What a bunch of baloney

Impeachment is their for a purpose. If this is not high crimes and misdeamenors what is?

Over a 100K people are dead because of a war based on a lie
A CIA agent cover has been blown
Illegal wiretaps took place
removal of habeous corpus

If dodd cannot recognize the threat to our Democracy that this presents, and to let it go unchallenged, then he, and others like him are also part of the problem

1. Dudd

[still_one]

2. well put. There is a reason the impeachment process is in the Constitution

what kind of message does that send?

[spanone]

20. Amen.

[MissWaverly]

3. scratch him off my list of candidates

He said that Cheney is not upholding the Constitution as well as he could.

That statement is absurd and only makes me madder.

[sellitman]

5. He is not doing his job as well as he could.

What an ASS!

[MissWaverly]

12. well, this is why we have campaigns

anybody can do a 60 second sound bite, and when Dodd is well rehearsed, he can appear quite effective.

[still_one]

6. I agree. I thought much better of him until this .nt

[MissWaverly]

8. thanks

the last thing we need is someone that won't deal with "the elephant in the room" - the last 6 years of Bushco. There's going to
have to be mopping up and a denial expert will not do.

15. I think the Congress is slowly getting the message though

When Congress caved in on setting a timeline for our troops, and accountablity, I think they were quite surprised to discover that their consituients were quite displeased

They are looking at their 17% approval rating, and will have to realize that people are upset

[MissWaverly]

27. well, there never is 100% guarantee with anything

but they have to do something, take a stand and follow it thru, even if impeachment was voted down in the senate, at least an
investigation would bring some of this stuff to light and put the brakes on it.

[bdamomma]

24. wow ,what a perception made by Dodd about Cheney

yea, now what?? you guys are too scared to stomp on this thug? unbelieveable, they just continue to let these thugs continue their reign of terror.

[MissWaverly]

28. We need Dems to see the Problem, Not Be the Problem

If they want elected, they need to see the problem and go from there.

If we elect somebody that can't even see the problem, we will never get to the solution.

4. Let me guess...another DNC er?

Wild guess huh?

[still_one]

7. I don't know about that, he says he does want us out of Iraq

However, he is effectively saying that cheney is above the law, and I won't buy that

[jaysunb]

10. I think you mean " DLC'er "

The DNC are the good guys....

[EST]

11. Do you mean DLC?

According to DLCwatch-http://dlcwatch.blogspot.com/

he's not.

[rwheeler31]

9. What kind of website is this?

Beat up on the Dems Underground?

[MissWaverly]

13. We want the best candidate we can have

the last thing we want is to spend 4 years with bags on our heads becuz the Prez has goofed up again.

[nebenaube]

14. If a Dem says something like that then YES YOU BET YER A**!

They need to be beaten down. I refuse to accept that both parties are but two sides of the same coin.

[still_one]

16. Why do you think our founding Father's put impeachment in the Constitution? /nt

[KoKo]

18. We ARE the Dems...UNDERGROUND...not ABOVE GROUND...

:eyes: You can go to the DLC/DNC/Dems.Com or many Above Ground Websites if you think folks here are a problem for you. :shrug:

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

17. He's Right In Many Ways. And Thanks For The Link. He Was Quite Impressive In It Actually. It Was

a really good read.

I don't think he can win or is our best, but he's still a really good Senator and Democrat.

[Disturbed]

19. "he's still a really good Senator and Democrat."

That may be so but he is wrong about not Impeaching Cheney. It must be done and quickly!

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

22. I Think You're Both Right.

I think it's a matter of personal perspective and I can totally see where's he's coming from and his reasoning, and can't totally disagree with it. I also can totally see yours and others reasoning and can't totally disagree with that either.

[mmonk]

21. Oh come on Dodd, it won't hurt your chances.

[KamaAina]

23. So I guess nominating Dodd won't help much, either

Bzzzzzzzzzzt! And here I was thinking he might make a good VP, with his extensive foreign policy experience... (sigh)

[earthlover]

25. So...not to put a dose of reality into your fantasies....but....

what Democratic candidate HAS spoken out in favor of impeaching Cheney besides Kucinich?

[orleans]

26. he's wrong. n/t

[Ilsa]

29. Huh? Won't help? We won't know until we try! nt
