What is the next step? Or do you just mean the vote of the Senate? You are free to check out the US system. I was just pointing out that a lot of people are screaming for impeachment under the misunderstanding that it means the person is automatically booted out of office. They aren't. They are if they are convicted, though. In the British parliamentary system the non confidence vote is done by the Parliament, not the people, and generally only happens when there is a minority government. So what's your point there? My point was in response to George Graves' comment that the people can vote "no confidence" to a sitting administration. The people don't do it. The opposition parties in Parliament do it. How do the people vote "no confidence" in an administration in the Westminster system other than throwing the administration's party out at the next scheduled election? Assuming the opposition party is in the minority in Parliament, they cannot vote "no confidence" without the votes of the majority party. -- ************* DAVE HATUNEN ) ************* * Tucson Arizona, out where the cacti grow * * My typos & mispellings are intentional copyright traps * |

However.. I can't take all the brainless Bush bashing or the '"gotta destroy humanity to save it"' global warming hoax.

He IS the worst president in US history (thereby knocking Jimmy Carter out of the cellar) and I'm ultra sorry that it turned out to be someone running on the Republican ticket who gets the "honor''. I believe that real Conservatives need to distance themselves from this administration and try to convince people that not all Conservatives are Republicans and not all Republicans are Bush Republicans. If we can't do that, then we run the risk of becoming a one-party system where only Democrats can get elected to anything. The result will be the end of the United States as a Republic. I can't agree on any of that. Even if somehow the current president is the 'worst in history' I don't see how that'll destroy entirely either of the parties in the long term. Right now sure, Bush may be very, very unpopular. Why? About a million reasons. Mostly he's out of the spotlight now, and will be that way until late 08. What this means in the short term is that no matter WHO the Republicans run in '08, he/she/it will lose and no mater who the Democrats run in '08 will win. Right now it looks like the Clinton Bitch will be our next president, but it wouldn't matter if Obama ran, he'd win, or any othe Democrat up to and including the drunken little murderer, Teddy Kennedy. In the long term, it looks like because of Bush's association with the Republican party, Republican gubernatorial candidates, state legislature candidates, House or Representatives candidates and senatorial candidates running on the Republican ticket, will, for at least the foreseeable future, have an uphill battle to win anything. I don't see how our system can work under those circumstances. I've had it up with you before, you need to fight within the Republican party for what you believe and then support the nominees. Except that I'm not a Republican, I'm a Conservative, and frankly, the Libertarian party, though by no means a perfect fit, seems to represent my political beliefs much more than the Republicans do. For some reason you seem to like to stand outside of things (Well, you like macs, so not surprising) but it's not good. Being a contrarian conservative is no better than being a michael moore style liberal. That hurts. There's very little I dislike more than I do Michael Moore. But the Republicans haven't represented me or those like me in decades. I don't see why I should support a party that does not have my interests as a citizen at heart. |

There is a vote of confidence in Parliament. If the ruling party loses the vote the leader approaches the Crown to dissolve Parliament and call a new election. Assuming the opposition party is in the minority in Parliament, they cannot vote "no confidence" without the votes of the majority party. The opposition is always a minority. If they were the majority they would be the government. It is a multi party system. When a single party fails to win more than half the seats it makes deals with other parties for their support. |

LOLOLOL You go back to oxyrush.. hmm First off, I've never EVER quoted Rush Limbaugh (I hope, google may come up with a quote or 2 in the last 12 years, ugh). OK, I'll buy that. I was going off your statement that I was a scripted "Liberal" paraphrasing And I was pointing out that the NeoCONS are completely on script 24/7. No matter how silly or ignorant. So I'm sorry I painted you with that broad brush. That makes me no better than the Neos. I don't care if you bash Rush, never listened much or got my ideas off his. I actually went to school and learned economics, that's my main reason for being a conservative. There is nothing wrong with being Conservative, at all!! A real Conservative would be good for the country. But the Bush Admin are as far from being Conservative as you can get. Frankly, this doesn't mean much. Bigger problems, and they aren't 'socializing medicine' if you know what I mean.. More like 'wow that's getting bright arrggghhh' One of my biggest beefs right now is the Health Insurance Crisis. My insurance premium is bleeding me dry, and I'm knock on wood, I actually did LOL healthy, and haven't spent a day in the hospital since I was a teenager from a racing accident. So Insurance is a big ole beef of mine. -- Ric Seyler Online Racing: RicSeyler GPL Handicap 6.35 http://www.pcola.gulf.net/~ricseyler remove -SPAM- from email address -------------------------------------- "Homer no function beer well without." - H.J.
