As Joshua noted last week, Democratic presidential candidate and Ohio congressman Dennis Kucinich has introduced articles of impeachment against VP Dick Cheney.

Specifically, there are three charges that the Vice President:

*Fabricated a threat of Iraqi WMD to justify a war of choice

*Fabricated the connection between al Qaeda and Saddam

*Is currently fabricating causes for war on Iran

You can download the complete text of the resolution offered to the House here, or a synopsis here.

American Politics is about middle-of-the-roading, not bravery. And this move by Kucinich, is not only well thought out but downright brave. I support that man and HR 333.

[Report this comment] Posted by: BaruchZed on Apr 25, 2007 10:12 AM Current rating: Not yet rated [1 = poor; 5 = excellent] Contact your Congressman or Congresswoman and ask them to co-sponsor H.333, articles of impeachment against Cheney. Go to your local newspaper's website and post in the comment forum the contact info for your Congressman or Congresswoman, encouraging your neighbors to ask their reps to co-sponsor H.333. Good work Dennis!

He could relocate to Niger. After all, he thought it was such a vacation hot spot that Valerie Plame scored a junket there for her husband.

Way to go Dennis. Come on Democrats, Republicans, citizens in general - here is a chance to stand together and make a statement, an attempt to change this evil assult on our nation before it gets a lot worse. The record of so many wrong doings within this administartion is so threatening to our way of life. This move isn't politics, it's about survival. It's a great start. Come on people, there is something to be gained here. [« Reply to this comment] [Post a new comment »] [Rate this comment: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5] Please, please don't let him get Wellstoned...

Aside from the fact that his images are about 2/3 larger than DK's, the selection is out of control. There's even one near the end where Cheney has a halo. Is it just me or are these conspicuously loaded? [« Reply to this comment] [Post a new comment »] [Rate this comment: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5] » RE: Watch the images of Cheney Posted by: xbj
