The terrorists are sending you great thanks

You know, over the last few years Mark has made an enormous number of posts all over the internet in total support of the Bush policy in Iraq and the middle east.

That he is willing to say what he is saying now should give you pause. And the fact that real Republican Congressmen - guys like Rohrabacher - are now mad enough to say intemperate things like this should give you even greater pause.

What's happening now is real life, not some people on the internet going crazy. The truth of this guy's policy towards our country and its borders is now obvious to even the casual political observer.

Criticism is required when someone does the wrong thing. It's not disloyalty. It's duty.

While I agree with almost everything you say, including Bush's behavior concerning the border borders on an impeachable offense, such an action would not be very practical.

Our President has proven himself to be what I initially feared. But I did vote for him twice, as the alternatives presented were ridculously odius.

But all the Republican tribe kool-aid drinkers will keep voting for Republicans because they must "work to change the party from the inside" and they are the "lesser of two evils".

Any honest Christian knows that you cannot change evil from the inside. And you never vote for evil no matter how small it is.

If everybody who says they vote for the lesser of two evils voted for a non-Rep/Dem candidate it would cause a revolution becauswe the non-R/D candiates would be getting over 30%.

Ross Perot shook up politics, and he was a terrible candidate.

The terrorists will not come to the US through the Mexican borders, they are not that stupid, it is too risky. The 9/11 terrorists did not sneak from the Mexican borders, they came here using legal visas. The terrorists will enter the US using legal visas, some are also Permanent Residents and some are already citizens. They will also come to the US using their EU, Australian, or Canadian passports where no visa is required to enter the US.

I hope so.

How can any American not impeach a man who is fighting to keep our border open AGAINST the law, and against the wishes of over 80% of US citizens.

Hey lunatic, we got your message the first time. You don't have to run around screaming it every chance you get.

People like you disgust me. The more times and the louder you scream the lie, the more you think you accomplish. Calling our President a coward is about as accurate as calling you reasonable, not an ounce of truth to it.

Yes, and we're being told - once again - in the next election, we will have to vote for the lesser of two evils. I'm sick of it. It's getting the country nowhere.

After hearing Rush's show yesterday I'm more convinced than ever that this whole affair is a travesty and these men are being offered up as scapegoats to appease someone. I don't know who or why but there's got to be a very scary reason for the DHS to lie to Congress and for the fedweral gov't to conduct a kangaroo court and convict these men like they did. This stinks.

They're being made an example of because they had this crazy idea that their job down there was to try and keep drug-dealing scum out of our country, and they were doing it a little too well.

This is an unmistakable message to every Border Patrol Agent on duty: don't get carried away, because you're just for show.

No one who really supports President Bush and the war in Iraq will call for impeaching the President over the beating of someone in jail.

Any talk of impeachment in this matter is a direct result of The President and his administration deliberately flaunting laws regarding illegal immigration and drug traffic. Impeachment hearings may be the only way to get to the bottom of who is responsible for this and why they have taken this position.

We know that any attempt to enforce restrictions against illegal entry across the southern border is opposed by this administration. The people doing this are in violation of their oath of office as well as the law. Anyone who has a suggestion as to how to solve this problem without impeachment should speak up now.

It is amazing to me how otherwise decent people can so easily lose their common sense bearings. It amazes me further that folks don't see how easily they are being manipulated by the left wing who are bound and determined to use this issue to further their own goals, which is most definitely NOT about closing the border.

It's become unreal. Any ideas on how to change it? I laughed at first, then I got mad...now I'm not sure what to do.

Tell me the gangs will do the same. The gangs are already killing and have killed more people than were killed on 911. There is a real disconnect by this president and I am terribly dismayed he doesn't defend our border and those who protect our border. I have cried over this, as much as I have cried over 911. I read every day about more and more illegals and the deaths illegals are causing, and I see people turning away while more Americans die.....and I don't know why.....so I cry.....

Too risky?? What do you mean?

One tenth of the Mexican population, many of them hopeless people are able to successfully penetrate the border. Why wouldn't Al Quieda or Hizbollah vermin who are highly trained be willing to do this.

Also, 9/11 was just one attack that they utilized the legal visas. We don't know what they are planning. Remember that they tend to plan these events for many years.

Wait for a thank you note from Bin Laden, Zawahiri, Ahmadinajad, Bachar Al Assad, and a host of other prominent terrorists.

I don't think its worth it to get all caught up in the samantics of a debate about impeachment. Its a red herring and a distraction because it will never happen. The real important thing is the issue itself about his reckless disregard of the border and disgusting screwing of those that pretect it, along with the calloboration with the very government that sends its millitary to attack our border!!

"Rohrabacher said he does not believe the agents received a fair trail, and he noted that three of the jurors said afterwards they were inclined to deliver a not guilty verdict but had been told by the jury foreman that the judge wanted them to "go along with majority.""

Maybe it's just me, but if some Jury Foreman had told me that, I would have had 2 responses. Neither one of them would he have cared to hear.

Being on a Jury is the most important duty that a person can do. Why are people so damned stupid about it.

Soldiers die! Bush cowers. Impeach him. Then get on with fighting the war gainst Islamofascism as if it threatens the survival of Western civilization. It does.

Can we also impeach Presidents Reagan and Bush 41 in absentia for not putting the Army on the border? Ever read "Holy War on the Home Front"? If it's Islamofascists you are concerned about, try the airports, since most have come in with passports. Why bother with a trek across the desert when you can ride first class?

But go ahead and continue the call for impeachment. It fits in pretty well with the left who also has the same goal as you.

But the real joke is that the calls for President Bush's impeachment is not for the current open borders, but for a border patrol agent who was beat up in jail.
