Republican Congressman Predicts CHIMPEACHMENT!

[FORD]

I don't know how I missed Hardrock's original thread, but I apologize for doing so. Obviously that's not like me to do that.

However, THIS thread has taken on entirely a life of its own for a number of reasons, not the least of which is one of the greatest posts ever written in the Front Line, courtesy of Cathedral.

And I'd get Chimpeached myself if I dared to close this thread after that.

And yes, we need the goddamned merge function on this board, for exactly this kind of situation. The next time Icon manages to escape Bill Gates State Penitentiary long enough to visit the board, remind me to bring that up.......

Closing dupes shouldn't JUST revolve around which thread started first.

Nicky and I are famous for starting the same threads minutes apart from each other. For whatever reason some dupes attract more conversation, and diiferent momentum than the originals, and CONTENT should be the determining factor.

It's not an ego/ pissing match. You don't get free shower dances for starting the most threads. This isn't FORD being Mr. Censorship.

Let it go, and keep bringing the great threads/posts as usual.

We have bigger things to fight about than who's thread gets closed.

That being said, why the fuck we can't meld threads together in some way is beyond me.

This forum software appears to be three years old. There IS probably a merge function in newer versions. It's standard fare on alot of the newer message boards.

It was probably an option on this one as well, but Sarge chose not to install it, due to prior mishaps where threads had been merged too late, which caused the posts to appear in the merged thread in an order that destroyed the coherency of the merged thread.

Obviously there would have to be an unwritten "common sense" rule on the usage of the merge if it were enabled. Meaning that one of the threads would have to have a minimal number of posts, and something worth saving in the smaller of the two threads.

Fortunately, in this particular case, Hardrock already added a post to his version of the thread which allowed it to stand on its own. So I just performed a little plastic surgery with the tools that are available, and it became "The Case for Chimpeachment".

Man...what a mangled mess!


Hey FORD, I was just doing what you do to me....how many times have I posted a dupe thread and you have closed it?

Hey Cat,

Tell us what you really think.

Actually, I'd like to hear your views on liberals, if you've got the time.

I've got the time, it only takes a minute, lol.

I hate the liberal mindset, I don't respect what they stand for and i think their agenda is for a socialist society. I view them as communist clowns who aren't honest with the people about their platform and i believe they aren't honest with themselves in that respect either.

However, Bush Republicans aren't any better since they drove the party so far to the right, i can't back them either.
Bush has taken this country into areas I don't believe he is qualified to be taking us. he's arrogant, he's pompus, and by his actions I consider him a false christian...As i stated in my first post, he's untrustworthy.
Do i consider him to be a Hitler type?
No, I don't, I think that is an extreme comparison to be making, but it isn't completely far fetched since Hitler actually started off in the right direction, he just took a severe turn off course and into insanity that caused over 50 million deaths.

"Absolute power corrupts absolutely"

As insignificant as it is, Mezro is an example of that. One day he was just a member and the next he was a Webbie and he instantly started ordering people around and playing stupid, childish games with good people.
And this was just a website, apply that to a position of political power and you have George W.Bush.
I supported him in the beginning, he said what everyone wanted to hear and he got the support to get the job be it by votes or Supreme Court appointment...He became the President.

He did some good things in the first term, he came across as a man of faith and Godly priciples. but as i look back on it he was merely positioning himself for re-election so he could spend the next term on his true agenda, one that is NOT of God and NOT what this country needs.

I've listed all the issues I have with Bush in my first post, and the fact that i see so many so-called Christians supporting a war is unbelievable to me...even more so that I was one of them.

Not anymore, and i pray that God forgives me for being blind to the reality that so many still refuse to see even with all the evidence before them...

Something else i also see is a difference between Democrats and Liberal Democrats.

Liberal Democrats want it all their way, the simple Democrats are more centered and fair about their vision, we can work with them.

It's like a centipede, Warham.
We don't just have two party's, we actually have 4 now.
We have the Left, then the far left...the right, and then the far right.
They just keep growing heads, man.

It is our responsibility to see to it that the far left and the far right cease to exist, they should NEVER be voted into power or we'll all damn sure suffer for it big time.

But voting for the fifth party, the Green Party will do nothing but ensure one or the other wins, so we are in a catch 22 as voters.

We're damned if we do and damned if we don't. and another thing, the way we all attack each other with our bias, whatever it may be, is just playing right into their hands.
We stay so focused on what each other thinks that we miss what those behind the closed doors are doing until it's too late.

I'm all for unity, Warham. I don't want the government run my way and I won't stand for it being run their way.
Our strength has always been each other and that is what is missing.

We've allowed our economic strength to be outsourced, meaning our Manufacturing abilities, and to me that screams that our government has NO FAITH in its own people.
And if they had any faith in us they would have seen to it that the Trade deals were actually fair for us, the american workers.
if the government wanted to keep us safe they would close the borders. if the government gavce a damn about us we would keep our noses and our troops off of foreign soil unless THEY request it, and then only for a length of time THEY determine.

That means I think the war on terror is a bust venture right now. The Iragi's aren't standing up for themselves and we need to pull out and let nature take its course.

We are not the World Police, and we have no right to act like it in the self appointed fashion we do.

THAT is why we are hated across the globe, WE are the one's, the ONLY one's who have ever dropped atomic bombs on a country.
Karma would suggest that our payback for killing so many innocent people is due to come around right back to us.

In that sense, you can compare it to Hitler because he got what was coming to him and sooner or later, So will america if we don't make a serious change in our foreign policy.

It may start in our own streets if our domestic policies don't change as well.
I know i'm tired of playing by rules that change to benefit the Corporations and basically pisses on the poorest in our society.
The rich are outnumbered in this country, yet they call all the shots?

Bullshit, it's time that the US Government, the entire government as a whole, was accountable to the people it is SUPPOSED to be serving. the way our founding fathers intended it to be.

I sat down with my daughters History books and compared this country today with what it was 200 years ago and you know what?

By definition, it has become a Dictatorship with every single ammendmant that was made to the Constitution.

It was NOT designed to be changed, because if we can just decide to alter it as we go there really was no sense in writing the damn thing in the first place.
In that sense, Bush was half right, the Constitution "HAS" become just a piece of paper.
And it did so by the hands of those we trusted to uphold it.

Doesn't it make sense to you that to uphold something means to protect it from alteration?
Can anyone show me a President since the beginning of the last century that did that?

I don't think so, and Bush has been the worst offender in History.

the Constitution is just a piece of paper?
No, Mr. Bush, YOU'RE just a piece of shit puppet of the Corporations.

I WANT THE ENTIRE BUSH ADMINISTRATION RE-CALLED FOR FAILURE TO UPHOLD ITS OATH TO THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA AND FOR FAILING TO PROTECT THE PEOPLE BY ALL MEANS POSSIBLE!

What he does with the borders is the same as me removing my front door and expecting people not to walk in to see what they can walk out with or kill me to take.

G.W. Bush, like his father, has affected my life negetively and i'm tired of it.
He is not a fiscal Conservative by any stretch and i'm tired of being fiscally responsible so that piece of shit can spend like a kid in a toy store...and all on miltary toys at that.
You don't take away from education and the physically ill to achieve your fucking military agenda.
If they need more funds then the cuts should start in their own bank accoonts. but isn't it funny how they seem to be making more and more money while you and I find it increasingly harder to do the same?

Novenmber is payback time for any Republican who has backed that man in all of this.
Don't be surprised if Ohio doesn't turn Blue later this year, and I clearly see that happening with every nightly news report here.
The sleeping giant Japan spoke of wasn't the government, it was us, the people, and we're going to turn on ourselves to purge Washington of it's traitors, just wait and see.

I've tried, i've tried real hard to ignore all of the bullshit. but brother, I can not ignore another ounce of it and have any self respect.
I cannot ignore any more and not spit on the graves of my family who died for this country and what it USED to stand for.

I just can't do it, and i pray and hope that everyone has eyes to see the truth and not the party line.

WOW, i appreciate the props, Ford, but i don't think it was the greatest post ever in this forum...It's just a passionate one from a fellow american who loves this country, not what has become of it.

But thanks for not closing it, as i get challenged on my views i'll have much more to add to it, lol.

To hell with labels, it's now become a question of, Do we love our country or not?

If so, it needs us more than ever to join together and fight for it as one.

Bush needs to be impeached, and I hope it happens. I used to support Bush, but he lost me when he started that stupid, unjust war over in Iraq on false pretenses. The fact that he's willing to let the fox take charge of the henhouse regarding the Arabs taking over key ports is the straw that broke the camel's back for me. I'm fed up with this idiot...it is so embarassing, as an American, to have such a fucking moron as our President...he's just so unbelievably stupid it's pathetic, and he keeps proving my point more and more every day he's in office. Bring on the chimpeachment!

I might add to this that I was appalled at how the Bush Administration handled the Katrina disaster re: the slow government response to it...that Bush appointed someone the head of FEMA that had no prior disaster response experience, and that it took a fucking week for aid to arrive to those poor folks in New Orleans that suffered so much and experienced a virtual hell on earth because the government drug its feet getting there. That, alone, is grounds for impeachment, IMO. Also, the fact that Bush has taken a surplus that he inherited from the previous administration, and has proceeded to turn it into a $500+ billion dollar deficit (don't know the exact figure, but it's somewhere in that neighborhood). His economic policies are obviously extremely flawed, along with his foreign policy, and these expensive wars are only making the deficit grow that much bigger each day we're in Iraq and Afghanistan. The money that the government is wasting in Iraq could be better utilized here at home on such things as the Gulf Coast recovery effort, healthcare, education, just to name a few, but these domestic issues which should be priority number one are being overlooked as the Bush Administration's number one priority is their stupid, costly war in Iraq. This country is headed south, fast, and something needs to be done about this corrupt, inept administration, soon, before the damage gets to the point that it's irreversable.
