TURN ON C-SPAN: Kucinich introduced articles of impeachment on President Bush

[MisterMagoo]

yes, it's not gossip about bodybuilding, but this is monumental and everyone, even if you don't give a shit about politics, should be watching. he just spent over two hours listing off all thirty-five counts.

[240 is Back]

yep, he said this was coming last year.

Will never happen, but will serve to expose the shady things that have been done in the last 7 years.  McCain, who has voted with bush 95% of the time, is tied to 95% of these things, like it or not.

[MisterMagoo]

it may never follow-through, but this is huge. i'm amazed that he's laying the whole case out. the transcript of this is going to go down in history.

[PANDAEMONIUM]

 

This should be interesting.  If it goes through, imagine that: two U.S. presidents IN A ROW impeached.  Oh well, this is the age of litigation, so expect more in the future.

I'm watching season 2 of Lost, can anyone list the counts?

[candidizzle]

damn what the hell why dont you guys go register on a political forum or take his to our own politics board... i hate all this shit being on the G&O.. i got bored with discussing this shit as a junior in high school why the hell are you guys still talking about it

+how the hell do you think your going to fix it? with your avrage citizen voice? with your single vote? by convincing a handful of people of your opinion?

fact is none of you guys will make any impact on the polcy's of the US govt, regardless of how endlessly you argue and debate and put forth facts and logic...

your only chance to make any change is to get into politics yourself. no outsider can make any impact.

Bush will never be impeached.  he's done the unprecendented deed of simply classifying every person whose testimony could hurt him.  People get on the stand - and simply say "executive privledge" - and refuse to testify.  It's hella unconstitutional, but it stalls long enough to finish his term.

People might think it's funny... but look at it this way... Support Pres. Obama decides to tell his people "you never have to answer for anything in the 8 years we're in office".  Would it be so funny then, if Obama was changing laws, firing people, and everything else, and smirked when asked to let his people testify (legally required)?

he can be impeached, he just might never be legally taken to account for his actions.

Dan-O, ...if you're reading this... I'm getting flushed and very, very moist.  

He may never be impeached, ...but I doubt he will live out his entire existence in South America.
They eventually got Pinochet and Americans will eventually hold many in this current administration accountable.

PS - This thread needs to be moved to the Political Board.

Let's see BB maintain his position that the president has done nothing wrong. I'd love to see him argue that.
I know it'll never happen in a million years, ...all we'll see is the eye-roll he resorts to when unable to hold his position.

[bigguns23]

Boring.

we pardon our presidents because we're better than everyone else.

[daddy8ball]

How exciting! Let us all know how the impeachment turns out. 

[240 is Back]

Before any republicans laugh at this, and mention how Bush should be allowed to get away with all this...

Think about what happens when Obama inherits all this groovy power.

Picture Obama starting 2 or 3 wars because he wants to.  Picture Obama changing the Constitution.  Picture Obama smirking at the camera and saying he'll continue the [latest unpopular move] even if only 1% of the population supports it. 

Picture Obama's staff never having to answer for anything (Bush's staff no longer chooses to testify, spitting in congress' eye).  Imagine VP Hilary with the power Cheney has.

Are you still laughing?  Is it still funny?  President Obama will be able to do what he pleases, kids, just like Bush does.

It's not listed as a news item on any of the major news websites.  Strange.

It just happened - concluded at 11:52 PM.  They're continuing the motion at 9 am tomorow on CSPAN.  MSN, CNN, and FOX are all on repeats from 10 pm on.  It may show up on those 'every 30 minute' news blubs throughout the night.  I think it'll be on the news tomorrow.  Ons side mocking it, one side preaching it, as always.

It's just nut-bag Kucinich doing his thing.  It's not going anywhere; read the last paragraph:

Kucinich offers impeachment articles against Bush

Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) introduced 35 articles of impeachment against President Bush on Monday night, reading the resolution into the Congressional Record.

Kucinich, who unsuccessfully sought the Democratic presidential nomination this year, unveiled a litany of alleged illegal and improper acts by Bush, including war crimes.

Kucinich has introduced a similar impeachment resolution against Vice President Cheney. That resolution was referred to the House Judiciary Committee, which has taken no action on the measure. Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and other top House Democratic leaders have stated that there will be no consideration of impeachment proceedings against Bush, calling the idea "off the table."

Agree. Just politics as usual, and 240 creating traffic as usual.

why even bother, bush is gone in 7 months, spend your time on something that matters like lowering gas prices, raising that value of the dollar, ending the war in iraq, stopping the flow of illegal immigrants, bringing the housing market back on track, doing something about global warming etc, etc

THERE ARE ALOT OF BETTER THINGS TO BE DOING WITH YOUR TIME

[Bob Bonham]

You think the guy would spend his time pushing laws thru that will better America  than wasting the energy doing something that will never happen.

most of these problems are because of Bush and his cronies. They should pay for damages.

I'll believe it when I see it.
