Dennis Kucinich is HOT on the blogs!!!!!!



Dennis Kucinich Pushing to Impeach Bush Again
Dennis Kucinich is a phenomenal human being.
The scrappy Ohio Congressman and two-time Democratic presidential hopeful has 35 different reasons for the impeachment George W. Bush.

Dennis Kucinich speaks truth to power
Rep Dennis Kucinich introduced 35 articles of impeachment for George Bush yesterday for high crimes and misdemeanors, like creating a secret propaganda campaign to start the war with Iraq. At this time there is hardly anything in the MSM about this. C&L has some of the video from C Span. Dennis Kucinich is the only man brave enough to stand up for the US constitution.

Dennis Kucinich Impeachment
Dennis Kucinich seems like my kinda guy. Dennis Kucinich has been against the Iraq war right from the very start and has called for the impeachment of President George W. Bush because of war crimes he has committed. Last year Dennis Kucinich called for the impeachment of Vice President Dick Cheney but it was unsuccessful. I’m really glad that there are people like Dennis Kucinich around to do this sort of thing.

Rep. Dennis Kucinich reads his impeachment resolution against George W. Bush on the floor of the House yesterday
You gotta love, Dennis Kucinich! I know I do. He may be little, but man, he’s got balls the size of the Bush White House’s ego!

http://orangejuiceblog.com/2008/06/first-in-oc-dennis-kucinich-introduces-filibuster-of-impeachment/

The lame duck just got a little lamer tonight as Daily Kos is reporting that Dennis Kucinich has introduced Articles of Impeachment against President George Walker Bush. Just a few weeks ago I remember thinking how terrific it would be if the Democrats finally made good on their promise to impeach. Sure enough, there’s Li’l Dennis, with 35 charges against Li’l Bush (Li’l Cheney rules, rar rar rar)!

Deep Gratitude for Dennis Kucinich
I will have much, much more to say about this. But for now, I just want to give high praise to Rep. Dennis Kucinich for having the integrity to press ahead with the impeachment of George W. Bush. During yesterday’s House session he spent four hours and forty minutes reading 35 articles of impeachment into the record.
http://politics.drumsnwhistles.com/2008/06/deep-gratitude-for-dennis-kucinich/

Dennis Kucinich- A Real American Hero
Hats off to Congressman Kucinich for introducing 35 articles of impeachment. Whether one thinks it is too late, has no chance of passing in The House, would make Dick Cheney president, or takes the focus off the campaign, none of those reasons would have deterred Karl Rove, Tom DeLay, or Trent Lott were the shoe on the other foot. It’s a matter of principle (read: cojones). It is all the more reason we’ll be writing DK’s name in on our presidential ballot on our birthday- 11-04-08.

Dennis Kucinich is a sexy, sexy man
An Ohio Democratic lawmaker and former presidential candidate has presented articles of impeachment against President George W. Bush to Congress.

2. are those well read blogs?
I have never heard of any of them.

What is wrong with the well read 'liberal' news sites like Common Dreams and Huffington Post?

Why isn't Kucinich introducing Impeachment the top headline in the blogosphere?

Actually when I think about it, it is really cool that so many people know about it and are talking about it without the help of the major mainstream 'liberal' blogosphere! But we should be calling out the 'leaders' on their lack of enthusiasm.

8. It's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog!
If Dennis Kucinich can stare down the Cleveland mafia, I believe he can handle the Bush administration. Just as long as you keep Cheney away from the shotguns!

<<snip>>
Cleveland Democratic Congressman Dennis Kucinich, who is drafting legislation to ban civilian ownership of handguns, kept a pistol in his house after police learned of a Mafia plot to kill him during his tumultous stint as Cleveland's mayor during the 1970s.

16. I encountered that around 1 a.m. last night when I wanted to make a donation
...and again this morning.

It did come back last night and I contributed $35 to his congressional campaign. I also donated to a local Dem who's challenging our Repub incumbent and supports impeachment of Bush**. See if a pro-impeachment Dem is running near you by checking the list linked to here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=389&topic_id=3416090

We need more, many more like Kucinich in Congress if we're to have a hope of wresting back control of our government from the outlaw corporatists.

15. Must Not Waste Kucinich' Courage
Late Monday evening, a skinny little man from Ohio stood to address the mostly empty seats of the House or Representatives. His words need no further embellishment here. We can, however, be grateful for this mountain of political integrity and courage finally after too many years of treachery by an incumbent government and cowardice by the so-called opposition, even after we had returned it to majorities in both houses of Congress..Now, that the king's evil nakedness has been at long last publicly announced in our Congress, what are WE to do? Allow Congressman Kucinich to dangle alone amidst the more "prudent, reasonable and less extreme" positioning of his fellow "representatives of the people" and the pontificating pundits of prudence? And are we to bask smugly in celebration at this "example," exchange acknowledgement of our moral superiority, call a special meeting, re-paint the signs for this week's sidewalk demonstration?.Hey, "life goes on" -- or does it? The answer is NO! And Kucinich will be squashed like a bug if we, WE permit it..Now is the time to exercise our disgust and rage actively and productively. Now is the time -- lest we waste last night's rare display of courage -- to finally DO SOMETHING THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE..I think it should be done in Washington, and it will take a million or more of us, camping on the Mall, living on the streets, or wherever we are most visible, and we need to remain in place however long it takes, whatever the circumstances, the discomforts and the threats. We need to go to the seat of treachery and power and not return until we deserve and regain America."-"-"-"-"-..Rafe Pilgrim

19. If we dismiss Kucinich, the Constitution goes with him
by snafubar
Tue Jun 10, 2008 at 09:28:04 AM PDT
because between Bill Clinton and George W. Bush we will have left a historical record that says:

Sexual indescretion is of more interest to the American people than a misbegotten, tragically misconducted, and still unfinished war.

Scooter Libby will have had his sentence commuted by one president because he was not convicted of any of the charges he was originally accused of; only perjury during an investigation. Bill Clinton was impeached for exactly the same reason.

And lastly, what you tell the world - and the American citizenry (if they are courageous enough to stomach what this means) is that whether or not a president should be impeached depends on

- timing of the upcoming election cycle
- the proportion of political party affiliation vs. the president's party.
- whether or not the act of wrongdoing really is significant.
(but not the actual truth)

And we are comfortable deluding ourselves that we uphold the ideals of those who founded this country. Kucinich is seen as a joke or a political tool today; in decades to come he will be seen as the only guy on the Titanic who actually admitted there might actually be icebergs in the water.

snafubar's diary :: ::
I'm with Michelle Obama - for the first time in my political awareness, I'm proud of my country, because with this act by Dennis Kucinich, we have finally admitted that collectively we have the courage to look in our own mirror to see if we can prove we're as good as we think we are.

If we are, we have nothing to fear.

If we're not as good as we say we are, we at least had the courage to find out. Right now this excuse that there's not enough time left to impeach is tragically in line with the ex post facto thankfullness that we never had to endure "the long national nightmare" of impeaching Richard Nixon.

I got it now. If our president is guilty of hanky panky and mickey mouse accusations dating back to before his inauguration; we impeach because we get to burn the witch in public without the witch ever having caused any real harm to the country.

But if the president truly has besmirched the country and can be proven to have betrayed his oath of office, we let him go with our gratitude because then we don't have to admit that we elected a crook.

America the Brave, my hat. We don't have the courage to find out if the enemy might be us. Except, of all people, Dennis Kucinich.

Yeah, he must be a nut. Because the alternative is that the rest of us who are dismissing him might be wrong, and it's just easier to dismiss one guy and keep believing the rest of us are fine.

Hey - there's an argument that the President was not elected legitimately - twice - and we didn't really want to know. We're getting pretty good at ignoring the truth. But like Abu Ghraib, there is the implication that we did not try to correct the wrong (why were all those other boots in the pictures at Abu Ghraib not convicted of dereliction of duty for not stopping the abuse? ? ?) we just cut loose those who were acting on orders and skip the guy who gave the orders.

We're guilty of indifference because we have all this freedom we think the rest of the world wishes it had, and we are too scared to use. Why? Well, it because it might make us look bad.

"When considering cruelties committed in the name of a free society, some are guilty, but all are responsible" - Abraham Joshua Heschel.

We may not have held the knife that was used to murder someone, but we stood by and watched and did not intervene when we had the chance. We are not using the tools we were given by our founders we claim we are so proud of.

And if in the end, your argument for not backing Kucinich is because the timing isn't right, shame on you. Ultimately conducting a war that had no true cause to be waged is the most eggregious thing any American president has ever done, and what you're saying to the world is that you'd just rather not know the truth if it hurts your chances at the polls.

I can't do that.

Dennis, I'm not afraid to find out the truth and I laud you for having the courage to insist we at least start looking for it
