Let's make sure that Cheney goes, then we can impeach Bush.

The movement to impeach is hardly "an irresponsible move supported only by the far left" - rather it is a necessary procedure to restore law and order to the executive branch that is supported by a growing contingent of Americans. Bravo to Kucinich and the other members of Congress who have the wherewithal to stand up to Bush, Cheney and Co.'s deceitful administration.

GO CMKX!!! Largest naked shorted stock int he History of the United States.

everyone denied naked shorting was real, SEC nazareth, CITI, Knight Securities, Hedge funds.

CMKX Diamonds.

Dennis Kucinich is right. It's time to hold the executive branch accountable and protect the Constitution. Let's not let bad presidents lead to bad precedence.

Cheney's crimes.. Don't forget Cheney directed the TREASONOUS outing of a covert CIA agent, and all the employees working in the CIA cover organization "Brewster Jennings".

If the Democrats had any courage, Bush and Cheney would have both been impeached by now and the war in Iraq would be over.

It's all supposed to be a trade by Kucinich:

Grassley(as in grass) and the privildged elite farmers of the US not making room for the poor farmers of the world and, yes, it's cotton.

The wealthy, priviledged payers of the Environmental working group

http://www.ewg.org/about/staff

The poor farmers of the world and the very well paid employees(by a US government agency, PC) of the National Peace Corps Association

http://www.rpcv.org/pages/sitepage.cfm?id=1297

and those other agencies that all work together(jobs)

Kucinich is talking about priviledge. He has to be laughing. It should all blow back in the dems faces.

You want Nancy Pelosi as your next commander in chief? California didn't want her, now Washington is stuck with her...I sure don't want her as president not vice president...she's abigger crook than most of them all.

It's about time. We life-long Democrats (not left-wing) have been waiting for someone to stand up for us and the country and the Constitution. Kudos to Dennis Kucinich and his 22 co-sponsors - true profiles in courage!

Down with Bush & Cheney Co!

Suck IT! Cheaney

What's embarrassing about this? This administration is probably the most deserving of impeachment in the history of the US. Democratic congress... you are truly useless.

A recent poll shows more than 50% of the public believe Cheney should be impeached. It is a mainstream sentiment in the public, and not the exclusive domain of a left wing fringe.

Fascinating that the impeachment articles in the Post are at the top of the "most viewed" list, but that one must navigate a labyrinth of links to find the updates.

CNN has no mention whatever of any of this. Very telling.

IMPEACHMENT....like a breath of fresh air!

Go Dennis! You are a true brave American, thank you for speaking for the People. Imeach Cheney, he is a criminal, a murderer, a liar and a war profiteer.

I really don't understand why the Democratic leadership is so spineless. The White House does not negotiate. They only know the bomb. So, why would they even bother to take the high road here? Get out there and impeach the vice president. It'll only help their election chances down the road.

What world do you live in? The idea that impeaching Dick Cheney is "an irresponsible move supported only by the far left" is divorced from reality. The July 2007 ARG poll found that 54% of Americans support "beginning impeachment proceedings against Vice President Dick Cheney". Is it your contention that 54 percent represents a "fringe element of anti-war activists"?

You really should be fired.

Our officials have sworn to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution. Kucinich actually stood up to do so.

I disagree with any political act of non courage by the democrats. Let's haul Cheney in front of public opinion and put the facts on the table. He ought to be impeached. He is far worse than Richard Nixon. He gets rich while America's young die in Iraq.

where are the democrats that used to represent the common people?

How is it exactly that you know they felt embarrassed? Did you use the force?

Who was embarrassed, specifically?

throw the bastards out!

The Bush administration had the audacity to claim that the Vice Presidential office is not part of the Executive Branch. Let me think about this... I know from my government class in HIGH SCHOOL that the Vice President is part of the Executive Branch. Cheney should be impeached because of his violations of the Constitution on civil liberties and his denial of the public's right to know how their taxmoney is being spent.

http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/national/320876_cheney22.html

If the Resolution to impeach were sent to the American people rather than to the House Committee, we wouldn't still be having this debate. Not that it is much of a debate since Speaker Pelosi took it off of the table from day one. Speaker Pelosi has accomplished nothing through this reconcilliatory act, and is certainly not speaking for the people. Move to start the proceedings, or move aside, Speaker.

Hey AV. Yet to see or meet ANY POLITICIAN who wasn't a crook, criminal, liar, murderer or profiteer off any public policy. Read the article in USA TODAY about how the dems and their families have been "skimming off" farm subsidies for all these years ?????

TRUST NONE OF THEM !!

Impeachment for Cheney -- a refreshing breath of fresh air! Thank you, Congressman Kucinich!

For Cheney: impeachment first, followed by a long, long stretch in prison!

I agree: This is mainstream, not leftwing. I've never marched or protested in my life. I'm not a political activist in any sense of the word. I'm a businessman and a pragmatist. My only "radical" attribute is the inclination to read, not just newspapers, but magazines, and, gasp, history. Bush Cheney are the worst. They are a threat to our constitution, our national security, and our way of life. Impeach Cheney now. Save Bush for later.

I am ecstatic today! It's been said many times on this blog, but let me say one more time that the "far-left" are not those calling for this impeachment. Americans who are demanding the impeachment of this administration are those who are outraged by the blatant, vicious violation of human rights across the globe. GO DENNIS! Thanks to those 22 who backed him.

The Neo-Cons have infiltrated both major parties and the parties have become wings of the same political Neo-Con agenda.

Let it be said, we are in the one party system they warned us about long ago. Save a few courageous people from both the left and right, most people in government now owe their allegiance not to country but to New World Order groups like the Council on Foreign Relations.

Look it up; Hillary, Bush and Guliani have the same believes and support the same causes. Hillary has supported Bush in all aspects. Question why our civil liberties have eroded and the Democrat leadership has done nothing.

Personally, I'm supporting Ron Paul, but would welcome Kucinich as a candidate for the Democrats.

Restore the Republic!

We need Dictator Bush, Cheney Halliburton, Rumsfeld and Betrayus tried for treason... with all possible penalties for treason on the plate.

This just goes to show how nuts some in government are. Kucinich is a freakin' kook! If this wasn't embarassing, then why no debate? No one in government today has any bal ls!

Has the post reported on ANY polls about how we the people feel regarding deadeye dick's demise?
I have seen 54% bandied about. I know most polls are complete propagandistic brainwashing horsefeathers and the post is a tool of the oligarchy but come on.......the man is a menace to our planet and our species. He is currently salivating over Iran and WW3.
House Resolution 333 clearly spells out several impeachable offenses. We all know there are many more(VPlame, going personally to the CIA to strong arm false analysis pre-Iraq, torture, evesdropping, when the investigations start and subpeonas are flying fast n furious, rats squeal to save their butts....we know most of these crimes against humanity and our constitution will turn out to have originated from Veep's office. Bottom line...he is guilty of treason. At a time of war that is a capital offense. Dont worry dick.....lethal injection is not humane.....we got a nice thick rope and a sturdy ol oak tree 4 ya!!!

Maybe it's time Americans found out what their leaders in Congress are made from. It would be nice to know who does and who does not believe in democracy, wouldn't it?

Cheaney and his fellow profiteers have abused the trust of CIA agents and diplomats with false exposures and treason.
Treason is when you (political leader)expose any of your government employees or thier contacts during military action to the enemy and they or thier network of contacts have the potentional to be harmed. Cheaney is guilty of inaction (ommission)at the least!

By the way, he'll be pardoned after the impeachment anyway. Kinda like one big circle jerk--and the head jerk is in the Oval Office.

The embarrassed Democratic leaders are not leaders whatsoever of any kind. Kudo's to the leadership of the Kucinich 21 who finally showed some cajones to speak the truth on the House Floor today! Thank you Rep. Kucinich for doing the will of the people. 75% are against the lawlessness, Treason of the present Administration, who think they are above the law. This is only the first step. I for one contacted my congressmember and advised them that their vote on impeachment will be followed and determine my future vote and support for them the next election. It's about the constitution and who is willing to support the law of the land.

Operation Ajax.

Look it up!

British Petroleum (BP) approached the United States presidents to stage a coup in the same region we speak of today.

Verified by NSA.

Big kudos for one of the true patriots in Congress. Thank you Dennis Kucinich for helping make the voices of Americans heard. Shame on those in Congress who simply don't care about anything but their political well-being.

Dennis Kucinich is a true patriot and brave to stand up to the sinister villainry of Dick Cheney. He's the only candidate who deserves my vote. I'm sick and tired of the cowardly spineless Congressmen who are derilict in their duty to uphold the Constitution. Take note of all who voted against his resolution. May this cost all of them their bids for re-election.

I notice the mainstream news media didn't think this resolution was newsworthy enough to mention. Cheney and Bush have committed more treasonous acts and crimes against humanity than any other administration in the history of this country. They should have been impeached and imprisoned a long time ago.

Thanks for showing courage, Dennis!

Thank you Dennis, and even more thanks to all of you here who have stood up to be counted.

It is extremely disconcerting to witness the Democratic party's sell out and lack of integrity in yet another opportunity to "tell it like it is", rather than fear for their political lives.

Hopefully, their constituents will recognize these politicians for what they are and repay that "fear" with replacement.

A presidential pardon after an impeachment is actually not possible - the only exception to the (too) wide-reaching power of presidential pardon. Read Article II, Section 2: "The President... shall have Power to Grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment."

Yes! Another vote here for this MAINSTREAM move. Hardly far-left. The Democratic Party has no soul and no cajones, while the Republican crooks get away with murder (literally - e.g. Blackwater).

First Cheney, then Bush. This country needs an enema!

Judging by , popularity,and resolve,the democrats have failed Only The progressive democrats,are relating,to a majority of americans.GET IT!

Impeach Cheney, he is a criminal, a murderer, a liar and a war profiteer. AV said it above, but expressed my opinion perfectly. What is embarrassing is that this Congress ISN'T doing anything about impeachment. Dennis Kucinich is a hero, the likes of Paul Wellstone. We need someone to speak for the majority, and the majority wants to see this administration pay for their transgressions.

Hopefully it will go beyond impeachment - Nuremburg II is quite in order.

Despotism at it's finest. Thankyou Democrats. You let this happen because your cowering to the GOP. Nancy Pelosi.. Absolutely pathetic. Democrats are really showing that they are week.

Dick and his puppet are simply happy to see the end of their term quickly nearing without impeachment because their executive privilege will prohibit, until 40 years after their death, any investigation of criminal activities and conspiracies they were involved in during their rampant 8 years in office.

Now see why all the fuss about impeachment? No??? Oh, well.

I am a registered Republican and I voted for Bush in 2000, and I fully support the impeachment of Cheney, which I'd like to see followed up by the impeachment of Bush. I'd also like to see some increased scrutiny of the laws they may have violated to date (illegal wiretapping, use of torture, leaking the name of covert agents, etc). When I originally voted for these people, I was under the impression that I was helping elect a pro-small-government, devout Christian conservative patriot, not the war mongering government-expanding traitors that we ended up with. I probably won't be voting for a democrat in the next election, but I certainly will not be voting for anyone who supports the status quo. Take note Romney and Giuliani.

Far-left? Or the voice of Americans. They both need to go. Now.

No question about it, Cheney should be impeached. This just shows how little resolve the mainstream Dems have. They are so afraid to seam "divisive" (a funny smear, considering the fact that Bush, Cheney, and Co. are probbly the most divisive administration ever) that they won't take a stand.

wow - they're out tonight.

The Republicans only outsmarted themselves. In the end the Dems put this back in the judiciary committee where Conyers and his staff have been investigating Cheney's crimes for years. Not a happy day at Blair House or the Bat Cave.

What really ought to happen is the leader of another country ought to file charges in The Hague against Cheney and Bush, for crimes against humanity.

Impeachment isn't a left-wing fringe issue, it is desired by the majority of U.S. citizens. Time for Congress to stand up for our Constitution.

If the Dems refuse to impeach, is it time to build guillotines?

We have a really nifty way of getting rid of politicians we don't like: elections. While I'm not a big Dick Cheney fan, I am a life-long fan of the Constitution and the in particular the concept of separation of powers. It is rather amusing that we are talking about firing a guy whose chief role is to wait for George Bush to die and break the occasional tie in the Senate. We survived the Al Gone, Dan Quayle, and even the Schuyler Colfax years; Dick Cheney really isn't the anti-Christ that some would like him to be (although he probably has a lower approval rating than Spiro Agnew - quite an achievement). Democrats have control of Congress and unless they nominate someone like Dennis Kucinich, they are likely to take back the White House in 2008. They should use their "power of the purse" to derail Executive decisions that they don't like, not try to demonize and deep-six individuals.

it is time for the great sleeping giant which was woken up by the perpetrators of pearl harbor to rise up again together left and right aginst the traitors which are rapeing this nation's treasure.we americans should rise our voices and have the guts to call what is wrong for what it is regardless if we have to punish one of our own. we have been taken by this shameless, administration.

Can hardly believe there is anyone left who still calls him/herself a Republican. About time for this very correct, very rational move!

the american people don't deserve the protections of the impeachment process...
apparently what we have these days, is a finite field with an infinite number of little piggies ... all waiting for slaughter... - let Bush proceed I say...

Congress and the house are wasting their time with the impeachment. Please look at what is going on with in our country. If the president send a resolution to congress and they pass it. Who is at fault the party who drafted the resolution or the Congress who agree and send it back for the president signature? My suggestion is to impeach everyone who voted for the war resolution and send it to the president for signature. He only sign what congress brought before him, they represent the people. Or did you forget the process. We need a better congress and senators. What I see are crooks starting with those who will like to bring shame to the US and the soldiers who defend it.

Now Conyers has the marching orders and the tools to do what is necessary.

It is sad that issues which could benefit from genuine debate on a national level, e.g. Cheney's impeachment, get mired in the muck of Kucinich's cult of personality, combined with cynical parliamentary stunts.

Kucinich, who deserves respect for forcing the Democratic leadership to show its true colors, is almost certainly reaping lots of donations from this stunt, and likewise the GOP gets to make itself look smart issuing quips about weaknesses of the the Democrat majority, but who really wins here? The war is no closer to ending, nor is the Executive Branch any closer to being accountable for its role in starting/continuing the war.

Impeaching Cheney would make it too easy for the Republicans. They are congenitally incapable of self rule - but they are very good at following orders. Instead of them going nuts trying to decide on a presidential candidate for 2008, if Cheney were impeached the bosses (GWB) would appoint a replacement who would become the presidential candidate. That would save them the agony of making a democratic decision on their own, and save them a whole lot of primary money as well.

The Democrats are blood thirsty now, soon they'll be impeaching one another. Give 'em time and that rage will display itself on the floor of the Congress. Has there ever been a worse congress than this one? I trow not.

I support President George Walker Bush and Vice President Richard Cheney. They are the only leaders we have in Washington all the rest of them seem like a highschool debating society except the high schools are more honorable and respectful.

It's high time someone stood up and started impeachment proceedings. I am elated!

Question: Do we want ANY future President or Vice President to ASSUME the same powers as this administration? Democrat OR Republican? Of course not. Where has the balance of power gone? There is none. And shame on you, Democrats for sitting on your behinds and "acting" so offended and NOT doing anything about it.

You go, Dennis!!!

The Democratic Leaders are SPINELESS.They won't fight for it even if its the right thing to do.

Hallelujah!

Boris M. makes a lot of sense. It is hard to tell the parties apart these days.
They are all alike! Read about the
"New World Order." It should wake you up!

We are headed in that direction. I wonder what language we will be speaking here and if we will have the Euro or the Paso? Probably the Euro. Forget the flag cause we won't be allowed to fly the red white and blue. So sad for the younger generation!

The Nation -- In May of 1972, when then-President Richard Nixon was riding as high as he ever would politically, anti-war activists attempted to place an advertisement in The New York Times urging his impeachment for illegal war making in southeast Asia.

ADVERTISEMENT

The two-page ad, headlined "A Resolution to Impeach Richard M. Nixon," called on the newspaper's readers to support House Resolution 976, which had been proposed several weeks earlier by Michigan Congressman John Conyers and several other liberal representatives.

Nixon and his aides went ballistic.

its time for america, all america to read the full text of this great res. so lets put this in all paper h.res 799

If iraq had wmds, why didn't they use them on us? It was obvious to me that the whole bush admin had lied to us in the first 2 weeks, for if iraq had them, they would have used them. Second, when the war broke out, we did not surround Tikrit, Iraq, where the 550 tons of chem/biol agents were supposedly seen on satellite. However, we did surround the oil wells. Back in the 70's, we could track a man with a cig butt in hand from 100 miles up by satellite, but today we can't track 550 tons of wmds. Give me a break, you liars, murderers and theives of the bush admin. You lied to get iraq's oil, period. Why else is haliburton, exxon, BP, conoco, exxon over there? Then, you stated it was all just a cia mistake, other countries thought Iraq had them. That's not true, other countres wanted to give the inspectors more time to determine if iraq had them. Even if they did think iraq had them, they did not act on impulse. I can think anything i want about someone, but if i take a gun and kill him, that is murder. I can't go to court and say everyone else thought he was bad.

It's about time!!! I say impeach Cheney and then go for Bush. I'm ALL for it!!!

Im an asswipe who still supports these pricks who no one in the republican party still does. Not even the most conservative.

Regardless of how spinelessly this got to Committee, I am crossing my fingers Conyers takes the football and scores a touchdown!

Dennis should try to team up with Ron Paul they could save us all!

more shame the liberal far left brings to it's party.

If there are any individuals who really believe that any form of attempt to impeach Cheney or Bush at this point is a waste of time......THEY ARE MOST LIKELY CRIMINALS THEMSELVES! Republicans believe, BECAUSE OF THE ACTIONS OF BUSH AND CHENEY OVER THE PAST 7 YEARS, that white collar crimes are "okay" for people to commit. I got a call from the devil himself today, and I was surprised since I didn't really believe in hell or the devil until this call.....but he called and said that he has been reserving two empty spaces in hell specifically for Mr. Bush, and Mr. Cheney...IRONICALLY ENOUGH, their spaces are RIGHT NEXT TO HITLER! How appropriate!

Everyone I know who's been paying attention was on board with this 4 years ago. The rest of us are heads in the sand I guess. Thanks Dennis!

Whatever happens, Bush will veto it.

So there.

This article is so blatantly biased it's disgusting - amazingly lousy journalism.

"Democratic leaders long ago rejected any consideration of impeaching Cheney and President Bush as an irresponsible move
supported only by the far left,..."

Oh yeah and Republican Ron Paul, and about 2/3 of Americans, but we'll just set that aside for this terrible article solely for the purpose of trying to tell you what to think. Rubbish !

It seems the problem is that it's hard to impeach 2 guys who were never elected - and ever since have had the attitude that Dick Cheney himself said so eloquently when he told the senator from Vermont to - and I quote - "Go f%#$ yourself" (for asking about Halliburtons double charging the US taxpayers for our soldiers food in Iraq).

Absolutely inexcusable attitude from one of our leaders in Washington! Cheney is just another greedy authoritative power hungry war mongerer, so please, let's impeach the war criminals!

Kucinich and the Democrats would never get that. The Democrats will not win the Congress next go around in 2008. Come read my daily political blog on my space search Derek Varsalona. Did everyone vote today? If not then don't complain about your government.

I think it is very responsible for us Democrats to Impeach the leaders of other parties when we disagree with their policies. I believe in a Guatemalan style democracy. Maybe we could actually start lynchings of opposing parties. That is a great way to run a country. Makes me proud to be a Demo.

This is a great article. I like it because it shows that America does have some remnant of Free Speech left over from the Constitutional Days. You know, the Golden Era when Americans were above lowering themselves to overseas empire, torture, and genocide. Ron Paul is a fan of this article too. He is concerned that Americans access to articles like this could become more difficult if the internet were ever to be regulated by the same folks who regulate the TV news. He's even voted against it. On November 5th I gave money to him for those past votes of his. On Veterans day I'll be paying him again with the hope that in the future, when our soldiers come home from Iraq and elsewhere, they will find that we who stayed at home did not lose grasp of the Civil Liberties which they bleed overseas to defend. You should consider this.

As a republican, I understand your sentiments about Cheney. He's certainly a rogue politician with no accountability. Absolute power...you know. Bush has allowed him to run wild during his administration. However, considering the dem's have accomplished nothing with the majority, I find it counter-productive for them raise their vindictive hand against a lame-duck Veep. This seems pety and waste of tax-payers dollars. Let Cheney die on the vine his final 11 months. Please, the man is 5 minutes from another coronary.

George Bush is a puppet and Cheney is the puppetmaster.

They skewed law to suit them, and justified this stupid war.

Cheney ought to be impeached for that.

Frontline's "Cheney's Law", which can be viewed online at PBS explains it nicely.

Bush ought to be impeached for not doing something about illegal immigration, burying the middle class.

If democrats don't stand up against this treasonous admnistration, then who will?

The GOP messed up (thankfully) in voting not to kill the impeachment debate. Now that the debate has been approved, We the People are voicing our opinions, and Congress (if it is responsive to the people) is obliged to get on with the business of impeachment. First Cheney and then Bush.

Another reason to abolish political parties. If politicians would use more common sence and less political agenda, we wouldn't need to impeach. Perhaps mental evaluations should become mandatory to run for political office, or would that disqualify the majority of our leaders?

Moths to a flame. More from kookville.

1) It' Bush's fault
2) Cheney is evil.
3) Rove is a puppermaster.
4) 9-11 was a fraud
5) The US did not got to the moon
6) The biggest danger to mankind is the internal combustion engine, not nuclear proliferation, terrorism, or poverty

Drugs, just say no, or you will believe the above * between puffs *

Thank god there's still a patriotic spirit still alive in the U.S.

The liberal AH was impeached for sex; why not killing, lying, illegal espionage, etc.

I'd like the bastard to be hung after he's impeached! On MTV...

All I can say is Woo-hoo! Maybe a Yippie thrown in too. Cheney first then Bush! My prayers are going up that impeachment will happen and we will restore the US Constitution and become a nation of laws again.

Impeaching Cheney (and Bush) is only for "fringe element anti-war activists"? If that's what Republicans really believe, then it only shows their continuing and predictable failure to gauge the wishes of the majority of Americans at this sorry hour in our nation's history.

Finally, for Cheney impeachment is too soft. He is a traitor and should be tried for treason as well as impeached. Bush should go also but that would leave us with Pelosi. The thought of her as President scares me as much as having Bush in office.

I am appalled that reporting on this issue represents that the only citizens interested in pursing impeachment proceedings against Cheney and/or Bush are left-wing anti-war advocates. Moreover, if that is what the House and Senate members think then I am disgusted at the degree to which they are out of touch with their constituents. It is high time for the citizens of this country to take its employees (we do pay their salaries) in hand. If I ran my business with such lowbrow tactics I would lose my license. We have precious few measures to control bad-behavior in this administration...I say bravo and sally forth!

Successful or not, it is important to have the impeachment resolution on record so that someday history will tell that Americans know right from wrong and have the courage to face and tell the truth.
Unfortunately, the reputation of the US will not recover nearly fast enough even if the arrogant crooks are impeached.

Dennis Kucinich is a courageous and principled man. Thank you and the 21 other heroes for standing up for our Constitution.

Dick has only a 9% job approval rating.

That 9% is illegal war profiteering employees.

Send the "no-oath" VP home. Bush too.

Iraq, corporate scandal such as Enron and WorldCom, Katrina, treason outing CIA operatives for political reasons, the liquidity crisis, the energy crisis, and the list goes on and on -- all brought to you by the Neo-Cons bith Republican and democratic alike.

Funny thing, in times such as these, unlikely heroes emerge. Your vote for Dennis K. is admiral and better than voting for Hillary (who is essentially a NeoCon but says differently, she's incapable of giving a straight answer). But vote for someone "electable" Draft Gore or vote for Edwards!

IMPEACH THE LYING BASTARDS!

Impeach those Who Lied to the American People & Imprison the ones who made a Profit or shall we say Killing off the Wars in Afghanistan & Iraq!

Paul Kane is a Republican tool. Notice how many bloggers aren't from the "left fringe" who want impeachment. Kane is a perfect example how all those in and around WDC are completely devoid of the aims and intentions of the nation as a whole. Your lead, sir, is the embarassment!

Kucinich is a joke

Wow. The sentiment on this site is overwhelming! If only the spineless Democratic leadership would read it.

Cheney MUST be removed from office right now to save the nation and the world. Bush is a moron, put him under adult supervision.

Lyndon LaRouche and his youth movement have led the fight for this since 2002-and now he is calling for Pelosi to resign as speaker-she is worse than gutless, she is corrupt as Hell...run by Hedge Funds, and Felix Rohatyn.

There is too much at stake to play political games or to go along to get along. More congressmen need to show some balls as Kucinich has, and do what the American people elected them to do-whether Cheney-protector Pelosi likes it or not!

The only "embarrassment" is that Bush and Cheney have managed to stay in office all this time without being seriously challenged until now.

We need to have a serious investigation into war profiteering by Halliburton, Blackwater, et al, and a real investigation about the Downing Street minutes, and how we got into Iraq in the first place.

This is the worst, most secretive, most unchecked administration of all time.

After Cheney is impeached and convicted, Bush is next. After they are removed and permanently barred from office, they should receive fair criminal trials in the U.S. and/or be extradited and tried by the International Court of Justice for their crimes against humanity.

This is the ONLY course of action that would restore our honor as a country. It probably won't happen - but it should.

Pelosi has been as loyal to the principles of our Constitution as her fellow Californian Feinstein. Nevertheless, she should be President - briefly - under the procedures wisely set out by the Founders, who knew that one day we would need to turn the rascals out, and set out a way to do so without bloodshed. If we cannot live up to their vision - and it seems we cannot - then we deserve to suffer the consequences - and I believe we are going to get it good and hard, unfortunately, if the Bush/Cheney gang are allowed to work all the wickedness they intend.

May the Creative Forces of the Universe have mercy on our souls, if any.

Dick and his puppet are simply happy to see the end of their term quickly nearing without impeachment because their executive privilege will prohibit, until 40 years after their death, any investigation of criminal activities and conspiracies they were involved in during their rampant 8 years in office.

Now see why all the fuss about impeachment? No??? Oh, well.

The fact that we are debating this makes me sick. People ought to realize that when you elect someone you can't just solve it by impeaching them when they do something you don't like. If that mentallity worked we should impeach over half of Congress for not doing what they said they would in their first 100 hours, or for continuing to keep upi the pressure on what they believe. All that has happened is that they fought ever word that came out of the Republican parties mouths, but when time came to actually do something they sat on their hands and failed. Shame on all of you who believe that everything George Bush says is a lie. No one is perfect, but you have to stand up for what you believe in.
I support George Bush and Dick Cheney, and if this turns into an impeachment trial I will continue to support them, and if in 30 years the truth of what they did comes to light I will hold strong to my support or denounce them on the spot. Until then, give me proof to the contrary.
Long live Democracy! Long Live America! God bless us in our time of need.

A rule of the US House of Representatives, Section 603 of Jefferson's Manual of the Rules of the United States House of Representatives, allows federal impeachment proceedings to be initiated by joint resolution of a state legislature. Should proceeding initiated by Kucinich be squelched, which state's legislatures will show courage?

Whether or not Bush/Cheny/ (and others) are war criminals, and whether or not they also committed serious and impeachable offenses such as conspiring, soliciting, aiding and abetting, and authorizing acts against PERSONS in the US (whether they be citizen or not) in violation of the treaties, laws and Constitution of the US (eg fourth amendment, habeas corpus)....

...whether or not all of that is true, an impeachment costs so much and has such little benefit at this point, that despite being in favor of impeachment itself I would still vote against proceeding with it.

I make no criticism of Kucinich or those who express the impeachment view (it has legal merit and should be voiced ) I remind those who wish to impeach that it will cost, it is unlikely to succeed, you must get BOTH, the Senate rules are tricky, and to fail would bring greater catastrophe upon the nation.

So there you are. Impeachment just ain't in the cards. However, an election is...

An "irresposible move supported only by the far left"? Get a grip.

First: polls are very carefully worded closed ended questions that in most cases have a predicted outcome. The clasic is "When did you stop beating your spouse?"

Second: Why did the Dems dump this on a committee when they had the chance to do the first step in impeachment, open hearing? How about because there is no "real" case. Or even better they are complicit.

Note on Second: Think on this, if you have true evidence of treason and withhold it or fail to act on it, you are comitting treason. Or at minimum conspiracy to commit treason.

Third: While I am not very happy with the roads the executive branch are taking, to even suggest executive orders came down from on high to torture people is highly suspicious, there are simply to many people with opposing views that know the rules for that not to be made very public - like CNN. And please don't be naive enough to confuse the field commander with the executive branch. Those people have been caught and I don't doubt that there are others that should be caught. But that is another topic.

And lastly - if you (like me) believe you need changes, vote for them.

Or better - get petitions going, get off the computer and do more than blog.

Kucinich is like the Chinese kid standing up against the tank in Tiananmen Square --- but this tank of repression is driven by both the phony two-party Republicans and Democrats committed to maintaining the global corporate Empire behind this facade of 'Vichy America'.

The question now will be whether the media powers in that 'Vichy America' also continue to oppress and repress the growing outrage of average American people to see their government restored to the real democracy against Empire that our founding fathers envisioned and died for --- or whether the media will also rebel against this stacked-deck of Empire and report the real truth to the American people.

Another waste of time and money by our congress. They'll spend countless hours and countless dollars to accomplish nothing!! In the end he won't be impeached and we will have wasted alot of money that could have been better spent!!!!!!!!!

So, it would be "irresponsible" to hold Dick Cheney accountable for the failure of his invasion & occupation strategy?

Who should we hold responsible for the strategy that will cause the deaths of more Americans in Iraq this year than in 2003? The Washington Post? Our Sunni (Baathist) allies? Our Shiite allies (and their Iranian backers)?

"Oh, I know," sez the neocons, "Lets's blame Dennis Kucinich."

This proves just how badly we (Democrats) need to get rid of most of our Reprentatives that put more effort into saving their jobs than saving our country...starting with Pelosi

I WANT TO SEE CHENEY TO GO TO JAIL AND STAY THERE FOR A LONG LONG TIME. AFTER THAT LETS BING BUSH TO THE TABLE TOO.

RE: By the way, he'll be pardoned after the impeachment anyway. Kinda like one big circle jerk--and the head jerk is in the Oval Office.

*******************************************

Upon impeachment, there can be NO pardon.

Thank you Dennis! Get on board lovers of liberty and the US Constitution! It's long overdue that our reps. stop cowering before this administration of liar criminals.

Thank you, Rep. Dennis Kucinich and the 22 co-sponsors for your courage for the resolution considering the impeachment of Vice President Cheney. I would simply re-state what many above have already said. I do not consider myself a part of the radical left, but I am appalled that Cheney is not held accountable for where he has led the country. I am very disappointed in those in Congress (especially the Democrats but also the Republicans) who are unwilling to hold him accountable for what appear to be impeachable offenses. Will our nation ever recover?

Fine. You can still support dick "after" he's impeached. It's a free country, but just remember, A. Hitler too had many supporters even after his death. Hitler was a big Jesus freak.

At 55, I have been a life-long Republican and proud of it.

However, I do not believe in voting a straight ticket ... either way. Instead, I choose to vote for whomever I believe to be the best, qualified candidate. Why would anyone do otherwise?

I am a working 'stiff' just like most folk in here and I agree whole-heartedly with bringing this administration to justice, swiftly and completely.

While some of you dis Republicans (and maybe some deserve it), do not lump all of us into one definition. It doesn't fly!

See ...

Thank you!

Yes, I agree this article is quite right-slanted. MOST of America wants BOTH Bush and Cheney impeached, not just far left-wingers. We want them impeached, removed, tried in court for treason, AND THEN sent overseas to an international tribunal for war crimes. This is the ONLY way to correct this disasterous precedent and begin healing our relationships with the rest of the world. And if I had my way, I'd have the whole administration's records ... take a snapshot of them as of '00 ... and seize every penny profiteered off this war. This money can be given to VA hospitals that have been neglected for so long!

Ah, the beauty of the comment sections. Now WaPo knows who its readers are. I trust it wasn't that much of a surprise. :)

cheney is one of the top fall guys in town; it's not cheney - it's bush. anything the herd wants to pin on cheney, they do only because they can't accept the fact that their president is a thieving liar.
face up to it: it's the president who bears the responsibility - not his overaged veep with one foot in the grave

Kudos to Dennis Kucinich, a true patriot. He is the only elected representative who has had the courage to stand up for the Constitution. We need all Representatives and Senators to stand up behind him and show Bush and Cheney we are not behind occupation of other countries and the slaughtering of it's peoples. Stop them before they go into Iran.

If it were up to Conyers, he would have brought Impeachment proceedings forward months ago, but Pelosi will not allow it.
She will probably stop him again. We will probably hear no more about it, even though millions in this country feel Impeachment is the only way to save our Democracy.

I am applauding this impeachment move and it is way past due. Both Cheney and Bush have driven this country over a cliff with their "to hell with the constitution" mentality. They are both criminals in my book.

Moths to a flame. More from GOP fraudville.

1) Bush is Jesus
2) Cheney is a master-mind.
3) Rove is a God.
4) 9-11 was directed by a 1973 walkie-talkie from a cave 9,573 miles away. End of story.
5) The Iraq war will only last 8-weeks - or so.
6) The biggest danger to mankind is anybody who disagrees with Bush.

Illegal War Profiteering, Prison, Crimes, Lies, Murders, just say no, or you will believe the above * as you drink your sheep branded beer *

It is about time! Pelosi and other Democratic leaders abdicated their duties and responsibilities the very first day in power, and it took the GOP to put the House back on track and get them to do their jobs. That is the real embarrassment for the Democrats, not the fact impeachment was brought up in the first place. The charges are far more serious than any leveled against Bill Clinton, should be investigated thoroughly, and if valid should go for an impeachment vote. They should not be swept under the rug or ignored because someone might be embarrassed by them.

Never has there been more evidence of the need for impeachment--of both Cheney and Bush. Kucinich should be praised, not ridiculed, for doing his sworn duty to uphold our Constitution. Let the evidence be presented and there will be no doubt of what the only reasonable and lawful course should be.

Impeachment,no. Tar and feather, Yes!

Great job DK, IMPEACH NOW.

Down with this treacherous administration!!

Pelosi should be impeached too.

By refusing to prosecute a truly impeachable offense, she is in dereliction of her duty to protect the constitution. And for protecting Bush and Cheney from prosecution, she should be considered complicit in their crimes.

Well, finally my depression is lifting. I was afraid my voice was lost in the wilderness. The fact that there are so many angry people out there gives me hope that somehow we will convince the MEDIA to pay attention to us! Rock on Dennis and co-patriots.

LadyBlue

Go CMKX..GO ACCA GO INES AND INTERNATIONAL ROOM.

Everyone should watch Naiomi Wolf's speech on 1984comic.com. We just have to make sure the fascists masquerading as republicans are not in power for much longer.

This is not a "far left" position. Congress has a duty to impeach an Executive Branch that is threatening our democracy.

Throw the bums out. The Republican crooks and most of all, the Republi-cats. These are no Democrats- they are corrupt! Pelosi and the whole show. Throw all Republicans out and all who support these crooks.

I think people are missing a much more sinister move by the Republicans in what they did. I think they are actually trying to give Kucinich a boost in order to split the Democratic vote should he decide to run as an independent. The only embarrassment to the Democrats is that they didn't back this resolution. They were supposedly sent to Congress to make a change, and by tabling impeachment of the most corrupt vice president in history, they are WORSE than the Republicans because they are allowing him to stay in place. Kucinich is the only politician with the courage and integrity to DO SOMETHING. Politics in America today was in the Twilight Zone, but don't underestimate the Republican dirty tricks.

Sorry, that comment above should have read by Robin, not anonymous.

"We the People..." need a dark horse, a long-shot, and an underdog-- to lead us in the direction-- back to ourselves; do you remember US?

Thank you Congressman Kucinich; you get my vote no matter the odds.

Dangerous times--here in these disunited states; although, after reading through this blog, I hear a distant rumbling of confluence gaining strength.

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

Let us not forget.

If we fail to bring Bush Inc. to justice, "We the People..." will have been in vain.

Impeach Now!

Paul Kane writes a biased and unbalanced article full of editorializing. This has nothing in common with the news. The vast majority of the comments here make this clear, but it's still so shameful that it bears repeating.

Democrats promised to END THE WAR IN IRAQ!
.
Instead Democrats VOTED TO FUND THE WAR IN IRAQ!
.
Now Democrats play vp impeachment games while OUR CHILDREN DIE!
.

This should be an embarrasment to the Country! This is an example of too little too late. I can't believe that the American people have let Bush and Chenney stay in office! They are at the end of their terms. Why bother with this effort now? They have already done the damage, any damage they will do now is minimized, and soon to end. Wake up people! Get control of your country! The USA is supposed to be a democracy, clearly it is not! A vote does not mean you have a democracy, a democracy is of the people for the people by the people. This is not that. These guys should have been gone one election ago, if not before that! Your fools for supporting these two idiots. GET CONTROL OF YOUR COUNTRY, prove to the rest of the world you are who you say you are!

Guess who else is urging impeachment hearings..

Bruce Fein- a conservative constitutional scholar who served in the Justice Dept. during the Reagan admin. and has been affiliated with conservative think tanks like the American Enterprise Institute and the Heritage Foundation. He (and The Nation's John Nichols) made a very compelling case for impeachment on Bill Moyers Journal recently. Google Moyers and Fein, and you can watch the video or read the transcript. RECOMMENDED.

I'm going to send $10 to Dennis Kucinich just to show my support. You should too.

Terriffic, but there's a little rule in America called:
It's a little late

BEEautifull!!
I think.

Kucinich says that the war has cost the country $500+ billion dollars. However, the money does not disappear down a black hole. Rather, it moves out of a lot of tax-payer's pockets into the pockets of war-profiteers like Dick Cheney. It is too late in his vice-presidency to put band-aids on the limbs that people like Cheney and his corporate cronies have severed, but perhaps impeaching him would be a regenerative symbol of national rejection for the greed and hatred of human justice that he represents.

Cheney and Bush are traitors in my opinion.

Impeachment and removal from office of both war criminals is just the first step. The next is for Congress to give the World Court jurisdiction and have Interpol transport those two killers to be tried for crimes against humanity.

What is wrong with members of Congress? Don't they understand that they cannot get away with business as usual? Don't they understand that the only way to save the United States is to hold its traitors responsible for their actions?

I don't know what woodwork you guys crawled out of... There aren't enough straitjackets for everybody, so some of you will have to share...

Finally !!!!!! I want to know what I can do to help with this? This should have happened a long time ago, but better late than never. Both Cheney and Bush are a disgrace to the USA.

Cowards.

Whom do they fear?

Way to go Dennis! It's amazing that Pelosi has any kind of reputation for being a far-left liberal. She and Diane Feinstein ought to step aside and let real liberals move into leadership positions. My only regret is that Cheney isn't being brought up on war crimes charges.

To save our republic we must show that the egregious acts committed by the Cheney/Bush administration are not acceptable. While impeachment will be messy, it is wholly necessary in order to bring justice and stability back to executive branch. If we do nothing and oppose Kucinich's articles, then we are setting precedent for how nefarious we will allow the next tyrannical leader to be. Power is hard to reign back in once it gets out. We must act and reprimand this fascist leaning administration.

For those of you who think the time factor makes it not worth it to impeach: Just think how much more damage this team can do with their remaining time in office! They are already positioning to attack Iran.

Obviously the so called standard "news sources" have more important news items to cover like the LA "writers strike" than impeachment of the VP of the United States who has cost us much more than a few nights without Jay Lenno's monologue. Amazing that the Congressmen both Demos and Repubs can take time from their busy schedule jetting around blowing smoke as to what they "would do" about this or that as opposed to what they can do. The clock is ticking on the entire house of cards. Being a former Repub I am totally embarassed by this administration. They deserve to go down in flames.

What nobody seems to understand is that impeachment is bound to fail, because the Democrats will never get the necessary 2/3 vote in the Senate to convict. Therefore, it will be a waste of time and money, and result in a victory for Cheney. He will be laughing all the way to the bank, with the profits from the war he created.

It's time to take this one more step.

We know the Democrat leadership will do nothing that will hurt their finances.

Instead of following the reported polls why not elect Kucinich the Democratic Candidate for president.

Isn't it time the people were in charge? The only way that is going to happen is to get rid of the current Dem and Rep leadership and support only candidates that have shown they vote with the people. That may mean electing third party and independent candidates to Congress and Executive Branch.

But they couldn't do any worse. They will, however need to immediately nationalize campaign finance to eliminate the influence of PAC's and lobbyist.

Why on earth is this a FAR LEFT issue? Any American with an ounce of respect and half a brain is for impeaching both Cheney and Bush. They are guilty of treason and should spend the rest of their lives in jail for their crimes. VISUALIZE them in orange...It is the only way America can regain respect in the world...Say YES to IMPEACHMENT!

A complex issue and one supported by more than the fringe of either party. Impeachment, whether it leads to criminal charges or loss of position, would shine some light into what has become a dark maelstrom of of questionable actions. This country is stronger for questioning her leaders at all times.

Let the debate begin... let's look at evidence. It's about time that the Executive branch get's a little fear of the people (& God) to keep them in line!!
"When the government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny." -Thomas Jefferson

'bout damn time! Steny Hoyer and Pelosi are acting like GM and Ford do towards higher gas mileage staandards. A floor debate on impeachment will win the Democrats votes not lose them, why are they fighting? Because it would shake Rahm Emmanuel's DCCC chokehold on candidates and we'd see a bunch of progressives running in '08. And they'd win.
I only hope the judiciary isn't so full of Federalist Society idiots that we can still get them prosecuted for treason after they leave office, whether they're impeached or not. If that doesn't happen, maybe they can be held indefinitely as illegal enemy combatants. Cheney wouldn't survive 24 hours.

Thank god it finally happened. I think the the articals brain dead author has it all wrong about the republican vote to keep the debate alive. Most republican congressmen are overjoyed at the prospect of Cheney being impeached if for nothing else to save their party from oblivion. There are a few true republican patriots like Ron Paul in the house and Chuck Hagel in the senate. It would truly be ironic if the the impeachment/Removal of Cheney and subsequently Bush is driven primarily by Republicans but then again history is full of ironies. Maybe the democrates should be the ones worrying about political oblivion.

go to you tube and look up oklahoma city bombing ,you'll see live news feeds from that day, you will soon see we lost control a long time ago, the media decide what we think ,do ,and hear

Impeachment wasn't such an egregious waste of time and money when the Republicans did it to Bill Clinton over personal matters of no consequence to our nation. And they failed to convict. So what's the problem with Cheney standing for impeachment over alleged crimes of huge national import, regardless of the probability of a conviction?

Pelosi and the White House gave the same exact rationale for dismissing the notion of impeachment: that Congress should be focusing on S-CHIP, which they already passed only to have vetoed. And Pelosi added that they should be focusing on getting the troops out of Iraq, which they have failed to do time after time, as recently as last week.

Congress needs a 2/3 majority to get anything done in this political climate, including impeachment. So what's the difference between failing to provide healthcare to children, failing to end an unjust and unproductive war, and failing to impeach the leaders that sold us selective intelligence based on forged documents, aluminum tubes, and some nutjob named Curveball?

Does Dennis Kucinich believe in God? He's been praying to God for the past year that Congress finally call this administration out for their lack of transparency and accountability.

I hope Mr. Kane will re-educate himself on the views of Americans about impeachment. Polls from recent months show just over half supporting impeachment proceedings against Cheney, and slightly less than half against Bush.

And that's *before* there has been any true investigation, the kind that Conyers can do now that he has full investigative powers.

If only Mr. Kane and the mainstream press would report the facts, the country would swing overwhelmingly against this cabal of neo-fascist warmongers that threatens our constitutional form of government.

People out there, please fight the good fight and make sure this issue doesn't die! Call you representatives. Talk it up with your friends and co-workers. Impeachment is on the table finally! Hurray!

Let's not forget the words of Alabama gov. George Wallace - (paraphrased) There's not a dime's worth of difference between the Democrats and Republicans.
So there you have it; there will be no impeachment just as there will be no end to the illegal war of aggression against Iraq until we get an honest man elected to the oval office.

Bravo! It's about time. Here's how you can help;

Take a moment to call the Capitol switchboard first thing tomorrow at (202)
224-3121 or go to http://www.house.gov and enter your ZIP Code to
find your local member of Congress, and then tell them the following:

"I urge the Representative to VOTE TO START IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS
as outlined in HR 333."

United, we will send a message to Congress and our government leaders
that there is truly "power to the people."

The most Impeach-worthy administration EVER!

Thank heaven Dennis is there to start the ball rolling.

Let's hope our nation is still salvageable and the Dems MOVE ON IT!

Everyone, call your Congressmen and DEMAND IMPEACHMENT. Get Bush and Rice too!

Call (202) 224-3121 Capitol Hill

SOMEONE needs to do SOMETHING to hold this administration responsible for its actions--there is nothing "liberal" about that. Impeaching Cheney is a start. Republicans oppose the idea not on principle, but out of self-interest.

I hate to see this country torn further apart by politics, but it is worse still to stand by while our leaders make a mockery of the American people and our constitution.

Not only should he be impeached, he, the President, and Donald Rumsfield should be tried for war crimes.

Read Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions. The Supreme Court even reminded the Bush Administration (Including Cheney), that they were bound by law to comply with Article 3. They chose not to. Among other things, Article 3 prohibits the following treatment of ALL detainees:
(a) Violence to life and person, in particular murder of all kinds, mutilation, cruel treatment and torture;
(b) Taking of hostages;
(c) Outrages upon personal dignity, in particular, humiliating and degrading treatment;
It does not matter if detainees are considered prisoners of war. It does not matter if their treatment is declared not to be torture. If it is degrading alone it is prohibited. There is no reasonable person in the United States who can state that waterboarding or stress positions are not degrading, humiliating, or inhumane treatment.

Contrary to what the dense Democratic leadership believes, it's not just the "far left fringe" of their party which supports impeachment. Shame on them for arbitrarily and summarily removing a Constitutional provision from any consideration for political expediency, and hurrah for Rep. Kucinich for steadfastly forcing them to confront the evil power of the Administration.

The President and many others have toiled mightly to "earn" impeachment investigations. I certainly hope Rep. Conyers sees this as his opportunity to perform a needed and necessary chore for the benefit of the American people.

Impeach Cheney NOW!

Impeach! Evilness needs to be brought to justice.

Of course, no hate Bush lunatic can really point to any crime Cheney has committed, except in their deranged fantasies. Hating the Iraq war with irrational insanity does not mean Cheney has committed any crime, misdemeanor, or anything else.

There will be no impeachment or anything remotely close to it. It will never happen in a million years. The only reason House Republicans voted for this was to make fools out of the Democrats that support it...a grand total of about 20 or so,

Forget about polls. Polls mean next to nothing. Only the far Left in Congress and the public would seriously (not just in a hypothetical) try to get rid of Cheney. The Democrats, who think they are going to be back in the White House soon, are not going to jeopordize that possibility with an impeachment proceeding that could easily backfire on them. Not going to happen. Period.

We need to gut this filthy, corrupt and criminal regime in both parties! It is a false left-right paradigm and cabal of treasonous scum. Support Ron Paul who speaks real truth to real power that will destroy our nation. It's time to hang these criminals before they create another 9/11 as a pretext to nuke Iran and implement a total police-state.

Thank you Dennis for taking on Cheney. YES to IMPEACHMENT!!!

Bush and Cheney will find out that hell is hot.

The Vice President of our GREAT COUNTRY is a disgrace.He is a LIAR-he has a dirty mouth ,he is a drunk that can shoot his own friend and have his BOSS cover it up.
It should be no problem to put the right people in off to run this country.and i don't mean a REPUBLICAN

Only Bush had the courage to act to free Iraq from Saddam. That he made that commitment and stuck with it no matter what is real courage, not Dennis Kucinich's ludicrous impeachment attempt. It's getting to the point that liberals don't even know courage when they see it.

Every Congressperson swore an oath to defend the Constitution! THERE IS NOTHING MORE IMPORTANT ON THE AGENDA OF THE HOUSE!

Go Dennis Kucinich
this is round 2 of how many??
maybe not quit a victory but moving forward again.
We will have our day and Bushco's days are almost gone!
wost case exile these guys to Iraq or Iran!
I think they know what justice is,
oh yea does the geniva convention aplie thier?

I was trying to find out how my representative voted on this, but I cannot find the resolution listed in role call on house.gov. Would someone please explain to me how I find out how my representative voted no this? Thanks!

these guys just don't realize how many americans want impeachment. the rest of these bozos will get their just do when their ass comes up for re=election

This country needs a genuine leader who will remove and preferably annilate the incompetent White House we have today. The logical first step is to impeach Cheney. The country will follow a real leader if ever one emerges.

90% +_ of these comments are FOR impeachment!! That coincides with the country. No matter how hard illuminati fronts like the Washington Post try to play it down, the american people are finally realizing the country has been hijacked (since 1961, if not earlier) by a crimnal conspiracy.

The time is now people! Don't let this brave American flap in the wind by himself. Kucinich is risking everything to get our country back on track. Jam those switchboards and mailboxes. Let them hear you shreik with rage at at what the lying, murdering , war profiteering bums have done to this country. Do not just sit on your hands and say there is nothing we can do, or that it is too late. There are maybe a thousand or so elected politicians in DC. There are HUNDREDS of thousands of us. They are supposed to be working for us. We sent them there to uphold the Constitution. They have failed us miserably.
Impeach Cheney/Bush. Try them for TREASON and then turn them over to an International court to be tried for crimes against humanity.

The author wrote: "Democratic leaders long ago rejected any consideration of impeaching Cheney and President Bush as an irresponsible move supported only by the far left, so they tried today to table Kucinich's impeachment resolution."

I followed your hyperlink: it makes no reference to Democratic leaders characterizing impeachment as "an irresponsible move supported only by the far left"--none.

Hear hear!

Those commenting here do not think that the motion to impeach Cheney is foolish, or embarrassing.

George Bush and Dick Cheney invented a war and hundreds of thousands have died as a result. There is ample evidence that they have financially profited from this war. The United States as a nation is profoundly weakened by their actions.

These facts more than warrant impeachment!

It is really quite simple. I am VOTING for KUCINICH. Kucinich is a centre as you can get, but he is painted as left. I don't buy it.
I am voting for him in the primary/caucus and I am voting for him in the election. Even if he does not get the nomination, I am voting to him. And if you have any integrity, any brains and any compassion, you too will vote for him. It's that simple. Nobody but Kucinich 2008!

Have any of you ever read 1984? Living north of your border is like seeing the Hollywood movie version. Nothing is going to happen unless all you cowards, yes you are all cowards, force Conyers to do something. Otherwise we'll be talking about what cowards the Dems are. Don't go to work tomorrow. Start making phone calls. Phone everyone you know to phone your rep to push this thing forward. The whole world depends on you cowards to finally stop assuming your crooked politicians will do your bidding without your involvement. Get Up Stand Up.

Dick is obsessessed with warlike ME actions

every coment i read is in favor of impeachment. The hatered of this government is greater than we realize...the politicians better listen or we'll vote them out!

While we're at it, could we PLEASE impeach Pelosi and Reid??? Who is she to say it's off the table? AS long as there is a constitution it's on the table. It is not a cynical political maneuvre just because it was used as one against Clinton. It is the Founding Fathers' solution to High Crime in the Executive Branch. In this case a long list of crimes that have made a joke of Rule by Law. If the Democratic Congress pays Bush this $Billions for the war, it's theirs! They've bought it!!!!!

these people have obviously lied and commited huge warcrimes, I say hang em!!!

its about time to let them no we the american people are wakin up to there shenagans

There are numerous crimes that Cheney has committed. Prior to the war, start with the energy task force meeting, when he refused to disclose who attended that meeting as required by law. What did Cheney have to hide? That there were military advisers present and big oil interests who where planning a strategy to attack Iraq, destroy the infrastructure, and force most of Iraqi oil off the market. Cheney's plan was to impact world oil supply. After Iraq was bombed, and its oil production fell to one third, the oil supply took a hit, and oil went from $45 to $90 a barrel. The Oligarchy, the oil barons, and the Bush-Cheney oil buddies heavily invested in oil futures prior to the war, and they made a killing. Attacking Iran is for the same reason. To strike the oil infrastructure, manipulate supply downward and increase the price of oil.

With Cheney in command of Norad on the day of the 911 attack, did he arrange for all the simulated exercises that were used as decoys that day? We know that he gave the order to stand down as one plane approached the Pentagon on radar.

And yes, directing the fabrication of deceptive information about Iraq, as a false premise to go to war.

Illegally giving the orders to expose Valerie Plume, CIA agent.

Was Cheney involved in the B-52 equipped with nuclear missiles that was flown across the US without complying with strict military regulations. Was that plane on its way to attack Iran? Was that incident related to the billion dollar put option, betting on a large drop in the stock market in mid September?

Give me the story "Cheney Impeached."

I hope the Washington Post now realizes how many crazy lefties read its paper now. About 97% for impeachment. Come on WaPo jump on the wagon! IMPEACH!

Okay insomnia kicks in and I do find something on CNN. I'm confused...or is this just more Orwell Speak? This article was filed at 7:17 pm November 6th. This is all very weird...

November 6, 2007
Third time's not the charm for Kucinich
Rep. Dennis Kucinich would like to have the House debate impeaching Vice President Cheney.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The House voted Tuesday to stop Rep. Dennis Kucinich's, D-Ohio, effort to bring up a debate on impeaching Vice President Dick Cheney.

Kucinich, who is vying for the Democratic presidential nomination, has tried to bring up the issue on three separate occasions. The House voted 218-194 to send it to committee, effectively killing it.

On the House floor, Kucinich said Cheney "acted in a manner contrary to his trust as vice president." Kucinich also said Cheney harmed national security by openly threatening Iran.

"Vice President Richard B. Cheney by such conduct is guilty of an impeachable offense warranting removal from office," Kucinich said.

White House spokeswoman Dana Perino criticized Democrats in Congress for spending time on this debate rather than focusing on health care for children and veterans.

"This Congress has not sent a single appropriations bill to the president's desk this year - a new record of failure," Perino said.

"Yet, they find time to spend an entire work period on futile votes to impeach the vice president or to pass contempt citations against the president's chief of staff and former counsel. It is this behavior that leaves the American people shaking their head in wonder at this Congress," Perino added.
