Undeterred, Kucinich to introduce another impeachment article

[MiaCulpa]

Source: Raw Story -- Nick Juliano

Resolution to be read by Clerk of House

Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) will formally introduce another article of impeachment against President Bush Tuesday as House leaders indicate they're willing to convene a hearing to consider the Ohio Democrat's arguments.

Kucinich will move for a vote on a privileged resolution Tuesday, which likely will result in the impeachment article being referred to the Judiciary Committee. The lawmaker warned he would keep coming back with the resolution if the House voted to dismiss it.

1. I wish we had a few more like Kucinich.

Our founding fathers must be very proud of Dennis.

4. Yes ... 434 more times!

51. I'd love to be able to clone him.

Helen Thomas too.

6. Go Dennis!

You da' Man! :thumbsup: :toast: :thumbsup: :toast: :thumbsup: :toast:

7. Never give up when it means justice . . .

Kucinich definitely exhibits the belief "If first you don't succeed, try and try again!" Also the old adage "The squeaky wheel gets the attention!" Maybe, just maybe, someone will act on this long over due action. :applause:

[MadrasT]

26. Squeak!

Squeak, Dennis... SQUEAK LOUD!!! :bounce:

:patriot:

8. Kick for Kucinich

[lonestarnot]

9. Go Dennis! You are apparently the only one on the Hill who gives a fuck about America!

[Plucketeer]

11. Don't forget Wexler!

Dennis is not totally alone. It's just that there's not enough who take their oathes seriously. The dickhead GOP lackey that reps our district is a disgrace to all but the base he panders to and collects from. he votes "NO" so consistently that I'm thinking all he can master is 2-letter words. :dunce:

[lonestarnot]

19. I almost did! Thanks for the reminder!

:D

[Norrin Radd]

21. And Jim McDermott.

[lonestarnot]

22. Don't know him. Guess I should.

:shrug:

[chknltl]

46. McDermott is definitely one of the quit spoken good guys!

The very first time I ever heard about the depleted uranium munitions horror was from Rep. McDermott. He gained the nickname "Baghdad Jim" from the repuke scream machine because he dared to go see for himself what was going on in Iraq prior to our fiasco invasion. His report, (aired on C-SPAN watched live by my kids and I) confirmed what we already knew: We were going to war with Iraq NOT because of WMD but because of OIL!

In that report he talked about the nightmare unleashed by our use of depleted uranium munitions from the first gulf war-he detailed the effects it had on the unborn and on children playing on tanks destroyed by such munitions. He warned that we would likely use these munitions again...which we did.

McDermott has always been counted on to side with the vets, he has worked tirelessly to pass legislation regarding depleted uranium oxide poisoning on our vets. He has always sided with impeachment legislation as well.

Perhaps not as in the limelight as a Dennis Kucinich, Jim McDermott has been a major thorn in the side of the bush administration. Here is a link to his official page: http://www.house.gov/mcdermott/ be sure to scroll down a bit and check out his latest speech on the House Floor regarding the similarities of bush's hostile takeover of Iraqi Oil and a similar incident over 7 decades ago by the British.

ANY support for this patriot would be much appreciated...even if you only send him a thank you letter or a call, it is time well worth being spent on someone spending his time fighting for all of us. :patriot:

48. Thank you! Now I remember him.

:crazy: I get on overload several times per day! Thank you for your informative post!

10. K&R n/t

[Orrex]

12. Kucinich's strategy is the height of foolishness

This crazy practice of introducing one article each day won't get him even a third of the way through the list of impeachable offenses by the time Bush leaves office.

[FREEWILL56]

28. No, not so foolish as bush's telling America lie after lie

until you bought it. One pushed falsehoods and one brings them to light with the truth. The truth and making those telling the lies to be exposed for what they are and to be made liable for the actions taken because of those lies is never a waste of time.

[Orrex]

31. Hmm...

Maybe I should have used the sarcasm smiley...

[FREEWILL56]

53. Yes, as that changes the perspective altogether now doesn't it?

peace :hippie: :hi:

[The Wielding Truth]

38. You are right . It is the height! The best. He is standing the tallest.

[undeterred]

13. Dennis and I decided we should introduce the articles together

this time. :hi:

[The Wielding Truth]

39. Are you a Congress person? Or in mass media?

[undeterred]

44. No, I'm "undeterred".

Get it?

[The Wielding Truth]

45. "undeterred". Too bad you're not actively"undeterred".

You could be more than a word. You could be at his side physically. You could be screaming impeachment or writing impeachment or supporting the man's actions. Are you helping him more than saying you are undeterred? How are you taking any credit for impeachment articles? He has been taking the hits for us. I have called his office and I send him money,but it is his honor that stands alone. If you say you are with him I should see you there. Hope to.

14. The Little Man that Could and Would and DID!

Thank you Congressman Kucinich!

[Vidar]

15. We still have one intact hero left!

[Dangerously Amused]

16. My hero! Go Dennis go!!!

So uplifting to see someone who is not afraid to do the right thing, no matter the odds or resistance.

[Runcible Spoon]

17. keep pushing for justice Dennis!

KnR.

[swimmernsecretsea]

18. GO! DENNIS! GO!

What an American hero. Thank you, Dennis!

[Norrin Radd]

[jwirr]

23. Didn't he promise 65? What he did not tell them is that they would be

introduced one at a time. Good going Kucinich.

[MadrasT]

27. One a day

I'd love to see one a day, every day, from now until the last day Congress is in session. :woohoo:

[jwirr]

29. We may not be able to get the rest of the Democrats to back this

but they WILL have to take time out of their busy schedules to vote on each and every one of them. And hopefully feel foolish about being such chickens.

[mbperrin]

30. Yes, Dennis is my guy! But it makes me boil when I read

Earlier this week, Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers said he would let Kucinich discuss his arguments for impeachment during a hearing later this summer, but he indicated the committee likely would not act on impeachment.

“We’re not doing impeachment, but he can talk about it,” the chairman said.


WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? Why can he only TALK about it??????????????????????

35. Pelosi

[awoke_in_2003]

42. Yep

and all those voting against him will be on record as doing so. Maybe one day we will actually put people in congress that will take their job seriously.

[TerribleLarryDingle]

24. God why

Didn't more people vote for this guy? He's the first politician I have ever donated money to and I don't have a lot of money.

[The Wielding Truth]

41. Yep. I feel the same . Welcome to DU!

:toast:

* never stops sucking the country dry. Even to his last day in office. He is a menace.

[TerribleLarryDingle]

52. Thanks!

Glad to be here

[timtom]

59. He's the only politician I've donated to, as well

And welcome to DU. It appears that you are in the right place

[JohnWxy]

25. if Mr. Kucinich does nothing else in his entire political career he can be proud he distinguished

himself by this honorable and noble action in defense of our democracy. No other Dems, for political expediency, are willing to do this right thing. Kucinich can know that he stands out from the cowed crowd on this matter as the one honest man in the Congress.

[Jefferson23]

32. I truly love this man for standing up for what is right. God knows too many

stand for what is wrong.

[humbled_opinion]

33. Does anybody here seriously doubt

That starting in 2009 Obama Impeachment will be more then on the table from the rethugs point of view. In fact I would say that when Obama wins impeachment articles will start swinging from day one..

Mark my words.

[Xenotime]

34. Watching right now....This kicks ass! IMPEACH!! IMPEACH!!!

[hack89]

36. A nice pat on the head

before the leadership tells him to go away and leave the adults alone.

[NorthCarolina]

40. K&R for Kucinich, America's Congressman

eom

[bamacrat]

43. Its really sad that there is only one member of Congress on our side.

This great man with a true vision of propelling America back to prominence barely got 1% of the vote in the primaries. People cannot bitch anymore about politicians if the only ones they will elect are the ones who value money and corporate greed over the quality of American life.

54. 238 Yea votes

[DemEyeDick]

55. Kucinich for VP please!!!!

bamacrat, you have put into words, the thought I had while reading through this thread. I am a Kucinich supporter and always will be. He is the only person who has the intestinal fortitude to go against the grain and stand up for what is right. I would LOVE for Senator Obama to pick Kucinich as his running mate for the election. He would be a great mentor and guide for Obama to have on his side.

[bamacrat]

62. One can only dream.

:hi:

[caseycoon]

47. K&R for Dennis!

I can't say enough good things about him!
:woohoo:
:toast:

[The Sushi Bandit]

49. Dennis is my man!!

[earth mom]

50. Go Dennis & Stay Safe!

:applause:

[Highway61]

56. A BIG K & R for Dennis!

I love him. He is like a pit bull and he's notta gonna let go of this.

[RoccoR5955]

57. I hope that History records Dennis Kucinich as one of this nation's heroes.

:kick:
He sure deserves it. He is the only one who is willing to step up to the plate, and go to bat for WE THE PEOPLE.
Only time will tell.

[AndyTiedye]

58. IMPEACH!

[Jack Rabbit]

60. If I may be so bold as to suggest . . .

. . . bogus claims of executive privilege are impeachable offenses.

[cstanleytech]

61. Dennis, give it a rest.

Sorry everyone, I know he seems to mean well and all but its clear there will be no impeachment as warranted as many of us might believe it to be for varies reasons its just clear its NOT going to happen, we have a few more months and we get a new president so why waste time on this when we should be focusing on getting Obama elected because atleast then we stand some chance however minor of atleast Bush being perhaps investigated and put on trial for any crimes he has commited.
Odds are though far greater that if McCain wins you all can pretty much kiss any hope of said trial ever happening and any and all records will be either sealed or destroyed.
