35 Articles of Impeachment Introduced Against Bush
vsync64 writes "Last night, Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) spent 4 hours reading into the Congressional Record 35 articles of impeachment against George W. Bush. Interestingly, those articles (63-page PDF via Coral CDN) include not just complaints about signing statements and the war in Iraq, but also charges that the President "Sp[ied] on American Citizens, Without a Court-Ordered Warrant, in Violation of the Law and the Fourth Amendment,' 'Direct[ed] Telecommunications Companies to Create an Illegal and Unconstitutional Database of the Private Telephone Numbers and Emails of American Citizens,' and 'Tamper[ed] with Free and Fair Elections.' These are issues near and dear to the hearts of many here, so it's worth discussing. What little mainstream media coverage there is tends to be brief (USA Today, CBS News, UPI, AP, Reuters)." The (Democratic) House leadership has said that the idea of impeachment is "off the table." The Judiciary Committee has not acted on articles of impeachment against Vice President Cheney introduced by Kucinich a year ago.
Kucinich just wants to look like he gives a shit. If he had the balls to actually do this, he'd have done it years ago.
If the President is going to be routinely impeached, arrested, and jailed during or after his term, why should any President ever allow another election? Wouldn't it be suicidal for him to do that?
This type of thing is a recipe for civil war. Consider whether you want that.
>Bush murdered a decorated war hero on national television
He's murdered several war heroes.
This has no chance of going anywhere. Why is this on the front page? Kucinich is perceived as a nutjob by the vast majority of the United States. Why should we care what he thinks or introduces in the House?
enough said. Living, breathing relic of "Stupid is as stupid does."

Kookcinich is a few bricks shy of a full load...

The only thing I saw was a vague mention of improving efficiencies, and that if a more efficient source of energy existed, we would move to it. Although the tariffs that the US has on Brazilian ethanol makes that impossible on an economic level, further aggravating the rest of the problems with a food->fuel program. [1]
Where was the mentions of the regulations in the US that have made it cost-prohibitive to construct a nuclear plant [2]
No, the original post did not mention alternatives, it parroted a point that is meaningless. That somehow we need to fund 'research' for something down the road. When the reality is that we HAVE the technologies, we just have dont the legal and market forces setup in this country to allow it to happen.
Yes, that's what really happened. Alas, it's not part of the revisionist version of the Clinton Administration put out by the Democrats. If you listen to them, all you'll hear is that the whole thing was a plot by the Republicans to discredit a Great Man because he got a blow job. They conveniently ignore the Inconvenient Truth that it was about Obstruction of Justice because that doesn't fit into the way they want things to have been. Go ahead, Clinton worshippers, mod me down. See if I care; I have karma to burn!

Jesus Fucking Christ....if you are hanging your hats on the rantings of some nutjob who thinks he's been contacted by UFOs you're kidding yourselves. It's shocking that horseshit like this is "news for nerds" - "news for nuts" is more the case.
They're not preventing it from happening. It's increasing it.
First off, the Gulf is being drilled. Just not by us. Cuba & China. And you know those crappy products you get from China. Imagine that sub-par drilling. And guess what. They don't care because if they release a billion gallons of oil into the gulf. It's simply going to destroy Florida's coast. Oh well.
ANWAR, one of the drilling spots is 700 miles from the nearest tree. Drill, even a leak could be easily cleaned by collecting it from the ice. Which would freeze and harden the oil.
The wise thing would be to have the military drill those spots regardless of Congress in order to make the military independent of foreign oil. Then have all the excess sold for profit to fund tax breaks for those who put solar cells on their homes, and buy plug-in hybrids & electrics.
But that's the type of thinking Conservatives have...solutions. Versus Liberals who just want to blame.
but,
even more people think he is a deranged sad twisted funny looking twit....
Liberal Socialist like you have no concept of reality anyway. You are the worst at trying to rearrange reality to fit what you want. If it doesn't fit your outcome then it must not be true.
I bet you believe the US Government was behind the 9/11 attacks.
