Resolution To Impeach VP Cheney Submitted
Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) has submitted a resolution, HR 333, to impeach VP Dick Cheney on charges of "high crimes and misdemeanors." The charges were submitted on 24 April 2007. Congressman Kucinich has posted his supporting documents online, including a brief summary of the impeachment procedure (PDF), a synopsis (PDF), and the full text (PDF) of the impeachment resolution.
I am sick of this BS being promulgated by the masses. Bill Clinton was not impeached over a BJ. He was impeached for "The charges were perjury and obstruction of justice, arising from the Lewinsky scandal." So yes a BJ was involved, but he was impeached for lying under oath about a BJ. Something any one of us would do jail time for.
Though I fear we will soon find out how much money Haliburton is willing to throw around in order to keep their sock puppet in office.
Um...Bill Clinton has been out of office for several years now.
Oh? You mean Cheney? Ah. I thought you meant the first guy in office to offer a military contract to Halliburton with no limit and no competing bids. That was Bill Clinton. He was their sock puppet. If anything, this administration has simply *continued* Clinton's policy with Halliburton. I suspect, though, that Clinton will get a buy on this one because, well, he is from your party [apparently].

Hurray for insults. Nothing convinces a person of the righteousness of an opinion quite like them.
My statement simply reflects observations. Feel free to refute it, if you can.

Not an impeachable offense.

I assume you rant of Haliburton. No impeachable offense.
> Cheney, the man who told someone, on record, to fuck off...
Not an impeachable offense.
Man... you have some serious teenage angst.

Funny how ad hominem attacks on people you don't know tend to miss so widely. I'm not even from the US and for all I care both of your major parties are equally bought, corrupted and incompetent.
/. I can snark here. Given the tone of your post and the fact that you mentioned Cheney and Halliburton together led me to believe you are from America or at the very least you support the Democratic Party. Again, this is /. I can be wrong here.
It was not an ad hominem attack; it was an ad hominem snark. This is
The point that I was making and that seems to have been overlooked in favor of the snark is that Cheney and Halliburton are so often mentioned together and those who oppose the current President and his party fail to recall that it was a Democratic president who offered Halliburton a contract without requiring a competing bid or putting an upper limit on the contract. Instead, Democratic congressman call for special investigations into Cheney's role in doing what Bill Clinton started. I was simply pointing out the double standard and the fact that Clinton will continue to be thought of as a grand and wonderful president when in fact the current president is in many ways simply following in his footsteps. The real difference between the parties is, as you alluded to, the letter in parenthesis behind the man's name.

The Democrats are a far-right party by the standards of the rest of the world.
Just testing my Ameridar.. it says you're a cliché liberal american who hardly knows much more about the rest of the world than any other american but who wants to sound like he does badly.
Did it get it right, is it working? ;-)
