My o' my.. And you were accusing ME of conducting personal attacks... Now you're trying to imply that I'm a "tax evader".. Let's see.. I perform work for the government, for which they pay me, YET an idiot like you seemingly believes that somehow I'm avoiding paying taxes. But since the tax exemption for ex-pats only applies to approximately the first $80K, then if I weren't paying taxes, then I must not be the highly paid "war profiteer" you assert that I am... Really now. Are you so devoid of intellectual moxy that you have to resort to such desperate and superficial personal attacks?? Now with regard to impeachment: Bribery, perjury, and treason are among the least ambiguous reasons meriting impeachment, but the ocean of wrongdoing encompassed by the Constitution's stipulation of "high crimes and misdemeanors" is vast. Abuse of power and serious misconduct in office fit this category, but one act that is definitely not grounds for impeachment is partisan discord. Several impeachment cases have confused political animosity with genuine crimes. Since Congress, the vortex of partisanship, is responsible for indicting, trying, and convicting public officials, it is necessary for the legislative branch to temporarily cast aside its factional nature and adopt a judicial role. infoplease.com Hello!!??? Do you see that your partisan disagreements and libel are NOT grounds for impeachment?? You're calling Bush a liar and of having committed treason by deliberately lying to congress and drawing our country into war. Well, I SAY, PROVE IT!! And if you have sufficient evidence, then impeach him... But don't just stop there.. Go after the Senate and House Intelligence committees, who saw the SAME INTELLIGENCE. Go after George Tenet, who was the Clinton appointed CIA director. Fortunately for you, ignorance and stupidity are not felonies.. They'd be locking you up and throwing away the key... Unfortunately, the people who wind up being punished by your lackluster lucidity, are us.. Those who see you spewing your vitriolic and unsubstantiated diatribes. You have the right to spew them, of course. But people like myself ALSO have the right to "call Bull Sh*t" and expose your rantings and ravings for what they are.. vile crap. Hawk
