We can stimulate the economy in a HUGE way quite easily... IMPEACH
Edited on Fri Jan-25-08 01:59 PM by Patmccccc
Start the F*&&ing impeachment process!! After all we now have the list of 935 lies. "JESUS, Isn't that enough Nancy?"

The healing can only then begin. We cannot allow them to go free till the next election. I assure you they have something(s) up their sleeve for the election.

5. Yes...
...he was, for one lie under oath to a Federal prosecutor.

There's no Special Prosecutor. There have been no hearings The primaries have started.

The Bush administration is over and the quicker we can get his ass out of town, the better off we will be.

There will be no impeachment.

6. You can still impeach a president even after he has left office.
The Constitution says that you Congress has the ability to remove a president from office, but it doesn't specify if the president has to be a sitting president.

8. You Don't...
...and the Founding Fathers assumed we'd have enough sense to figure that out.

You can't impeach someone just because you disagree with him. Pat Caddell has discussed this at some length.

The second Bush era is over. The war is winding down and there's a financial collapse in progress.

There will be no impeachment. We don't have time for it and the leadership doesn't want it. One can't help but wonder if either Hillary or Pelosi herself isn't behind all the pressure that's being placed on Kucinich's seat right now. Something happened, someone made a phone call. I think that's clear.

You're not getting rid of Pelosi, either. She comes from a safe district...that's why they made her Speaker. Seal Team Six couldn't get rid of her now.

And finally, if you don't like it...you can leave the party. Many people in the Bay Area are doing precisely that.

What it boils down to is that progressives have nowhere else to go. They know it and the Democratic leadership knows it. What are they gonna do, vote Republican? I think not.

It's called life.

2. Bush must be impeached.
It is no longer about Bush, not about how became president or his personality or his competency. It is about the rule of law. When Clinton was president, the Republicans impeached him to show, they said, that the president is not above the law.

3. Nancy doesn't have a choice does she?
Isn't there a procedure (the articles of impeachment) that MUST be enforced in situations exactly like this? I have always been confused by this.

4. there is no such procedure
Edited on Fri Jan-25-08 02:02 PM by onenote
the procedure to which I think you are referring is the privileged motion route that kucinich tried with his cheney impeachment resolution. As was demonstrated, that approach doesn't force consideration of the impeachment resoluton nor even debate on it.

11. Has It Completely...
...escaped you that, all of a sudden, he's dropping out of the presidential race and trying to defend his seat?

He never worried about that seat and all of a sudden he's at risk of losing it?

Those kinds of things don't happen for no reason.

12. the reason its happening is that some folks think he's vulnerable
because they feel that he's neglected the district while running for president. As for never worrying about the seat, he knows that just because you're an incumbent, re-election is guaranteed. He lost a re-election bid as Mayor of Cleveland early in his career and lost several other electoral bids after that until his comeback as a member of the State Senate led to his election to Congress.

Seems to me that's the reason.

14. Frankly...
...I'm originally from up there, and a lot of people not only think he's neglected his district but also think he's the source of a lot of bad press for a city and region that's on its back.

I'll be there in February when my wife visits a knee specialist. What I will likely find are further degraded demographics from what I saw five years ago, in addition to the legions of unemployed and underemployed that all my relatives and friends talk about on the phone.

I remember when Mary Rose Oakar had that seat and I'll tell you right now she was a damn sight better than Kucinich. She didn't constantly have her sights set on other things. Those people need help.

13. Yeah, the t-shirt sales alone would...
...stimulate the economy like a grainy porn movie does to a trenchcoat-wearing jerkoff in the back row.
