Kucinich on Bush, Cheney: "Don't Wait, Impeach Them Now!" [VIDEO]

Posted by Adam Howard, AlterNet at 4:53 AM on November 17, 2007.


At the Democratic Debate in Las Vegas, Kucinich took his fellow candidates to task for giving the Bush Administration the benefit of the doubt.

The Democrats' debate in Las Vegas has been largely viewed as a victory for Hillary Clinton and a loss for CNN. Wolf Blitzer managed to prove yet again how far his network has fallen in terms of substance. Diamonds or pearls anyone? Anyway, there were few "great" moments in this debate. But I would argue that this is one.

Dennis Kucinich never gets enough credit and is far too often marginalized at these debates, with laughs generated at his expense with questions about UFOs, but this question he hit out of the park. His integrity and honesty cuts like a knife here. For instance when Blitzer mentions that Kucinich was one of the only congressmen voted against the Patriot Act, he says, "That's because I read it." Check it out the clip to your right to see what I mean.

Kucinich Now! though it's probably too late.....

I'm voting for Kucinich in the primary and as a write-in, if necessary, in the November election. If my vote helps make Guiliani president, his particular political horror show--which is exactly what it will be--may contribute to the final extinction of the arrogant mindless tribal pattern the US has been for a good part of its existence.

It's probably too late even for Kucinich and Gore and Amy Goodman and others with their wisdom and vision to stave off the outcomes looming over the horizon. I often wonder whether the election of people with the honesty and integrity of Dennis Kucinich et. al. to public office since the inception of the nation would have reduced the taint of genocide and greed on our own history. Were that the case, we would have developed the ability and earned the right to contribute to an international dialogue addressing urgent global issues.

Only as radical a shift as electing people like Kucinich to re-route the raft offers any possibility of minimizing the effects of years of selfish stupidity. Only such a radical shift would give us the right and the credibility to speak in a world forum.

As it is, however, I have little to no faith that such a shift is in the cards. And so it will probably continue to be that any individual or nation listening to official US Orwellian-Patriot-Act-Speak is as damned as we.

First the Mayor of Salt Lake City gives a blast off speech then Dennis in lost wages. Maybe the tires on the wagon just broke loose a little--got to keep those wheels moving.

Need to do as Eric Hoffer suggested--want to know what scares your opponent--look at what he uses to try and scare you with. Maybe a threat of real physical harm to some well placed persons would be in order--let them understand what fear feels like. Crazy Carlos

SENATOR KUCINICH ON IMPEACHMENT
Posted by: karim29007 on Nov 17, 2007 7:51 AM   
Current rating: 4    [1 = poor; 5 = excellent]
My dear SENATOR,

ON BEHALF OF EVERY BODY INTERESTED TO PUT STOP TO KILLINGS, GENOCIDES AND DESTRUCTIONS, THANK YOU.

THE FIRST STEP IN A RIGHT DIRECTION.

I have not doubt that someone as knowledgeable and exprienced as yourself is fully aware of the UNDERLYING REASONS for the disastrous course of events that has taken place, specifically since the last six years or so.

AMERICA HAS GOT ZIONIST PROBLEM.

AND UNTL THIS PROBLEM GETS SOLVED, whatever happens, are just the SYMPTOMS.

With the control of the nation in the hands of the ZIONISTS, impeaching or changing regime in Washington would be a temporary measure and it will not take long before the all powerfull ZIONIST'S NETWORK ORGANIZATION TO INSTALL ANOTHER OF THE SAME OR WITH DIFFERENT COLOR!

ALL THE NECESSARY LEGAL CHANNELS AND MECHANIZEMS ARE AVAIABLE TO STOP AIPAC AND THEIR AFFILATED NETWORKS.

UNLESS THE CAUSE IS REMOVED, THE SYMPTOMS CONTNUES TO APPEAR AND TO GROW AS ANY CANCEROUS-CELL DOES.

There is nobody close to him. He's the most righteous candidate. He has the most virtue.
Support him. FORCE the media to pay attention to him. Send lots and lots of email in support of him.

He's right on every issue.

Check out:

http://www.dennis4president.com/go/issues/

Don't believe the media pundits when they say he "can't win." He has ALREADY won by speaking the truth and taking righteous action with the impeachment of Cheney.

Please support him with your thoughts, words and deeds.

They think they are so cute asking "simple" questions for yes or no answers! Why don't they just require thumbs up, thumbs down?

The questions are only simple to the moderator simpletons. Asking a light-hearted question? Whose stupid idea was that? Why are they wasting interested viewers' time?

I am SO GLAD that Kucinich and other candidates continued talking when Blitzer tried doing his circus trainer act!

It's clear Blitzer is spending too much time suing his neighbor in an unChristian-like manner and not enough thinking about the issues that face you and me- and our democracy, such as it is!

Impeach Cheney...then Bush, but Cheney First
Posted by: gr_pramenko on Nov 17, 2007 8:54 AM   
Current rating: 4    [1 = poor; 5 = excellent]
The cruel & crazy Roman Emporer Caligula has something in common with Dick Cheney and George W. Bush...but to a greater extent with Cheney. For that reason an "up or down" vote
has to be brought out of committee (H. Res 799)
and sent to the House Floor.
You ask, "What is it that is the common link between Caligula and Cheney-Bush? All three of them believed in "Imperial Rule".
Caligula even defined it! It means rule where
the leader has the right to "rigid inflexibility"!
Cheney developed an even more sophisticated form of "rigid inflexibility" and sold it to the naive and inexperienced George W. Bush, who
then bought into it "lock, stock, and barrel".
And Bush and Cheney then got Alberto Gonzales,
Rumsfeld, Addington, Feith, Steve Bradbury (acting head of OLC), et al, to follow along!
Therefore, if we are to continue as a democracy, we have to break the tone that Cheney developed and established for Executive
Branch Behavior...otherwise Tyranny will rule.
The change can only begin if and when the Impeachment of Dick Cheney reaches the Floor of the House of Representatives for an up or down vote.

Kucinich won my vote and my support
Posted by: Intellect on Nov 17, 2007 8:56 AM   
Current rating: 5    [1 = poor; 5 = excellent]
I have just decided which candidate I will back and which campaign I will work for - which candidate for whom I will devote my time, energy and money - Kucinich.

I reached my decision primarily because of his response on the last "debate" - when Blitzer, who was running the dog and pony show called a "debate" keep trying to shut him up and Kucinich kept telling us the answer to what was necessary to do to prevent this renegade, criminal administration from doing even more damage than they had already done to our country.

"You impeach them! You impeach them NOW!....NOW!"

Kucinich is right!

Cheney, and then Bush must be impeached now! Now!

Now! - before they can start another war of choice!
Now! - before they can destroy our Constitution to the point that the damage is beyond repair!
Now! - in order to return our country to the “nation of laws” that it was before and must be in the future order for our democracy to survive as we have always known it - with a government that is not so blatantly corrupt that it has lost all respect and whose elected leaders honor their oaths to honor and protect the Constitution and to obey the law.


Previously I had been of the opinion that we needed to support whichever candidate seemed to be the "most electable" in order to defeat the criminal Republicans in the next election, and to a degree that remains true- but after the Democratic Party Convention and after the Democratic candidate is chosen, and hopefully Kucinich's positions will win him enough popular approval by then for him to become the Democratic candidate.

I am so sick of the do nothing Democratic Party of today with its do nothing members of Congress whom we worked so hard to get elected, especially Pelosi, Reid and Hoyer who do nothing to obstruct the Bush administration and their co-conspiratorial Republican rubber-stamp members of Congress.


This criminal out of control administration has committed treason –
by fabricating and presenting false "evidence" to Congress in order to ensnare our country in the fiasco of their pre-emptive invasion and continuing war in Iraq; for not protecting our country by pursuing our enemy, the ones that did attack us - Al Qaeda and the Taliban, our real enemies that this administration has chosen to ignore and allow to regroup to pose an even greater threat to us and the rest of the world than they did before and who are in Afghanistan and Pakistan, not Iraq; for not securing our ports and borders so that enemies of our country can not simply just cross the border unimpeded and set up cells to attack us, or have the ability to ship a dirty bomb to one of their cells through one of our unprotected ports using container that will not be inspected; for committing the crime of sabotage by conspiring to out one of our covert spies - a crime of treason that by law carries the death penalty in time of war; And for committing so many more crimes against America than can be counted.

And, what have our elected Democrat members of Congress done about any of the above?

NOTHING!!!

Except for Kucinich.

Its the best one ever. I don't blame anyone for voting for Kucinich. I want someone honest in there for a change and he just proved it with his OUTSTANDING COURAGE. What a brave man amongs such whimps. It actually makes their lack of courage very highlighted.

Sometimes in the course of human events some one emerges that shines a light so bright it blocks out all other nuances. the rest of those politicians were just reduced to nuances.

i should say more clearly, why does the fake left not respect him.

he's the only guy to have the balls to stand up for what is right and what so obviously needs to be done (impeachment),
yet while he is standing up ALONE to do the right thing, those freakin shills at the daily show are asking his wife to come on their show so they can stare at her tits (remember the FLILF thang at exactly the same time as kuchinich's attempt to loose cheney?)...

these guys should be picketted, and kucinich should be applauded loudly and often.

I refuse to vote once again for the least harmful of the "win-ables." Dennis has been my candidate from the start. No one else comes close in intelligence, integrity, and spunk than Dennis Kucinich (perhaps Gore, but he refuses to enter the race).
Hope this mass-media, tv-controlled, rather stupid citizenry wakes up and votes for him before hell takes complete control.

are Dennis & Elizabeth Kucinich.

The shameless CNN Blood, Diamonds & Pearls Debate was an obviouis mockery of everything Democratic. Boycott CNN (and email their advertisers about why) then Vote your heart, Vote Kucinich in 08!

FYI: Dennis just won the (online) DFA poll & majority vote with 37%. He even won in TEXAS with 27%!
His campaign is building momentum. Do not allow the bought and paid for pundits to convince you he can not win.

Send him your money and give him your time.

Wolf Blitzer is a disgrace to cut Kucinich off when he was saying what all Progressives think and feel! "Fringe" element? I think NOT! Kucinich is a man of integrity who has gotten it right the first time and the GOP and their "bought corporate media" are scared to death of him! Don't believe their rush to make Hillary our candidate! Kucinich is the true representative of our basic and important social and human values! Let's prove the DFA poll correct and elect him in at least 41 states!

I do. If Dennis could win just a few states, he would have a bargaining tool with electoral votes to have some effect at the Democratic convention. If he could just get some of his ideas into the Democratic platform, it would be a "win" for the people. My state (Oregon) has no effect on the primaries unless we could get a win for Dennis. How many other states are left in the dust like Oregon? I am so tired of the media telling me who I vote for.

Dem Debate lack of seriousness on Empire

I can't believe as one versed and committed to the unique and historical American experiment in democracy that none of the Dems answered Wolf's inane question, "human rights OR national defense?", with the most famous quote from one of our founding fathers on the subject:

“Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.” Franklin

Kucinich was not given a chance on this question by the Wolf --- but one hopes that Dennis would have replied as Franklin.

After all, liberty is human rights.

Dennis is the only candidate who has the courage and integrity to speak this way.

I watched the entire debate on television, and it was far into the debate before Dennis was asked even one question! I feel he was ignored, and this is shameful behavior on the part of CNN! All news people who try to ignore and marginalize him ought to hang their heads in shame because they are doing the American people a grave disservice. Also, Wolf did ask several pointless, leading, and trivial questions of the candidates. Dennis was the only person with the clarity and presence of mind to call him on it.

I am a loyal Democrat, and I will more than likely support whoever my party elects, but far and away Dennis is the only one who has the clear vision, the guts, the intellect and the right stuff to lead our country out of the slimy pit, and to make our country great country again.

The other Democratic candidates, and probably one Republican, Ron Paul, could in all likelihood be good enough, but Dennis is the only one capable of restoring our country to integrity, peace, and greatness. With anyone else, even with someone who seems like a relatively good choice, we are risking too much. Dennis is the best choice.

God bless Dennis. America needs him....desperately.

Even if it means hand-counting the votes and actually talking to people we don't know. C'mon people!!! :) Americans are a nice bunch, once you get to know them!! Let's get out there and get a REAL president.

SENATOR KUCINCH ON BUSH/CHENEY
Posted by: karim29007 on Nov 18, 2007 5:58 AM   
Current rating: Not yet rated    [1 = poor; 5 = excellent]
AIPAC: SLUR OF ANTI-SEMITE
--------------------------
THE slur of "anti-semite" has been used to intimidate critics of ZIONISTS' abuse of AMERICANS, OR FOR THAT MATTER ANYBODY ELSE AROUND THE WORLD.

Take the case of president JIMMY CARTER.

A man of dignity, experience and with the knowledge of inside-workings of the W/H.

"IT IS NOT A FENCE, IT IS WALL" he said.

With that short sentence he bought himself the
anathema of the ZIONISTS and ever since has been PLAGUED with their abuses on every available occasion.

(Satelite's photos shows this rather interesting fence!!)

Normally AIPAC HAS ITS APRIL annual fund raising dinner at a modest $1,000 per sit!

REPS and DEMS with upwards of 60% of their campaign contributions coming directly or indirectly from THE ZIONISTS' Lobby, SPECIFICALLY UNDER THE AIPAC'S INSTRUCTIONS, and hence the congressmen ARE NOT FREE TO RESPOND TO THEIR BASES.

ANY DEVIATION FROM THE SAID DISCIPLINE opens them for instance, to an antiwar electoral challenge on the Left or Right from THOSE NOT SUBSERVIENT TO AIPAC.

And that could cost them their next election, a little thing which makes them rather worry!!

Take the case:

AIPAC was able to unseat representatives and senators who could not be BOUGHT OR COUNTED ON to support THE ZIONISTS without qualification, such as Sen. Charles Percy (R-IL), Rep. Paul Findley (R-OH) and Rep. Pete McCloskey (R-CA)".

Take the case:

When Congressman Michael Capuano WAS asked:
"Why was the Iran clause, forbidding war on Iran without Congressional approval taken out of the recent supplemental for the Iraq war funding?"
The answer:
"AIPAC!"

THAT IS WHY HOW THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS, IRAQIS, AFGHANS AND PALESTINIANS HAVE DIED SO FAR.

THE SLAUGHTHER AND GENOCIDE WILL CONTINUE SO LONG AS THE ZIONISTS ARE ALLOWED TO RUN OUR LIVES.

Kucinich got huge approval fromt he audience, including the soldier who has done 3 tours in Iraq and his mom, when he mentioned impeachment. Why does the media not get that the people want Bush and Cheney to pay for their crimes?

Dennis is the only real Democrat running. John Edwards is trying to tell people that Hillary is a DLC shill, but he's not saying it clearly enough. Even he isn't what we need though - we need Kucinich to end the war and clean up this mess.

Democratic Party: Soft on Criminals Bush and Cheney
Posted by: left_libertarian on Nov 18, 2007 2:53 PM   
Current rating: 5    [1 = poor; 5 = excellent]
With the sole exception of Mr Kucinich, all of the Democratic candidates do not support putting Bush and Cheney on trial for their criminal activity.

Probably because they want the same amount of imperial power as Bush/Cheney.

If Hillary Clinton gets elected, she will continue Bush's foreign policy. Instead of immediate withdrawal from Iraq because it is an illegal war, she would continue to have a US military presence. Her position is on Iraq and Iran is clear. Instead of getting out, she wants to use Iraq as a base from which to threaten Iran:

"I do not believe that we should allow this to be an open-ended commitment without limits or end, nor do I believe that we can or should pull out of Iraq immediately. If last December's elections lead to a successful Iraqi government, that should allow us to start drawing down our troops during this year while leaving behind a smaller contingent in safe areas with greater intelligence and quick-strike capabilities. This will help us stabilize that new Iraqi government. It will send a message to Iran that they do not have a free hand in Iraq despite their considerable influence and person
