I know everyone thinks that Kucinich’s dogged campaign to get either Bush or the Veep impeached is an exercise in futility, but I for one applaud him. Every time a poll snakes out talking about impeachment, at the very least a large chunk of the country likes the idea, if not an out and out majority.
“Congress must hold the Vice President accountable. The American people need to let Members of Congress know how they feel about this. The Vice President continues to use his office to advocate for a continued occupation of Iraq and prod our nation into a belligerent stance against Iran. If the Vice President is successful, his actions will ensure decades of disastrous consequences.”
Exactly. If we can impeach a president for lying about sex/notsex, then we can impeach a Vice President for, well, the laundry list of things he’s done and overseen.
The 43rd president has been characterized by, among other things, a complete lack of accountability. It’d be nice if that would finally start to get fixed.
I agree. In fact I think both the pres and the v.p. should be impeached, and am appalled that it has not happened yet. I mean if they can impeach Clinton, what keeps these two liars and sneaks immune from impeachment. Kudos to Kucinich for taking on such an impossibly hard task.
We obviously still don’t have enough people in Congress with balls big enough to take on this job.
You realize, of course, that as soon as impeachment hearings are started, accusations of being anti-freedom, anti-war, pro-terrorist and all that other bullshit will start… and no one has the stomach for it this close to an election.
Sad that we’re over a year to the 2008 elections and people are too afraid to try and do what everyone knows is right. Despite the majority supporting it.
Why is it the Republicans still have the bully pulpit? Doesn’t make sense to me.
