Impeach Cheney?
Posted by Andy on April 24th, 2007
APN) ATLANTA – US Rep. Kucinich (D-OH) is about to unveil Articles of Impeachment against Vice President of the United States Dick Cheney at a press conference tomorrow, Tuesday, April 24, 2007. Both Kucinich’s Campaign and Congressional Offices have thus far maintained a veil of secrecy about the rationale for the Articles.
Kucinich’s step is certainly bold and substantively appropriate, but it is only one stage in what has been the Congressman’s shifting in political posture towards impeachment as a remedy to the abuses of the Bush Administration.
This, of course, may still not be the end of the shift, because Bush himself still hasn’t been recommended for impeachment yet in this Congressional Session.
Sadly the feverswamp fringe left has figured out the error in thei plans to impeach Bush because they don’t like his policies.
One of the main arguments against is impeaching Bush is regarding the possibility of a President Cheney; however, the bill to impeach Cheney would eliminate this issue.
That’s right. Democrats can’t beat Bush and Cheney at the polls, so they will win the battle through procedure.
Oddly enough, MN’s own feverswamp Rep. Ellison (D MN5) has been meeting with the fringe impeachment crowds here in his MN offices.
And another little tidbit worth noting…. Rep. Betty McCollum (D MN4) supported the Impeachment of Bush in the last session of Congress.
It sure will be interesting if the local media will cover how 2 members of our Congressional Delegation have supported or are considering the Impeachment of Bush and or Cheney.
This should be a message to Congressional Republicans fleeing the Bush admin for the upcoming 2008 election. If you continue to turn your back on your friend in the White House, his polls will fall even further, and you’ll be SOL when you need to have those big money fundraisers. Be careful how far and why you distance yourself, Bush won’t be on the ballot. Just saying.
