Kucinich to Introduce Impeachment of Bush Before State of the Union January 28
Kucinich to Introduce Impeachment of Bush Before State of the Union January 28

In a brazen show of courage, Congressman Kucinich took to the House Floor yesterday and called Bush and Cheney the liars that they are.

"The President and Vice President lied and 4,000 of our soldiers died. The President and Vice President lied and a million innocent Iraqis died in a war that'll cost us two trillion dollars while people here in the states are losing their jobs, their health care, their homes, their dignity. Lies are weapons of mass destruction. Lies are also an impeachable offence. Monday, January 28th is the State of the Union. We already know the State of the Union, it's a lie."

Dennis said his piece, then had to retract it.

This clip also shows why Congress won't let C-SPAN control the cameras and microphones.

I had to fast-forward to get it into 10 minutes.

1. Nancy will not like this . . .
After all - she gets a lot of camera-time during the SOTU.

She will be on the phone to DK with all kinds of threats.

6. I predict the shortest SOTU ever. Least applause, weakest pResident.

4. Thank you for posting this.
And thank you, Congressman Kucinich, for standing up for truth.

Why is it, in 2008, that telling the truth is considered to be "offensive?"

Dennis Kucinich has dropped out of the primaries and is focused on his
Congressional relection campaign. He's facing some heavily funded interests opposing him. I think we've just seen why there might be an aggressive attempt to unseat him.

Now that he is not running for president, I would like to see Dennis Kucinich as Speaker. I think, honestly, that's the best position for what he brings to our table.

7. Go Dennis!!
:patriot:

I will be sending Kucinich $MONEY$ so he can protect his House seat from Conservative Democrats (DLC) in the Democratic Primary. I beg all Progressive Democrats to do the same.
There are many Conservative Democrats (Blue Dog, New Dems, DLC) that would like Dennis to disappear.
He makes them look bad.


”Unlike other candidates, I am not funded by those corporate interests.
I owe them no loyalty, and they have no influence over me or my policies.”
---Dennis Kucinich
