    by E&P Staff
    NEW YORK It’s often written or said in the media that, despite public opposition to the Iraq war here at home, military personnel strongly back President Bush’s handling of the conflict. But a poll for the Military Times newspapers, released Friday, shows that more troops disapprove of the president’s handling of the war than approve of it.
    It came on the day that at least four more Americans died in the war, pushing the monthly total to 107, the high point for the year (…)

  • 3,000 Dead: So Who’s Counting?

    Gerald Ford, an incompetent, never-elected past president, is being memorialized today by one of his good buddies and close confidantes, Dastardly Dick. The execution of Saddam Hussein is being celebrated by a bloodthirsty media and another never-elected, execution-happy, incompetent president. Dozens, if not hundreds, more innocent Iraqis were killed today, and more than likely, the 3,000th soldier crossed the threshold from life into the next world.
    We have seen this (…)

    Now I want to be absolutely clear, what the President ordered in this case was a crime. Now we can debate whether he had a good or bad motivation, but it was a crime.

  • Send 500,000 impeachment letters to Pelosi by her first day as speaker Jan. 3

    More than 50,000 telegrams poured in on Capitol Hill today, so many, Western Union was swamped. Most of them demanded impeaching Mr. Nixon.

    While arguing about whether we should demand impeachment in another thread, someone said there had to be a "groundswell of support" like there was for the impeachment of Nixon and cited this article:

  • Bush Needs To Be Impeached for His Own Good

    Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats have no intention of impeaching Bush. What is wrong with this picture? What does this tell us about Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats? If they don’t hold the Bush administration accountable for their endless crimes against humanity, Pelosi and the Democrats are complicit in the madness and criminality that is being perpetrated by the Bush administration. It is the Democrats’ (not to mention the Republicans’, as well as all patriotic Americans’) ethical and (…)

    I Hate To Say This, But… George W. Bush is a mindless, heartless, gutless, mental case. I realize this is a terrible thing for any citizen of the United States to say about their President. Of course, if Bush weren’t the president what anybody says about him wouldn’t be worth much. But Bush IS the president and that makes any statement concerning him, noteworthy. Including mine.
    If this were only Jim Moore’s opinion it wouldn’t amount to a bucket of spit. I know that. But when polls show (…)

    Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich said he became good friends with Senator John Kerry when both ran for president two years ago, but he says that if Kerry would have listened to his ideas about Iraq he could be president today.
    “I made it clear how I thought Democrats could win,” Kucinich said in an interview with the Globe. “Senator Kerry had another way of looking at it. I like John Kerry, and he would have been a far better president than George Bush will ever be. But I do wish he (…)
