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.
"Bush is no longer a lame duck – he's a dead duck."
Vermont Towns Newfane, Brookfield, Dummerston, Marlboro and Putney All Vote To Impeach Bush
Is this the same state where the Jew Judge and his brother in law, the Governor's behind the scenes handler says child molesters go free ?? ...(for molesting white Christian kids at least) Who gives a rats ass anymore what the Peoples Republic of Vermont says , thinks or does? Every sad and saggy 60s baby beatnik or love child hippie who can't make a living in the real world migrated to Vermont and ruined a formerly great state. It's a snake pit; including the much vaunted Dartmouth.
Whatever it takes to get rid of Bush, and never hear the words Bush or Clinton again is fine with me. I don't care if they stand on their head and blow fart bubbles.
Impeachment would be the death of Dims; there are no grounds except the ranting imagination of frustrated Americans; ( except for refusing to control the borders , which is a Constitutional issue ; but strangely, polls say only about 10 % of the people care about the borders; imo THERE'S SOME SCARED BIG TIME LYING GOING ON IN THESE POLLS) it would be , and is, just another diversion to distract you from the borders and illegal swarming and giving away America by the NeoCons who are poised again to migrate to the Far East..... and it just ain't going to happen....so beat a drum that can be heard by those not lost in Fantasyland.
Bush will be impeached easily, with a god damned piece of paper. Sorry.
Never will this happen. NeverNeverLand of Dims.
Time to impeach the son of a bitch Insight Magazine: Impeachment hearings: The White House prepares for the worst Americans Support Impeaching Bush for Wiretapping (52% SAY CONGRESS SHOULD CONSIDER IMPEACHMENT Do you believe President Bush's actions justify impeachment? * 186468 responses (86% say yes) Jonathan Turley: Bush Guilty Of Violating Federal Law and of High Crimes and Misdemeanors." Get Ready For Impeachment - Worldnetdaily WorldNetDaily showed that 45 percent of WND readers – who tend to lean strongly Republican – believe that George Bush deserves to be impeached "I've shown that they've ruined the country and Bush should be impeached." "The plan is so disastrous to our country's well being and so fraught with potential risk to our country's security that the plan should be regarded as bordering treason! " "Time to impeach the son of a bitch" Clinton Impeachment: "This nation sits at a crossroads. One direction points to the higher road of the rule of law. Sometimes hard, sometimes unpleasant, this path relies on truth, justice and the rigorous application of the principle that no man is above the law. Now, the other road is the path of least resistance. This is where we start making exceptions to our laws based on poll numbers and spin control. This is when we pitch the law completely overboard when the mood fits us, when we ignore the facts in order to cover up the truth. No man is above the law, and no man is below the law. That's the principle that we all hold very dear in this country." "I suggest impeachment is like beauty: apparently in the eye of the beholder. But I hold a different view. And it's not a vengeful one, it's not vindictive, and it's not craven. It's just a concern for the Constitution and a high respect for the rule of law. ... as a lawyer and a legislator for most of my very long life, I have a particular reverence for our legal system. It protects the innocent, it punishes the guilty, it defends the powerless, it guards freedom, it summons the noblest instincts of the human spirit. The rule of law protects you and it protects me from the midnight fire on our roof or the 3 a.m. knock on our door." "What is on trial here is the truth and the rule of law. Our failure to bring President Clinton to account for his lying under oath and preventing the courts from administering equal justice under law, will cause a cancer to be present in our society for generations. I want those parents who ask me the questions, to be able to tell their children that even if you are president of the United States, if you lie when sworn "to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth," you will face the consequences of that action, even when you don't accept the responsibility for them." "There can be no shading of right and wrong. The complicated currents that have coursed through this impeachment process are many. But after stripping away the underbrush of legal technicalities and nuance, I find that the President abused his sacred power by lying and obstructing justice. How can parents instill values and morality in their children? How can educators teach our children? How can the rule of law for every American be applied equally if we have two standards of justice in America--one for the powerful and the other for the rest of us?" "I will have no part in the creation of a constitutional double-standard to benefit the President. He is not above the law. If an ordinary citizen committed these crimes, he would go to jail." "When someone is elected president, they receive the greatest gift possible from the American people, their trust. To violate that trust is to raise questions about fitness for office. My constituents often remind me that if anyone else in a position of authority -- for example, a business executive, a military officer of a professional educator -- had acted as the evidence indicates the president did, their career would be over. The rules under which President Nixon would have been tried for impeachment had he not resigned contain this statement: "The office of the president is such that it calls for a higher level of conduct than the average citizen in the United States."
Sleep with dogs you get fleas...and Boy Jorge chose the same NeoCon handlers that doomed the Clinton regime.
That's because they are the same, just two different heads from the same neck.

Great reminder. Thanks. God bless you! "Impeachment is a political act. It doesn't require criminal liability. Federal Judge Nixon was impeached and removed for the same acts for which he had been acquitted in a federal criminal court, and the courts -- up to and including the Supreme Court -- upheld his removal."

"America was founded on the principle that it is right to sacrifice blood for liberty. It is telling that the Bush defenders make precisely the opposite argument, that it is right to sacrifice liberty in order to avoid the shedding of American blood. In this they are, like the Dear Leader, avowedly anti-American. That George Bush is in open and repeated violation of his oath to uphold and defend the Constitution is no longer debatable. In keeping with his many anti-constitutional actions, he has publicly declared that he has no way of knowing what is, and what is not constitutional."
