BUSH MUST GO!

Green Party members aren't the only people who wish George W. Bush would go away. As a former member of the Republican Party and an authentic sixties-era conservative, I join in that leftist party's call for impeachment of the President.

At the same time the U.S. Congress should vote to get out of Iraq, get out of the United Nations (which has been behind every war the U.S.A. has been engaged in since 1945) and should bring back all our servicemen and women serving overseas and return them to their constitutional role of protecting the United States.

United States foreign and economic policy no longer serves the best interests of Americans. Our budget deficits are hemorrhaging due to foreign aid and military excursions overseas and so-called "free trade" which has destroyed America's industrial base creating high unemployment for Americans. Better that we spend our tax money on our own people: take care of the homeless, the unemployed, and our infrastructure which is cracking at the seams.

Of course, it is unlikely George Bush could be replaced by anyone whose policies differ in any major way from those he is carrying out. The leadership of both parties (Democrat and Republican) has had identical agendas since the early 1900s, which include our insane involvement overseas, called for by our membership in the unconstitutional United Nations. Also, how can leading Democrats complain about the situation in Iraq and the Republicans' handling of it when they voted to let Bush take us to war in the first place? The vote in the Congress was not close; it was very lopsided, with only a handful of Democrats voting "no."

George Washington said it best: "Beware of foreign entanglements."
