Calling a committee to investigate the break in at the Watergate Hotel....
would only endanger the Constitution.

We would NEVER get enough Republican Senators to agree to impeach Richard Nixon.

That Sam Ervin guy is just grandstanding.

2. And documents that prove powerful officials funded global terror networks for decades
Edited on Wed Jul-30-08 01:52 PM by blm
must stay secret so those terror networks can finish the job the New World Order fascists have been paying for all these years.

That decision to protect the secrecy and privilege of Poppy Bush and his cronies by some powerful Dems in the 90s didn't hurt anyone, did it?

3. As usual, you hit the nail on the head...
Edited on Wed Jul-30-08 01:57 PM by Junkdrawer
We have morphed from Industrial Power to Imperial Power. The Imperialists and their trillions upon trillions of PetroDollars call the shots.

Congress ACTIVELY avoids any investigation that might expose the "necessary machinations in service of the Empire".

6. What you don't realize...

Bush Senior had turned against Nixon because Nixon wanted to bring about peace between mainland China and Taiwan, while the 'New World Order' (Bush Senior's term which he often used in speeches) wanted to keep it militarized. Nixon certainly deserved impeachment, but Republicans often seem to have ulterior motives.

7. Wodrow Wilson used the term too.
Just a little before Poppy Bush picked it up and made it his own.

9. and while we're at it, at some point we're going to have to actually investigate . . .
what really happened on 09-11-01 . . . that the "official" story remains the official story despite all of the evidence that events could not have unfolded as claimed is astounding to me and, I'm sure, to many others . . . this event has been used to justify illegal wars and unprecedented attacks on the Constitution, yet no one is asking the right questions or looking for the real answers . . .

9=11 was the seminal event in the early 21st century in this nation, yet the truth of what happened that day remains a secret guarded by those in power . . . it's time to find the truth, hold those responsible or complicit accountable, and ensure that nothing like this ever happens to this country again . . .

11. You mean back when the media actually did it's fucking job?
Look at Woodward and Bernstein now.

Republicans own the media and control the message now--they didn't back in 1974.
