Al Gore: Bush 'Broke the Law'
Newsmax.com ^ | 6/27/2006 | NewsMax.com Staff

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.”

"Al Gore charges that President George Bush has "broken the law”"

Yes, but "there's no controlling legal authority", right Al?

Oh, thanks. Now you go and tell them, they never would have figured it out, if it wasn't for you.

/sarcasm

Seriously, I was just talking to someone about this and we both came to the same conclusion:

We, as conservatives, could advise them better on how to win an election then their own advisers do. Problem is, we have integrity and won't do it!

Nevermind that dear Al push for the Clipper Chip - a device that would have effectively tapped *every* phone in America.

Al Gore is a totalitarian loon.

Does being defeated in a crowded field for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1988 count as running for President or did he run some time other than 2000?

Funny, considering the source. Just say "No Controlling Authority" and it's all swept away! Assuming, of course, you have a sycophantic MSM on your side.

You're very welcome.

Yes, we could advise the Dims, if we had the time. If we didn't have jobs and better things to do. If we truly, truly cared.

The Dims are dangerous "to children and other living things". Remember that old cliche'? The Dims are dangerous and raving nuts. They may not all be actual, consciously traitors, but they're close enough for me.

When evaluating the evidence for or against the existence of a benevolent God, surely the fact that Al Gore did not become President of the United States would add a great deal of weight to the column labeled "reasons to believe in God"...

Why didn't you resign when your Buddy Bill Clinton was breaking them right and left? Oh thats right! You were breaking them too. Not your fault you don't remember the Buddist Monks, since your memory was erased from all that Ice Tea you were drinking.
