Grounds for Impeachment
"Isn't this grounds for impeachment?" -- vote rigging, a blind eye to terror and the bin Ladens before 9-11, and so on. Evil, stupidity and self-dealing are shameful but not impeachable. What's needed is a "high crime or misdemeanor."
And if this ain't it, nothing is.

Just a Bump in the Beltway: Smoking Gun
1 Comments:
The Smoking Gun article (unfortunately) absolutely nails it. We've got stone cold evidence of intelligence-bending to sell us on death (by the tens of thousands), and Bush has proven (time and again) just how easy it is to lie to the American people. (Not everyone reads, and they simply can't fathom an American president would lie repeatedly.)
Another cold hard truth is that much of the national news media today isn't concerned with balanced reporting; they're too busy oiling their propaganda machines.
In his recent interview with "Planet" editor Tom Valtin, Robert Kennedy, Jr., had this to say:
"The press is letting this president get away with policies without ground truth in them, and by that I mean the easily discernable lies of this White House on so many issues—from Medicare to the environment, the Iraq war to the budget. If we had an active, independent press that was willing to speak truth to power, the voters in this country would not be behaving irrationally. A democracy relies on an aggressive, independent press, and we no longer have that."
Kennedy cites "the endless negligence of the American press" as the principal threat to American democracy. Luckily (and none too soon) some former news media are finally starting to speak out, including the highly esteemed Walter Cronkite. In a recent letter he mailed out on behalf of The Interfaith Alliance, Cronkite writes:
"Like you, I understand that freedom of speech is a founding principle of our nation, and I respect people with the courage to speak their minds. As a concerned person of faith, however, I have watched with increasing alarm as the Christian Coalition and other Religious Right groups manipulate religion to further their intolerant, political agendas."
It's but one of the many crimes committed by this administration, and Bush couldn't have found a better partner in crime than Tony Blair had he created him from dust.
Bush may think he's above answering to the American people and the world, but there is One he will answer to in the end. If we feel "used," imagine how He must feel.
