Al Gore: Bush 'Broke the Law'

Al Gore charges that President George Bush has "broken the law” and implies that Congress should have initiated impeachment proceedings against Bush for unspecified crimes.

In a fund-raising e-mail sent out under the banner of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee with the subject line "Unprecedented,” Gore declares:

"The evidence now makes it hard to avoid the conclusion that George Bush has repeatedly and insistently broken the law and the corrupt Republican Congress has shirked its constitutional duty to hold him to account."

While Gore omitted using the "i" word, the consititutional remedy for a president who breaks the law is the House's impeachment process followed by a trial before the Senate.

"In my view, a president who breaks the law poses a threat to the very foundation of our democracy," Gore said, noting the seriousness of his allegation. "As Americans with a stake in the future of our country, we must act quickly and decisively. We have less than five months to win the six seats we need to control the Senate – and pull our country back from the brink of a constitutional crisis.”

Gore states that Bush’s "nightmarish regime” has been responsible for an "unprecedented expansion” of executive power and says: "I have never seen leaders that act with the contempt for the truth that I have witnessed in George Bush’s administration.”

The e-mail seeks contributions of $50, $75, or more to aid senatorial candidates and sets a goal of raising $1 million before June 30 to counter the Bush administration’s "truly breathtaking disregard for American values.”

Ironically, Gore notes that he has run for president twice and says: "I know what it takes to win.”

That's good for an all-day laugh. I'd love to hear what 'crimes' Bush has committed, according to AlGore.

Dear Mr. Gore,

Which law exactly did Bush break? Come on... name the law. Don't be shy. If you can't name the law that Bush broke then you must be LYING!

[Mr. Mojo]

Congress should have initiated impeachment proceedings against Bush for unspecified crimes.

Typical.

Gore is going after the move-on.0rg crowd, who are already upset with Hillary. That leaves her with two choices: Campaign to the middle (while keeping an eye on Lieberman's battle) or go toe-to-toe with 'Big Al' for the lunatic fringe.

Al does not stand a chance trying to get in Hillary's way, she will grind him up, spit him out and never look back. Al won't even see it coming when the knife is plunged into his back, then twisted, slowly, excruciatingly as he crumbles in defeat.

Have there ever been two people who needed to go away and shut up more than Bore and Kerry?

I was taught not to hang around where I was not wanted. I was taught how to read a clue. Why are these two incapable of this insight?

It's ego, massive, narcissistic ego. Ego greed.

Some of the best advice in the world is to just get over it. It's hilarious that one of the "Democratic" organizations is named MoveOn. The Dims never get over anything. They've been dragging history around for years. They're still mired in the 60's.

A Stalinist does not need to enumerate which law was broken. The seriousness of the charge is enough to indict and convict.
