Rep. Kucinich not giving up on Bush impeachment
Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) said he’s not going to let his effort to impeach President Bush die a quiet death in committee.
He said Wednesday that he’ll bring his resolution back in 30 days if the Judiciary Committee, to which it was referred Wednesday, doesn’t act on it.
"This one’s coming back from the dead in 30 days," Kucinich said after the referral vote Wednesday. "In 30 days, I’ll be joined by many more" members, he said.
Asked who those members were, he replied, "You’ll see."
Just passing along an article from TheHill.com, posted at 6:50 pm EDT 6/11/08. I do realize historically their reporting has been off the mark, and there is at least one glaring error in the article (the author claims there are no co-sponsors to the bill, even though its been widely publicized that Wexler has).
Regardless, I'm interested in Kucinich's quotes. More importantly, I'm interested in seeing these criminalistic motherfuckers held accountable!
I watched Monday night as Dennis read his articles of impeachment into the congressional record. It was such a righteous and concise summation of the criminal enterprise that has plagued this planet for the past 7.5 years. (Actually I would argue that this enterprise has plagued this planet for many decades, its just that the Bush Junta has been the pinnacle manifestation of our military-industrial malevolence.)
As I watched Dennis read those articles, recanting the multitudes of heinous achievement, I was literally cheering and shouting at my monitor, "ABOUT FUCKING TIME!" With each passing article, I wondered, what the hell could be next (its only #14!?!?).
With each passing article, my conviction of the absolute necessity to impeach this entire cabal grew. Not out of spite, hatred or anger (although yea, I'm beyond pissed at 'em), but because neglecting to do so would be an absolute complicity in their crimes. It never was so clear that it is incredibly and morally imperative for it to happen, to set the precedent. The precedent that lying, criminalistic bastards WILL NOT be allowed to get away with theft, murder, obstruction of justice, profiteering, lying, criminal negligence and a whole litany of other malfeasances and transgressions on our beloved Constitution, Nation, Planet.
It is so crystal clear. If you do not even attempt to hold these bastards accountable, then you are no better than the driver in the getaway car.
I'm talking to you, Harry, Nancy and the other spineless bastards who are worried about bullshit political calculations than upholding the constitution and the rule of law. Obama is going to sweep this nation, the ocean is coming in at full tide, and the Republicans are going out to sea. What I just cannot get over is that people want to see the Bush Junta held accountable, yet these guys are still hedging bets.
IMHO, there could not be a more possibly favorable political climate for their impeachment. PEOPLE ARE PISSED! If you build it, they will come. And they will cheer you on as you deliver the mighty stroke of justice and restore some modicum of dignity and honor to our nation.
Thank you Dennis.
