Not so much, where is he on the issue, but literally, where is he? Is he actively supporting Kucinich and, dare it be asked, why not?

He was asked about this early on in the pres race. His position was basically, "That's the Democrats' job."

Myself I see impeachment as nothing more than catering to those ticked that Clinton was rightfully impeached, and it's just about an eye for an eye that they(wrongly) think they suffered unjustly.
That aside, I would like to see Bush tried for war crimes, it's MUCH more appropriate and caries a useful sentence to prevent this type thing in the future. But that's beyond the simplistic callings for an impeachment.

I'm gonna quote Chris Rock: "He lied about a blowjob so his wife wouldn't find out".
And I"m gonna quote a bumper sticker that is usually accompanied by a John Kerry sticker: "No one died when Clinton lied".
I'm for impeachment of Bush. He's certainly more deserving of it than Clinton was. But it almost always takes something sexual to get people riled up about something, just look at the Janet Jackson super bowl incident.

Ron Paul was one of 22 republicans that voted for the Kucinich articles of impeachment. All democrats and 22 republicans did. Or was that 23?

I know Paul voted to impeach Clinton for what he did...don't know about Bush, but it sounds like it.

I thought I saw a video somewhere where he said that he wouldn't personally put a ton of energy into it because he honestly felt that there were more important things at hand.

This vote was on the motion to refer the bill to the judiciary committee (where it will die).

O well.
