Finding a Voice: You know what...


It is way past time to bust the Bushites.

Amen, say it again!

...and it isn't about hating Republicans. Republicans used to be nice people, with some integrity, lile Howard Baker of Watergate Impeachment Hearings fame. While I never agreed with them on much, I had nothing against them personally.

But these people, who have taken over our government, are not my father's Republicans. NeoCons, Theocons and just plane old Cons; that is what we have today, and they are destroying this country as surely as they have destroyed Iraq.

My desire to see justice done has nothing to do with the impeachment of Clinton, though I did not consider adultery a consititutional crisis, admittedly the perjury trap worked and Clinton fell head-long into it, and for that, I consider him stupid and untrustworthy.

Presidents should be held to higher standards That includes the present one.

If we, the people, do not demand, in the strongest terms, that the Bushites be held accountable for all they have done in our name and with our blood and treasure, then we could be considered complicit in war crimes, after the fact.

This serious business, folks. Enemies of our constitution are in the White House and they are war criminals.

Finding a Voice: You know what...:

"You know what; it's time, actually well past time for Congress and the American people to say NO to the president and his latest poodle, Attorney General Gonzales. NO, we won't stand for any more lies or excuses for assuming powers not in constitutional evidence. And NO it is not acceptable to listen in on domestic phone calls or read domestic e-mails whenever you feel like it. Besides, the notion that commander-in-chiefdom bestows extraordinary, unrestricted, un-challengeable power on the president is unacceptable on its face.

First and foremost, the president is instructed by the Constitution to 'take care that the Laws be faithfully executed,' obviously an instruction this particular president is disinclined to heed. The fact that Congress gave him the right to use force against Saddam Hussein if all else failed, did not mean that he should have usurped the power of Congress 'to declare war.' Neither did Congress consider that the president would fail to return to the United Nations or provide follow-ups to bolster his contention that force was the best course of action."
