    Once again, the Democratic Party divides between the rank-and-file and the "pols". The Democratic Party of Wisconsin, in the closing hours of its state-wide convention yesterday, adopted a resolution:
    "CALLING ON THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS TO INITIATE IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS AGAINST PRESIDENT BUSH, VICE PRESIDENT CHENEY AND DEFENSE SECRETARY RUMSFELD FOR HIGH CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS"
    However, the "pols" are attempting what they strangely perceive as necessary "damage control" such that (…)

    The GOP. That party that stands for Greater Operational Profits at ANY COST.
    Yes it was tuff but now I am out of GOP rehab and feel HUMAN again and seem to have feelings of peace and happiness that my "balance" sheet just seemed to lack.

    Why I’m Joining The GOP Leaving The Left For Fun And Profit Jeff Gillenkirk May 29, 2005 After a lifetime voting for and working for Democratic candidates and independents, I’m finally going to make the switch and become a Republican.

    As a Republican, I can now proudly — indeed, defiantly — pledge to (…)

    We carry the following report but caution against taking it at face value. It is still unconfirmed and we suspect that it may be disinformation intended to discredit those media outlets, like this one, that carry it. One way or the other, we should know in the next few days. Ed.
