in case you didn’t realise it china & the ussr were not communist. There has never been a communist country ever. You are thinking of a socialist dictatorship

Nope, it’s not french. Go to school, you racist ignorant red-neck !

You want Osama Bin Laden to be found and juged, too, I think ?

So we have the same policy ! (Ned Lamont and Osama Bon laden have the same policy because they both want American soldiers out of Irak)

I’m atheist, communist (but I don’t like the Chinese policy and the policy back in the USSR).

As we have the same policy, does that mean you are atheist and communist ? No.

The first time I heard of Ned Lamont is on this site, a few minutes ago, so I don’t know if he is really in league with the terrorists. But I know there are flaws in your argumentation.

Please correct those.

Here’s the thing: None of this means very much. People don’t vote Democratic and Republican slates of candidates. They don’t choose between generic Republicans and generic Democrats. They choose between real people with flaws, quirks, and different positions on key issues that matter to the voters.

For a perfect example of how this plays out in the real world, take a look at this excerpt from an article at Betsy’s Page that was based on something written by the Mystery Pollster:

With no names mentioned, things do not look good for the Republican incumbents in these three districts.

Generic Ballot

NJ 07
D 45
R 44

PA 07
D 51
R 39

OH 01
D 47
R 44

So, if you just looked at the generic poll number for these three districts, you’d think that those incumbent Republicans congressman are in a lot of trouble. They may well be. But, look at how the numbers switch when the respondents are given the names of the candidates.

NJ 07
Linda Slender-D 41
Mike Ferguson-R 50

PA 07
Jo Sestak-D 41
Curt Weldon-R 51

OH 01
John Cranley-D 43
Steve Shabot-R 52

So, if these polls don’t matter, what does?

Approval ratings and multiple head to head match-ups of the candidates in a race based on registered, or even better, likely voters, not adults.

A single poll can often be wrong. The demographics used to compile it can be slanted and the margin of error can distort what’s happening as well. However, if you can take a look at the results of several head to head polls, in the period before the election, and see who’s ahead in a race and which way the numbers are trending, you can usually get a pretty good idea of what’s going on. But, generic data? Of course, you’d always rather have your guys running ahead rather than running behind, but whatever the case may be, you can look at those numbers all day long and it won’t give you an accurate picture of what’s going to happen at election time.

Well, that was an official poll executed by your government in every state of the USA. not in Germany. But here in Europe he would perhaps get 20%. And right now the Democrats would get, I?Ǭ¨?Ǭ•m again reffering to official polls made in your country, a majority of votes!

Oh, by the way. Did you read the news I posted. Seems like the outcry for impeachment is starting.

The German Guy

fucking blind idealist
your a neonazi of the worst kind, only you’ve got to find out yet!

I think you’re behind the times. He has an approval rating in the low 30′s. He’s the most popular president ever in your own head there buddy. If you dispute this, provide proof. Proof meaning an official website with current approval ratings. If you don’t provide this, we will all just assume that you know you’re lying and that you’re dishonest and going to hell, possibly in a handbasket, ha.

AND!! Lebanon is FREE. They love their government. Hezbollah is NOT their government. I know many Lebonese and they are among the nices people I know. NONE of them were ever members of Hezbollah. In fact, they were part of the christian coalition, which operates in Lebanon. Do us all a favor and actually READ something.

Luckuly George W Bush does not have to impress 33% or any percentage of Germans like you. In America, he remains one of the most popular presidents ever. Lamont has not been elected to the Senate, he is merely a candidate for the Democratic party, a party which has lost the faith of Americans because of their inability to support our soldiers and our allies in the war against terror.

San Francisco Puts Impeachment on the November Ballot

SAN FRANCISCO, CA — Four City San Francisco Supervisors have put their pens to a document that will allow the city’s 421,000 registered voters an up or down vote on the merits of impeaching both President George W. Bush and Vice President Richard B. Cheney this November 7th. The San Francisco Impeachment Ballot Initiative, like the Berkeley Impeachment Ballot Initiative approved on June 27th, 2006, was drafted in close coordination with Constitution Summer, a nonpartisan, national coalition of students at the nation’s law schools and universities. Champaign-Urbana, Illinois quietly approved the first municipal presidential impeachment initiative in American history on April 11th, 2006.

News of the San Francisco decision was withheld until today because Supervisor Chris Daly, who drafted the measure, was on vacation. In addition to Supervisor Daly, Supervisors Ross Mirkarimi, Tom Ammiano, and Jake McGoldrick signed the measure. Constitution Summer helped Supervisor Daly’s office select constitutionally grounded language based on the Articles of Impeachment Against George W. Bush, which was drawn up by the attorneys at the Center for Constitutional Rights. These articles include: the Bush Administration’s felonious disregard for the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978, which governs electronic surveillance in the United States; the initiation of an illegal war of aggression based on fraudulent claims; extraordinary rendition, indefinite detention, and torture; and an unconstitutional arrogation of power to the executive branch. In addition to these Articles, Supervisor Daly added the Bush Administration’s failure to adequately respond to the Hurricane Katrina disaster as a failure to faithfully execute the laws of the United States.

The Articles of Impeachment included in the San Francisco initiative, and with exception of the Katrina response issue, the rationale behind them, are available in a book entitled The Articles of Impeachment Against George W. Bush, published by Melville House Publishing. Melville House recently organized a series of national impeachment teach-ins based on the book, the largest of which was co-sponsored and organized by Constitution Summer. Constitution Summer’s teach-in was attended by hundreds of people, and the speakers included Center for Constitutional Rights Legal Director Bill Goodman, Constitution Summer Advisory Board Member Daniel Ellsberg, and Constitution Summer President Geoffrey King.

Of the San Francisco Impeachment Initiative, King says, “The President and Vice President claim that they are protecting American freedom by surveilling and disappearing anyone they please, including American citizens, by tricking the people and Congress of the United States into an unnecessary war, and by creating a massive torture bureaucracy. They claim that this behavior is lawful and constitutional, and that no other branch of government should be able to check their power. A chorus of millions of Americans is saying that the President and Vice President are wrong, and today, the City of San Francisco has complimented that chorus with an instrument of democracy, the direct referendum.”

Coincidentally, Supervisor Daly’s announcement of the San Francisco Impeachment Initiative coincides with the 32nd anniversary of the resignation of Richard M. Nixon. Dr. Daniel Ellsberg, a member of the Constitution Summer Advisory Board, leaked the now famous Pentagon Papers that the press ultimately used to reveal the impossibility of winning the war in Vietnam. President Nixon’s retaliation against Dr. Ellsberg led directly to Nixon’s resignation. Dr. Ellsberg said of Constitution Summer’s work:

“The young men and women of Constitution Summer are like the people under General Washington in Valley Forge. And General Washington’s ragtag group did win, incidentally.”

In addition to the San Francisco initiative, lobbyists Susie Shannon of Poverty Matters and Sophie de Vries of After Downing Street met with staff from Assemblymember Paul Koretz’s office in Sacramento, where Shannon and de Vries presented a petition with the names of thousands of Californians who support impeachment. Assemblymember Koretz is the author of the AJR39, a California-wide impeachment resolution that, if passed, would be transmitted to the House of Representatives via Rule 603 of Thomas Jefferson’s Rules of Parliamentary Procedure, which allows state legislatures to transmit articles of impeachment directly to the House of Representatives. Rule 603 has been invoked successfully before: in 1903, Florida District Judge Charles Swayne was impeached in a process that started in the Florida State Legislature. In addition to California, resolutions to impeach President Bush are pending in the state legislatures of Illinois and Vermont.

Anybody with a shred of common sense can see how abusrd the looser-crat’s cut’n'run policy is. Our president says that it is time to stay the course, and we agree.

Goodman is her name, ok. What kind of name is that. Is she a snobish brit????

See Shelley, you could tell something bad about every name.

Shelley said:
You know what, if people like LeMont get to power in, within this decade we have towellheads running around in the white house!

If you don?Ǭ¨?Ǭ•t get it, he has already made it into Senate. And your beloved GWB is on an alltime low. If today were elections, he would only get 33%!
