1. I heart Dennis

I will be watching and cheering him on. It's about time. :patriot:

[no_to_war_economy]

122. like the avatar says

Dennis Kucinich
president

[Monkeyman]

2. Go Dennis Go

[demnan]

3. I wonder if he'll wear the pin

I gave him. It said IMPEACH HIM

[bdamomma]

4. I give Dennis alot of credit, but this corrupt and insane media

will show no mercy toward Dennis and the truth. Dennis is also to be on Bill Maher this Friday nite.

[John Q. Citizen]

6. The great thing about Dennis is he just keeps on doing the right thing and

isn't afraid of the media.

[harun]

50. History will remember the accuracy of his moral compass

amongst a sea of misled fools.

[Canuckistanian]

58. Yes, I agree

Kucinich is 'way ahead of the curve here.

The Cheney/Bush presidency will be even more reviled than Nixon's or LBJ's.

[harun]

82. That is saying something

> The Cheney/Bush presidency will be even more reviled than Nixon's or LBJ's.

How can we let that happen in this country? With all the ways people can communicate and organize now, how can we have let that happen. Thank God it is almost over.

[ronnie624]

158. The fools were not misled.

Many are simply corrupt and rotten to the core. others went along for political expediency. Others were simply afraid. Any member of Congress who was misled by the Bush administration, could not possibly have the intellectual capacity to effectively serve as a member of Congress.

During the 2000 election campaign, I had no doubts about the vileness of the Bush gang, and I had never logged even one second on the internet. In fact, it was the apparent collusion between the corporate media establishment and the Bush campaign in order to install these criminals in our government, which drove me to the internet for news and information. I can never believe that any member of Congress was fooled by these people.

The historical record will be very kind to Mr. Kucinich.

[chelsea0011]

35. You are so right.

The Bush crime family will call him all but a crazy outsider and the media will follow right along. I take it back. They will call him a crazy outsider.

[man4allcats]

89. I don't think he really gives a damn.

He's one of the few legislators we have (you could probably easily count them on the fingers of one hand) with the guts to do the right thing. You da man, Dennis! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Impeach the Bastards!

[jackster]

5. Step One.

one step at a time....

[Double T]

7. Can't wait for the fireworks coming from the WH............

Dennis is the only Democrat with REAL TRUE guts.

[elocs]

17. You mean, like the only Senator to cast a vote against the Patriot Act?

There just might be more than one Democrat with REAL TRUE guts.

[loudsue]

42. He's not a senator....he is a representative. Impeachment starts in the House.

:loveya: I'm so so so proud of Dennis Kucinich!! He's got balls the size of Texas.

:kick::kick::kick:

[elocs]

46. "Dennis is the only Democrat with REAL TRUE guts." Did I get the quote wrong?

It did not say senator or representative, just the only true Democrat. I also doubt that he is the "only" Democratic member of the House with real, true guts. There might be one or 2 more. Let's hope so, otherwise we are in trouble.

[Thor_MN]

81. All we need is to get a Senator and Rep to agree to do it.

[elocs]

85. The House votes to bring articles of impeachment and the Senate tries the case.

It takes 67 votes in the Senate to convict. We know exactly who the jury will be and have a good idea how they might vote. Probably more would vote to convict Cheney at this time than Bush, but if the articles were brought right now there would be no vote for probably many months.

[Thor_MN]

100. Exactly, But it takes one Rep and one Senator to get the ball rolling

The entire House could be for impeachment and if no Senators speak up it's dead in the water. Likewise Every Senator could be for impeachment, but if no Rep speaks out, nothing happens. I wouldn't mind Congress dragging Cheney's ass through the mud over the summer and into the fall.

[elocs]

105. I don't know from where you are getting this idea that 1 Rep and 1 Senator are needed?

From: http://www.abanet.org/publiced/impeach2.html




"Q. What is the role of the House of Representatives in impeachment under the Constitution?
A. Article 1, Section 2, of the Constitution specifies that "the House of Representatives...shall have the sole power of impeachment." This means that it has the power to bring charges against an official.

Q. What is the Senate's role under the Constitution?
A. Once impeached, high officials are tried by the Senate. Article 1, Section 3, specifies, "The Senate shall have the sole power to try all impeachments. When sitting for that purpose, they shall be on oath or affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no person shall be convicted without the concurrence of two thirds of the members present."

Where does it say that 1 representative and 1 senator are needed to get the process started? The House has the "sole" power of impeachment. The Senate has the "sole" power to try all impeachments. I think this is clear. Impeachment is not conviction just the same as indicting a person for a crime that everybody seems to claim is guilty is the same as conviction.

[Thor_MN]

107. Do you recall the Reps trying to impeach Bush?

Rep after rep stood up and called for impeachment proceedings. Rep after Rep was asked if ther was a Senator who joined them. Rep after Rep walked away saying no.

Impeachment proceedings will not begin unless ar least one Rep and one Senator call for them.

[Thor_MN]

108. If * decided to replace Dickhead, that person could become the third unelected President.

[elocs]

109. Wrong. You are thinking of the verification of the 2000 election.

The irony was that Gore was presiding as rep after rep stood up, asking for a senator to join them. Impeachment is brought solely by the House--that is clear.

[Thor_MN]

110. My bad.

Haven't had any coffee yet this morning....

[elocs]

113. No problem. Have a good day. n/t

[nebenaube]

117. I've been wondering about the "67" vote thing...

Article 1, Section 3, specifies, "The Senate shall have the sole power to try all impeachments. When sitting for that purpose, they shall be on oath or affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no person shall be convicted without the concurrence of two thirds of the members present."


So as I read this it's not two thirds of the the members of the Senate; it's two thirds of the members present.

And what about the "Chief Justice"? Would Roberts recuse himself?

[IronLionZion]

127. and regime change begins at home.

:patriot: If Dennis and the house impeaches Cheney, and the Senate removes him, I will really have a lot more confidence in America's future.

[jilln]

48. I think that was Russ Feingold.

[elocs]

52. Yeah, his picture is my avatar. I am proud to have him as my Senator. n/t

[kenfrequed]

118. Lucky you

I miss having Wellstone as my Senator. I envy you.

[GOTV]

26. Probably no fireworks - they won't find it a credible threat. n/t

[rodeodance]

130. Cheney said he is going about IMPORTANT business (yup, he did)

[whistle]

8. Nail Cheney and Waxman can issue impeachment articles

...against George W Bush for voter fraud:kick:

[louis-t]

14. Uh, uh, uh....

ELECTION fraud.

[Wiley50]

9. But, will Nancy let this come to the floor? That's the question n/t

[Freddie Stubbs]

11. Not an issue

I won't even make it out of the Judiciary Committee. What part of 'off of the table' don't people understand?

[elocs]

18. People are just not used to somebody who means what they say.

That's why they cannot possibly believe that Pelosi actually means that impeachment is off the table.

[AikidoSoul]

157. The table

[kenfrequed]

38. We shall see

I doubt Kucinich will let it drop at that.

Kucinich is earnest about this effort and truly believes (as I do) that impeachment is what is required. The cowardly position of the worry-trolls, DLC defaults, and the phoney-pragmatists is actually the wrongest possible position and will lose in both the short term (being uninspiring to the people at large) and the long term (history will ONLY be kind to those who make the stand).

The unfortunate bit is that the right wing smear machine will shout that Kucinich is using this as a campaign issue to gain some ground on his better funded (but rather boring and absurdly moderate competetion).

This isn't entirely bad news though as it changes the argument. The "Is Dennis crazy" question just can't sustain itself and any attempts to profile him for his 'craziness' will actually just give him ink and put progressive issues on the table. Any leftward shift on the issues will actually benefit ALL Democratic candidates (even the ones a bit too moderate for my tastes).

[Freddie Stubbs]

154. Being that he does not serve on the Judiciary Committee, he will not

have much say in the matter once it is introduced. It will be referred to that committee.

[Zorra]

72. Obviously, it is a very important issue to Rep. Kucinich, just as it is a very

important issue to many other Democrats. If it does not make it out of the Judiciary Committee, well, then that will be the fault of either a corrupt and/or incompetent Judiciary Committee. Cheney is a traitor, a liar, and a crook, and deserves to be, at the very least, publicly insulted for his crimes against the people of our country and the world by a call for his impeachment.

Rep. Kucinich is completely justified in calling for Cheney's impeachment.

What exactly does "off the table" mean? Something like, "shut up and do as you are told"?

[Freddie Stubbs]

155. "Off the table" means that it will not be considered

Considering the fact that Kucinich was not able to get one single Democrat to cosponsor this, it appears that it is off the table.

[Mister Ed]

78. I have a table here in my office

I take stuff off of it. I put stuff back on again. No problem.

Pelosi is a tough, smart lady. She chose her words very carefully, and she knew what she was saying.

She didn't say "out of the question". She said "off the table".

[bilgewaterbill]

88. I agree. Put it back on the table.

[Thor_MN]

102. Bush had no war plans on his desk. Maybe Nancy has impeachment on her desk instead of on the table,

At least I hope so, Bush apparently pulled his war plans out of his ass, after all.

10. Short term and long term Kucinich. This country likes heroes with

guts. To counter this right wing Welch-Murdoch-corporate news grip on us - for the sake of history - I hope someone is writing a biography of American's hero - Kucinich. And if no big name publisher will take it - we and some foundations should fund the printing and distribution. Just like Regenery and Harper-Collins does for their partners.

And I also hope someone can document a chronological account of his efforts and quotes.

There are so few voices speaking for us.

[EVDebs]

51. AUDACITY, AUDACITY, ALWAYS AUDACITY !!!!!!!!!!!

The Alice's Restaurant movement has begun; let's all start singing IN UNISON now, cuz if we want it we can get it !

[dweller]

76. and those against it? well, they can go sit

on the Group W bench.

makes more sense now, doesn't it?

[EVDebs]

87. The chorus is coming around again.....here it comes.... let's all start in ! nt

[shenmue]

12. Yaaaaaaaaaaay!

Go Dennis!

:yourock: :headbang: :woohoo: :loveya: :kick: :patriot:

[Pharaoh]

13. Nail Cheney and Rove

and W's head will explode! :nuke:

[jwirr]

16. If we could get them and gonzo he would be lost. No one to support

him.

[Parche]

15. impeach cheney

And this comes out to celebrate!!!

[Duncan]

23. Is this an ad?

I heard that some advertisers are actually paying folks to do "stealth" advertising on discussion boards.
I mean, Heineken? If Cheney is impeached I'm drinking some old scotch or good tequila or something, or at least some Tuppers.

[NYC]

37. I occasionally post a picture of

Veuve Clicquot champagne, and it has nothing to do with advertising. So maybe the Heineken is not an ad.

Welcome to DU. :hi:

[Duncan]

139. Thanks for the welcome

but I've been visiting DU since Nov 04 almost daily.
Just don't post much
I miss Truth-Is-All.

[MsKandice01]

40. Yeah...seriously...

Heineken? I can drink beer any day of the week. But if Cheney gets impeached, it's time to drag out the good stuff...along with cheering and dancing in the streets.

[Aviation Pro]

73. Parche, this is not directed to you....

Here Freeper, Freeper, Freeper. Here's your courage:



Freepers, in addition to being quite the hoot, are unbelievable alcoholics.

[B3Nut]

112. I don't see a typical Freeper

going for a 15-year-old single malt Scotch. I was thinking something more along the lines of Ripple or MD 20/20. Though Jack Daniels or Jim Beam isn't out of the question (not that either of those is bad, I do prefer Knob Creek and Makers Mark bourbon, though.) But high-end Scotch? Nah...

But if they actually impeach Cheney I'm gonna splurge on a premium bottle of something... :D

[jmowreader]

145. Wrong bait...

[Dr.Phool]

19. If he can vote to impeach Bill Clinton,

Cheney and Bush should be no brainers. No pun intended.

[cosmicdot]

24. Kucinich???

The Impeachment Vote

The House of Representatives voted Dec. 19 on four articles of impeachment. Article I, alleging perjury before a grand jury, passed 228-206. Article II, accusing the president of perjury in a civil lawsuit, failed 229-205. Article III, alleging obstruction of justice, was approved 221-212. Article IV, charging abuse of power, failed 285-148. To identify your representative or for contact information for individual members, see the Congressional Guide.

31. Why not Bush and Cheney?

[truthisfreedom]

32. Hard to do simultaneously. Can't risk having Cheney in charge.

Impeaching and convicting Cheney first is a safe bet.

[babsbunny]

33. We have to thank him! Encourage him!

Anyone know how?

[Nightjock]

34. I wonder how the media will treat this?

My guess.... "he is a far left, liberal, radical, blah, blah, does not represent a majority of Democrats, blah, blah, bullshit,bullshit..."

And than it goes away....

Another interesting angle...

What will the other Dem presidential candidates say? Will Hillary take a stand? What about Obama?

My guess...they run away fast.

I hope I am wrong.

[loudsue]

44. Hillary & Obama will try to distance themselves from the issue.

They're too busy trying to be marketable to be real statesmen/women at this point. And that is NOT what this country needs right now! We need people to get rid of the criminal mafia that has overtaken this country, and not just be bought-off by the huge megadollars coming their way.

O8) I hope this impeachment goes all the way to removal! O8)

Cheney has committed more crimes than any mafia boss.

91. just emailed Pelosi. Get impeachment back on the table!

Thanks for the addy - only took a minute. I encourage everybody to email her, tell her we need to air this out to the end.
Too long has American been run by crooks and liars.

Dear God, let me live long enough to see Cheney and Bush both impeached!

[In Truth We Trust]

57. Kucinich 08! Now go get Bush** too.

[calimary]

59. I think I've probably called seven or eight congresspeople, including

my own "Heavenly Henry" Waxman, demanding that they support this.

If you want to, tomorrow morning, there are several TOLL FREE Capitol Hill switchboard numbers in my sig line below - for your convenience. Kucinich and his supporters will be up against the most awesome tsunami of godless, treasonous, lying, cheating, corner-cutting, scheming, murderous, manipulative, criminal opponents known to God and man. Dennis NEEDS to know we have his back. And OUR REPS need to know that, too. So THEY, in turn, will have his back also. SAME THING for Nancy Pelosi.

In fact, I called Harry Reid's office today and dropped a mention of it there, and told him I - one of millions of good guys who worked our tails off all last year to make sure the Dems got back into power (hint, hint) - WANT THIS. No. I take that back. "WANT" is not strong enough. I DEMAND this!!!

Lets get her done!:) :kick:

[mutantbarmonkey]

66. Oh Frabjous Day

As much as I despise Bush/Cheney/Rove and the rest of the evil minions I was actually against impeachment up until about a year ago on the grounds that these morons have been devisive enough. But we just don't know what they're going to do next and how many more they're going to kill. Way to go, Representative Kucinich. I just hope the rest of the Dems stand up with you.

[jamesinca]

64. Dennis Dennis Dennis!!!

I hope this goes somewhere, and opens up all of their dirty little secrets. Can Cheney use national security or executive privilege on matters involved in his impeachment? Can he take the 5th?

[Imagevision]

65. But Nancy says NO! we don't want to go there.... Nancy, sit down!

[Old Vet]

68. Has anyone heard what media will be covering this?

Wondering where I can watch this, Dennis is gonna be swiftboated like noone has ever seen. Maybe hes just tired of of the bullshit, Iam also afraid some democrats will join the pile-on also watch.

[knight_of_the_star]

70. The timing on this could be a lot better

Namely Bush and Co are currently spiraling out of control with the attorney scandal, by putting forward articles of impeachment this draws attention away from something that could nail the whole administration instead to one guy who, while important, isn't the whole shebang and unfortunately does give the GOP machine ammo for claiming that the investigations are partisan fishing expeditions. A political Falaise pocket, Kucinich is stamping on the possibility of the Dems and the people nailing EVERYONE and knocking them down one after the other and instead is giving the opportunity to get only one and let the rest go.

[Le Taz Hot]

111. Actually, Cheney IS the "whole shebang"

You don't actually believe Bush is in charge do you? With Gonzo gone (and he WILL be gone) and Cheney gone (assuming Pelosi actually grows a spine) he has virtually no support. His original legions of supporters is down to a trickle now. Prominent conservatives all over the country are urging him to stand down on Iraq before he completely destroys their party.

Oh, and by all means, lets be fearful of giving the conservative media "ammo." By what? Keeping the powder dry? The conservatives and their lapdog MSM will make those accusations anyway. That little mini revolution in 2006 were shouts by the voters of America DEMANDING change from their representatives -- Republican AND Democrat. No more war. No more corruption. No more sweetheart deals with big corps. If this batch won't stand up here and now at this VERY historic moment, they too can be replaced.

[knight_of_the_star]

146. You're missing the point

We take out Cheney, we absolve Bush of responsibility. We allow for the administration to pull out the bullshit argument that unfortunately too many people will believe that with Cheney gone we're fixing the problem. That and Bush still has people who support him, and to assume he can't pull in replacements who are just as bad but not tarred with a bad reputation like say Robert Gates as an example of that kind of bait and switch is to be failing to look any further than the end of your nose. That and knowing Bush if we don't get all of them one after the other then they will find ways to recover, we can't just nibble away we have to setup the impeachment so there is no question it needs to happen in the minds of at least 60% of the American people AND we have to get them ALL, one after the other, not a little bit here a little bit there. Doing it one piece at a time lets them get replacements, we have to get them ALL at once or we're going to have a hard, messy fight up ahead of us.

"Oh, and by all means, lets be fearful of giving the conservative media "ammo." By what? Keeping the powder dry? The conservatives and their lapdog MSM will make those accusations anyway.

No more sweetheart deals with big corps. If this batch won't stand up here and now at this VERY historic moment, they too can be replaced."

The big thing the GOP used to campaign against us is, "They'll impeach if they get in." Granted it was more to rile up the base, but what if we prove them right? We're going to lose credibility with the voters who put the party back in charge to fix the problem, not crucify Bush.

That and there's one other problem I have with this: it smells waaaaay too much like Kucinich is doing it not because it needs to be done or because it can be pulled off but to get attention to get the nomination. That he's doing this and not working with the rest of the party to get ALL of them ALL at once has lost a lot of respect for him in my eyes that he's putting his own ego, his own image, ahead of the greater good of the whole of taking them ALL out. That and thanks to him attention is now going the wrong way: to his impeachment effort and NOT to the fuckups caused by BUSH. By going after Crashcart instead of waiting until we can get them all at once he has given Bush a way out and a way to look good and clean. If you're ok with that then you seem to be missing the long-term picture and the bigger perspective.

[Ninja Jordan]

71. Vintage Kucinich: waste time on idealistic bills that won't pass, while berating Reid's real efforts

Will Kucinich step up to the plate and back Reid and Congressional dems on the new pullout legislation? Or should we expect to see more of the same nonsense from this guy?

[knight_of_the_star]

74. He's done worthwhile stuff in the past

The problem is when he does things like this that are lots of sound and fury and accomplish nothing.

[LWolf]

86. I hope we see more of the same integrity,

the same determination and passion for truth and for real action.

I hope he continues his long-term efforts to end the mess in Iraq and bring our troops home. My question is this:

How many Congressional dems, including Reid, have supported DK's previous efforts to end the funding of the Iraq disaster and bring our troops home, and how many have spouted nonsensical rhetoric while they voted to support the war?

[OzarkDem]

99. He already has n/t

[speedoo]

132. Remember when the only Dems calling for and end to this illegal war...

were guys named Howard Dean and Dennis Kucinich? "Idealistic" was actually a mild criticism back then.

(maybe there were others, but Harry Reid was certainly not among them, two or three years ago.)

[angryxyouth]

75. Dennis is Awesome The DNC sucks

It is easy to see how the rest of the dems are going to handle this. To torture myself I went to the DNC website. NOT EVEN A MENTION OF KUCINICH!!! I would think that this would be at least news worthy on the Dem website. WAKE UP CALL JOHN DEAN, NANCY P, HARRY R. This is what this Nation needs and wants. IMPEACH those GD MFing treasonous bastards.:banghead: :banghead:

[goforit]

80. Hat off to Dennis!!! May the sound be heard around the world.

[Canuckistanian]

84. Dennis will be remembered as a visionary

The first to even suggest any kind of punishment for Cheney's crimes.

Dennis, here's to you.

97. Under Impeachment, Cheney can't be pardoned - it's the one restriction

of the President's power to pardon in the Constitution.

[OzarkDem]

98. The last real Dem left in DC n/t

[missTheBigDog]

101. No doubt, the guy has some guts

I'm not sure it'll get anywhere, but you go DK!

[mirrera]

103. My "on the table" Bumper Sticker!

In Maine I made this for use at some Impeachment events. We can do this!!!!

[cyclezealot]

104. Goo Dennis. You are our leader.

Make us proud.

[bdamomma]

106. I totally support Dennis

and want the arrogance of this filthy administration to go down in flames.

[YOY]

114. Thank you Dennis

You and I know firsthand about the economic destruction these fearmongering asswipes have instilled on Ohio.

Show 'em you have the balls.

[Doctor_J]

115. the media will be all over this

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[MayorCandidate08]

116. Now will his fellow Dems be brave enough?

I fear not...:(

[gorbal]

119. Everyone is putting him down now.

They are trying their hardest to make him look like a silly little kid. Hopefully hisory will bite them in the ass, just like the Bill Moyers special we all have to watch.

[lonestarnot]

120. No that it will be "on the table," let's just see how much SUPPORT IT GETS!

THANK YOU DENNIS! :loveyou:

[cyberpj]

121. THIS A.M. - CHENEY SEEKS MEDICAL AID AGAIN FOR DVT. (Coincidence? Doubt it.)

I can't find online info on this yet but I heard it for sure on MSNBC around 9am this morning.

First they said he went to hospital.

Then they came back and said someone called to tell them he went to his doctor's office, not the hospital.

Stay tuned.

AND HOW DARE KUCINICH GO AFTER THIS SICK MAN!! :sarcasm:

[LeftHander]

123. Does DK have a smoking gun?

I hope so...that would be SPECTACULAR!

[Radical Activist]

136. I doubt it.

Its probably another press attention-getter, which is what he usually does.

[IWantAChange]

124. It's about time someone with a national audience raised the Impeachment issue.

The first shot has been fired and another log has been thrown on the fire - keeping the light shining on the many foibles of the Bushco regime.

[myrna minx]

125. It's about time.

[bdamomma]

126. 12 noon is the time when Dennis will announce this!!

[Old Smokey]

128. Stick it to 'em !!!

impeach those rotten bastards

[rodeodance]

129. I do not have cable so fill us in please.

[BobMorr]

131. What channels are going to cover this?

Anyone hear anything on the coverage for this?

[mnhtnbb]

137. Watching CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, CSPAN 1 and 2. NO COVERAGE

from noon until now.

[mnhtnbb]

138. Cancelled. I should have checked DU for an update!

[Baron Harkonen]

133. I can't wait

People take this Country back, this bad dream is almost over.

[greiner3]

134. Can't find the feed either;

If it's not on, it did not happen. It COULD be covered by faux, however I have had all those channels blocked for almost a year. I'll leave it to those with access to look there.

[Radical Activist]

135. That's the way to do it.

Impeach Cheney first so he won't become President if they impeach Bush. Impeaching Cheney will bring out enough dirt in the process to convict Bush for all his crimes.

[robbedvoter]

140. 100th kick!

[Alizaryn]

141. It has been postponed !

http://kucinich.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=63379



"Washington, Apr 24 -
WASHINGTON, D.C. — “News reports this morning indicate the Vice President was experiencing a medical crisis. Until the Vice President’s condition is clarified, I am placing any action on hold,” Kucinich said. "

[slampoet]

143. Great!! they fooled Kucinich again!!!

Screw this process



WHERE ARE THE TORCHES?

[Marnieworld]

144. Cheney's been experiencing a medical crisis for 20 years

This is total bullshit. Have they no shame?

:grr:

[knight_of_the_star]

147. Wait a minute

He's putting this grand, glorious, necessary action of great integrity that can't seem to wait on hold because Crashcart is having a convenient medical problem? Sounds to me like he knows he won't be able to pull it off and he's trying to back out. Integrity my ass, sounds more like, "I want a spotlight on me!!!!"

[electron_blue]

149. 2nd postponement in 2 weeks, am I right?

Let's hope the time is finally "right" for impeachment soon.

[bobbie]

142. Kucinich--one of the few good men

Did I say "good"?
I meant "great."

[Seabiscuit]

150. Is this the first time in history a presidential candidate introduced articles of impeachment

against a sitting V.P.?

I think so.

Gutsy.

[IsItJustMe]

151. Whether your gonna vote for Kucinich or not, you got to love him.

God bless you Kucinich.

[electron_blue]

152. Kucinich's website says it's "on" again for 5pm eastern. It should be happening now, but

Can anyone find out whether this is actually happening?

[L. Coyote]

156. K&R. I voted for impeachment by sending $3.33 to Kucinich?

Should Americans vote for impeachment by sending just $3.33 to Kucinich?
