They’re Gutless – It Will Never Happen
It’s one prediction I’d like to see be wrong but so far we’re batting pretty close to a thousand on this sort of thing and I have no confidence in either the American government, or the people it says it represents, to actually do anything on Kucinich’s motion to impeach Bush.
“Resolved,” Kucinich then began, “that President George W. Bush be impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, and that the following articles of impeachment be exhibited to the United States Senate. …
“In his conduct while President of the United States, George W. Bush, in violation of his constitutional oath to faithfully execute the office of president of the United States, and to the best of his ability preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, has committed the following abuses of power…”
The first article Kucinich presented, and many that followed, regarded the war in Iraq: “Article 1 – Creating a secret propaganda campaign to manufacture a false case for war against Iraq.”
There are apparently 34 more articles but my bet is that both the Hosue and the Senate will shrug and opt for no controversy because there’s an election coming and everybody knows that Bush is done for anyway.
The word cowards comes to mind.
Whooee! The biggest problem, IMO, is that so many in Congress bought into Bush’s lies and voted for war. The public trust was betrayed, not just by Bush and Cheney but by the dumbass congresspersons and senators who were cowed by jingoism and rallied ’round the flag and gave carte blanche to the War President and his band of neo-con nincompoops.
Too many were complicit, either by pandering to false patriotism or accepting false evidence. The Merkans know that it was WWII that pulled Merka out of the Great Depression. They know that the Vietnam War eased the Eisenhower recession. Millions of Merkans are employed in the military-industrial complex. Pocketbook voting is as rampant in Merka as in Canada.
I agree the impeachment will go nowhere. My big problem is with the complete lack of news coverage for such a momentous development. Not as interesting as a cum-stained blue dress, I suppose.

It’s all just grandstanding political theatre. It’s easy to go after GWB now that he’s at the end of his presidency and his popularity is in the tank. Like JB says they sure didn’t have the stones to do it when he was riding high.
Moral cowardice plain and simple.

“It’s all just grandstanding political theatre.”
This is a political gesture.
“It’s easy to go after GWB now that he’s at the end of his presidency and his popularity is in the tank.”
Having compiled a two-term legacy of well documented dishonesty, manipulation of information, and bad judgment, and having achieved historic lows in popularity for his incompetence, George Bush is being criticized.
“They sure didn’t have the stones to do it when he was riding high.”
