GUEST,Sawzaw BS: A Declaration of Impeachment (1330* d) RE: BS: A Declaration of Impeachment 25 Jan 09


Let me see if I can make logic of this. Amos started this thread drooling over the impending impeachment of GWB which was a total failure.

But I am the one that is in error.

Amos brought us this "truth" that we might never have know about without his drooling fervor over a lost cause:

The Green Party of California General Assembly recently approved a resolution calling for the impeachment and consequent removal from office of President George W. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and Attorney General Alberto Gonzales for violating their constitutional oaths and committing "high crimes and misdemeanors."

Among the alleged violations listed in the resolution are:

+ Ordering warrantless searches and seizures of American citizens' personal communications, without oversight by the legislative or judicial branches of the government..

But where is hue and cry for impeachment for Rep McDermott, ranking Democrat of the House Ethics Committee after he does this which Amos fails to inform us about?

Rep. Jim McDermott, D-Wash., who traveled to Baghdad last fall and pronounced President Bush a liar, accepted a cash payment less than a month later from an Iraqi-American businessman with ties to Saddam Hussein.

McDermott collected the payment from Shakir al-Khafaji, the same Detroit-based Baghdad supporter who paid former U.N. weapons inspector Scott Ritter $400,000 to make a pro-Saddam documentary about Iraq.

Appearing live from Baghdad on the Sept. 29 broadcast of ABC's "This Week," McDermott proclaimed, "The president of the United States will lie to the American people in order to get us into this war." The comment generated a firestorm of criticism in the U.S. that earned him the moniker, "Baghdad Jim."

A little less than a month later, on Oct. 25, McDermott accepted a check from al-Khafaji for $5,000, made out to the antiwar Democrat's "Legal Expense Trust."

McDermott set up the trust to fend off a lawsuit filed by Ohio Republican John Boehner stemming from McDermott's relationship with a Florida couple who wiretapped a 1997 conference call between Boehner and then-Speaker Newt Gingrich, along with several other Republicans.


According to Amos, People like McDermott are the good guys. They get a pass when doing something illegal as long as they are Anti-War.


Yes Amos, by your own personal version of logic, you are always right.

All Hail Amos!!

Anybody that disagrees with his lynch mob mentality is simply wrong and needs to convert.
