only explanation
They amass information (as in the Boys Town pedo ring) to blackmail people. Those they can't blackmail or bribe, they kill.
Maybe you can get a degree in bush crime family studies from Berkley.

74. Unfortunately, the BFEE has its talons in most major political figures or they wouldn't be powerful
The only way to get rid of them is to rid ourselves of the viscera of the government.
OR...it's all in your heads, DUmmies.

4. The system is rigged in their favor. Justice comes hard in a rigged system.
playing the victom card - always a liberal crowd pleaser.

5. Need A List?
We start out with a repugnican dominated House & Senate that provided a rubber stamp to allow this regime to pillage at will with ZERO oversight...as they were sucking up the spoils with him. They allowed him to ramrod all sorts of spending bills through that turned a budget surplus into a defecit in no time. Then they allowed him to politicize all the parts of the executive and judiciary with partisan hacks who now enable this regime to stonewall and obstruct and continue their destruction.
The other part is the corporate media...they all but swooned over the manchild in 2000 and have been coward and "kept in line" by hate radio and a massive GOOP propaganda machine that all but shutdown any contrary opionion or true investigation. It's still going on despite millions tuning out and finding their news in other places.
Lastly, it was years of compalcency by Democrats who allowed the GOOP to steal this country blind...not engaging or challenging. Fortunately those times have changed. No matter how bad things look now, we have made some big progress over the past couple years and more is on the way. But there's a big mess to clean up.
(don't we have a mentally handicapped smilie?)

40. And The Alternative??
We've had a long, long road to come back in the past few years...and many expected a 180 turn in the country...I was just glad to slow down the runaway criminality of this regime. I'm not sure how much was slowed, but at least roadblocks existed now where none did prior to January, 2007. The damage that has been done can't be wisked away in 100 days or 6 months or even 2 years...and many thought mountains would be moved. We still are learning about all the corruption and crimes that have been committed over the past 7 years and this upcoming election speaks to further corruption or a solid break from repugnican control.
I feel a lot of frustration myself, but not doubts. I've seen a lot of ebb and flow in my life and hope that the darkest days are now behind...but it's gonna be one hell of a clean-up job and the goal now will be to hold Democrats to restore some sanity into this country and for an accountability of what and WHO were responsible. Change is happening...alas slowly, but better than no change at all.
Cheers...
uh...yeah...the DUmmies will get right on that one...

12. If a Democrat is elected....
...the impeachment drive will start again. Watch the media-I predict the Democrat president won't last three months without the first calls for impeachment proceedings beginning on national TV. Repubs will do anything foul to slow down and confuse the people and any type of progress or positive change in this country. There have already been threats on some of the more right wing gun forums to shoot Obama, and I expect there will be many more when he wins the big one.
They are evil, stupid people who are convinced they are correct and never have a second thought about it. They are easily played by their "leaders".

15. Two words: shadow government
Simply, there are hidden agendas and the government they want us to believe we are, and the government we actually are, are two different things. And, the ugliest truth of all, is that that shadow government must be Republican in nature because Democrats get penalized more often, even when they follow their open policies, than Republicans do when they get caught with their hidden ones.
run by lizards...
well, Stalin was one of 'your' guys...

49. Because of Ritual Sacrifice and group PTSD
The powers that be have been studying group and individual psychology for some time. They knew that people seeing others jump into the volcano in Sept 2001 would stir up some ancient reaction to ritual sacrifice. That's why the media whores showed those images over and over and over and over and over.
As a result, they knew people would look to authority. I think this phenonemom (sp) was discovered by psychology quite some time ago.
They probably have another scientific name from group PTSD by now. But as a population, we were (still are) suffering from it yet. There is a reason that you're told not to make any major decisions after a loved one dies. You're not thinking correctly. The public was not thinking (at all) after sept. 01, so the gold-plated coffin salesmen that make up the crime family running America stepped in.
They needed a new pearl harbor to give them cover, and they got one. I think a few freaks in the govt. engineered this, and the creeps at the top let them so the power could take advantage and enrich themselves.
The Dems. probably are being threatened with their lives and their families lives. But the fascists are probably threatening to kill more of us peasants as well.
what was that part about sanity again?
