Representative Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, just finished reading on the House floor a 35-count impeachment resolution against President George W. Bush. Kucinich's lengthy and detailed indictment of this wayward president is the most thorough and powerful case made to date. He outlined a litany of high crimes and misdemeanors and showed without a shadow of a doubt that George W. Bush deserves to be impeached and removed from office. Kucinich made clear that Bush has violated his oath of office and his Constitutional duty that the laws be "faithfully executed."
Kucinich's impeachment resolution comes after the shocking revelations contained in the 107-page Senate Intelligence Committee's report that confirmed, once and for all, (and with the vote of two Republican Senators), that President Bush lied the American people into war. There can be no more dire and serious offense than a president lying to his fellow Americans on issues of war and peace. Bush should be impeached forthwith. The House Judiciary Committee should vote on the Kucinich resolution and split it up into Articles of Impeachment. All the committee needs is one Article to impeach Bush, Kucinich has provided dozens of potential Articles.
I've agreed all along with the Center for Constitutional Rights and other groups on the need to impeach Bush. It is not a "political" issue; it is a Constitutional issue. He must be impeached and removed from office even if the proceedings don't start until January. The Democrats chickened out on impeachment when they took the Congress in January 2007. That was the most disillusioning decision of the 110th Congress -- taking impeachment "off the table." It was also giving the Congress's consent to Bush's behavior.
People will scream about how impeachment might backfire on the election of 2008. But that was never the issue. The president is guilty of grave crimes against the republic and should be held accountable. He does not have to be found guilty in a court of law; impeachment has a different standard. Bush has committed crimes against the nation. There are 4,100 dead Americans and 500,000 to 1 million dead Iraqis as a result of his lies and deceit. The Scott McClellan book just drives home everything the Intelligence Committee uncovered. It is time for the truth! If Bush can keep the prospect of attacking Iran "on the table," then the Congress should keep impeachment on the table too.
Thank you Dennis Kucinich. You once again demonstrated that you are the most courageous and principled member of Congress.

He's such a tease!
That's not saying much!

In your dreams. Of course, if it were you leftists talking, you'd be calling this a "wet dream".
But I say go for it. Seriously. It'd be political suicide for the entire party, which I'd love to see. But it won't happen. The Dem leaders are not quite as out of touch with reality as you are.
And sadest of all is the news that Obama wants nothing to do with this effort....
I will vote for Obama in November, but...this distinguis

To say that some thing is ‘off the table’ is to imply ‘above the law’.

It is often said, that we deserve the government we get because we do not stand up and support those we believe in.
Mr. Kucinich read for three hours and 20 minutes this indictment
I called Mr. Kucinich’s office this morning and I thanked him for his unswerving service to the people. He is a man of principal and he and many others are trying to bring to light the truth about this war and have justice prevail.
