BTW Obama is not qualified either.
Yes he is, in fact intellectually he's more qualified that McCain. On the other hand intellectually Palin isn't qualified for anything more than a local Dog Catcher.

And, if she won the dog catcher race, she would delegate the actual work so she could be at home.

obama has so much more potential than any of the other contestants that it's intellectually dishonest to state otherwise or else the observer is a dolt.

Which is important since we have seen the growth of the Unitary President and the stacking of the Supreme Court with judges who are very friendly to the Unitary President concept, and may just be a judge away from a radical restructuring of the American government.
What if McCain decides to invade Iran, for instance. And Congress votes to stop him by cutting off money, etc. And McCain says he can use any money appropriated by Congress for any reason he sees fit (the basic concept of the Unitary President).
Would we impeach McCain knowing Caribou Barbie will be President?
Yes, mccain would have to be removed if he was found guilty of something illegal. There would be no choice if we are to continue to be a nation of laws. We don't decide to not remove a mafia boss because his successor might be worse.
GWB&Co + executive privilege say otherwise.

Although they should drawn and quartered for general principles, I don't know of any clear, specific laws that have been broken. Doesn't mean there aren't any, I just don't know of any.

I was referring to warrantless wiretaping.

If this is solid, then I would think it would be pursued.

Lies and FUD, just like the republican campaign :|

Let me tell you one thing, there's people who don't read MSM news in the blue states and theres people who don't read MSM news in the red states, and they both worship an awesome poster - TECHS, the news bringer.

Only guessing since I haven't had the occasion to meet profjohn, but I'd guess that he's a very bright person. This is what makes him dangerous.
