It's going to be very public and looked into - the charges, that is....

Headline: Kucinich wins hearings but not on impeaching Bush
This is bullshit.

Headline: Kucinich wins hearings but not on impeaching Bush
This is bullshit.
"Instead, the panel will conduct an election-year review — possibly televised — of everything Democrats consider to be Bush's abuse of power. Kucinich, a Democrat from Ohio, is likely to testify. But so will several scholars and administration critics, Democrats said."

The House on Tuesday voted 238-180 to send the article of impeachment — for Bush's reasoning for taking the country to war in Iraq — to the Judiciary Committee, which buried Kucinich's previous effort.
This time, the panel will open hearings. But House Democrats emphatically said they will not be about Bush's impeachment, a first step in the Constitution's process of a removing a president from office.
lol.

These Democratic pussies - it is not even about getting Bush out a couple of months early. It's about telling the world that America is tired of his bullshit, and try to salvage SOME shred of the world's respect

Fuck the world, they're trade partners, not allies. So long as we cease our roguish foreign policy, there's always a mutual incentive to trade.

Otherwise....yawn.

It's not about being popular, it's about not being hated. George Bush even being in office subsidizes terrorism, because he is a symbol of hate that they use to propagate their message of violence against the West.
I'm not saying that Bush being impeached would diffuse the feelings that enable terrorism - but it is a very necessary first step.

Think this is from june
http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/06/11/kucinich.impeach/
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Rep. Dennis Kucinich, a former Democratic presidential candidate from Ohio, introduced a resolution to impeach President Bush into the House of Representatives on Tuesday.
Kucinich announced his intention to seek Bush's impeachment Monday night, when he read the lengthy document into the record.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has repeatedly said she would not support a resolution calling for Bush's impeachment, saying such a move was unlikely to succeed and would be divisive.
Most of the congressman's resolution deals with the Iraq war, contending that the president manufactured a false case for the war, violated U.S. and international law to invade Iraq, failed to provide troops with proper equipment and falsified casualty reports for political purposes.
Kucinich also charges that Bush has illegally detained without charge both U.S. citizens and "foreign captives" and violated numerous U.S. laws through the use of "signing statements" declaring his intention to do so.
Other articles address global warming, voting rights, Medicare, the response to Hurricane Katrina and failure to comply with congressional subpoenas.
Last year, Kucinich introduced a resolution to impeach Vice President Dick Cheney. But in November when Republicans tried to force a debate on the move, the attempt failed. Democrats voted to send the resolution to the House Judiciary Committee, where committee chairman Rep. John Conyers has taken no action on it.
An earlier resolution to impeach Cheney has languished in the House Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties since May 2007.
The House of Representatives has voted to impeach two presidents -- Andrew Johnson, in 1868, and Bill Clinton, in 1999 -- but both were acquitted by the Senate and remained in office. No U.S. vice president has been impeached.
Kucinich dropped out of the race for the Democratic nomination for president in January to focus on his re-election bid in Ohio. He handily won the Democratic primary in his district on March 4 and faces former State Representative Jim Trakas in the general election.

Well, maybe we should get someone in there that would diffuse world opinion... You know like Gandies offspring or Nelson Mandella or someone that looks exactly like a middle eastern schoolbook image of Mohamed...

Interesting that there was only one Dem vote against the hearings.... wonder who it was...

Jesus Christ - I cannot think of anything MORE divisive than George Bush and his policies. Hell, impeaching him is about the only thing the country could agree on right about now.

It's a Propaganda Campaign by the CONGRESSIONAL PUPPETS to APPEAR to be doing something about the TYRANT and his EMPIRE.
ALL for the Congressional Clowns to BUY TIME until they're RE-ELECTED. Don't foget they go on ANOTHER Vacation all of August in 2 weeks.
NOTE: Didn't Congress pass the bill that had IMMUNITY for Herr BUSH and his SS Minions of ANY wrong doings related to anything?
Wasn't it PASSED like JAN or FEB 2008?

Indeed, but for right now, let us let them do what they can do to kick King George out of office.
Then in November, after they have performed their last (or only) act of usefulness, we kick everyone out of Congress except for Kucinich and Paul, and perhaps a few others who don't waver on their principles. (I don't agree with everything Kucinich says, but I strongly admire him for not flip-flopping like 99% of Congress folk).

Oh man, if they impeached Bush that'd be hilarious! I wonder what Tricky Dick would do in the last couple months, do we really want him with all those nifty Presidential powers or even worse, NANCY PELOSI?! God I can't wait for it to be 2009 already.

I have a confession to make ... I voted for the Dems in the 2006 election. I regret it ... sometimes I just want to pull my hair out. The Dems are epic pussies. I'd like to bring impeachment articles against them for not having impeachment hearings!
What is this BS -- we'll allow the impeachment article and the beginning stages of the proceedings, but we're not going to do anything with it? It's just review??? Our President is a war criminal, we'd like everyone to remember, but no, we're not going to do anything about it. WTF???

Don't feel bad, CUnkown.
I used to be a neo-con. Two years ago I would have laughed if the Democrats had attempted to bring forth any impeachment.
So, I have my regrets, too.

Just a reminder. If we get rid of the "Decider", we get Cheney.
Nice trade or not? :eek:
If we get rid of both of them we get Pelosi, I think. Does that sound good or what? :eek: :eek:

Saw this reply in an article.
Here's an interesting fact - if the impeachment trial happens in the Senate then none of the Senators can campaign during the trial and have to be present during the entire proceedings which would mean that Harris, Sanders, Booker and Warren would be finished. It's a Senate Rule live with it.
