Republican Congressman Predicts Bush Impeachment Says US close to dictatorship Paul Joseph Watson/Prison http://Planet.com | March 3 2006 Republican Congressman Ron Paul has gone on record with his prediction that the impeachment of George W. Bush is right around the corner but warned that in the meantime the US was slipping perilously close to a dictatorship. Appearing on the Alex Jones Show and addressing the port sell-out, Paul stated that, "it probably will contribute to the Republican's failure in the next election." Asked if the Democrats would use gains in the mid-term elections to set in motion impeachment proceedings against George W. Bush, Paul responded, "I predict that would happen." "I think he (Bush) has numerous things that the Democrats if they get a chance, not only will they be after him for that but it will be payback for the Clinton impeachment." Paul was inclined to believe that the port sales would go ahead anyway but took a positive perspective in pointing out that it again highlighted George W. Bush's complete abandonment of conservative principles. "At least this has awakened a lot of people and I think this is going to serve as a benefit," said Paul. "They're likely to pull this deal off but the American people are awakening now and I think there's going to be a payback period in the election." The Congressman expressed his resignation at the passage of the Patriot Act and how it again underscores Bush's unchecked powers "They had a few token changes which mean nothing and under the present system he (President Bush) just ignores what he doesn't like anyway." Asked if the US was heading into a dictatorship, Paul responded, "It's getting close to it, it's called usurpation of power and it's done in many ways with Congress just going along because they're sound asleep and this certainly is an attack on our Constitution and on our freedoms."

I heard the interview. RP is aces, but our scattered movement needs a national leader. I'd settle for a state-wide leader. RP should run for governor of TX. He'd be someone we can all gather around, that is if it isn't too late.
If the Democrats take the House in November, John Conyers will be chairman of the House Judiciary Committee (which presides over impeachment matters.)
I hadn't realized that, then it's almost a done deal. I don't think even Diebold can save the GOP now, but no doubt that will be the biggest hurdle.
If an impeachment makes it out of the House, it will be very interesting to see what happens in a Senate impeachment trial.
"If an impeachment makes it out of the House, it will be very interesting to see what happens in a Senate impeachment trial." I can only go by history:
I here now that the Wall St Journal is now talking the I-word, I think if the Democrats, take the house and senate in '06, GW and maybe shotgun Dick is toast, of course Diebold will be needed to prevent that. There are some in the GOP who are totally disgusted with the Bush lot, and would shove those two off just to recover in '08.
I heard on Lou Dobbs a short time ago that Peter King and Susan Collins are offering the White House a face-saving way to back down, but apparently there is no assurance yet that the White House will accept the deal. Under the deal, DP World would remain the contract, but would subcontract all management functions in the U.S. ports to a U.S. subcontractor.
Today Limbaugh spent the first 1/2 hour of his show demonizing the Democrats for how they would react if, hypothetically, Halliburton took over the ports deal. He also put a lot of effort into spinning up a story that Bill Clinton was heavily involved in the deal. He didn't say it was Clinton's fault, but it seemed important that the rubes be convinced that Clinton was in it up to his eyeballs. When asked if he still approved of the deal given Clinton's involvement, he said he wasn't sure. Sounds like an American conctractor will step in as the sub and the GOP will pull an Abramoff blame spread ... claim that it is as much a Democratic scandal as a Republican one.

Sounds reasonable to me. The Dims would be sputtering, spluttering and ' somebody give th' poor guy a drink fer chrissakes' Kennedy would be apoplectic and predicting imminent doom of the entire civilized world. Sheeesh....Dims are marxists and Globalists ....just like Boy Jorge. When you recognize the enemy for who it IS and not who it WANTS you to think it is ( two party divisions) then you'll make some progress. Util then you're just doing what your handlers want you to do; pissing in the wind and falling for the old two party bait and switch trap. Your handlers love it.
The Talk Radio mouthpieces do the "they're worse than we are" tango almost daily. I wonder when people will quit idolizing these scumbags regardless of party affiliation.
