Majority of Americans support Bush impeachment for wiretapping.

A new Zogby poll commissioned by AfterDowningStreet.org finds that 52% of Americans do want Congress to consider impeaching President Bush if he authorized the wiretapping of American citizens without a judge's approval.

Which he did.

Finally, the voters of this country may be making some sense again.

Wasn’t it Bush that said in terms of history and the study of it that American students and citizens in general had little or no grasp of what came before their respective generations? Granted he didn’t say it so eloquently, he just said you all were crappy students where history was concerned. During the process of his little No Child Left Behind (Not!) stump speech he declared that history should be paid more attention to in the education system. But is that what he really wants? His focus this year is on math and science in an effort to create more frustrated high school students who won’t be able to pay for college due to cuts in funding. Those that can pay for college will end up competing against much cheaper foreign labor through outsourcing and HB1 Visas (Silicon Valley 51% staffed by HB1 Visa holders?go figure). Oh well I guess there?s always the corner Wal-Mart to help you and your kids pay your tuition bills.

Still and all as an individual I think history is deeply important. Without it society forgets where it’s been and where it doesn’t want to go in the future. On that basis, I would like to recommend the author William Shirer to Tina1, Bart Chapman, and Williams. Mr. Shirer chronicled beautifully the rise and fall of the Hitler?s little empire through a series of books he wrote as he lived that atrocity in Europe. He is a pre-eminent historian that can teach you all about fascism and perhaps may help you to see the ugly parallels we see today between Hitler?s rise and the Bush administration. Unless you?re involved as a stakeholder in a large corporation like Great Grand pappy Bush, J. P. Morgan and a several other ?industrialists and bankers? who buddied up to good old Hitler, Bush could care less what happens to you. It?s time you all got your head out of the clouds and realized that Bush is selling everyone, Republican, Democrat, Independent, or other bizarre party straight down the river. Study his policies, see what?s happening, if you look real close you?ll see its not only the perceived ?dead beats? he?s dumping in a ditch or setting up for the great fall, its you too, in addition to areas of the world that he?s hell bent on controlling at the price of American blood.

If you don?t want to step back and take long hard look at what?s going on in your country beyond the crap FOX feeds you send me your email so I can check back with you in a couple of years and say ?I told you so?.

Ps. As polling agencies go Zogby is one of the most reliable. Whoops I forgot Republicans don?t read polls!

One can always depend upon the reactionary ranting by the likes of Chapman and Williams to include false accusations of which the shriekers themselves are guilty.

Chapman demonstrates the ignorance and irrationality of his mindless conservatism, while Williams gives his Rush “dittos” and joins Chapman in his utter disdain for the very idea of “truth.” His fear and hatred of LIBERAISM” (sic) suggests that he doesn’t have to look beyond his own doorstep for “mental disorder” or “dimwits.”

In their world, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Jimmy Carter, and JFK are “dimwits” and Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush are brilliant. If one puts politics and fantasy aside, the Democrats above are, inarguably, the greater intellects and Reagan and Bush of mediocre intelligence at best. Of course, putting politics and fantasy aside requires that one be part of the “reality-based” community.

President Bush is guilty of “high crimes and misdemeanors” and deserves to be impeached and removed from office. That is the truth in the real world. The Republican Party in the 21st Century is controlled by so-called conservatives who are no longer interested in reality.

You hit it Bart, right on target.

The left-wing moonbats just keep repeating whatever phrase fits their agenda even though it’s not true. (Tax cuts for rich, war for oil, lied us into war, Bush stole the election, and Bush stole another election, Diebold rigged election, Bush hates black people, so does Cheney, they spied on us)

lol ... lmao ...

What you NEVER hear from the dimwhits is AN IDEA, OR A SOLUTION, OR A PLAN.

It’s very clear ... “LIBERAISM IS A MENTAL DISORDER”

That WMD argument about ‘cooking the books’ was disproven irrevocably. The loony left banks on the ignorance and inability-to-form -a-rational-argument of its constituents. People like Tim hear a cynical, often humorous catch phrase and they just stop reasoning. Stop questioning. Stop growing. What perfect sheep they are…

This is just one more thing that this president should be impeached for. First, he should definitely be impeached for deliberately trying to “cook the books” on WMD in Iraq. As the Downing Street memos have shown, this was not just a failure by the CIA, it was the cold, calculated, deliberate misleading of the American public. Power has corrupted this arrogant administration. They now believe they can do just about anything and get away with it. I pray to God that the American people wake up before it is too late.

And we all know how ‘fair and balanced’ FOX has always been. Thank goodness for real news outlets. (Sarcasm fully intended.)

A new FOX News poll finds that a majority of Americans believe the president should have the power to authorize such a program.

By 58 percent to 36 percent, Americans think the president should have the power to authorize the National Security Agency (NSA) to monitor electronic communications of suspected terrorists without getting warrants, even if one end of the communication is in the United States. Furthermore, six in 10 say they are personally okay with the NSA monitoring their international telephone calls.

These results are parallel to those on related questions about the Patriot Act, which after receiving a short-term extension in December is now set to expire in early February. Overall, a 53 percent majority of Americans think the Patriot Act is a “good thing” for the country while less than a third (30 percent) think it?s a “bad thing.”

Similarly, 59 percent of Americans think it has helped prevent terrorist attacks, and 57 percent support extending the act.
