Breaking News: Bush OKAYED leaking Information. Scooter Libby states in court documents that BUSH himself was the progenitor behind his leak of sensitive Iraq information.

Two words: Karl. Rove.

I like the bipartisan compromise on immigration - the upshot of it is, that there's 11 Million illegals in the US.

Labor will be happy that the scabs will be sent home, there will be tougher measures in place to hunt down the ones that have been here less than 2 years. Those who headed into town to give birth to their baby in a US hospital, will be turned back if we can. This is a tough situation for some people, but the situation is truly out of control.

But those Latinos who are really changing America anyway - the ones who are bringing tasty burritos and pinatas and even cinco de mayo to become part of our country - the hardworking folks who are up there on the roofs, the ones who are doing all kinds of good work - they who are here for more than 5 years, will be given legal status. This is huge. This means that Labor can approach, and potentially organize them. This also means that the cheap labor that farmers have come to rely on, can stay. Of course, people will have to be paid minimum wage and there are some who say it can't be done but I say, the devil take someone who can't raise their prices to pay their workers 20k per year
to work 60 hours a week hard labor. We're America.

Something Dean said , I thought was really interesting - because I am a fiscal conservative - he said, "We found that (if you pay them a decent wage) they'll go into the center of town and spend part of it."

That is very true. The economy needs people who are not afraid to be on the lower rungs of the ladder, and who can spend without fear of being tracked by their credit card or hunted down with dogs. The economy will get a big boost from what might be 5 million folks suddenly being granted status.

There is government revenue here, as well. Licenses. Fees. All that they will all pay. There is a different mindset. Kids in school go home, to a different language - they struggle to keep up. A person unafraid of being deported might relax, and try to learn some of the language. Scores will go up.

This is a good deal.

Am I wrong?

There are four reasons to impeach George W. Bush - as much fun as party engineering can be, our responsibility as American citizens is to call for impeachment. As I read it, the four reasons directly imply the involvement of George W. Bush, and Dick Cheney.

The reason for this diary: Clearly, Dick Cheney is involved - he helped bring us to invasion of an innocent (not virgin, but innocent) country and was the mastermind behind the destruction of thousands of american lives.  He has been a shotgun blast to the face of lady liberty. The question..

Can America Impeach, both the sitting President AND the Vice President at the same time?

Today, A die-hard republican and key member of the Richard Nixon Administration called for his party to support the Feingold Bush Censure resolution..

http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/03/31/s enate.censure.ap/index.html

This member of the white house staff is a man named John Dean. Dean was a party to the White House/ Watergate scandal and saw America come apart at the seams over the impeachment proceedings of a president.

His message is simple - he is urging the Senate to support, and act upon a Censure resolution that does, what the original moveon.org censure resolution wanted to do: avert the disruption of an entire country by showing the world that America can recognize bad government, and effectively admonish those responsible.

The conservatives are our friends: they are the ones who are working for more effecient government. What bush has created, is far from a conservative  government - it is a bizarre, evangelical, ultimately - a fascist state-planning commitee whose use of unbridled force in the world has tagged america with a 200 billion dollar a year albatross around her neck; as Colin Powell said - the "Effing crazies are in charge".

Democrats are conservative - they are well aware of Katrina excess, of all the lobbying going on that has resulted in environmental catastrophe and unheard of government ineffeciency so profound the first attack on American soil has been suffered in nearly 170 years of history.  They seek lowest cost solutions to such problems as Iraq, Iran, North Korea, Afghanistan, and Al Qaeda - not only that, they seek better solutions - they are hardly the free spending, evangelicals that are now in power. A bush republican, is not a republican.

Dean Democrats are people who can balance budgets, and fight for what is right.  This is another Dean, one who served his country well - speaking up for what we all know to be true: President George W. Bush deserves Censure, from the American people - his legacy must be marked by some accountability for his actions.

Should he ignore the censure resolution in a signing statement, it would galvanize the entire American spectrum for a radical change in government. Dean knows what he's talking about.

And Dean, the Dem, knows what to do, when America is ready for direct action. Thats what the Russ Feingold supporters are saying: lets stop talking and get something done.

If the person standing next to you claims to be a conservative, and supports bush, then you know you've met the enemy. What you're seeing here, is a great republican - a true conservative finally standing up and saying enough is enough: America needs to stop the wild ride of George W. Bush now, or it will cost us millions later.

Support Dean. Support - .. Dean.

We've heard of the Natalie Holloway case, I take it - a young girl that disappeared in Aruba during her graduation party. The very vocal attempts by the family, to accuse without trial a young man who was at the scene and saw her last..?

Alright, CNN - just ran a story today about it. Just For fun, what is wrong with the story?

Hint: think about sources.

Afghanistan has a member of the Islamic faith, now on trial for converting to christianity.  There are the wingnuts, that got us all into this mess, saying this is a bad thing. And then, there are those of us out there that couldn't think their way out of a paper bag over their head - that are bemoaning the fate, that Afghanistan is turning back into turmoil.

In fact, this is a very good thing.

Afghanistan has seen alot of change. There has been cell service implemented all over the country, quickly. The taliban are largely history. They've driven out Al Qaeda (file under real enemy of the United States, subfile "actual enemy location" please).

And finally, ultimately, they are still an economy driven by heroin, with an oil industry consultant at the head of government.

Really try to get into their minds. For us, we have the founding fathers - when it comes to government, we look to Thomas Jefferson, George Washington (a +good+ commander in chief ..), Ben Franklin.

Men that formed and shaped our constitution, and our way of life. But for the Afghani, its all about the Prophet Mohammed. Visualize what you think about Thomas Jefferson "behind every strong government lies a strong economy", or "the government that governs the best is that which governs the least".

Or George "you may call me Mr. president" Washington. Ben "super ace diplomat" Franklin.

Alright so now we have Mohammed "kill anyone who converts to christianity" Prophet of Allah.

It is a public trial, in a stabilized democracy, run by their own people who voted them into power (purple fingers rule!).

It will be done carefully - and in all likelihood the poor fellw will get off, with maybe a public beheading with a blunt sword, or maybe even less. Maybe they'll just flog him.

Its not ours to question, whether, just because you want to have gay married terrorists all over the place, you, as a liberal, want to have this guy taken out and shot just because he's an evangelical christian. You could do that, and sit there smug and sectarian, in the stands, with your thumbs turned down - and feed this christian to the lions, no questions asked. Because you live in a democracy.

Afghanistan is confronting, in a peaceful, civilized, and  to us, deeply unsettling way - the growing pains of becoming a modern country. The ancient Koran is a great book, and you must trust god.  That is all that can be said.

In the world of men, however, carrying out god's law, always means a humble servant of god must do the work - it is never entrusted simply to the lord, that whatever policies are out there, are the right ones - whether you're trying to start social change by politics, or reverse it - what Afghanistan is saying is that a court of men will now decide what to do. And that is a good thing. Remember, the words of the prophet Mohammed were won with wars drenched in blood. His black tomb sits in mecca. They could rise up as if the wars, were his message..

But instead, now.. we hear the sound... of silence..

Harry Reid :" I commend Senator Feingold for bringing the issue of the President's illegal wiretap of American citizens  to the attention of the American people."

Is this correct? Give 'em hell, Harry!
Go Feingold! President Bush is at ALL TIME LOWS, simply because he's just like Tom Delay and Jack Abramoff and the American people are finally figuring it all out.

Senator Russ Feingold is calling for the Senate to Censure George W. Bush - this was in fact the senate procedure that started Moveon.org, a move to censure a president - to openly force a president to review his or her own policy.

America is under attack by people who would attack our ports, our cities, and our country - their goal is to disrupt our economy and to make off with what of our constitution, defines us as who we are.

To say that giving up your right to your own privacy, that is, to say what you want to say without fear of the government recording you or otherwise horning in on the conversation - is to ignore why we founded this country.

Does Russ Feingold have the right stuff? I say yes. This is the right move, at the right time. President Bush is at an all time low, because America has finally awakened to what alot of us already know.  You may not be familiar with Russ Feingolds record of speaking truth to power but certainly you have noticed feingold-mccain reforms, and the recent pin-back of the patriot act - all of which have scored major wins for American citizens beleaguered by government corruption and waste.

Would Censuring George W. Bush, be something you could support?
Will this succeed?
