Republican Congressman Ron Paul says President Bush has
presided over a doctrine of violating the Constitution at every
turn and that he should be impeached - but that likely
Democratic efforts to do so will be in the interests of playing
politics and not the health of the nation.

During an interview with Alex Jones on the GCN Radio
network, Paul outlined the likely scenario as to how
impeachment proceedings would unfold.

"I'd be surprised if they win both - I think they're going to
win one body and if they win the House right now they do
not say they would have an impeachment but I think the
way that place operates I think they probably will make
every effort," said Paul.

"If they happened to have a ten or fifteen vote margin that
would be a political thing - it would be payback time."

Paul said that Bush should be impeached not under the
umbrella of partisan vengeance but for ceaselessly breaking
the laws of the land.

"I would have trouble arguing that he's been a Constitutional
President and once you violate the Constitution and be
proven to do that I think these people should be removed
from office."

Opining that the US had entered a period of "soft fascism,"
Paul noted that the legacy of the Bush administration has
been the total abandonment of Constitutional principles.

"Congress has generously ignored the Constitution while the
President flaunts it, the courts have ignored it and they get
in the business of legislating so there's no respect for the
rule of law." said Paul.

"When the Presidents signs all these bills and then adds
statements after saying I have no intention of following it -
he's in a way signing it and vetoing - so in his mind he's
vetoing a lot of bills, in our mind under the rule of law he
hasn't vetoed a thing."

Asked what the ultimate agenda was behind the American
Union and the push on behalf of the Bush administration to
homogenize the US with Mexico and Canada, Paul was clear
in his response.

"I think the goal is one world government - we have not
only the U.N. - we have the WTO, the IMF, the World Bank,
then we have all the subsidiaries like NAFTA and hemispheric
governments, highways coming in.""
