Kucinich Calls For Bush Impeachment
Former Democratic presidential contender, Dennis Kucinich, has called for the impeachment of George W Bush claiming that the president set out to deceive the nation, and violated his oath of office with the Iraq war.
The Ohio representative yesterday introduced 35 articles of impeachment against Bush on the floor of the US House of Representatives.
Kucinich unveiled a list of alleged illegal and improper acts by Bush, including war crimes.
He accused Bush executing a "calculated and wide-ranging strategy" to deceive citizens and Congress into believing that Iraq posed an imminent threat to the United States.
He went on to say that Bush and Cheney lied to Congress and the American public about the reasons for invading Iraq in 2003 and abused their offices in order to conduct the "War on Terror" following the 9/11 attacks."Bush misled the American people and members of Congress to believe Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction so as to manufacture a false case for war. President George W. Bush, by such conduct, is guilty of an impeachable offense warranting removal from office," Kucinich said.
He has already introduced a similar impeachment resolution against Vice President Cheney.
Bob Fertik, President of Democrats.com, said: "We've waited seven years to find one Member of Congress brave enough to stand up for our Constitution, for which generations of Americans have fought and died.
"We are thrilled and honored that Dennis Kucinich has chosen to be that one genuine patriot.
"We congratulate him on his historic leadership, and pledge to do everything in our power to persuade Congress to adopt all 35 Articles and put George W Bush on trial before the Senate of the United States, exactly as the Founding Fathers wanted."
Speaker Nancy Pelosi stated that there will be no consideration of impeachment proceedings against Bush and said the idea was "off the table."

Show AllGreat job, Dennis! I watched the reading on C-span from 8-11 pm. Dennis's 35 points sounded like a convincing legal brief and, if presented to an impartial jury or a panel of judges (ones who have a respect for truth and Constitution) would undoubtedly convict Bush/Chaney on most of the 35 accounts of violating Constitution. It would be great if Nader/Gonzales and EVERYBODY else who wants to save America join their legal minds and do something (i.e. get the destroyers of American democracy) out of power BEFORE it is NOT too late.
If for nothing else, the 35 points may be useful for preventing a war with Iran and getting Obama serious about pulling out of Iraq AND Afganistan. Peace department is a MUST if USA is to survive)!
While the mass media will not give either Dennis or Nader time to educate ordinaty Americans, I am sure that Democratic and Republican party are noticing what is happening with America. While Democrats who have most of the power (such as Pelosi, Clinton and a few others) ignore Dennis and Nader, Obama is smart enough to listen. While his main goal is to get elected (so that we do not end up with McCain), Dennis and all the people of the good will need to keep the heat on Obams to get us out of Iraq and "democracy building" while we the people suffer and are being destroyed by the big boys in oil industry and financial future speculations. They are trully DESTROYING OUR future with their future commodities catch as catch can "unregulated" capitalism.
Slip those 35 articles of impeachment into the Congressional campaign fundraising envelopes, the ones THEY pay for.
I'm pleased to say that my earlier post was wrong.
Kucinich has done his homework well. See late posts in the other thread on the subject.
Never happen. The debased, sold out, and discredited Democrats are not about to impeach Bush. They have already said they are not going to impeach him no matter what he does. Off the table.
What did they do to Dick Cheny? Nothing. Why? Democrats apparently like Dick.
Thank God, Dennis has found a way (and it has not been easy), a way to get most of the impeachable offenses into the official Congressional Record, along with the evidence to support each offense. It will be there for historians to find.
I suspect he knows full well, impeachment proceedings are very unlikely to happen .... things have gone too far. The USA as such is finished.
Congratulations, Congressman! You have been my hero for a long time.
We need to impeach Bush even now, even this late. Doing so will keep him off balance; it will tie his hands in terms of attacking Iran. It might even intimidate him...
He's guilty of so much including war crimes. He must be impeached. Impeachment will slow the damage he has created.
It will certainly send a message to Cheney and others of the Administration that we, the people, are reclaiming our government. Don't we owe it to ourselves after all that has happened in our name, in the name of national security?

How can Pelosi possibly say this is "off the table?" It seemed almost reasonable when she said it two years ago, but now the case against Bush/Cheney has become so compelling that to dismiss it is a crime in itself.
If that's the price the Democratic politicians are willing to pay to get elected then they also betray America.
Salma,
Don't forget, Clinton WAS impeached. The House impeached him, and the Senate voted not to remove him from office.
Certainly Bill's impeachment will be discussed alongside Bush's non-impeachment as part of a narrative of our times -- the absolute domination of the political right in public affairs.
The right frames all the debates, makes all the moves, dictates all the policies and outcomes.
Even -- amazingly -- after the election of 2006. Can anyone prove that there was, in practice, a transfer of influence from right to left?
There is no more important business for Congress than to follow through with Impeachment proceedings against Bush and Cheney. Our country has been hi-jacked by corrupt neo-cons and it is is time for them to face the consequences of their actions. Please do everything possible to get these hearings on the floor - we the people DEMAND justice!
Sincerely,
Joe Long aka JOGOLO
When pigs fly.
I love this man. He is the one politician who lives what he believes and states. I wish the average American could see beneath his un-polished exterior. He is one politician that I trust.
Let's raise the question why Kucinich endorses the Democratic candidate for president when Nancy Polosi said that impeachment is off the table. If Kucinich wants to endorse George Bush for impeachment while endorsing the Democrats, that's wrong. He should have run as an independent presidential candidate right up to the finish line calling for the impeachment of Bush all the way. He's a coward, claiming to support brave initiatives but then caving into the demands of the Democrats. We should vote Kucinich out of office so that he is then free to run as an independent and speak his mind. Under the constraints of the Democrats he is worthless.
I love a guy who is not afraid of the Good Fight!

800-828-0498 : This is the number to show Dennis Kucinich that you support him.. That number reaches his office directly.
The other number Turce gave is already disconnected.
I too applaud Turce for going to D.C. today. Anyone who would criticize him or Dennis Kucinich is some kind of repug apologist!
IMPEACHMENT is THE ANSWER.
So are phone calls and showing up.
claudius June 10th, 2008 6:36 pm
"While Bush is on his farewell tour of Europe, I wonder if he will visit the Hague?"
Bush will probably not have time for the Hague, claudius, but I expect he will spend a few hours at the Torture Museum in Amsterdam.
Historians already are making note of the Congress's dirilection of sworn duty to conduct impeachment hearings when an elected official clearly violates the law (in the Bush Administration's case, many laws). The textbooks will include this theme (the theme already is appearing in recent Political Science texts). Last night Keith Olbermann invited Law Professor Jonathan Turley, an expert on Constitutional Law, to be on the show and Turley indicated even among legal circles, experts are baffled by this same point. A cornucopia of literature is emerging (if it is not censored and suppressed by the government), and hopefully this theme will be the subject of many good lectures and discussions in colleges and universities well into the future.
On another note, I applaud folks like Turce who will show up at the hearing on Capitol Hill and let the dirilects hear about their egregious mistakes, including lack of fulfillment of duty. Turce, stick it to them!
Chimpeach!
Oh, Dan Abrams did mention this last night on MSNBC and promised to come back and cover it after commercial breaks but when they returned, he didn't mention it again.
Pray for this man. These things passing themselves off as human beings are not to be trusted.
And remember, its never too late to do the right thing.
Also, if the Dems were halfway concerned with doing anything for us, Pelosi is standing in the way. She blocks anything and everything progressive to happen. God, I can't believe I was duped by her!
Hooray Dennis! Put Pelosi on trial with those other murderers. Most likely unsuccessful AT WHAT? Preventing war with Iran?
IMPEACHMENT NOW!!!

National Briefing | Washington
Kucinich Seeks to Impeach Bush
by the Associated Press
Representative Dennis J. Kucinich, Democrat of Ohio, defied his party leadership on Monday by calling for the impeachment of President Bush for starting the war in Iraq — but his move was not expected to go anywhere. Mr. Kucinich, a former presidential candidate, outlined his intention to propose more than two dozen charges against Mr. Bush on the floor of the House. He accused Mr. Bush of executing a "calculated and wide-ranging strategy" to deceive citizens and Congress into believing that Iraq posed an imminent threat to the United States. Speaker Nancy Pelosi has repeatedly said she opposes trying to remove Mr. Bush, calling such an effort divisive and most likely unsuccessful.
"Let's get a national campaign going to cleanse the House of the vermin that infect it" - Locust
That will fit right in with the "Bandana Movement" = where everyone who is not identified with the power-elite wears a bandana in solidarity - To show how many of us there are - and strike fear in these CRIMINALS (vermin).
Main Entry: ver·min
1 a: small common harmful or objectionable animals (as lice or fleas) that are difficult to control.
2: an offensive person.
We need a million person march in Washington, D.C.: A million people with bandanas and brooms! A person can dream..
Thank YOU, Dennis Kucinich! You are the first American leader since Paul Wellstone and also the few people that voted against the war, and Cindy Sheehan, that I have felt that THIS is true American leadership. Praises to you and your lovely wife. God Bless America.
Amen to Kucinich and amen to nearly every word of every comment here; I just wanted to add to the chorus. I have been especially pleased that this has received some mainstream coverage; and that just adjacent to the mainstream, Olbermann gave it 15 minutes of positive attention. As Olbermann pointed out, even if it goes nowhere, there is now a historic documentation of outrage, lest history judge us all complicit. As for the dems, as for Obama specifically, let's keep the chorus alive, let's make sure they can't avoid this forever.
Why are these articles not reason enough for impeachment ?
So why did we nearly impeach Bill Clinton (on a sex scandal)
seems to me we are more intersted in petty crimes than real crimes/treason
Mordechai Shiblikov wonders:
Who owns Pelosi? Really. its obvious she's bought-and-paid-for. what do they have on her?
***********
Probably her children and grandchildren--these people play dirty and don't care who they hurt. Your choices are to either play along (you will be amply rewarded), see your loved ones be slaughtrered, or become violent like them, and do unto them before they do unto you (except there are always more of them than there are of you).
The inability of Kucinich and like-minded Democrats to move this thing forward is going to be a very important story when historians sort out what went wrong in this period of our history.
The argument that we have one right-leaning Party in America is advanced considerably by the non-impeachment of Bush and Cheney.
"We have more important things to do."
"It's almost over."
"Better for the Party to wait it out."
All the arguments not to impeach are extremely weak when lined up with the reasons why it should be done.
If the people could initiate and carry out an impeachment, it would have happened already, I believe. Maybe the National Initiative for Democracy would be a way.
George Bush and others in the bush administration who have broken the law, require prosecution to the full extent of the law. Nothing less will do.
Kudos to Dennis. He has balls that clank. Do it and do it now! Sadly, it will never happen, the rest of his colleagues don't possess even a single set of testicles between them.
We are suffering from a lack of sufficient idealism. The Repugs and Dims wrote themselves off long ago. The sustainability of the Green's platform is good absent one plank, support for abortion. Abortion is not life enhancing.
It represents the Achilles Heel of the Greens. So I reluctantly have removed my support of the Greens. Not voting is a vote, a vote for life affirming increased idealism absent in all parties. We cannot go down the wrong road and expect to end up in a better place.
Clearly, when a criminal president cannot be removed, the Constitution is meaningless and lawlessness will prevail. So for now, I have written Washington "off the table."
Thanks, Dennis, at least we can go to the camps knowing there was at least one true American patriot on our side who stood up for the Constitution. Watch your back. These people have proven they make up the rules/laws as they go along, and have no concept of conscience, morality, or civilized rule of law. Don't expect an invitation to join the CFR (Council on Foreign Relations) any time soon since they are definitely the enemy camp to humanity. For the ill-informed here's why:

I watched 3 hours of Kucinich on C-Span on Monday night. What a great job he did in laying it all out. What a disappoint the news media isn't all over this major breaking news. I wonder what Obama's reaction will be, as well as Bush and others.
"of alleged illegal and improper acts".. Of alleged?
This is of course also indictment of our media on the lack of reporting on this story. The corporate medias bottom line of course comes before truth.
Thank you Mr. Kucinich for your continued dedication to truth and our constitution
I still have my "Kucinich: Strength Through Peace" bumper sticker on my car. Somebody at the college where I teach KEYED the whole back of the car, no doubt because of seeing such a foolish and unmanly slogan....
This media blackban on reporting the matter is a new lowpoint.
The senate report has literally criminal dirt on Bush. The public are behind impeachment big time. McClellan is going to testify. Conyers is mobilising the house sargeant of arms on nose-thumbing subpeona evaders.
Kucinich just laid down a royal flush down on a table piled with chips.
BUT IT IS N-O-T NEWSWORTHY.
YOU REALLY COULD NOT MAKE THIS UP.
Kucinich is a hero.

But face it, these calls for impeachment don't amount to much more than all the useless non-binding resolutions that the Democrats in Congress have been proposing since they gained control in January 2007.
I know your heart is in the right place, but then such is also the case with someone who sends a Hallmark card.
Give it a rest, do as good a job as is possible as you hopefully continue to represent your congressional district and above all, take good care of Elizabeth.
Who the fuck do you think you are? You infer drug abuse you condescend to an honestly decent man that loves the Constitution as much as myself and you have Balls to say something like that??? As a Vet that has had my Brother and Sister Active Duty Troops murdered by the Sociopath in Chief, Impeachment is the only answer. I am in my mid 50's mindfuck and you're incredibly overwhelming act of brilliant political
strategy when Impeachment is presented against the supposed leader of this country is to tell this great man to "take care of wifey and send a goddamn hallmark card? Drug abuse and false accusations to this effect against a person is not covered under the First Amendment, so I'll just phone the ACLU. Your moniker is indicative of an RC that is a woman-hater, anti-choice shameful ?person?. STFU unless you have workable solutions to an enormous egregious amount of Constitutionally illegal actions that was put into a coherant order in 35 Articles by Congressman Kucinich. When I am on the Hill today in a few hours I'll make sure to hand out copies of your posts to Dennis, Conyers and every Veteran of Peace I am with to show them the sheer ignorance and lack of interest by someone whom is old enough to behave in a manner that elevates your wisdom, that if not by now you've lacked this important quality it is indeed a tragedy for your family. Disturbed as you are I suggest committment, not to an issue, a home.
rumiluv, thank you for your kind words, I used to love Rum but it caused me to beat hell out of people so no drink for me anymore, 14 fucking, long dry years. According to the twit, I suppose I should start booting heroin because Dennis did good, huh?
Claudius:
I'm going to be thinking of Dubya visiting the Hague along with a company of marines and an armored Huey just in case. LOL all day long.

THE PEACEIMPEACH ITCH
Its not who owns Pelosi, its what she owns. And what a number of other government officials own. And what they own is stock in the numerous companies making billions off this occupation. When it ends, their retirement accounts go from leeps and bounds to a dwindle.
Kucinich's actions are too little too late. I won't say that is was just an intentional fluff without bite since he did bring the Cheney impeachment last year.
This could be two possible things, a calculated effort to bring some 'respectability' among progressives to the democratic party without really changing anything (since the impeachment will most likely fail and everybody, including Kucinich knows it)
or:
Kucinich is making a real attempt to at least get a record / vote in congress that there was some realization that crimes were committed by the president Bush, even though there won't be any impeachment. This would be a valid reason, because you have to do the right thing even if it won't succeed. I believe that there is less of a chance of this since Kucinch has always protected the democratic party first and foremost (ie- his withdrawal from the 2004 presidial race a few days before the democratic convention which effectively silenced the antiwar voice at the convention.)
Hopefully time will tell why Kucinich presented impeachment proceedings against George Bush.
Impeach Bush
Ralph Nader or Green Party for President, Cindy Sheehan for congress
Stand for peace.
A lone hero standing up against the cabal who betrayed democracy, freedom and justice.
I don't understand why Americans haven't been mass protesting against this travesty of an Administration, their reign of fear and deception?
Dennis' website was apparently hacked sometime after he introduced the articles. That says to me that he is getting to "them."
To folks who live near dennis, you might want to consider setting up a citizens protection of Dennis. As this proceeds, if it does, I think the Bushies will probably try to assassinate him. Remember Paul Wellstone. Remember government anthrax showing up at Patrick Leahy's office. Make no mistake about it, the Bushies are murderers. Dick Cheney has no compunction about ordering the death of, well, anyone.
Dennis...I support you and hope you will watch your back.
On another note, of course the corporate media is ignoring this story. I encourage people to email the editors of the NY Times, CNN, the Washington Post, etc., and to encourage your friends to do so. This is a moment when it is possible to create a groundswell.
Now, as this proceeds, if it does, do not be surprised if there is another "attack" as the Bushies have shown their willingness to use this tactic before. If you live in a city, watch your ass.
Dennis Kucinich speaks the truth, i only hope his voice is heard.
DJ KUCINICH SCRATCHES
THE PEACEIMPACH ITCH
Thank you Citizen 1 for saying what needed to be said. Its time to put the complicit democratic party down. Even if they were to listen to Kucinich now it would be to little to late. I would like to ask all of you what the democratic party has done or even tried to do for the American people in the last two years that would warrent our continued loyalty? Its time to think outside the two party system!

Dennis - you said you would and of course, you did. ALWAYS TRUE TO YOUR WORD! THANK YOU and be safe. And let us all know what everyone is saying on the hill!
Congratulations, kudos, and deep admiration to Dennis Kucinich and his supporters for this courageous and most freedom-loving act to make Law work.
It would be a huge mistake for Americans to permit the Second Shrubbery to leave with dignity, strut and Texas swagger, waving the satisfied smirk of goodbye as he departs the office he has betrayed and sullied, as if his tenure reflects some sort of triumph for anybody even the profiteers who aided and abetted him, and who deserve their own comeuppance.
The Shrub must be pruned of honor and office and taken away to face the international courts and real justice.

What a man, what a man, what a man, he's a mighty good man! Dennis Kucinich is TRULY da man! Even if it is not successful, we MUST impeach these bastards so that the record shows the truth of this disgusting, evil, hellbound misadministration!
Dennis- I wanted YOU for president. I can not even begin to get worked up about Obama because it should be YOU!!!!!
Well, unlike MSNBC, USA Today does have a current poll associated with their online article about DK's actions. The response is small but overwhelmingly in favor of impeachment. Click the link to go and vote!
RichM; Scathing. Those evil democrats!
Problems with Senator Wellstone too? Or is/was he another exception?
Yeah RichM; Wellstone was a Democrat, Kucinich, Obama. Gore, Maxine Walters I think.... For sure most Dems are lowly filth, but heh, Gore or Bush? War Criminal or Nobel Prize Laureate?
There are substantive differences. Teachers hired or fired. Torture and war or maybe not. Gutted civil rights
To Hope. I understand I think and try to feel your view, I'm just seeking a vehicle for chnge that is legal. Voting. What a concept.
Dennis is one of the few members of Congress who is actually doing what they swore an oath to do.
The rest would be turned out at election if our civic culture was based on truth and justice.
This one should be a no brainer. How can you not impeach Bush and Cheney? They have violated their oath of office and committed numerous crimes.
With a little courage on the part of House Democrats, this thing could work. Even though there are not enough Democrats in the Senate to remove Bush and Cheney, you may depend upon it that a number of Republicans will not politically throw themselves on a grenade to protect two unpopular lame chickenhawks. Once hearings have made the extent of Bush's and his co-conspirators' criminality common knowledge, public outrage will force them to convict.
These hearings will also lay the groundwork for criminal prosecutions, if issues of immunity are wisely handled (Ollie North got off because of immunity granted for his congressional testimony), for new legislation to prevent future abuses, and for the demise of neoconservatives and their evangelical water carriers as major political forces.
We shouldn't just sweep an ugly mountain of war crimes, abuses of power, fraud, destruction of evidence, manipulations of the Justice Department and other serious offenses under an already bulging rug. To restore the rule of law and the respect of the world, we must act decisively. Justice must be done, and be seen to be done.
The key to Kucinich's bravery and clarity is that he is a pacifist, a vegan and lives simply. Dennis lives what he believes. If anyone anywhere wants to join Dennis, establish peace in our time, heal human relations and the earth, then consider these three options of free will and the clarity they bring.
OBAMA not only WON'T "take up the fight" he is firmly on Pelosi's side! I'm sure Obama's people forced Wexler to change his mind about appearing with Keith Olbermann tonight.
OBAMA is an empty suit in a Democratic Party dream world. Watch CAREFULLY how this summer unfolds. He's already hired big money hack Jim Johnson to pick his VP options.
wow wow 5 hours long Read on Read on
NOOOOOO we wont settle for anything but impeachment ...we will see tomorrow
The Pelosians may not even ask for an honest vote, simply providing an "opportunity" to vote YEA to move it to Conyers' Judiciary file drawer. If that's the case, a YEA vote is a vote to kill the measure, while a NAY vote is a vote to, er, kill the measure. Frickin' cowards!
The classic way to build grudging acceptance of decisions by a new president it to cast him as the "far better than the former fellah" president. once the former president is booed at then the new guy gets away with a new set of problematic behaviours and does not need to undo any of the old president's new powers- check out the star wars movies on this too.
IF Obama DONT TAKE UP THIS FIGHT WE WILL!!!
WHEN WILL THE ARTICLES BE PUBLISHED IN BOOK FORM, I WONDER?
INCLUDE THE NAMES WHO VOTED AND THEIR HOME ADDRESSES...
SOMETHING TO PASS ON TO FUTURE AMERICANS (IF THERE WILL BE ANY FUTURE AMERICANS...)
wow i went back TO MSNBC 89% WHOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HAAAAAAAAAAAA
Not only is the MSNBC poll on a tear now, the www.votetoimpeach.org poll is comfortably over a million signers! Stay tuned to C-SPAN tomorrow. Check for those who give floor speeches.
But MOST of all, keeping calling the House members! www.afterdowningstreet.org has the best form letter to use for emails.
Kucinich: The last of a great breed who has guts and who takes his oath of office seriously. The rest of the bunch are just hoods and takers, liars and thiefs and pelosi is a disgrace. Impeachment should have occurred years ago but alas, our Congress is full of Republicans and cowardly Demos. Nothing will come of this unless Obama takes up the fight.
wow that was GREAT what was it 85% Voted to IMPEACH?? YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
anyone where do we find the vote on this tomorrow???
The MSNBC poll is live. Watched it pass the 600,000 mark today. Find here http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10562904/ After that you can go to aol.com and take that poll but the most important thing to do is to call judiciary committee members tomorrow. Vote expected to send to committee, where Cheney impeachment resolution languishing now. Enough! also see www.afterdowningstreet.org to get energized and connected. Impeach for Peace.
turce, i don't care if your're on somethin' or not, you essentially speak the truth (i'm on cabernet, wish i was pscillocybin). You're essentially right!
.........NOW TOMORROW A VOTE ON THIS RESOLUTION....WHERE do we look for this?? CSPAN?? AND SOMETHING better be F**in done NOW! IN THIS CONGRESS OR WE WILL RAISE H**ll!!!
"Obama should consider Dennis as a VP."
Yeah, if he wants to be crucified by the corporate media. Would Dennis be allowed on a corporate network in a vice presidential debate?
All the same, thank you Dennis for doing the right thing. I just wish a few hundred more politicians in D.C. had a spine.
H EEEEYYYYYYYY WHAT A GREAT DAY !!!!!!! FOR AMERICANS !!!!!!!! YAHOOOOOOOO HOOORAYYYY HOOOOOORAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH IMPEACH IMPEACH IMPEACH!!!!!!!!! OMG IM SOOOOOOO HAPPPY !!!!!!! GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY !!!!!!!!!!!HOOOOORAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
United Nations Sanctions Against America.
The world united against the United States is the only thing that stands any chance of stopping the menace we have become.
go dennis!
Some have courage and commitment for honesty and truth. Dennis Kucinich is one of these, maybe the only, in the House of Representatives. This I judge by listening to the noise and failure of the speaker to call for order. So will the House do anything? I wonder.
The media have completely ignored it.
The media lies often enough,but their most potent tool is how much coverage they will give to an event. 9/11 was something to put on the headlines every day for years. The impeachment proceedings, and anything else that exposes the truth is something to ignore completely. I suppose if there was to be a Nuremberg trials for this, then our media are all guilty.

"If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to report on it…(did it really happen?)"
Sadly, you are right. It is like nothing happened.
karlof1 and mo42,
unfortunately, the website says that poll is from 12/21/05 so this isn't a "live" poll at all. :(
but if they WERE doing a live poll today, i bet that percentage would be pretty darned close.
mo42,
can you give me a link for that msnbc.com poll?
i've looked all over the webiste and can't find a thing.
i even entered it in their seach engine and nothing.
Let's get this story out across the Internet!
A Yahoo News search on "Kucinich Impeachment" revealed that this story received very sparse notice in the corporate media. There was a very brief story on AP wire and Reuters that was picked up by CBS, a few daily newspapers including the Boston Globe and the LA Times, a few local TV stations, nasdaq (!) and Yahoo!News. There was a brief mention on FOX news, and one sentence in the St.Louis Post Dispatch. Missing entirely: ABC,NBC,CNN,MSNBC, PBS,NPR,BBC North America, aol news, msn news, and about 1000 other dailies.
It is fair to say that most Americans know nothing about this story and most of the rest know very little.
If you think it important to get this story out, and you're sick and tired of the media moguls deciding what news we can see, I suggest you send out a "News Chain Alert". A good brief article with a recognized brand name is the Politico story on the CBS website, or the Huffington Post story is good but a source that might inspire less trust in some.
Include "news chain alert, please forward" in the subject and the following introduction:
............................................................
"They must think we're mushrooms ... "
NEWS CHAIN ALERT: The following important news item received little or no coverage in the "Major Media". If you received this from someone you trust, open and read it and then, if you agree that it should have been "on the news" and you didn't see it there, please forward it to your address list.
**This news article doesn't necessarily reflect the opinions of the sender.**
I called Kucinich's office this morning. I told the nice lady who answer the phone how happy I was about what Kucinich did last night on C-SPAN…………….then like a fool I started crying while I was talking to her. She said she would make sure he got the message. I am such a weenie.
Kucinich brings out a sense of pride not normally associated with public figures at this time.
I don't think that impeaching and prosecuting Bush would solve the problem, however. I don't think he's the only one behind this. But one step at a time I guess.
An important event, a congressman enters a 35 point article of impeachment, yet the link that Common Dreams has to use was to an Irish newspaper, not to CNN, or ABC, or CBS, the Washington Post, or NYT.
Dennis, did you ever wonder why Congress has a lower approval rating than that alcoholic,drug abusing war time deserter and now war criminal George Bush? No? Its because Congress is full of pimps and whores who sold out America to the highest bidder.
Thanks Dennis !!!!!!!
You have made history by placing into the official record all the crimes of the Bush administration,both parties of congress and the the vantriliquists tha call themselves " THE MEDEA".
Thought it is difficult to imagine that those who were complicit in all the crimes that you have so ably innumerated would take any action,at least you have laid them out.
Those members of congress that do not support you are guilty of reneging on their oath of office and with the power that is incumbent of their office would be gui;ty of collaborating in war crimes and crimes against humanity !!!
Now Dennis it is time for you to take the brave step of resigning from the DEMOCRATIC PARTY as you have shown that you have nothing in common with them,there is no way you could possibly campaign for O-BOMB-EM !
Though I supported almost all of your positions I could not support you financially after your support ofKERRY in04
Turce (915pm)
What the hell are you on? You've got to be smoking, sniffing or injecting something.
Nancy Pelosi's audible sigh before she calls on Mr Kucinich to speak says it all. She is part of the problem.
I am tired of women who rise to power by embracing the language and values of the ruling patriarchy.
Mr. Kucinich's courage made me proud and brought me to tears. I agree that he would be a good candidate for V P.
Or how about adding a Dept. of Peace to our gov't ? We have a Dept of War. Why not Peace?
I was mad crazy last night on this sight, it was @ 12:40 am EST when Dennis finished. I could not comprehend why there was no one even talking @ this, at least my VFP Prez was emailing me and we were going back and forth. I started watching Dennis @ 7:15 pm EST, Permission to move to the floor...Resolution:Impeachment against President George W. Bush for High Crimes and Misdemeanors....and he kept going, each Article was backed by well documented evidence, meetings and more. So Dennis finishes and the last man in the room, of course the House split by like 7:30, whomever he was starting reading, blah, blah and I forget the 4 members of Congress the dude said had the right to withdra the Resolution because he violated the 5 minute rule, Dennis says he has Lynn Woosley and 3 other names. So for 35 backed up examples of the Murderer in Chief and his evil cohorts with the 35 Articles of Impeachment, they say you violated the five minute fucking rule????? I called the House for 4 hours this morning. When I called Pelosi, 'cos her piss ant intern Xfers you pronto to mdm. Speaker Bitch's voice mail, I'm screaming, "Don't, you better not trans, don't do it I am not kid..Xfer to voice mail, left her a great one. I'll be on the Hill tomorrow anyway, Conyers hearing w/McClellan with the Judiciary, I'll make a few pitstops if I'm in Rayburn.
If anyone does want to call here's 2 toll frees the 6 others have been disconnected, s'pose they forgot to pay the bill again?
800-828-0498
800-459-1887
Lynn Woolsey, Barbara Lee, Maxine Waters, Shiela Jackson-Lee, Marcy Kaptur are all great Advocates that wield power call them. Conyers, Wexler, your Rep. and MotherBitchAss Pelosi. I keep hearing @ Dennis when he brought this against cheney. He brought the Impeachment for bush up before as well, the day before he threw in the towel for the Presidency, he had to withdraw immediately 'cos he didn't have permission to take the floor.
Article.X. Falsifying Accounts of US Troop Deaths and Injuries for Political Purposes. Fucking murderer.
Articles XXI and XXII IRAN
Shit, Article VII Invading Iraq Absent a Declaration of War.
So is it NOW an Illegal Occupation??????
