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."

This became obvious in the first few weeks of Bush's first term. Bush is and always has been, nothing more than a neocon Trojan Horse in the White House.
I agree, which reminds me of another Trojan Horse, Pat Buchanan who has a bad habit of defending Bush and blaming the neocons. Buchanan was the Trojan Horse that wrecked the Reform Party so Genghis W. Bush could defeat Weird Al Gore in the 2000 Presidential Election. Buchanan supported Bush in the 2004 election. Buchanan is a stealth Republican.

I wouldn't be too hard on Buchanan. He's a lifelong Republican who's obviously been having a lot of separation anxiety from the Party. However, I think he's consistently battled Bush over the past couple of years at least on a number of issues to the extent that he's persona non grata amongst most Pubbies. I can't really blame him for supporting Bush over Kerry in 2004. I despise Bush and only voted for Kerry as the lesser of two evils (my usual vote), but I definitely thought Kerry was a really bad candidate, on many levels. I can't really kick people too hard for not having a strong enough stomach to vote for Kerry. He's pretty nauseating.
