CNN YouTube Presidential Debate!

I've gotta confess I'm really excited to watch this. Tonight it's the Democrats (!!!). Anyhow I think it's going to be cool because it's not taking place in some stuffy, overly controlled debate situation where the candidates can pretty much have ready-made answers to extremely predictable questions. The questions will be coming from average people, many of them close to our ages, and will hopefully really keep the candidates on their toes.

Of course it's also moderated by the awesome Anderson Cooper....my favorite newscaster by far.....so it should be fun. Anyone else watching?

George Bush is not scary. He's a simpleton guy who I think most people would and do get along with great when they get to know him. He's not Satan. He was is a good man who was put in some extraordinary circumstances after 2001 and has done his best to deal with a world that has changed a lot since the 90s. But certainly not a scary man.

Your an idiot.

Here is a list of IMPEACHABLE offences that I could think of. It is not a complete list.

1) The now famous Downing Street Memo, along with the testimony of former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neil constitute direct evidence of a decision by Bush to invade a sovereign foreign nation on entirely specious grounds.

2) The decision to deploy chemical weapons in Fallujah came from Rumsfeld who no doubt covered his *** by receiving assent from Bush to use these banned weapons

3) The decision by Bush to dig up dirt on UN diplomats when the General Assembly was considering his ill-fated war resolution

4) Authorizing torture of POW's - a direct violation of the protocols of the Geneva Convention - And lying about it before coming clean, then retroactively trying to cover his hiney with bogus legislation.

5) Holding so called "non-combatant civilians" for an indefinite period of time ,depriving them of their day in court ,acess to counsel, and acess to family members who could plead their cause to the public.

6) Kidnapping so called "terror suspects" , placing them on Rendition Airways, and sending them to countries like Uzbekistan.

7) Foreknowledge of 9/11. August 5th 2001 PDB Memo titled "Bin Laden Determined To Strike Within U.S.", plus the sordid tale of John O' Neill. This is just the tip of the iceberg.

8) Engaging in a massive voter suppression campaign in the state of Ohio to secure a second term by fraudulent means. Such activities carry criminal sanctions as outlined in the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

9) Covering up the involvement of Mossad in 9/11. The fellow that secreted these spies and explosives experts out of country and back into Israel , Michael Chertoff, was promoted from Criminal Division of the Justice Dept to lead the Dept. of Homeland Security.!

10) The attempt to quash the testimony of Sibel Edmonds using the bogus shield of the States Secret Act.

11) Engaging in a sytematic campaign of depriving political dissidents of their 1st amendment rights to condem Bush administration policy. Protesters are removed out of crowds and summarily placed in jail. The Secret Service, under orders of the President, conduct "Harassment and intimidation Interviews" of anti -Bush political activists.

12) Conspiring with Ken Lay to rip-off the the people of California by creating false energy shortages,thus creating the causus belli for charging energy consumers illegal, confiscatory rates.

13) Conspiring to rig the vote count in the state of Fl. by hacking optical scan machines and E-voting machines and covering up the latter by passing legislation in the state of Fl to prevent post-election examination of E-voting machines.

14) Illegally transferring $700 million from the budget for the war in Afghanistan for war preparations in Iraq in July 2002, without Congressional Approval. This is a Constitutional violation.

15) The "outing" of CIA operative Valerie Plame.

I didn't care to read of that Crazy. The thing is he knows he can do whatever he wants. Why? Think about this. He chose cheney as his VP. So if one gets impeached the other takes over. They would both still converse about world politics. I realized this last night watching something about how bad cheney is. That is why they chose each other. Don't believe me. Think about it.

....and not only that, but rumor has it that george bush is also directly responsible for global warming, el nino, teenage pregnancy (dont ask), air pollution, is pro-cancer, pro-aids, pro-rape, and he also runs at least 3 miles a day, which is a blatant insult to america's obese population. IMPEACH THE BASTAHD!!!!

First of all most of those "offenses" are not grounds for impeachment and the rest of them are pure hearsay. I think you watch too much Michael Moore.
Perhaps your hatred for Mr. Bush stems from your jealousy of a Yale boy. Because we all know that Harvard is no Yale.

Most of the offenses. So you admit that some of those offenses are grounds for impeachment. You only need one. Thier all grounds for impeachment, oh wait I forgot, you're canadian so you MUST know more about the US that an american.

Which of them are hearsay.

You know that our first president once wrote : "Don't speak of religion or politics with your friends".
