It's one thing to be judgemental and biased in the way that faith oriented republicans can be, it's another to ignore facts that anyone can see.

There is enough information on who the man McCain really is to form an excellent idea of what he is like in terms of moral character. It's fine to have strong christian moral values and beliefs, but how can the history of a man who openly cheated on a wife who was in her darkest hour of need be ignored? The lowest common denominators of humanity would have stayed with a wife recovering from a devastating accident for a few years at least to give her a chance to make a mental and emotional comeback. He had children to think of, most guys unhappy in a marriage see the kids out before leaving their wife.

Add to that low academic standards and setting some sort of record with how many planes he crashed and you have a man that couldn't get hired by any large corporation based on his resume.

The objective world is shaking their heads wondering how this man can be described with honorable in the same sentence, being shot down and held as a prisoner does not insure any degree of moral character or integrity. This is a vile man in many many ways.

Bush has exposed himself to impeachment in a way that is so clear cut that it wouldn't take more than a week or two to make it happen. No investigation is needed, no prolonged hearings trying to determine exact proof on hard to prove intent behind actions, a simple question of did he infringe on the constitution in an impeachable manner.

Bush has repeatedly written signing notes to legislation that states that he will not inforce issues of legally legislated bills he does not agree with. Those are in writing and publicly spoken pledges that he will not uphold the constitution which is his primary responsibility and an impeachable offense.

The real capper is his refusal to comply with legislation duly enacted specifically to address his compliance, he stated he doesn't agree with it so he won't acknowledge it.

The impeachment hearing would involve the simple question did he infringe on specific constitutional oversights which is more than adequately displayed in public forums. Yes or no and there is no wiggle room, he either did or didn't, if he did there is no gray area of deciding to impeach or not.

The senate oversight committee is clearly advocating the need to uphold the constitution as being the responsibility of the house and senate, and speaking in no uncertain terms that it needs to do it's job. This issue is so cut and dried that there could be no opposing votes without spotlighting those who are not willing to uphold the constitution.

This rejection of executive privelege may be the beginning of the slope to forcing recognition of the black and white nature of the administration's disregard for the constitution, hopefully it is the start of a massive recall and accountability of bad government units. Call it a purge we desperately need, in another country heads would literally roll in an ensuing corruption clean-up.

I've had a negative feeling since the last election that the results were fraudulently tampered with, seemingly in several ways.

It seems more than reasonable to come up with a simple check and balance way to keep the integrity of the counts beyond question. Quite frankly this is too critical an issue to leave to computer systems and methods that can't be rechecked if need be.

One method would be to post a complete list of all the registered voters by voter number or an assigned code number for each person. This could be checked by whoever wanted to see how their personal vote was listed. The act of having a list with each vote visible to everyone would make a list that could be tallied and errors in a person's vote could be reported and corrected if some sort of vote application error seemed to have happened. The only error that could really be perpetrated on this system would be one of extra voters that don't check out being added into the system. This system would also account for lost precincts and whole areas errors of omission.

At the very least each voter polling location's total number of voters should be listed on a master list and the candidate totals should be recorded and published online for all to see so that complete totals can be correlated to a break down of polling places.

The system of computers and station voting equipment has cost hundreds of millions of dollars and has had a less than reliable or trustworthy performance history. It seems that this may be one case where a hard copy tally sheet may be in order. The cost of printed forms could be assessed for monetary cost versus computers and voting stations and the inherent accuracy and reliability would be there.

With this hard copy method a publicly listed polling place total by individual areas would be very hard to corrupt.

With the pressure on this race and what it means to the country in terms of changing a truly bad government regime, and in light of the boundless corruption exhibited by it, it doesn't make sense to allow that same system to pay any large corporation with bidless contracts to provide computer systems that are charged with a voting count.
