WATCH "The Cafferty File":
Lassie vs. Cheney?.
Rep. Jerry Nadler says the actions of the Bush administration when it comes to NSA wiretapping are "worse than Watergate." Is he right?Yes, Jack, it is worse than Watergate. Some say impeachment would be bad for the country. Bush likes to talk about us "sending a bad message to..." NOT impeaching Bush and Cheney "sends a bad message" to the rest of the country, and especially to our young people. It's telling them it's o.k. to lie, deceive, and break the law, as long as you are an "important" person or have enough money to make it to an important position. Also, impeaching those scallywags would "send a good message" to the rest of the world: that Americans don't support his unethical behavior and don't let it go unpunished.

Of course it's worse. The main difference between the two administrations is that the Nixon gang knew what they were doing was wrong, which is why they covered it up. The Bush gang thinks they are right, and don't care about the Constitution.
-Jim, Savannah, Georgia Mr. Cafferty, hell yes it's worse, and the American public has itself to blame. Instead of finding a backbone and fighting for our rights after 9-11, the public says: We're afraid, protect us however you see fit Mr. President. I've fought for this country, as have millions of others over the years. There is no reason why, we should have one less right, than we did on 9-10-2001.
-RJ, Gainesville, MissouriIn a sense, Rep. Nadler is wrong. Both the Watergate break-in and Bush's wiretapping policies are EQUALLY reprehensible, impeachable and strike right at the heart of our Constitutional freedoms.
-Ed, East Canaan, PennsylvaniaWhat's it going to take to bring the Iraq war to an end? Americans need to rethink how and why they choose their government officials. This administration has created an atmosphere of fear in which any questioning of our foreign policy is deemed un-American... If we want the Iraq war to end, we need only use our votes to ensure that those in power find themselves out of job if they fail to represent our wishes.
-Ron, San Antonio, Texas
To end the Iraq war, it will take electing a Democratic president in 2008 or Ron Paul. Hopefully, then we can redeploy more troops to Afghanistan and finish the job there.
-Molly, San Diego, California
Easy. Admit the troops are overextended and bring back the draft. The war will be over within a month.
-LaurieIf the next president does not end this immoral and unethical war, it will take massive protests by the American people to force our government to end it.
