Completely disagree with impeachment of Bush...that's just sour grapes talking. What can you impeach him on? Remember, Congress gave Bush approval to do everything he did in Iraq. He used the best Intel he had available to him at the time. You have to have a reason that he violated the Constitution of the U.S. like what happened with Mr. Bill. Clinton deserved to be impeached and should have been found guilty and removed from office. Clinton clearly violated the Constitution.

I do not support Bush and I think that he was completely wrong in going to war in Iraq. What he did may have been illegal in that he attacked, without provocation, a sovereign nation, but he did so with the knowledge and consent of Congress.

Democrats need to vote now more than ever. If they do not then Americans will have to live with Hillary who is the worst of the worst. Cassina77 is probably more fit to be President than Billary. The U.S. needs a leader as President. The world body needs the U.S. to have a leader as President. I can’t see anything on the Republican side of the aisle other than Colin Powel. I was really starting to like Obama, but he is beginning to show leadership weakness. So far for me, it’s ‘none of the above’ but anyone else besides Clinton which would be a disaster for the U.S. and the world. It has nothing to do with her being a woman…it has everything to do with her not being a leader, not being qualified, and not being respected outside of the U.S. If it must be a woman…there are much better women in the U.S. capable of leading the strongest nation on the planet besides Bill’s wife.

It is not life that matters, but the journey.

Colin stated for the 1996 election that he wouldn`t run because he was concerned about safety for him and his family (Newsweek, circa April 2007).
I don`t know if Obama has asked for SS proteccion yet.

Don't worry, muslims don't need the SS for protection. You know how many there are in the World? ( not to mention - - those in the USA)

"You don't even seem to be aware of Doctor Ron Paul, and the fact that he is the only candidate from either party that puts America first, second, and third, and unlike the other candidates, Israel last."

Another one obsessed with Israel!

I am not obsessed with Israel. I just don't like the expropriating of people's homes, and farms, and the pure genocide that they are causing in their area, and the "way too much influence" they have on U.S. politicians.

expatriate, I choose not to respond to you. I have done so in the past and you respond by asking more questions or making up statements to defend yourself. I won’t respond to you further because you respect no one and think that you have all of the answers and all of the solutions. You listen only to your own voice. You don't answer questions...you only ask questions and then you so enjoy defaming and attacking other posters. Also, when I re-read your past diatribe's your comments like this one are seldom related to the ‘Post’ topic subject. In this post, you make what are probably a lot of valid comments that I cannot refute. Whether or not if they are correct or come from your imagination.

You have accused me of insulting you in the past which I will admit that I did. I never attacked you until you attacked me. The crap that you wrote the other day is crap simply put although most of it may have truth...Bush is no saint and I have always said so. But your opinionated research is completely comes from the comments of committed left wingers who hate Bush with a passion and like Hillary, Rosie, and Reid. These people will say anything at anytime to trash him more. There obsession is to destroy a person and not to build a strong nation.

Why not make derogatory remarks about a U.S. President who was impeached, who was found guilty of lying to the U.S. Congress while under oath, who obstructed justice and the truth, who also used the U.S. Constitution to line his bird cage (like many before him…both R & D), who sent U.S. troops into conflict without any knowledge of the repercussions of what he was doing. To that end many soldiers and innocent civilians were murdered as a result of his decision, who rape and abused several women, who like another Democratic President, laughingly used his office to have sex with his ‘constituents’, who has embarrassed his wife and most concerned Americans, violated his marriage vows…the vows of his sworn profession, and probably has violated many other vows and laws that do not suit his purpose, who was involved with drug use and possible drug movement through his state, and who is so deplorable to his own home state that he was disbarred from ever practicing law.

To your derogatory remarks about Bush…as I have said several times, I agree with much of what you say, but much of what you say is a one sided story made up by the ‘loyal’ opposition and cannot be proven. Bush is not a good President and has done little to advance the nature and reputation of the U.S. But, my uninformed and blindly biased friend, think for a moment, how many times has the U.S. been attacked by Islamic or other equally hated terrorists since 9/11? Or is your answer the same as Rosie O’Donnell.

Lastly, I wish you would choose another nickname. You are not an expatriate and have no knowledge of what an expat is or does. You are just another know it all American who enjoys defaming other people and calling them names so you can spill your venom. Maybe you should become a citizen of Iran. The stuff that you spill fits their government’s philosophy.

Why not focus on discussing the nation of Colombia and its many attributes and the struggle of many Colombians to make it through the day.

It is not life that matters, but the journey.

"Almost all of the U.S. politicians are taking bribes from Israel, ...colluding with the Mossad to destroy the World Trade Center buildings, and allowing Israel to commit genocide against the Palestinians."


Sounds pretty damn obsessed to me. Reminds me of the crap the Lyndon LaRouche cult followers spout perennially. Everyone has a right to their opinions, albeit totally misguided. But, it is sad in this day and age, with so much information available at one's fingertips, to find people prefer their convoluted conspiracy theories to reality. Hate seems to be forever popular.
