Kucinich is reading articles of impeachment on House floor
« on: June 09, 2008, 05:21:52 PM »
Kucinich has been on the floor of the House for about 2, maybe 2 and a half, hours right now reading 35 articles of impeachment against Bush.  He's around #22 right now.

I've been listening for about a half an hour.  Nothing really new coming up.

Personally I don't think it's going anywhere.

Mmm. I sort of like Dennis. I disagree with him on almost every point, but there's a noble quality to him.

Oh boo-hoo, Kucinich believes in UFOs. So did Goldwater. Doesn't make him crazy.

Yeah, but reading articles of impeachment on a second-term presidency scant months before the election ain't exactly a mark of sanity...  rolleyes

Does anybody think that Kucinich really thinks it'll go anywhere? He's likely trying to make some form of point.

Kucinich says he saw something that he didn't know what it was, hence it was an unidentified flying object.
He didnt say he saw aliens.

Btw, this totally wont go anywhere, and thats too bad.

I'm miffed at the Democrats too, this should have happened years ago.  This is just further proof that the system is disgustingly broken on both sides.

He's still going. I just flipped on C-SPAN and he's on article #34 now.  Obstructing investigations of 9/11.

There was zero notice on CNN and the other networks, online anyway, an hour ago.

isn't he worried about his credibility/viability? rolleyes
It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

Pelosi has already stated impeachment isn't an option and he chose to do it when no one else was in the chamber.

He just wants to continue his "0-innumerable" streak of resolutions being ignored.

It doesn't matter either way.

  Impeach Bush? Hah. I wish the link was still there, but I saw him on Memri TV awhile back, in Syria, talking to the honcho thare. It was digusting. It sounded like "Beat me, give me a wedgie, take my lunch, and then you will like us? Please?" Impeach Kucinich. And Pelosi. and Reid. For starters. Have they never heard of the Logan Act, giveing aid and comfort to the enemy in a time of war?

The logan act is an unconstitutional joke, beaten only by the Alien and Sedition acts.
Now I agree with you that Kucinich and Pelosi and espically Reid should be impeached, but probably not for the same reasons you do.  Mine have more to do with abandonment of duties and oversight.

I still see the driving force as party payback ... I think Clinton is the only President in our entire history to be impeached, and he was a liar ... so now there is a need to turn the table and call Bush a liar and impeach him, the old "republicans do it too" excuse ... I have a feeling that no matter what Republican was in office, and no matter what he did, that there would be a bunch of democrats saying that he lied and he must be impeached. But no, it ain't happening ... in fact, the title of this thread was the first good laugh I've had today.

Andrew Johnson.

As for Kucinich, the first time I saw him was a couple of election cycles ago when I came upon a debate as I was flipping channels. He was making some point, and, as the Almighty is my witness, I though he was the Socialist Worker's Party candidate from what he was saying.

Imagine my bemusement when I found out he'd already been elected to Congress in Ohio.  shocked

What about how the Logan Act should apply to Carter?

What aid and comfort has he given and to whom?

Besides, the Logan Act, as Nitrogen existed, shouldn't exist.

His wife told him to do it and he does what she tells him.

Bush won't be impeached, but a President Obama might well be.  There's impeachment in the air, the result of too many betrayals by too many people over the years.
