In the meantime, I don't know how much more the thinking people of this country will be able to stomach. I am in my advanced years, and I have never seen our country suffer such an outrage as this Administration. Sad to say, I don't think we know all that has gone on behind the walls of this White House. I am not calling for impeaching President George W. Bush, since removing him from...
