Mortensen interview

We interviewed Scotty Mortensen yesterday and I wanted to ask some questions of everyone out there. He said a few things that confused me.

"I believe that any President that would take us to war on outright lies should be impeached [and because] 60% of the people don't support the war"...when did popular opinion become the criteria for impeachment? I thought it was high crimes & misdemeanors...and the Senate already set the standard that perjury, obstruction of justice and witness tampering is not high enough. So when did popular opinion constitute "high crimes"? Oh yes, one of the other justifications for impeachment of George Bush was that Tom DeLay was indicted and thus this shows corruption within the White House.

Another claim he made was that socialized health care is a necessity because the Pharmaceuticals are unregulated. Can someone please explain this to me?

Really, I know the answers...those are partisan myths being spouted to create a false impression of reality thus the altered reality will support the positions that are held by the partisan.

Scotty is a nice guy...very energetic...but he is on the wrong side of most of his positions.
