Karen, re: "Not only should Bush NOT be impeached, but the people who bring that type of idiotic, partisan stupidity to the table, should themselves be heavily fined, or maybe even jailed, for bringing false charges against a sitting President.

Only the vacant eyed, would think Bush has done anything but try to help the US citizens through a very difficult last several years."


I don't know if he's "tried to help the US citizens through a very difficult last several years." Maybe he did but when you use an "ends justify the means" approach one thing is very clear; you'd better be right.

And, guess what, he was so stupidly, incompetently and stubbornly wrong that as the house of cards begins to fall, as a majority of non-kool aid drinkers in the congress or the courts someday get a clear look at what he's done and as the harsh light of justice shines through, there will be a day of reckoning. When that happens his "good motives" will be lost in hurricane of unlawful shortcuts, unacceptable deceptions and illegal peripheral activities by those who sacrificed their ethics for dogma or profit.

You, Karen, should hope that no one goes to jail. Your disciple personality would suffer seeing those you've followed so devotedly for the last several years take a last fall.

Better for you to live in the good old days of 2001-2004; the days when all you had to do was say it and you had an outpouring of passionate support, no matter what was said. How about a trip down memory lane to review just a few of the silly things that were so passionately screamed as "the truth?"

*Saddam was a bad as Hitler, and nearly as dangerous with WMDs, the capacity to threaten the American "homeland" and a dangerous ability to rule the Middle East.

*If we didn't invade Iraq it would "continue" to be a haven for Islamic terrorists.

*Pat Tillman died a hero charging into enemy fire.

*That little POW girl Jessica Lynch, bravely fired her rifle until it was empty and killed enemy soldiers. The Special forces soldiers executed a dangerous nighttime raid to rescue her from the teeth of the enemy.

*The Iraqi people would accept our leadership and welcome us with flowers and open arms.

*The Iraqi insurgents are terrorists, dead enders and criminals, not nationalists or Sunni citizens trying to prevent a cruel and oppressive majority Shiite gov from ruining their lives and taking them from their homes in the middle of the night. And they're on their last, last, last, last, last legs. (They evidently have a lot of legs.)

*The vast majority of Iraqis want us to stay for as long as it takes to...

*We aren't building permanent military bases for an American presence in Iraq.

AND THE BIG ONE....We can "win" in Iraq if we have the "will."

Now you don't get that automatic crowd-pleasing support unless you stay on the disciple threads. So you're left with the last refuge of the wrong, attacking the patriotism or the person of those speaking words you don't want to hear. And it appears you'd like some of them to be "heavily fined, or maybe even jailed, for bringing false charges against a sitting President."

Nice touch but even that's losing its comfortability, isn't it? Ed
