The wire tapping law and provisions allowing the Pres. to conduct such activities within certain legal limitations (which are pretty loose, btw) on the books were created following the Nixon administration...because of his illegal wire tapping activities against Americans. He was going to be impeached, by his own party. This is somehow different? Less of a Federal crime?

Cruztbone, my friend,
I agree that President Shrub is guilty of a long laundry list of impeachable offenses.
However, as long as the Republicans control everything, the impeachment of a Republican President is extremely unlikely.
Oh, not just the 4th amendment... on a daily basis, he attempts or succeeds at violating also amendments 1, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 14. I spend a veritable fortune in postage writing to my senators and representatives, and I have repeatedly encouraged my friends and people on this forum and others to do the same. I send emails. And I have actually had one receptionist (in a particular congressman's office) run to a back room when she saw me coming in again. Just an idea, folks... the president is NOT boss and CEO of the house and senate - we are; the voters/constituents/taxpayers. We don't suggest how they vote on an issue, we instruct them. Their personal views are irrelevant, they are to vote on legislation in a manner consistent with law and voter support. Every one of your senators and congressmen maintain two offices - one in DC and one in his home jurisdiction. Make every effort to personally go in and make your views known. Better yet, find several like-thinking folks in your area, and go in, one by one, and say the same thing, over and over. We must take our government back from the autocrats. Thank you, crutzbone, you are actually a person after my own heart. Let's make these sleazebags ACCOUNTABLE. No more Third Reich sleight of hand. No more third-world politicking. It is OUR government, not a money-making enterprise for former oil execs.cruztbone said:
I don't think that I would support an impeachment of Bush. Why? It is apparent that he has a difficult time as it is separating fact from fiction, controlling anger, etc. The poor man has enough trouble hearing all those voices in his head. He would turn to mental mush if he thought that there was a plot out to get him. He lacks the emotional and mental maturity of Clinton in dealing with dissent.caneadea said:
Clinton was distracted by the impeachment process and diverted his attention from the known threat, al Queda. It is scary to imagine Bush trying to govern and escape conviction by the Senate because today millions more of highly trained terrorists [Think Iraq.] would love to humiliate America by inflicting damage in this country. I believe that the Iraq War has made the world much more dangerous to America and Americans. We are less secure than we were 9-11.
Besides, who would replace a convicted Bush? The Vice President for torture. EEEEwwww, do I smell a national fart?

Most citizens re-elect there Senators, and to a large extent, their Representatives for as long as they choose to serve.
Republicans and Democrats tend to vote for their own.
That leaves all the people in the middle of the road who don't have strong convictions in either direction.
It seems obvious to me that a majority of voters agree with what their Congressional representatives are doing.
Many of us need to be regularly reminded that we live in a very conservative country and that most citizens would rather err on the side of caution.
Also, there are a lot of voters who are easily swayed by fear tactics, lies, and their own ignorance.
While I disagree with Dianne Feinstein on many issues, I'm certainly not going to vote for the Republican candidate just to get her out of office.
That would REALLY be counterproductive.
For the record, I DO contact my Congressional representatives from time to time to voice my opinions.............

In reality, Dianne will be in office for as long as she wants. There is simply no better alternative. That is, someone who agrees with us on more of the issues and is electable. Dianne is far from perfect. But, obviously a great majority of California voters find her at least acceptable.

I lived in California for 30 years. I never voted for Dianne in a primary. I always voted for her in the general election. Canadea is right, there just was never a viable alternative.
But my point is this: too many people just don't take part. They think going to the polls is the entire process for them. It takes more than that. If our representative lawmakers don't HEAR from us (like they do from the AFA freaks) then they will have no idea that there is a large segment of the population that does not agree with AFA, or any of its clone freak groups. Make your opinion known - not just to one person. I would rather you articulate your concerns to your representative first. If you choose to post it on here afterward, then so much the better.
