State Dems: Impeach Bush
Cheney, Rumsfeld too
By David Callender
June 13, 2005


Wisconsin Democrats are calling for the impeachment of President George W. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.


Loyalists at this weekend's state party convention in Oshkosh passed a resolution calling for Congress to initiate impeachment proceedings against the three officials for their role in the war in Iraq.

The resolution contends that the administration "lied or misled" the United Nations, Congress, and the American public about the justification for the war. It cites the so-called "Downing Street memo" from British Prime Minister Tony Blair's government, as well as reports from U.N. weapons inspectors as evidence of widespread deception.

"Democrats, not only in Wisconsin but throughout the U.S., have been outraged by what we believe has been a clear cover-up of why the U.S. went into Iraq," said newly elected state party Chairman Joe Wineke.

1. keep saying it folks

keep saying it

[AllyCat]

2. Yeah! I suppose it won't go far in the Repug Congress, but

it would be nice to get some press on this. Maybe people would awaken (right). Maybe with a good interim election? Oh wait, I forgot...DLC trying to squash Dean. So that might not happen either.

Joe Wineke...don't like him much after he repeated Matt Drudge lies about Wes Clark on Joy Cardin's NPR show last spring. But he might earn some points with this.

Now we need the same gumption from all state Dem organizations as well as Democratic congress people

10. email address is below--lets all say thanks to the reporter.

........The Nevada state party passed a similar resolution calling for Bush's ouster last year. And both the state and national Green Party, as well as former Green Party presidential candidate Ralph Nader, have called for Bush's impeachment because of his handling of the war in Iraq.

But with both houses of Congress in Republican hands, the resolution will not likely result in any congressional action, said Charles Franklin, a professor of political science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

"It's the sort of thing you might imagine spreads among opposition parties, but it is so far from the political reality of anything that could happen in Washington that it makes your party look a little ridiculous," he said.

What's more, he added, even if the House of Representatives began impeachment proceedings against the president and vice president, "I don't think you can impeach the secretary of defense."

12. Nice to see the newly elected chair standing behind the Dems on this

Wasn't sure if he might downplay it instead.

14. Wisconsin kicks @$$

:yourock: I hope the momentum spreads! Probably won't get this far south in ol Alabama, but one can hope....

16. Can't wait..

To see Sensenbrenner's head spin 360s ;)

18. Why Stop There?

At least include Tom DeLay. And maybe Bill Frist. Oh, and don't forget Lieberman, Biden, and....

[The Doctor.]

19. Believe it or not - Impeachment could be a bad thing...

Derailing the Neo-cons in mid-stride may make us economically vulnerable.

Don't get me wrong, it would be nice to be vindicated, but the only reason China keeps loaning us money is because if they don't the Neo-cons will have to step up invasion plans. Without the threat of these despots, the world may pull the rug out.

Sure, the alternative of letting these people stay in office isn't pretty, but they have lied, cheated, stolen and probably killed a lot of people (war aside) to get this game on. If we pull them now we could be in a lot of trouble because we may not wind up the 'last nation standing'.
