House Narrowly Avoids Having to Debate Impeachment of Cheney
An anonymous reader writes "Representative Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) yesterday successfully moved articles of impeachment against Vice President Dick Cheney to the House Judiciary committee. 'Today's resolution from Kucinich (D-Ohio) was essentially the same as the legislation he introduced earlier this year, which included three articles of impeachment against Cheney based largely on allegations that he manipulated intelligence in the run-up to the Iraq war. The last article accuses Cheney of threatening "aggression" against Iran "absent any real threat."'"
I think they should drop the one with Iran cuz "no threat?...come on! That's ridiculous. Any crazy person with rockets is a threat to me. Anyway, they should replace that charge with reckless endangerment with a firearm. I'm not sure if that actually exists, I just made it up. Maybe just reckless endangerment. Either way, he should watch where he's pointing that shotgun.

I think Dick Cheney is an ass, and is a true embarrassment to the United States (and hunters, but that's another topic). He, along with King George, is ***FAR*** more of a threat to American freedom than any foreign terrorist group. And I would agree he and King George both need to go. I'm eagerly awaiting Jan 20th, 2009, as there is no way any of the current candidates could be a greater fuckup than either Darth or King.
But its time for the Democrats to quit posturing for the cameras and get the real work done. In the current Congress, there is absolutely zero chance of either Darth Cheney or King George being impeached. All the Democrats are doing when they introduce impeachment legislation is drawing time and attention away from work on the nation's business that really could be accomplished. And all that people who demand that the Democrats introduce articles of impeachment are doing is kidding themselves and tying up Congress.
I want a new quote. One that won't spill. One that don't cost too much. Or come in a pill.
There all just a bunch of puppets for the central bankers and the will of the Bilderberg Group. Anyone that has any power has been associated with this consortium of power worldwide. So no it doesn't really matter who gets to replace them, they will have the same boss anyways. Those that don't agree and try to buck the system will probably end up like JFK, In a body bag attributed to some patsy who then gets wacked by a patriot before they can be questioned. You know It's funny how many times the Military has some patsy dishonorably discharged for some sort of "bad" act that the US would never condone. but soldiers don't think for them selves they take orders, they follow their chain of command, so here are these pawns that get removed but the real boss/badguy stays in power.
There's no "near-even" split between parties. Americans currently affiliate as "Democrats" over "Republicans" by something like 37.3:32.7%. That 3.6 points is over 11% of the Republican percentage. Americans voted for Democrats by 11.6% overall nationwide. Right now Democrats have a 15 point advantage over Republicans in the presidential race.
Congress is indeed counted as a whole, which is legitimate. Americans are unhappy with Congress for what Republicans are actively blocking, and Democrats passively accepting. That isn't actually any kind of partisan stalemate, either among the politicos, or the Americans who they're all letting down.

make install -not war
Fuck this stay-the-course nonsense. Just think of it as a strategic retreat.
Unfortunately, there's a lot of money to be made by keeping this war going.
Soldiers and citizens take the brunt, but don't make the decisions.
I say, follow the money. I suspect that for Cheney & co. this was a very profitable enterprise.
