Kucinich once again sides with the teabaggers. This time he wants Obama impeached!

[apples and oranges]

Gee what a surprise!

[polichick]

1. Tea partiers and liberals have one thing in common...

We know we're being screwed - even if we don't always know (or admit) who's behind it.

[cottonseed]

2. Kucinich has soft teeth.

He's harmless.

[The_Casual_Observer]

3. Please let me know about any stand that Dennis has taken that proved to be wrong

in the long run.

[Peregrine Took]

5. +1000 n/t

[DevonRex]

7. That Obama should be impeached.

That was just too easy.

[The_Casual_Observer]

8. Time will tell.....

[DevonRex]

10. So you think Obama should be impeached, too?

[The_Casual_Observer]

12. Time will tell

[DevonRex]

13. It already told.

[LWolf]

45. I think he should never have been elected.

I think he's one of the biggest mistakes I've seen the party make in my 51 years.

I think that he's a disaster for the party and the nation.

That doesn't equal impeachment. If we couldn't get Democrats to impeach that fucking criminal GWB, it's sure as hell not going to happen with Obama.

I agree with DK's sentiment, though.

[apples and oranges]

47. Was Clinton your choice? You do realize she's the one who talked

him into this... yes?

[LWolf]

49. No, Clinton was not my choice, although

the automatic assumption that she was is predictable.

I didn't have a pony in that race. It was narrowed down to 2 unacceptable candidates after only 2 caucuses and 2 primaries. My own primary didn't happen until late May, and I'd had no stake in it for 5 months.

[ReggieVeggie]

29. OK! That's one (arguably)

anything else?

[DevonRex]

31. That is the only one I'm interested in at the moment.

I usually agree with him. But sometimes, as in this instance, he goes off the deep end.

[ProSense]

16. Well,

if your talking about things that would fail Kucinich's own test for grandstanding:

he voted for a bill that declared the U.S. a Christian nation
voted for the 1998 Iraq Liberation Act
voted for the health care law (isn't the mandate supposed to be unconstitutional?)

Now he's cluelessly advocating that the President be impeached for acting within his powers to engage in a U.N. sanctioned action. Even if Kucinich wants to call it war, the President did not violate the War Powers Act.

Be sure to read about Kucinich's unconstitutional bill to end the Fed.

Krugman: Paleomonetarism

He needs to stay away from Ron Paul.

[Shiver]

19. He's also drafting legislation

that would "ban the purchase, sale, transfer, or possession of handguns by civilians. A gun buy-back provision will be included in the bill." (source)

Which, whatever your feelings on guns may be, is against the second amendment.

[kirby]

22. That depends on your interpretation of the 2nd...

Despite the corrupt rationalization by the supreme court, those important 'A well regulated militia' words that have been cast aside in the Heller ruling make a huge different on my interpretation.

[Shiver]

23. A fair point.

I had always interpreted it differently, despite my utter disdain for guns.

[Raine1967]

21. Did you forget this?

http://www.commondreams.org/headlines03/0223-05.htm

Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich, a recent entrant to the Democratic presidential sweepstakes, is in many ways a perfect match for Northern California. He opposes war with Iraq. He advocates universal health care, workers' rights and a holistic world view. He introduced legislation to create a cabinet-level Department of Peace. He is not just a vegetarian, he is a vegan.

But Kucinich also possesses one of the most anti-abortion voting records of any Democrat in Congress.

During his eight years in the House, Kucinich voted with abortion-rights advocates barely 10 percent of the time. Twice in the past three years, the National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League, now known as NARAL Pro-Choice America, gave him a rating of "zero."

On the stump this past week, and in an interview with The Chronicle, Kucinich now describes himself as "pro-choice." He said he has undergone a slow evolution that has led him to the conclusion that legal abortions are not only constitutionally sound, but also fundamental to a woman's equality.

http://www.commondreams.org/headlines03/0223-05.htm

WRONG WRONG WRONG.

[ReggieVeggie]

30. did you read your own link?

"led him to the conclusion that legal abortions are not only constitutionally sound, but also fundamental to a woman's equality."

[Raine1967]

35. Yes, I did --

It means Dennis himself admitted he was wrong.

[NorthCarolina]

39. So, Obama is still "evolving" on Gay Marriage too. Oh, but I forgot, it's OK because

Obama's not one of those damned evil Libruls like Kucinich that were (apparently) in the process of ridiculing and demonizing. Good luck with that.:eyes:

[treestar]

18. So if only he were President, then there would be a President who

should never be questioned?

43. So you approve of Obama's New Health Care Law??

Just asking...

[LWolf]

44. +1

[msongs]

4. once again obama sides with teabaggers - approves tax breaks for wealthy

by failing to veto them. see how easy that is to do :-)

[ClarkUSA]

33. How can he veto a bill that got more than 60 votes in the Senate?

[phleshdef]

6. Kucinich has lost me on this impeachment thing. His credibility is questionable now.

[polichick]

24. LOL - but Obama's credibility is cool. Too funny.

[phleshdef]

26. Kucinich knows damn good & well that nothing impeachable occurred.

Well either he knows it, or he is actually just THAT ignorant on how war powers work and that relates to our alliances and treaties signed with the UN. I can't imagine him actually being that ignorant, so I think he is bullshitting. His opposition to getting involved in a No-fly Zone operation is fine, thats not a problem. But he isn't being honest.

[polichick]

46. At this point, very few politicians have any credibility - not even the prez.

[jefferson_dem]

9. Just when he was starting to appear somewhat sensible, Kooch puts his clown shoes back on.

[DevonRex]

11. He had to match his shoes to the rest of his outfit.

:hi:

[xocet]

14. Author Too Lazy to Provide Link as Back-Up...n/t

[Travelman]

15. On what grounds?

I may have missed it somewhere, but what high crime or misdemeanor does Dennis claim that Obama committed?

"I don't like what he did" is not grounds for impeachment of the President under our Constitution.

[bigdarryl]

17. He will be on BIG ED'S radio show today very shortly I'm hearing he is steaming over this

[Bodhi BloodWave]

20. would you mind making a brief rundown of what is said on the show

here on this thread or starting a new one for those of us who lives outside the US, unless ofcourse you know a link to the show(assuming one exist)

[catgirl]

25. I think the aliens brainwashed him

What a joke he is.

28. Kucinich has gone overboard with this one revealing his jealous/envious streak

He has become a SNIPER, NIT PICKER

[Tarheel_Dem]

32. In the words of Gomer Pyle, Surprise! Surprise! Surprise!

:eyes:

NOT! :thumbsdown:

[ClarkUSA]

34. Kucinich can be such an attention whore. What has he actually done as a Congressman again?

Besides being an attention whore (and voting for HCR, which I give him credit for).

[krawhitham]

38. Nothing

[forty6]

41. Nothing times 10,0000!

[krawhitham]

37. You want to primary someone, primary Kucinich

He is one of the worst reliable votes in congress

[forty6]

42. Guarantee's Obama's second term and K's retirement into absentia! n't

[forty6]

40. Dennis the fool...........playing to the Tea Party to get attention!

Why am I not surprised?

[Fire1]

48. Say it ain't so! n/t

[ReggieVeggie]

50. Strange that my previous post was deleted

All I did was represent what the OP states, that because Kucinich brought up the idea that Obama's action could be considered an impeachable offense he is necessarily "siding" with the Teabaggers. Shouldn't the OP be deleted for saying terribly insultory things about a Democrat?
