I just wish you people who do not live here would read and learn SOMETHING about this country before you open your yaps and make yourself look stupid.

An elected official CANNOT be impeached for what is a failure to perform their duties. They can only be impeached for "high crimes and misdemeanors", i.e. breaking the law.

Now, guess what, if GW had in fact rested control of the National Guard from the LA Gov. and took complete control of the rescue/relief operation he just might have been guilty of a crime. Don't think that his opponents would not have jumped on that.

Clifra, I certainly am ignorant of the topic, hence I was asking questions about it.  Besides your rant in the first paragraph, I appreciate your response.  It was very informative.


BigGun, thank you also for meaningful contribution to the dialogue.  I can only hope that one day I can be an intellectual giant such as yourself.

Can anyone think of a politician of any country that said "I'm responsible" and then resigned his office?

I'm quoting myself from another thread.  Hopefully it will open a few eyes.

It's really easy to pick out the real men.


Some men will say, "It's not my fault. I didn't cause this."

Real men will say, "It's my responsibility." That doesn't mean that they caused it. Or that they are the reason things happened that way.


It means he has the balls to step up and make sure things get fixed.




Well, at least that's what my dad taught me as a kid. I guess all the liberal dad's did not teach them the same thing.

Hmmm... the bait is just a stinky on this thread as the other one.

If you think your opinion is going to open up anyone's eyes, you're fooling yourself.

Yep.

In any country.

In any time.

From any politician.

Which makes it all pretty silly to make a big deal over.

Any intelligent person knew he'd say it eventually and knew it wouldn't mean anything.

Just like it has never meant anything from any politician since time began.

But I guess it makes some people feel good to hear it.

I can't comment on this newspaper's opinion of W, but here is an earlier cartoon.



No comment from me - maintaining my impartiality.
