President Nader?

Consider this scenario: a little door of evidence opens up the whole wide-ranging scandal of the Bush administration, going way back to ex-CIA President Bush Snr and the secretive fascist cadre that has taken control of the USA. But fellow Bonesman Kerry is caught up in the scandal, which breaks just a few weeks before the November elections. Who do you vote for?

Independent candidate Ralph Nader says Bush Should Be Impeached:

"Ralph Nader, the independent candidate for president, has condemned President George W. Bush as a 'messianic militarist' who should be impeached for having pushed the nation into a war in Iraq 'based on false pretenses.'

Bush's actions 'rise to the level of high crimes and misdemeanors,' Nader said in a speech Monday to the Council on Foreign Relations in Manhattan, employing the language in the U.S. Constitution that provides the grounds for removal of a president.

He said Bush had exceeded his authority in the face of widespread opposition at home and abroad. 'The founding fathers did not want the declaration of war put in the hands of one man,' he said, contending that U.S. foreign policy goals are being hindered because the president tends to 'talk like an out-of-control West Texas sheriff.'

He criticized a resolution introduced by the United States and Britain in the United Nations on Monday that would support a sovereign interim Iraqi government to take office by June 30. The White House had little credibility in making the proposal, he said, because the Bush administration plans to build military bases in Iraq.

'We are the sovereigns,' he said.

Nader, who in recent days has made conciliatory gestures toward the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, Senator John Kerry, made no direct reference to Kerry's position on Iraq, but made clear that he held a different view. Kerry has criticized the Bush administration's handling of the war, but has said the United States must retain and even increase its forces in Iraq while seeking more help from allies.

Nader also accused Bush of having exaggerated the threat of terrorism after the Sept. 11 attacks."
