Drinking Liberally in New Milford: The World Terror Alert Just Skyrocketed

The World Terror Alert Just Skyrocketed

That day may come sooner than he thinks:

“Eighteen months from today, a new president takes the oath of office.” White House Deputy Chief of Staff Joel Kaplan insists that this milestone is “just another day.”

Meanwhile back on the ranch:

“President Bush will undergo a routine colonoscopy Saturday, and will transfer power to Vice President Dick Cheney during the procedure, expected to take about two and a half hours, the chief White House spokesman said.”

The terror alert for the entire world skyrocketed to maximum as one of the most criminal of all of the White House administration members, and one of the most ardent supporters of the warmongering neocon ideology, takes charge of the military. The military cheney desperately wants to unleash on Iran in order to ensure the continued failed policies of the neocons into the distant future.

If this isn't alarming enough to set the impeachment gears into motion, on overdrive, then God help this country.

Just think about this: The President of the United States is now the MOST UNPOPULAR PRESIDENT in the history of the nation, eclipsing bushies previous low-lites by about 20%.

• Bush now has had both the highest approval rating in Gallup's history -- 90% in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks -- and one of the lowest. Among modern presidents, only Richard Nixon, Harry Truman and Jimmy Carter ever had a lower rating.

Pollster.com, writing before the approval number was released, was just about dead right about what it would be: "We should expect Gallup to fall between 29% and 31%, given current trends and Gallup's typical house effect," Charles Franklin wrote at the site yesterday. The "trend" in polling puts the president's approval rating at 27.9% if you look at a cross-section of surveys, he says.

How does that compare where both bush and cheney are at?

Does the conventional wisdom that impeachment would be politically radioactive still hold true in the post-Libby commutation political world? A new poll from American Research Group shows a startling result: The people are evenly divided on impeachment proceedings against the president, and a majority favor the House beginning impeachment proceedings against Vice President Cheney.

Among independents, 50% favor starting impeachment proceedings against President Bush, to only 30% opposed. And 51% of independents are also for starting impeachment proceedings against Dick Cheney, to 29% opposed.

Where does this leave us?

We really need to take action, before some other country gets illegally invaded or bombed.

It's not like there isn't enough evidence to impeach them both!
