- logicalnoise, on 06/11/2008, -13/+93the bill got voted into a comitee that doesn't meet until bush is out of office. ***** pelosi ***** her in her stupid mouth.

http://yellowcakewalk.net/articles_of_impeachment_ ... - johnlandes, on 06/11/2008, -9/+47As stated in the clip, the democratic leaders are not going to let this happen. Since regaining power, they have betrayed the American people as much as the Republicans have, by continually putting party interests over those of the country. They see far more benefit to their party by letting Bush remain, than if he were removed.
- wynja, on 06/11/2008, -8/+41It's still not going to happen.
- danfive555, on 06/11/2008, -13/+41Here's part two of Olberman on the subject with another correspondent Howard Fineman. http://youtube.com/watch?v=MqyJ901kfwg
- rzxc, on 06/11/2008, -11/+32Although I support the effort to get rid of President Bush, he is only the fall guy. I believe the real criminals are the people who told President Bush what to do (Paul Wolfowitz, Tom Friedman, Bill Kristol, Otto Reich, Elliot Abrams, Rupert Murdoch, etc.). The Establishment maintains its power by controlling our leaders and having them take the blame for their idiotic policies. They convince the public to elect the dumbest person available to office. Since that person doesn't know what the hell is going on, the Establishment can easily convince that person to carry our their agenda. When that agenda fails, as it has, the Establishment then blames the elected person for their failings. President Bush is a moron. But we need to remember who the real criminals are and we need to find a way to remove them from power.
- yodaj007, on 06/12/2008, -1/+19By impeaching Bush it sends a statement to future presidents that "we won't put up with this *****." It's not about punishment. It's about the future.
- Frost9999, on 06/11/2008, -1/+17Removed? Impeachment does not mean he would be removed. he has to be impeached, then convicted. Then he will be removed. Following through with a conviction is even less likely than the impeachment which must come first.
- redfred18t, on 06/11/2008, -5/+21I'm just curious, why are they starting talks about impeachment now instead of 4-5 years ago?
- Revolutionista, on 06/11/2008, -6/+21Impeaching Bush is only the beginning. The problem, and unavoidable blame, lies with all of us as citizens. As long as we have our American luxuries, the crimes committed of this magnitude (both stated and not stated in these articles) will continue to go unchecked and ignored.
- swrostmore, on 06/11/2008, -1/+1449, why?
- swrostmore, on 06/11/2008, -10/+23they are voting to send this to committee right now
- tracer9, on 06/11/2008, -2/+13uh, "Fauxberman" ? eesh, you're doing it wrong.
- desertDenizen, on 06/12/2008, -0/+10I wish I could articulate things as well as this constitutional attorney when I'm trying to explain to my simple-minded Fox-viewing (though non rabidly so) relatives at family get-togethers why impeachment is, in light of the facts, the *responsibility* of this leadership-bankrupt Congress that has utterly sold its soul and sold out the country.
For the record, I am a former Republican, voted for GWB in 2000, with deep regret and apologies to our country, our children, and the world. - ileftfark, on 06/11/2008, -4/+14I approve that message.
- Infidelcastr0, on 06/12/2008, -1/+10To hell with Nancy Pelosi, goddamn spineless moderates, I guess that's the price we pay for a majority. Kucinich should receive some kind of "only congressman with balls" award. No matter how marginalized he may be he's always there, trying to do the right thing and telling the truth.
- Spliced88, on 06/11/2008, -6/+14Is there a recording of Kucinich's 290 minute speech i can download/watch?
- toxicityj, on 06/11/2008, -2/+10if you're referencing the same poll I voted in, that one was from 2005. it only took 3 years to get that ball rolling.
- iith096, on 06/12/2008, -12/+20Should have happened 4 years ago.
- 9bpm9, on 06/11/2008, -2/+10I love how everyone talks like they understand whats going on here, but they don't even know what the hell impeachment means. Which means they weren't even old enough to remember what went on with Clinton.
- inactive, on 06/12/2008, -2/+9HA!
"All 166 votes in favor of opening up a House impeachment debate came from Republicans, apparently eager to paint Democrats as political creatures in a time of serious issues. Kucinich voted with his party, against his own measure." - inactive, on 06/11/2008, -2/+9Easy, because it's an election year and each of these guys would like to be VP.......they both know they can't impeach
- inactive, on 06/11/2008, -8/+15How bout recalling every person in congress for failing to stop the war, failing to stem the rising cost of fuel and food, failing to end the mortgage crisis, failing to close the border, failing to represent to people they serve by carrying on with meaningless ***** like trying to impeach the president . What a pathetic bunch of ***** losers.
- swrostmore, on 06/11/2008, -2/+9minus Ted Kennedy, who is recuperating from brain surgery
- BrendanSheehan, on 06/12/2008, -1/+7You're been dugg down for that comment!? I'll report this bug at once.
- jaydoj, on 06/12/2008, -0/+6Shouldn't have happened four years ago, should have never been elected into office.
- jaydoj, on 06/12/2008, -3/+9He was in violation of his oath he took when he was sworn in as President. He swore to faithfully execute the laws of this country. He violated this with the help of his elected Vice President Dick Cheney. On national television, they informed the country that Iraq was in possesion of nuclear weapons, and that they were a credible threat to our safety. In addition, they informed the public that the Iraqi Government had, and I use this term lightly 'weapons of mass destruction'. None were found. So, they are guilty of lying to the American people, and felt justified in beginning a war in Iraq that was not necessary.
“We know where they are. They're in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south and north somewhat.” - Donald Rumsfeld
Typically, here in America, if you can't do your job the right way, you lose it. Forcefully if need be. - inactive, on 06/12/2008, -5/+11http://www.impeachbush.tv/progress/dk_aoi_bush/
There are 35 articles of impeachment there, and several are certainly crimes. Admittedly, some of the others are dubious. Most would be tough to prove, as Bush has done an amazing job at insulating himself from the worst of it, despite authorizing or allowing others to act criminally in his name (Cheney).
My picks for his criminal indictments: wire-tapping inside US territory without warrant (violating FISA), holding American citizens without due process (violating habeus corpus), using the military as a police force within US borders (violating posse comitatus), "leaking" the identity of a covert CIA operative (violating Intelligence Identities Protection Act), and these are just the things he did in OUR COUNTRY. - soccernamlak, on 06/11/2008, -6/+11I'll pass. I wouldn't touch her with a 50 foot pole.
- Hangly, on 06/12/2008, -1/+6They voted to send it to committee? Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that a death sentence?
- mmmmmbiscuits, on 06/12/2008, -0/+5"it's irrelevant"
MSNBC or the poll? Nah, that's a trick question. They're both irrelevant. - liquisoft, on 06/12/2008, -2/+7Can't we just impeach everybody on the Senate, sans a few good ones, and start over from scratch?
- Diderotten, on 06/12/2008, -0/+5I think you're being dugg down because people don't see how creating an idiot-proof presidency will let "all kinds of minorities and women" into the white house. Your comment needs further explanation
- diggstown, on 06/11/2008, -12/+17So you believe that Internet polls are statistically meaningful huh?
Me too. The Easter Bunny told me so. - Flipperbw, on 06/11/2008, -8/+13front page of cnn:

it's over for now, people...but what the hell, you're going to bury this comment b/c you don't want to face that fact anyway. just figured some of the few rational people on here would care. - CaptEnder, on 06/12/2008, -0/+5I wouldn't touch her with your 50 foot pole.
- inactive, on 06/12/2008, -1/+5Congress couldn't accomplish it in 6 months if they wanted to. They couldn't accomplish ANYTHING within 6 months...... okay other than giving themselves a raise maybe.
- inactive, on 06/11/2008, -3/+749, plus Independents, Joe Lieberman and Bernie Sanders caucasing with the Democrats.
- omgTHEPATRIOTS, on 06/11/2008, -3/+7Preventing them from pardoning everyone under the sun for their crimes isn't 'pointless'
- Carl306, on 06/11/2008, -5/+9As long as you write a check once a year for your taxes, no not really...
- kanabiis, on 06/11/2008, -2/+6As opposed to the rest of his colleagues in congress who have the same fondness but deny it?
At least he was being honest.... - jpd272, on 06/12/2008, -4/+8He will not be impeached. Get over it and get out of the basement once in a while.
- Cuchanu, on 06/11/2008, -3/+7Don't knock it till you've tried it.
- rottencod, on 06/12/2008, -0/+4They sent it to Committee, where it will be filed away and promptly buried.
- inactive, on 06/11/2008, -3/+7Son, it takes 67 votes to impeach and they aren't even close to that..Futile effort
- Cuchanu, on 06/11/2008, -2/+6I think it would be Nancy Pelosi actually because they are trying to impeach Cheney and Bush thank god. It doesn't do any good to only do Bush since Cheney is worse. Would that make those pissed off old white ladies for Clinton happy to see a woman be president? Maybe then they'd vote for Obama.
- bjornski, on 06/12/2008, -4/+8You really can't count LIEberman with the Democrats.
He's an Independent in name only. He's GOP through and though. - JackSchittt, on 06/12/2008, -3/+7I've been saying the same thing. But common sense gets buried in threads like this.
People insist that impeachment matters at this point, and refuse to accept the fact that nothing CAN be done until after he's out of office. The procedures simply take too long.
Can't we just focus on the best ways to repair the damage that Bush has done over the past 8 years instead of hanging on to some pipe dream of an impeachment that will accomplish absolutely NOTHING? - inactive, on 06/12/2008, -1/+5Americans, tsk tsk tsk. You should've impeach bush half a decade ago. You Americans are so late.
