Border Agent's Death Would Spark Impeachment Talks, Republican Says
CNS NEWS ^ | February 07, 2007 | Kevin Mooney and Fred Lucas

(CNSNews.com) - Weeks after accusing President Bush of "shameful" behavior over the imprisonment of two Border Patrol agents who shot an unarmed suspected drug smuggler along the U.S.-Mexico border, a federal lawmaker turned up the heat further Wednesday, suggesting the president should be impeached if either of the two men is murdered in prison.

Nopardons and I have our own battles, my friend.

But we both apparently see that "George Bush has destroyed America" is equally vapid whether it comes from the Cindy Sheehans and Hugo Chavez's of the world or whether it comes from the Michael Savage wing of FR.

Bush hasn't destroyed America.

His policies on the border and his inept handling of the war in Iraq, i.e. concentrating on social building instead of wiping out the terrorists there and in Iran and Syria certainly aren't helping things here.

What Bush HAS done is create discord among conservatives by his schizophrenic policies which vacillate between liberal and conservative.

No doubt he is handicapped by the Democrats and back-stabbing RINOS, not to mention the ignorance and short memory of the American public and the inevitable character assination in the press.

However, I think he could, and should, perform far better than he has.

I could not disagree with you more on the Iraq war. Bush has been one of the only stalwarts in seeing to it the job gets done. He said when he went in that we would toss out Saddam and stand up an allied democratic gov't. It is not easy work, but it is necessary work. To level towns and cities then leave would in its wake an Iranian influenced terror state, or something equally bad.

Bush has sown "discord" among conservatives since he ran in 2000, on a platform that included prescription drugs and eudcation "reform". He never ran as a small government conservative, and he certainly has not governed as such. That being said, his list of conservative accomplishments is quite robust.

I'm not with the Bush impeachment argument. But it would be shameful, and he would deserve a lot of scorn directed towards him.

His globalist Mexicali anti-American truculence is almost begging for it.

Consider that we would then have Dick Cheney in the White House instead.

Thank you for providing info about Rep. Ted Poe, BnBlFlag. I'm not sure why GOP_Thug_Mom didn't want to answer my question, but I like having this info directly from FReepers who have known about his judicial and legislative careers.

>>>Tony Snow also "spun" Laura Ingraham with his pronouncement that she should "read the transcript" of this trial. Nice Tony! There IS no transcript! Sheesh. They can't even keep up with all the lies.<<<

I initially posted that Snow lied to Hannity about the transcript, but that was a mistake. Snow in fact lied to Laura Ingraham about the transcript. Laura got pretty hot when she found out he lied to her.

I understand your points and partially agree with them.

Given the choice again, Bush is still better than any DemocRat.

I just wish he was MORE conservative and stopped this nonesense about pandering to Mexicans and other illegals.

"I'm damn sick of the bircher conspiracy theorists pulling fantasies out from their pieholes"

I suppose that you've failed to notice that all the "fantasies" that the Birch Society predicted would happen to our govt, our schools, and the world have come true?

It's time you got your head out of your piehole.

This one was a bit amusing given the players:

Judge puts foot down after lame excuse
Houston Chronicle, Apr 15, 1992

In a building where lame excuses are commonplace, Assistant District Attorney Johnny Sutton came up with a particularly unimpressive explanation of his tardiness in court this week.

""It's hard to get up in the morning,'' he told state District Judge Ted Poe.

""You think this is Holiday Inn?'' Poe demanded. ""You want a wake-up call?''

Poe held Sutton in contempt of court for being 15 minutes late. But instead of being jailed, Sutton was ordered to sit in the audience.

He spent Tuesday seated among 13 probationers, some of whose cases he prosecuted.

"I love it how so called conservatives speak out against capitalism."

Actually, I'm a conservative who's pro-United States and would like it to remain a sovereign nation.

Are they still yammering on about the Bilderbergers and the trilateral commision and Pres. Reagan being one of their stooges?

And to confuse the issue, during the 1880's the Fed.gov started a system of health checks which if one failed, would cause one to be 'denied entry'. It was mandatory, and anyone not landing at a formal entry point was fined or jailed.

That occurred at ports of entry, not on our land borders. In fact, the current configuration of our land borders didn't come into existence until February 14, 1912, when Arizona became the last of the 48 contiguous states to join the union. Oklahoma had joined in 1907, and New Mexico January 6, 1912.

No fencing or controlled entry points on our land borders with Canada and Mexico existed until recently in our history. So to repeat, our land borders have always been wide open and people have flowed freely across them in both directions throughout most of the time the U.S. has existed.

I say this not to excuse what has been happening over the last 20 years since President Reagan signed the first (and so far only) genuine amnesty for illegal immigrants in our history, but to explain it in part.

Maybe you need to get up to speed on their latest conspiracy theories. I've seen a couple floated out here yesterday.

Since conspiracies are mankind's chosen way to do business, I'm intrigued by your use of the term 'theories.' Are you shielding your own activities?
