:-( - chase001, on 10/12/2007, -9/+44We need to all push for Impeachment of Bush and Cheney to end their perpetual wars.
- Waiting2awake, on 10/12/2007, -6/+38 Your system is broken, your laws and lawmakers owned. Your politicians owned. You, as American citizens have been sold out by your system. Any idea of change happening within that system is naive, and only wasting time. You all know, deep down, where this invaribly ends. Either you stand up for America, or your children will have to, or your grandkids, or..... The chioce is yours.
- jetsetgo, on 10/12/2007, -11/+40Get your deferment papers ready.
- jetsetgo, on 10/12/2007, -4/+31I'm glad they waited until this year.
I mean really, could they have picked a worse time to make a case for an attack in Iran as a presidential election year? If the ***** democrats can't rally together in opposition of this I might just shoot someone. - lukas88, on 10/12/2007, -3/+28I'm calling shenanigans. I haven't much respect for cheney but if he or his aide said that they would be able to put the whole phrase in quotes. The fact that only part of the sentance (in both cases) is in quotes makes me think this is a spin job. He might have been saying something similar but even after following up on the article's sources, I could not find the original quote.
- laterthandawn, on 10/12/2007, -7/+31how the hell is this even being discussed? can we impeach these asshats yet?
and, for the record, i'm sick of neocons pulling out the "framer's intent" bs. forget flag burning or gay marriage...if our forefathers got wind of THIS *****, they'd be calling for revolution all over again. - BitSlash, on 10/12/2007, -6/+29/wrist
- richashby, on 10/12/2007, -5/+28Agreed. Somehow nearly impeaching Clinton over a sexual indiscretion now seems incredibly trivial.
Cheney would probably get out of it on medical grounds however. Or shoot his way out... - benijuana, on 10/12/2007, -5/+28thats the point, they're trying to cram this war in before they leave office. They're really confident they'll be able to bypass the other branches of government. And what scares me is the fact that they probably can
- avasol, on 10/12/2007, -2/+21The American people will do what they always do best. Eat cheetos and watch TV.
The spine was ripped out of Americans eons ago. What remains are amorphic brainwashed drones.
How the ***** would you protest if most Americans are even afraid of speaking their opinion in public?
Pathetic. And sad. - Szandor, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19"Here comes the draft..... "
Sure, I'll go and fight.
Just as long as you bring the congressman's kids and grandkids with me. - DrScott, on 10/12/2007, -9/+26Well then, we all better buckle up.
- darkmule, on 10/12/2007, -5/+21So.. this is why we need a passport to get to Canada... its all so clear now.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+18Impeachment? Pelosi already sold out and won't entertain the idea.
- Boffbowsh, on 10/12/2007, -4/+18Please America, please please remove this administration. I don't understand how the rest of the world (especially us in the UK) can have no say in the direction of a nation (well, the administration of a nation) which makes everyone else's business it's business. If only Bush would wait, Blair would be out of office and we wouldn't be involved. But once again we'll be dragged in and tarred with the same brush by the extremists, and we'll have another July 7th.
- AKBryant54, on 10/12/2007, -8/+21@kazumashell
There's no way i'm being drafted. Military slavery is wrong, and if i was ever going to be forced to fight for something i truly do not believe i should be fighting for, they will have to meet me at my door, rifle in hand. - dggeek, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14"Just can't see a black militant religious nut job getting the nod"
Apparently the other thing the GOP is good at is lying to its constituents. - YumYumKittyLoaf, on 10/12/2007, -4/+16waiting2awake isn't making fun of America, he's making a true statement. Our system IS broken. There is a huge lapse between a lot of people I see (Friends of mine, fellow diggers, etc.) and the people running the nation.
I blame myself for not putting some interest into politics, I didn't vote, and I should have. Atleast i'm 18 and have a lot more chances to vote later on.
This is still sickening. I thought everything would be alright if we just kind of... got out of the mess we made in Iraq. But now... now we're going headfirst into Iran. - Syntaxis, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14So basically:
- Tens if not hundreds of thousands more innocent people killed.
- Hundreds of American terrorists killed in military action.
Oh sorry, I mean:
- A few dead ragheads that are probably terrorists anyway.
- Thousands of brave American freedomfighters killed in action.
Or did I mean:
- Bush sends thousands more soldiers to certain death.
- Bush makes the world an ever less safe place to be in.
- "You're either with us or against us" again, note: I'm NOT with the USA. I just don't give a f-word.
Billions of Dollars spent on war. Thousands of innocent and unnecessary deaths. Years and years of suffering and fear. Uncertainty. Mass murder. Threats. Attacks. Revenge.
But sure. Keep that Bush guy on the throne. He's doing such a good job! Go America - the world laughs at you. - nnnr, on 10/12/2007, -4/+15The forefathers would be calling for a revolution anyways because our country is run by corporations. More wars=more spending on weapons/ammo and the Lockheed Martins get richer.
- BillDoE, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13Why the ***** is Bush trying to start WWIII? We need to find some way to Impeach this whole administration NOW!
- bariswheel, on 10/12/2007, -4/+15The government can't just decide to do this, not if we revolt. Invading Iran will be a criminal act, and if you have one bit of sense and decency in you, you will stand in the doors of washington and make sure this president and its henchmen get impeached before they can do any more damage. The American people aren't going to just sit there while everyone gets drafted to fight a war to steal energy from another country. That's not what patriotism is about.
Too many people have died for a democracy in this country, let's not forget that and let's tell our governmnent what it can and can't do. We do not live in a dictatorship folks, so don't pretend like you have no power. This 'But i'm just one person' attitude makes me sick to my stomach. Get your ass up, STAND UP FOR YOUR RIGHTS, and VOICE YOURSELF. - IMADV8, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12Oh, is that all.
- stupidverizon, on 10/12/2007, -6/+16I agree with lucas. This article, and the other one it links to essentially grabbed a quote, showed it without it's full context, and built on it. You have to doubt everything you read. Have your own opinions and thoughts based on researched material, not opinions of other people and one quote, especially when reading articles on biased websites such as this one.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -7/+16The ***** is going on with both sides, it's just different *****. The Libertarian party is the way to go if one would like to govern based on the founder's intent.
- AKBryant54, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11Yeah, he's right. Our system is broken simply because the only thing putting restraints on the power of our American government is the constitution, and the only thing that gives the constitution any validity is the vigilant persistent populace that demands it be followed. When you have a lack of that kind of determination within the American public, then the government becomes freer to do as they wish.
It's very sad, but if you want to do something about it you can, go public speaking, get your voice out there. I have personally resolved to get into politics as much as I can, and perhaps even make a career out of it. It's not too late to change our nation politically, that principal is what makes our country so great. However we wont get anywhere as a people if we do not have true dedication. - AKBryant54, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11You shouldn't go anyway, when the government tells you that you have to go to some country and fight to the death for some cause that they tell you is important, it's nothing more than them expressing ownership of your life. It is wrong on every level of what makes us American, and you should not stand for it, we as a nation should not stand for it.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10@aceq1357
Of course he was impeached for perjury. He perjured himself to hide a sexual indiscretion. Most people in society feel that you have the right to lie about a blowjob. In fact, lying about a blowjob is not a lie at all. The Supreme Court has ruled that sexual privacy is a foundational freedom, allowing me to enjoy sodomy (Lawrence) and to make my own medical decisions (Roe). You probably disagree with those too. - Elohir, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10"The HS50s have also killed Americans, and seem designed to do so. "
A gun...designed...to kill Americans!!! DUN DUN DUNNNNNN!!
Sensationalist trash. - neave, on 10/12/2007, -5/+13Maybe they're planning to f*** up the middle east so much that when the Dems are elected in 2008 they'll have no option but to continue into the quagmire, then the Republicans get back into power in 2012 as the knight in shining armour. And it might just work...
- benijuana, on 10/12/2007, -6/+14this is a really bad idea...
- jambox, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8@savagecat
"black militant religous nut job"
Firstly, learn to spell. Secondly, just because someone is black doesn't mean they're a militant, especially when they clearly aren't. At all.
You prick. - PeteLP, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Why would any of us ever think cheney's a liar?
Why would any of us think cheney would ever want to go to war for false reasons?
Maybe because EVERYTHING he's ever said has been a lie? maybe so. - CodyBrown, on 10/12/2007, -5/+12Jesus mother ***** christ.
I'm sorry, I can't think of anything more restrained when I hear news like this.
Cheney is doing more to invigorate organized terrorism than Osama could have ever dreamed of.
I can only hope that the Democratic majority has enough brass, skill, and maturity to counter act this. - jambox, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8@pedwidget
No, there is no such thing as evil, only madness and hate. But you are getting pretty close, since you seem entirely indifferent to how many innocent civilians die for your sick politics. - avasol, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10Yeah so people dying in droves because two people who own the country want to get richer is OK with you, right?
I find your lack of any form of humanity scaring. - bronstad, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7meanwhile, bin laden is still loose. Good job Dick
- d3c0yn4m3l355, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9The reason they attack another country is very easy. Remember Afghanistan? Do you still see what mess it is? Because all news focuses on Iraque you don't get that in the news, now if we move towards Iran, we'll forget Iraque with their big mess. It's just a matter of moving attention around the globe and distract us from the *****.
- neave, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8It's not as simple as "you're with us or against us", them or us, terror or freedom. Use of blanket military force is only going to exacerbate the situation.
Diplomacy, sanctions, pulling out of Iraq, leaving behind a powerful combined Sunni, Shiah and Kurdish government in Iraq, pushing for a viable Palestinian state, Palestine's recognition of Israel... and myriad other points all need addressing. But if the US goes in all guns blazing, we could end up with more terror in the world, not less. - bariswheel, on 10/12/2007, -4/+9The government can't just decide to do this, not if we revolt. Invading Iran will be a criminal act, and if you have one bit of sense and decency in you, you will stand in the doors of washington and make sure this president and its henchmen get impeached before they can do any more damage. The American people aren't going to just sit there while everyone gets drafted to fight a war to steal energy from another country. That's not what patriotism is about.
STAND UP. - justgeorge, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7Don't want to get drafted? get motivated... tell everyone you know:
http://impeachforpeace.org/ImpeachNow.html
You see, the amount of time you spend arguing here could be spent actually getting him impeached. Average digg article gets read by say 2000 people, if half of you get 10 people each to become active, and say 3 of them really active about this issue that'd be 3,000 really active and 7,000 names to help get the impeachment through - and believe me it works. We had 2 people take mcdonalds to court in the UK which lead to a CHANGE OF EUROPEAN LAW..
that was 2 people with NO legal position (they actually represented themselves)..
Really you could just let these bastards get away with this, or get involved and do something. I'm not sure if that's the best impeachment movement - but check it out. Don't settle for this crap - you all know it's lies - do their kids go to war? No they sit round doing coke with daddy's enron and exxon money. Get them out of office. There are more of you than them and you've got the internet.. It will only take 30 mins a day - and a bit motivation, but you can make a difference: together.
GET INVOLVED - THE WORLD NEEDS YOU!! :-) (and you don't need to get killed in a phoney war for someone elses billions).
And here is where your politicians stand on the issue (they get paid by the same businesses as bush.. DONT TRUST CLINTON, etc):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Movement_to_impeach_George_W._Bush
good luck! - jambox, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6@pedwidget
Who started it, then? Your imaginary friend? - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6After Iraq, if they have the audacity to invade Iran, that's the end of the USA and the middle east. You can bet your ass the Iranians will do everything to destroy western civilization, through terrorist attacks, poisoning of freshwater sources, dirty bombs and anything else they can get their hands on. This would also be the proverbial last straw among the middle eastern nations, who would most probably withdraw all support for the US, knowing very well that they could be next after Iran. There goes the oil supply. We're headed back to the Iron age folks. Buckle up.
- cr4ft, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7What do you do when you start one war and fail? You start another of course!
***** idiots - mindsnare, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6America, if there's ever been a time for an anti war protest it's now (well not now, like, a little further on from now, but close), don't let those rat bastards do it.
I'll be sure as hell protesting Australia's involvement if it ever comes to fruition. - bronstad, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5i know, let's pretend that our great leaders are on our side and that their military interventions in the last few years have been successful and haven't destabilized the middle east enough already
oooh, a lollipop... what was i saying again?
prick - Homerr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I've been waiting 6 years for Cheney to kick it, but the RoboHeart-6000 keeps on ticking.
- jambox, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5@aceq1357
You're right, he was impeached for perjury. The fact remains, though, that others (not mentioning names, you know who) have done much worse but get away with it because the right-wing gutter press are on their side. The whole Ken Starr thing was a total fit compared to political norms and you know it. - dukeinlondon, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7@lookitsbeige : that's ironic isn't it ?
