Ramsey Clark Former Attorney General of the United States of America January 15, 2003
Ramsey Clark fell on his head in 1971 or something. Even his old liberal buddies think he is nuts. He is currently the head of a organization (the IAC) that is a front for the stalinist Workers World Party (the folks who broke from the Trotskites to support the Soviet invasion of Hungry in 1956, and who among other things, supported the Chinese government's Tianamien Square crack down). Though he himself claims not to be a stalinist or a communist or anything like that. Did Noam Chomsky sign the petition yet?
I voted for Vice President Al Gore in the last Presidential election. However, I wouldn't sign that or any other petition to impeach the President on these grounds. Talk about a waste of productive time in the USA.
Considering that Congress has approved these actions we would have to do a lot of impeaching and removing.
Dogmatists The question that's never asked - or answered - is, "Are the charges true?" We can never get to "Are they impeachable?" if we don't get to, or past, "Are they true?" Of course, this iteration of American society stopped worrying about the truth, or began submitting every truth was either relative or unknowable, long ago.
Well, if he's serious about reason #2 we're going to have to come up with some way to impeach the entire UN. And a pre-emptive strike against Afghanistan? This guy's further gone in the head than Nelson Mandela. I'm really looking forward to seeing how whacked out John Ashcroft is in 30 years(not that he isn't completely insane right now or that I hope he's still around then).

How can you, hunched over your keyboard in wherever-the-fuck-McCrackens-come-from, know that, for example, this point is or is not true? To clarify, not "how can you know - or not know - what you've been told by the mass media," but, to reiterate, "how can YOU know whether or not this point is true?" Unless you are possessed of better first-hand information than Ramsey Clark, your Washington Times/Fox News/Bill O'Reilly analysis of this or anything else pales in comparison to those who walk and have walked the corridors of power (although, given what you post most of the time, you damn well might be a White House advisor). I'm certainly not saying that most or all of what Ramsey submits I necessarily believe one way or another, but your vetting process regarding authentic information, in a word, sucks.
Only Article 6 would even theoretically stand a chance, in the laughable case that Congress ever got around to this. Nothing about Enron or Halliburton?
Re: Re: Re: Dogmatists Dude, the sensible liberals around here have wisely chosen to distance themselves from the Ramsey tripe. You, on the other hand, have chosen to lend credence to the charges, thereby aligning yourself forever (willingly, I might add) with the far out, wacky, kook movement. What next, an endorsement for Al Sharpton? Good thing the illicit drugs you consume will effectively take you out of the gene pool.
Along with Mandela, this is another guy who has gotten a few more screws loose in his head as he has gotten older...
Re: Re: Ex-attorney general starts Impeach Bush online petition Considering we're getting being led into World War III behind a low-watt, high-octane rich boy who has been a failure at everything he's tried (including the presidency) as well as his well-connected, on-the-take advisers, and a bunch of blue-suited Dartmouth Review-type acolytes who think they're on a Mission from God because they've read the "Left Behind" series, I say we could use a couple hundred million more people with such head injuries. Preach on, Brother Ramsey
