VT Republican candidate for Congress says: "IMPEACH BUSH"
Edited on Fri Apr-14-06 11:11 AM by garybeck
CORRECTION: I first posted this saying he's running for senate which resulted in a lot of backlash concerning him trying to steal votes from Bernie Sanders. My mistake. he's running for congress, the seat that Bernie is vacating. Same issues apply however.

From http://www.impeachbush.tv/editorials/dmorso_050819.html
appeared in Rutland Herald

------------------

Statement by Dennis Morrisseau, Republican candidate for Congress.

They are totalitarians. Obvious totalitarians. That is why they have to come down. The war in Iraq is not the reason. They began the war as a means to power over us. The war is first a way to silence us. Further sham elections will be an aid in that, but we have been suffering sham elections in America for some time now. (More on that later)

“Rove’s Dream”. You can probably Google it. It’s right in the open and yet somehow unseen: The plan to take control of all three branches of government and make that control permanent. “The Architect” Bush calls him. This "Architect", said to be a gay man, who bashes gays, has designed a strange church. An Orwellian church adding the power of religious belief and bigotry to government power, all in derogation of our beloved constitution, our beloved short history, real religion, our true values. Hate is love. War is peace. Stealing your lives, your sustenance, your oil, your children, your votes, your money, your minds—all in the name of “Freedom”, in the name of “Democracy”. That’s what we’re going to impeach them for.

These men and Ms. Rice are not Republicans. They are also certainly not conservatives. Nor Americans. I mean that. I hate to say it, because of the history of the phrase: they are un-American—in clear violation of their oath’s of office to “preserve and protect the Constitution”. Read the oaths. Read the Constitution. You can do all that in half an hour. Take the time.

These men and Ms. Rice are not hidden. Right in front of our noses they are condoning torture and a war of conquest. What are the permanent Iraq bases for? In court and in public, this group is claiming that The President’s War Powers trump all other US and international law—that Bush’s “inherent powers” as commander-in-chief to manage the war, mean that he can ignore court orders, written law, the Congress, and can override the Constitution itself, at will. That is why we must impeach them. And, by the way, I am a Republican. Running for Congress now, for ’06, up in Vermont. Will YOU run in your state? I’ll help You. Visit my website for openers:

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Dennis Morrisseau

2. but we need people from both parties to support impeachment
it would be very difficult if it were only on party lines.

3. I guess he knows he needs to do this to have any shot against Bernie! :)

A good sign though that some are feeling pressured to take this sort of stance.

Wouldn't change my mine one iota if I were a Vermonter at voting Bernie Sanders in. That man NEEDS to be part of our Senate soon! We need a true progressive outside of the two parties to help keep the lobbying monster in check and move towards real Clean Elections public financing reform later.

8. the problem with Bernie is
that he refuses to recognize any problems with our Diebold voting system here. He will get more votes, but I think Diebold will steal the election.

However, they won't give it to this guy, who is a good man, regardless of his party, he HATES Bush as much as we do. Diebold will give it to this other guy, Tarrant, who is the typical Republican asshole who just lies his way into congress.

The interesting thing is that Morrisseau, the Republican who hates Bush but is getting no support from the party, is the only one out of the three who recognizes that Bush stole the election, and that Diebold is a fraud. He would do more about election fraud than Bernie would, and he would stand up and demand a recount if there was any signs of funny business. Bernie will roll over when it happens.

This guy is not just another republican who wants to get elected and sees the anti-Bush tact as a way in. He hates Bush with a Passion. I've talked to him many times. I often wonder why he's running as a republican because he's against the war, against Bush, against all the spying, everything. I think he was just a lifelong republcan and he'd rather fix the party from within than leave it.

4. If he gets to the Senate, McCain and Roberts
and the rest of the Smirkbots will beat him into submission post haste. When he welches on this promise, can the Vermonters recall him?

5. Trying to pull antiwar votes away from Bernie Sanders?
That seems a likely explanation.

9. no, this guy is not like that.
he's running on principle and nothing else. he's a lifelong republican from the military and he's fed up with his party and he wants to do something about it. he's for real. not just trying to steal votes from Bernie...

the repubs will never give him the nomination tho. they are giving him ZERO support.

10. Memo to Mr. Morrisseau:
Well, they're sure not DEMOCRATS, dude!

Go whine to somebody else. You people made your f---ing bed, now you can just lie in it.

11. I don't think you get it
this guy is not what you think. he's not a politician. he's from the military. he's a lifelong republican who hates Bush and the direction his party is going.

he also happens to be the only one in the race who recognizes that Bush stole the election and that Diebold is dangerous. he deserves some credit.

17. Good for him, is right.
I hope he's not looking for any fundraising help from the national GOP.

But I admire the clarity.

18. Republicans will shit themselves if he is elected
But I don't think that I could support him. Taking back the house is too important.
