- stormkrow, on 01/16/2008, -7/+108Call, write, scream it from the top of your lungs. At this point a Jr High Debate class could impeach these evil men.
- inactive, on 01/16/2008, -7/+90I've called my Congressman.
- mrpicklepants, on 01/16/2008, -3/+61The video is cut off at the end. When Wexler is done, you hear applause. Madam speaker Pelosi has to say "The gallery will refrain from applause...".
http://www.wexlerforcongress.com/news.asp?ItemID=2 ... - RealSurreal, on 01/16/2008, -8/+66Man this fired me up, keep kicking ass Robert Wexler you are a Real American in my eyes. Impeach NOW!
- Hockey13, on 01/16/2008, -14/+62I might be dugg down for this, but up until this time, I felt an impeachment process would not help as we should focus on who will next be in charge of the executive branch. After watching this video and reading up a little on the issue, I'm strongly in favor of Congress picking up its testicles and looking up the words "checks" and "balances."
Impeach the *****. Impeach him raw. - smaisch, on 01/16/2008, -6/+51Thank you Congressman Wexler. You are true American. I am proud to be one of those 189,000 you presented to the House today.
We need to set an example for the future! We will not stand for this! - jenniferstruth, on 01/16/2008, -7/+46impeach, indict, imprison!
- DavidYeah, on 01/16/2008, -8/+45The partisans in the Republican party are incapable of objectively looking at the president and vice presidents actions and coming to the conclusion we all came to years ago. If we aren't impeaching after Bush and Cheney leave office, you're inviting the imperial presidency some time in the future.
- ats314, on 01/16/2008, -8/+36I got chills up my spine just thinking of the day when we here "Cheney has been impeached." It would go along way in restoring my faith in America.
- Loonacy, on 01/16/2008, -1/+28I called my Congressman and he told me he likes hookers and cocaine because they're fun.
- gendjinn, on 01/16/2008, -0/+21I wish a heckler had responded "Or what? You STILL won't impeach the bastards?"
- jenniferstruth, on 01/16/2008, -1/+20that they are benefitting from his corruption and don't dare mess with their cut.
- enivid, on 01/16/2008, -1/+20How much does a bear cost?
- kingofthescreen, on 01/16/2008, -0/+17If I knew where to buy him a bear I most certainly would.
- DavidYeah, on 01/16/2008, -1/+15I care not for platitudes, not even someone who is critical of the administration. And to say that the criticism of the administration does not go any further than something that amounts to nursery rhyme means you're not paying attention.
- wrxpert, on 01/16/2008, -0/+13We should all write this Congresswoman and tell her how history will be the harshest judge of our cowardly Congress that would not stop one or the most outrageous war profiteering acts of all time.
- raoulduke87, on 01/16/2008, -2/+14War profiteering.
There's a little company called Halliburton, I don't know if you've heard of it...You know what? I was going to write a really drawn out, sarcastic and belittling response about how Cheney is making money from the no-bid contracts, blahblahblah, ***** and ruckus just to be funny and get a cheap laugh out of your stupidity, but I'm not going to waste my time. It's funny enough that you actually believe that nothing illegal has been done. - AndrewDB, on 01/16/2008, -0/+12Wow.. congrats, you have a Congressional member who's a cop-out.
- ButterBuddha, on 01/16/2008, -2/+14& execute
- ImagineFreedom, on 03/12/2008, -0/+12History will be the harshest judge? Is that what you tell all other victims of crime? 'Don't worry about pressing charges, history will the harshest judge of your rapist/thief/murderer.'
I almost prefer when my reps don't respond because all they ever do is make excuses. - vwvan, on 01/16/2008, -6/+17finally. someone stands up to the bullies of the bush administration.
george bush sr. and his sons, are indistinguishable from saddam and his sons.
let the body count do the talking. - Hockey13, on 01/16/2008, -2/+13I'm not a member of the "liberal kook fringe." I'm simply a citizen who believes my government should not be ruled by a dictator and that fear of reprisal is one of the best ways to control the executive branch.
- jenniferstruth, on 01/16/2008, -2/+13but it is telling the truth and it is an arguement for impeachment because he lied and invaded a nation. He is guilty of war-crimes and he is guilty of dismantleing the constitution in order to allow all of his criminal acts. if you need a list get back to me and I will provide it.
- laughmore, on 01/16/2008, -4/+15called here as well this week,
Here a email I received from my rep. that's so sad, just look at what Kucinich has been saying or http://www.digg.com/politics/All_the_Evidence_You_ ...
Dear Sir ,
As I work to meet the needs and priorities of our community and the nation, please know how much I appreciate having the benefit of your views. In particular, I am pleased to share with you my views on impeaching members of the Bush administration.
Throughout the 109th Congress, my Democratic colleagues and I fought to hold the Bush Administration accountable for their failed and reckless policies, particularly with respect to their conduct of the Iraq war and the war on terror. Unfortunately, the Republican-led Congress refused to allow for oversight of the Administration and blocked many of these efforts. Many Americans are justifiably dismayed by this lack of accountability, and they demanded change.
That is why my Democratic colleagues and I are conducting serious oversight of the Bush Administration in the 110th session of Congress. We have probed the Administration's conduct in the lead-up to the war, demanded accountability for their failures, investigated the use of political considerations in Department of Justice activities, and pressured the President to change course in Iraq . I believe that impeachment hearings would not benefit our nation and would instead distract us from achieving our national priorities like securing our homeland, winning the war on terror, and bringing our troops home from Iraq . I also believe history will be the harshest judge of the Bush Administration.
Again, thank you for contacting me. Please do not hesitate to contact me again if I can help in any way, and rest assured I will continue to demand accountability from the Bush Administration. Also, if you would like to stay informed of my work, or sign up for my e-newsletters, please visit my Web site at www.house.gov/Schwartz.
Sincerely,
Allyson Y. Schwartz
Member of Congress - inactive, on 01/16/2008, -2/+12A pretty nice list:
1. "A Crime Against Peace." Initiating a war of aggression against a nation that posed no immediate threat to the U.S.--a war that has needlessly killed 2550 Americans and maimed and damaged over 20,000 more, while killing over 100,000 innocent Iraqi men, women and children, is the number one war crime according to the Nuremberg Charter, a document which was largely drawn up by American lawyers after World War II.
2. Lying and organizing a conspiracy to trick the American people and the U.S. Congress into approving an unnecessary and illegal war. This is defined as "A Conspiracy to Commit a Crime Against Peace" in the Nuremberg Charter, to which the U.S. is a signatory.
3. Approving and encouraging, in violation of U.S. and international law, the use of torture, kidnapping and rendering of prisoners of war captured in Iraq and Afghanistan and in the course of the so-called War on Terror. Note that the Hamdan decision actually declares Bush to have violated the Third Geneva Convention on Treatment of Prisoners of War, which means the justices are in effect calling the president a war criminal. Under U.S. and international law, if prisoners have died because of such a violation--and many have died in illegal US captivity because of torture authorized by this president--the penalty is death (a point made to the president in a warning memo written by his then White House counsel Alberto Gonzales, the text of which is published in full in the appendix of our book).
4. Illegally stripping the right of citizenship and the protections of the Constitution from American citizens, denying them the fundamental right to have their cases heard in a court, to hear the charges against them, to be judged in a public court by a jury of their peers, and to have access to a lawyer.
5. Authorizing the spying on American citizens and their communications by the National Security Agency and other U.S. police and intelligence agencies, in violation of the First and Fourth Amendments and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).
6. Obstructing investigation into and covering up knowledge of the deliberate exposing of the identity of a U.S. CIA undercover operative, and possibly conspiring in that initial outing itself.
7. Obstructing the investigation into the 9-11 attacks and lying to investigators from the Congress and the bi-partisan 9-11 Commission--actions that come perilously close to treason. (Former Florida Senator Bob Graham, who headed the Senate Intelligence Committee until his retirement at the end of 2002, has called this the president's most impeachable crime.)
8. Violating the due process and other constitutional rights of thousands of citizens and legal residents by rounding them up and disappearing or deporting them without hearings.
9. Abuse of power, undermining of the Constitution and violating the presidential oath of office by deliberately refusing to administer over 750 acts duly passed into law by the Congress--actions with if left unchallenged would make the Congress a vestigial body, and the president a dictator.
10. Criminal negligence in failing to provide American troops with adequate armor before sending them into a war of choice, criminal negligence in going to war against a weak, third-world nation without any planning for post war occupation and reconstruction, criminal negligence in failing to respond to a known and growing crisis in the storm-blasted city of New Orleans, and criminal negligence in failing to act, and in fact in actively obstructing efforts by other countries and American state governments, to deal with the looming crisis of global warming.
source:http://www.opednews.com/articles/opedne_dave_lin_0 ... - defektiv, on 01/16/2008, -2/+12people need to start understanding that impeachment is not only justified here, but required. every other legal attempt to get even the simplest of answers from these cowards has been met with blatant disrespect and disregard for the constitution and the rule of law. they've done everything from lie under oath about recollections to grant pardons and executive privilege to subvert the only means of forcing people to answer questions.
impeachment is literally the only way left to force them to do what is required under law and common sense. impeachment is only a trial. the fact it is being avoided like the plague only speaks to me of more reason to hide everything. this would be suspect in any other situation. period. - mwalker05, on 01/16/2008, -4/+14im gonna go ahead and thank colbert for this. after all he would never have been reelected without the old colbert bump.
- ncc74656m, on 01/16/2008, -2/+11Like ending a war based on very intentional and carefully planned lies?
Like the intentional outing of an undercover CIA agent?
Like the partisan takeover of the Justice Department?
You're right. There are important things. And they all lay at the doorstep of Cheney's office. - djohnmalkovich2, on 01/16/2008, -3/+12They should take Pelosy with them, what a *****. She has done nothing but spit in the face of the American people. The Democrats were elected to stop the war and to stand up to this administration and they have done neither.
- ncc74656m, on 01/16/2008, -1/+10So let's make out point. Impeach the bastards. If we lose, there's no shame in trying. If we win, they all go to federal-pound-me-in-the-ass-prison.
- PresRob, on 01/16/2008, -2/+11I agree they should be impeached. If only for the torture issue. We have made ourselves look as bad, if not worse than anyone else.
- hackiavelli, on 01/16/2008, -1/+10Buy that man a hooker and some cocaine
/Better Know a District - ehalasey, on 01/16/2008, -1/+10Should say:

Big Fat Coward
I like how her letter immediately changes subject from discussing persuing accountability to "I believe that impeachment hearings would not benefit our nation . . ." For *****'s sake. She couldn't see that was a glaring non sequitir? - inactive, on 01/16/2008, -4/+13And yet, congress can't. What does that tell you?
- MonsterChaOS, on 01/16/2008, -3/+12Moin, don't you get bored of being a rightwing shill?
- green67, on 01/16/2008, -4/+13wow..@moin1097.....you're a complete and total *****.....ahhh...poor baby.....did somebody lose there job to a person who works harder for less money?....and doesn't kick the dog and beat their family?....you're an idiot....just go back to your throne and read the paper.....and then use it to wipe your ass...and don't forget to flush.
- mfontain, on 01/16/2008, -2/+11Hmmm, I wonder what the best way to find out what illegal things they've done.... Perhaps we could hold hearings!
- JigoroKano, on 01/16/2008, -1/+10If we can't impeach Bush and Cheney, nobody will ever be impeached for anything legitimate.
It's a matter of principle and America has none. - laserdog, on 01/16/2008, -1/+9It's the citizen's job to get angry. "Bush lied, people died" in a march fits the bill there.
It's the job of the congressman to protect our government.
If they give these guys a pass, what would a president have to *do* to get impeached? - creoderiot, on 01/16/2008, -0/+8I tried to send her the following message (but she only accepts emails from people who have a zip code in her district!!) - do you have a zip code i can use??
Dear Representative Schwartz
I read your reply re: impeachment. I am referring specifically to the following sentence: "I believe that impeachment hearings would not benefit our nation and would instead distract us from achieving our national priorities like securing our homeland, winning the war on terror, and bringing our troops home from Iraq."
We, the American public, are tired of your excuses. There is nothing more important than making sure that our elected leaders behave according to our constitution and the laws that all of us are required to obey.
Stop wasting our time and get in there and do your job! - EricPeters, on 01/16/2008, -2/+9So is mine. Regardless of what happens, at least we can always say that we tried.
- MasterInsan0, on 01/16/2008, -1/+8I'm willing to spend that money if it means the government will understand that I'm okay with impeaching the bastards if they screw up.
- Gemfinder, on 01/17/2008, -1/+8Nixon lied: No-one died.
Bill Clinton lied: No-one died.
Cheney lied: Hundreds of thousands died.
Yeah, I think they definitely have a case. Congress first, next stop The Hague. - seraphisset, on 01/16/2008, -9/+16Cheney - Your time has come.
- StarlessKnight, on 01/16/2008, -1/+8Oh, I do so enjoy looking forward to how our "leaders" can continue to "***** up" our country administration after administration! It does sound so terribly enjoyable. How can I contribute to our continual decline and inevitable collapse?
Stop getting over it. Whether you believe Bush and his administration is the devil or a saint, I would hope you would agree that any criminal found in our government would be punished rather than congratulated by ignoring them. - MasterInsan0, on 01/16/2008, -0/+6Yeah, obviously Cheney's power level is OVER NINE THOUSAND!!!!!
...my point? krnldmp forgot to consider anime too. - ncc74656m, on 01/16/2008, -1/+7You're just trying to cover up for your boys! This is the same ***** that's been said for four years!
"Oh, don't worry about impeaching them. It'd take too long," or "It'd take too much money," or "You're just so full of hate that you can't see the best president EVAR when you see him." Go to hell, Neocon scumbag. How's that for hate? Bitch. - gandhii, on 01/16/2008, -0/+6There are a very very small minority of mostly honest people in congress that are dismissed as "crazy" by the majority of crazy ones.
- enki25, on 01/16/2008, -0/+6To fundamentalist republicans, anything Democrats do is equally as bad as the worst failures of the Bush administration. Politics is a sporting event to these people.
- poppieprong, on 01/16/2008, -0/+6It's not really that he's too powerful. It's that the Congress is too scared of its own shadow to actually do anything.
