Unfounded accusations against presidents should be a felony
By Kaye Grogan

There needs to be a law passed where any person who disrespects the "Office of the Presidency" by making false accusations and spreading deliberate rumors about the president, should be charged with a felony or at the very least a high misdemeanor. President Bush has been falsely accused (with nothing concrete to back the accusations up), from being negligent in stopping the 9/11 attacks, to making up fraudulent reasons to go to war in Iraq.

All of the accusations against President Bush are of an offensive nature and so far, just vicious attacks for political gains. But what these political ant-Bush embattled Democratic political warriors can't seem to grasp. . . most people are now onto their destructive strategies, and have about had it with their whining and non-leadership approach. The Democrats would be wise to change the leaders working behind the scenes, because they are hindering their advancement, rather than helping their party. Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe should have taken his marbles and went home a long time ago. He doesn't know how to play fair. Not to mention, he's the one who started and fueled the AWOL rumor about President Bush concerning his tenure in the National Guard. McAulliffe should have been held accountable for starting this malicious rumor.

The Democratic party have probably written their own obituary, by not taking the bull by the horns and laying out a concrete plan to entice voters. Raising taxes have about run their course, and as someone brought out. . . pro-life Democrats are dwindling away. They are dwindling away about like an ice cube in 600 degree temperatures in Hades. Since the biggest majority of Americans are pro-life, this is and should be a disastrous platform for Democrats. Won't they ever learn? Apparently not.

The majority of the American people do not want leaders who cater to big businesses and special interest groups. Since many politicians seem to be making a career out of politics, term limits should be introduced on a national referendum and let the voters decide how long a term in congress should last. Politicians have a difficult time policing their own selves. Many get accustomed to their political ties and influence in Washington and become too astute to suit the mainstream and conservative population. Six to eight years is plenty of time for congressional members to serve in congress. If one has not made a positive impression or contributed in an advantageous way by then, they are not likely to.

When a 17 year old expresses the desire to kill the president and his family and blow up the White House in an email, this shows an unsettling trend that seems to be engulfing our society. Teaching political hatred seems to be gaining ground and should not be tolerated. But when young pliant teens see people such as Senator John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, and Richard Clarke, etc., administering dishonorable and ambidextrous motivational charges against the president, trying to make political headway and galvanize or provoke ant-Bush hatred, this is not healthy, and it could present a national security problem and could put the life of the president in jeopardy and great danger.
