Parrott Talk

FROM COMMENTS:

Sometimes reprimanding a child (President) doesn't make the family (Washington) a happy place. But you still have to do it so the child and his siblings (future presidents) learns about accountability. Holding government officials accountable for their actions strengthens our democracy. Letting lawlessness stand weakens it. Impeachment is horribly UNDERUSED. Which is part of why there's so much corruption at the top. They must learn to fear it.

People think things are better because we improved the make-up of our law-making body (Congress). But the whole point is that Bush is BREAKING LAWS. So, it doesn't matter how many laws they pass if they don't serve ther OVERSIGHT duty (they swore to defend the Constitution) by impeaching.

Dear Causal:

I always thought that in a Democracy the voters were the main check on corruption.

Why is it that you Liberals always resort to litigation when you can’t get your way at the polls?

If you disagree with a president then you defeat him at the polls, not judicially. Why is it that politicians always try to legislate that which they can not achieve in an election. Impeachment was included in our system of government to address gross misconduct.

If you disagree with the prosecution of the War on Terror then vote the president out.

Maybe you’d rather have a man that cheats on his wife (Clinton), spends ten years bombing a country (Iraq), leaves American troops hanging out in the wind unsupported (Somalia), oh and don’t forget invading another country without UN sanction (Bosnia).

Didn’t hear any of you Democrats calling for Clinton’s impeachment then did we? Hell we’re still in Bosnia. Of course that’s President Bush’s fault, right?

I have lived and served all over the world, what we are doing now is probably the single most important military action the United States has undertaken since the Second World War.

Please tell me which laws President Bush is breaking? I’m so tired of hearing that, point out the laws he is breaking and we’ll talk about it.

Democrats just seem to be unable to admit that President Bush has done anything right. And I mean anything!

You people whine about the economy. Well let me tell you. I was looking for a job in Clinton’s economy. You know the one that suddenly became a recession the day after President Bush took office?

I remember jobs in my field (Information Technology) drying up, and the pay of those available plummeting. There were the Democrats denying that we were in a recession right up to the inauguration. (You can do that when you have the active collusion of the major media outlets.)

The current economy is very strong. Not perfect, but strong.

We’ll see how strong it is after your party raises taxes again. And don’t tell me that President Bush’s tax cuts were only for the rich. Save that for your welfare and minimum wage class party members’ comrade.

Your analogy is both childish and simplistic. However, it does highlight an area in which we agree. There is way too much corruption in government. And not just our government!

Just look at the mismanagement and outright corruption in the perfect (to Liberals) United Nations. (Can you say Oil-for-Food scandal? Darfur? Just to name two…)

My father taught me that just because someone is doing something different than what you want them to do didn’t mean they are wrong. Maybe you Liberals should take that to heart.

Don’t get me wrong, part of the strength of the United States our ability to disagree with each other. What I’m trying to figure out, is the point at which we moved from disagreeing with each other to attempting to ruin those with which we disagree.

With the constant barrage of bad news by media outlets like the New York Times, CBS and CNN is it any wonder that Americans are confused about the issues.

So Mr. Causal, please tell me just what laws President Bush is breaking. Oh and why don’t you use your real name? If your opinions are worth expressing shouldn't they be worth owning up too.
