The Heartland Progressive Progressive Profiles The Michigan Progressive Shadow Pete

KIETH OLBERMANN;
"The best anchor on the best cable news program on the air today !"

MSNBC weeknights at 8pm Eastern. Keith gives balance to the corporate right slanted news programming of MSNBC and Fox News.

It is the position of The Heartland Progressive that the Impeachment of George W. Bush should be raised to the level of a National Priority. George W. Bush has disgraced the image of America in the eyes of the world.

Through his repeated and blatant violations of the "rule of law", and the Constitution, he has put our Liberty and our very Democracy at grave risk. George W Bush is personally responsible for the needless deaths of uncounted 10's of thousands of people in Iraq and the greater Middle East. He has cost nearly 3000 of our Sons and Daughters, serving in the military, their lives. He has put us, our children, and our grandchildren deeply in debt. It will take generations to pay off the trillion dollars or more that this ill-conceived, illegal, and immoral "War of choice" that he has waged, not in our name, but in the name of corporate profiteering and oil.

IT IS A MORAL IMPERATIVE THAT HE BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE !

GOP the party of bigotry?

Is the Republican Party the party of bigotry or is there something about the ideology of the party that attracts large numbers of bigots into their tent? Whether the subject of the bigotry is race, religion, national origin, sexual orientation or any other criteria you choose, many members of the GOP seem to think that they are morally superior to others.

Left to right:

Stephen Laffey- Currently the Mayor of Cranston, RI is seeking the Republican nomination in the Rhode Island primary to replace Sen. Lincoln Chaffee.
Mel Gibson- Writer, director and movie star.
Trent Lott- Long time Republican Senator from Mississippi and former Senate Majority Leader.
George Allen- Currently the Republican Senator from Virginia and running for President in 2008.
Conrad Burns- Currently the Republican Senator from Montana.
Rick Santorum- Currently the Republican Senator from Pennsylvania.
Katherine Harris- Currently a congresswoman from Florida and running for Senate in Florida. As the Seceratary of State in Florida during the 2000 election she was a key player in the theft of the 2000 election by George W. Bush.

All of these people and many other Republicans not included on this short list have made bigotted remarks lately that make a lot of us scratch our heads in dismay...
