This is getting good.

[bleever]

1. Pretty damn good.

K&R.

[DesertRat]

2. k&r

[malaise]

6. Actuary threatened with sanctions

if he gave Congress the actual costs of the drug benefits.

[DesertRat]

12. Bush failed to take sufficient action on Katrina! Go Dennis

[trueblue2007]

When DK started on Katrina.....I started crying

bush was at mccains birthday party and New Orleans died.

[Art_from_Ark]

65. All he did was fly over the disaster area in his jet

and appoint a total incompetent to oversee the disaster (mis-)management

[Raster]

182. "heckofa job, Brownie"

[Art_from_Ark]

184. Yeah, Brownie and his contaminated FEMA trailers

Heckuva job

[Muttocracy]

Medicare stuff now - which article are we on? nt

[malaise]

7. #30

about to start #31

Katrina - go Dennis!!!

[Muttocracy]

11. my c-span stream has a slight time delay so the comments get ahead of my ears :)

[malaise]

17. No problem

I'm lovin it. Go Dennis!!

[Fire Walk With Me]

3. This is what the path to freedom looks like.

[LSparkle]

4. Wow -- 3 threads already! I was in another ... glad to be on the "official"

Just spoke to Kucinich's office and was thrilled to
be able to express my thanks for Dennis speaking up
for ALL OF US who believe this is not just an OPTION
but something Congress is REQUIRED to do. Thank God
there's one man out there who UNDERSTANDS his oath
of office!

[SeattleGirl]

5. Dennis's words are music to my ears.

He is so detailed in his presentation. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Dark]

8. This is a terrible idea.

I knew the Dems would try to lose the election again.

[xiamiam]

13. the truth is always good enough...nt

[Dark]

20. Yea... tell that to 2000, 2002, 2004.

You have to play smart, and consider what's in the best interests of the Country. More divisiveness isn't

[G_j]

44. and that is why we are in the dark , pun intended

no thank you!

rape is rape, treason is treason,
no justice, no peace

[Dark]

62. Yea, this'll really get us justice.

OTOH, focusing on minimizing Bush's damage and electing Obama will bring us peace.

[uppityperson]

64. keeping this administration in power thru McCain is "divisevness"?

Yeah yeah yeah,war is peace and all that stuff. Don't switch horses in the middle of a stream and don't make waves against a sitting president.

[Dark]

82. An impeachment is divisive, and will generate pity for Bush.

You don't think that everyone knows what a corrupt piece of shit the man is? 80% of the country says we're on the wrong track. Americans know president dipshit is a tainted, evil puppet.

But give him a chance to paint himself as a victim? That'll mobilize the base and generate pity support for McCain. Remember that NYTimes article on McCain and lobbyists? It was true, but the base rallied around McCain because they saw it as liberal bullying.

But hey, throw away the election again.

[Moochy]

91. "but hey throw away the election again"

yeah you'd like that

[Dark]

97. Uh, no I wouldn't. That's why I want these pointless circle jerks to stop.

I want passable legislation to provide Americans with real help, not pie-in-the-sky proposals that will only be used against us in the fall.

[uppityperson]

111. damn straight! Don't call him on ANY of his High Crimes! I mean, after all, what would oreilly say?

And we know how many swing voters listen to him!!

[Dark]

127. What would be better would be to instead try to start fixing some of the problems right now.

But no, we have to make a stand against George W. Hitler!

As for O'Reilly, it's not so much the moderates I'd worry watch that as the base. They're demoralized right now, but get them fired up, and they'll spin this to "Look! Those Dems are crazy and just want revenge!" to the moderates, which will look like more partisanship, losing us moderate votes.

Of course, some moderates will hear it and it will hurt their views of the Dems.

[Moochy]

129. thats some fine fine concern

[uppityperson]

139. clue by four-multitasking. Do you seriously believe the House will stop everything to work on this?

That would be great but highly doubtful.

As for those nutzoids who worship mrbush and think any application of responsibility for his actions is wrong, guess what. This won't change their minds.

Of course, some moderates will hear the list of crimes and it will change their minds into being more skeptical of McSame.

[JeffR]

174. Pitiful.

The reins of power have been held by warmongering liars for nearly 8 years now and you want to go along to get along? Screw that. Truly, screw that.

[Raster]

177. Read all the comments. You will shake your head....

BTW, LOVE the Blue cover! Case of you.

[BR_Parkway]

188. 80% of the country who think we're on the wrong track includes a lot

of moderates who are sick of this shit as well. Congress has a lower approval rating because they've failed to stand up to this and stop it. This will be much better received than you're predicting.

Right at the end of the primaries? With a message of changing politics as usual? I think it was coordinated with the campaign

[Moochy]

121. "pie in the sky"

Your priorities are jacked.

[Dark]

132. Mine? You're the one who doesn't care about the effects of this on the upcoming election.

The ONLY way we're going to rebuild America is if the Dems get back control. This WON'T do that, and could aid McCain in retaining the Whitehouse.

And you're OK with that?

[Moochy]

133. Your concern is noted

This will have an effect or it wont. Your certainty that it will DOOM US DEMS!!!!!!11111 is fucking ridiculous.

[Dark]

136. One of these could hurt us, but if this type of stuff keeps going on, it could cost us the election.

n/t

[Moochy]

142. call DK's office

and register your concern.

[uppityperson]

149. Which"us" do you mean? eom

[uppityperson]

147. um, mcCain isn't in the WH now, can't "retain" it.

Your concern has been noted. Guess I'll go call Kucinich and tell him an anonymous poster on an internet forum is having issues with presenting crimes against mrbush while he's out of the country and maybe he could take it all back for a week or so. How does that sound?

[Dark]

155. You might want to add that more than half the country's on my side as well.

n/t

[uppityperson]

157. 3 questions. Which "side" is that, why do assume that, & do I need to teach you how to use a phone?

If you have concerns, maybe you should call him yourself? Do you have a phone, or access to one? How about access to the internet? Maybe you could find somewhere, somehow to get on the internet and contact him yourself? Maybe one of that 1/2 the country will loan you a phone, or internet so you can contact him? If not, posting a request on DU, as a new topic, might be a good idea as we are such a helpful community. To other members. maybe?

[Raster]

165. Your side, eh?

[skyounkin]

185. Uhm, proof?

Seriously- where is your proof to your retoric? More than half of the country agrees with you?

I'll call you on it- bullshit- provide your proof or shut-up.

[uppityperson]

93. The victim. Mrbush is the victim of...what? I am perplexed here.

tell us more of how those conservatives think.

[Dark]

107. They're paranoid little cravens who think everyone is out to get them and their party.

Again, that's what happened with the NYtimes article on McCain and lobbyists. The base rallied to his support because, despite its accusations of corruption being true, they still saw it as liberals picking on a Republican, one which I might add they DON'T support normally.

[uppityperson]

118. And we certainly don't want them to be held accountable for their crimes, do we.

After all, your concern has been noted. Thank you for participating.

[Dark]

134. What in God's name will this do to hold them accountable? n/t

[Moochy]

137. Do you know what the Congressional Record is?

[Dark]

144. Yes, I'm familiar with that. But when Gravel did this, it allowed such information to get out.

Most of America already knows about the bullshit Bush has put us through. This isn't going to add anything.

[robinlynne]

15. The people are way ahead of the Congress. This needs to happen. People are

ready for this.

[Dark]

21. Uh huh. proof?

[Raster]

16. Did you now? I think the timing on this is AWESOME!

[Dark]

23. Yea, go after a guy when he isn't even in the country to defend himself.

That'll go over well with the moderates.

[Raster]

26. Oh please. bush* has enough subordinates to do his dirty work....

Sympathy for bush*?

[Dark]

32. Not sympathy, just logic. Dems are stereotyped as being weak. Attacking someone when they

aren't even there to defend themselves looks like a cheap shot to most Americans, and will only lead to us losing votes.

[Raster]

38. I vehemently disagree. And don't worry, I'm sure bush* will trot out

some appeaser to try and cover his ass. I cannot believe your comment. How dare Congressman Kucinich bring this up now while bush* is out of the country?:sarcasm:

[Dark]

45. Of course he'll do that. But to the moderates and the right wing, it'll look like a cheap shot.

And the Dems can't win without ONE of those groups' help

[Raster]

50. No it won't. The entire country knows what an abject failure bush* has been.

And quite frankly, the research that Congressman Kucinich has done on these Articles of Impeachment is nothing short of impressive.

[Dark]

92. Yes, the country knows how corrupt Bush is, yet they still don't support impeachment.

It will paint Bush as the victim of liberal bullying, regardless of the veracity.

Remember the NY Times article on McCain and that lady lobbyist? It was entirely true, but the base and some moderates saw it as angry liberals picking on McCain, and they rallied around him.

This would generate the same effect, potentially losing us the election.

Now, tell me, what's more important: Winning the next election and fixing all these problems, or continuing with these circuses and letting the drunk-on-power Repubs get behind the wheels for four more years?

[uppityperson]

104. Hit yourself with a clue-by-4. Those real moderates that hear all this will listen

Those who won't, probably won't even hear it.

[jmowreader]

189. He can "defend himself" just fine from wherever he is

Air Force One has all the best communications equipment, reporters have links back to their networks, Bush brought his spin team with him...even as we speak, there are people sitting there formulating Bush's response to DK's articles of impeachment.

I predict, as do most of us, that Bush's response to the articles of impeachment will follow one of three paths:

Path 1: This is a totally partisan attack on a sitting president and it is completely patriotic to not support the president in a time of war. The acts we are taking have ensured that no terrorist attacks have occurred in the United States since the tragedies of September 11th.

Path 2: These baseless slanders are completely false, and I would be happy to prove that in a court of law. Unfortunately for me, the Constitution says I cannot answer these charges in a court of law, so I must stand here and be insulted by the man who let the Cuyahoga River catch fire while I was heroically and successfully defending the peaceful village of Ciudad de Juarez, Mexico, from Viet Cong invasion.

Path 3: Get out your copy of The Blues Brothers and forward to the scene where John Belushi explains to Carrie Fisher why he skipped their wedding.

[Blaze Diem]

27. lol. But Perino will speak for him.

I'm sure she's being briefed for any questions regarding this night.

[uppityperson]

41. Timing is bad because bush is out of the country? bwahahaha

That is pretty funny. "He isn't even in the country to defend himself." Oh, poor mr bush, he's out of the country and can't defend himself. Oh give me a break

[Dark]

48. I'm not saying he can't defend himself. I'm saying that's what it will look like to a typical voter

But hey, we can win without them. After all, we did in '04

[uppityperson]

76. Yeah, esp since this is being covered so widely on fox tv and all

Do you seriously think they will care? Guess you do. Oh well. I don't.

[xiamiam]

43. thats funny...given the crap we've been thru and so clearly outlined by dk..nt

[Moochy]

49. Concerned about "Moderates"?

lol

[Dark]

51. Yeah, why don't we just rely on the liberal vote, and ignore anyone to the right of Michael Moore.

That'll work. It's done so well in past elections.

[Raster]

53. "...to the right of Michael Moore..."`

:rofl:

[Dark]

141. Well, apparently if you don't believe in impeachment, you're a freeper here.

go figure.

[Moochy]

55. That's exactly what I'm advocating

Gee it's like you are reading my mind.

I appreciate your concern- T r o l l e r y

[Muttocracy]

60. Kind of like Bush attacking Obama when Bush was overseas?

Bush has no defense there.

[uppityperson]

89. It just isn't fairrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111 I'm series!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wild.kick

[Dark]

110. I'm not defending Bush for that. I'm simply saying, for our own stakes, we shouldn't

stoop to their level.

[uppityperson]

124. Holding someone accountable for their crimes, or even just listing them, is the same as smearing

someone about something that isn't true. Got it.

[Shipwack]

72. Ummm Dark... This is the 21st century...

I'm sure bush will get a telegram about this, and he can send off a defense by morse code or some such...

[Moochy]

85. lol telegram

Congressman Dennis Kucinich Impeaching you, STOP.

[Dark]

114. It's about perception.

And the talking point will be "oh, look, those libruls aren't man enough to take Bush on when he's in town."

But of course, I'm sure that this pointless legislation will only add to the Dems' support.

[Moochy]

126. We get it, Go along to get along, dont rock the boat

you wish that DK was working on bills for the poor unfortunate souls, on great passable bipartisan legislation.

We get it. now quit crapping on this thread with your fucking 'concern'

[jmowreader]

190. No, no. Carrier pigeon.

He'll return his resignation as a note in a whiskey bottle cast into the ocean.

That's why there's a full bottle of Jack Daniel's on Air Force One. If he has to resign, they'll empty the bottle and insert the note.

They will of course empty the bottle into Bush. There are training drills for this very eventuality. Every time Bush gets on Air Force One, he goes through the same drill: empty the bottle, write out his resignation (text of the message: "Screw you guys, I'm going home") and shove it in the bottle. They then destroy the bottle so it doesn't accidentally fall into the wrong hands.

You can see the results of these training drills: just look at the photos from any Air Force Academy graduation, especially the one in 2007 where he just about staggered off the stage.

[Ani Yun Wiya]

187. These moderates you refer to...

Would those be the same people who were "reagan democrats" ?

Cause if so, they can piss up a rope...

Bush and crew need to be JAILED, not merely impeached.

[Muttocracy]

19. it's not like all the other Dems are lined up with him?

:shrug:

obviously this is for the public record - can't get 60 votes in Senate - but anything that puts doubt on McSame's predecessor is helpful.

[Dark]

25. There isn't anything but doubt for his predecessor... and that's being generous.

What it will generate is suspicion that the Dems are weak, divided, vindictive or even that they take cheap shots.

That's not what we need right now.

[Muttocracy]

31. Kucinich hasn't even endorsed Obama, has he? Most people won't even know this happened. nt

[Dark]

40. Right wing radio will be abuzz, and their ditto head listeners will know.

But of course, they didn't campaign against us last time, right?

This will help motivate the base to protect their dear leader from the big bad Democrats, and by extension, McCain.

The Dems are trying to look like the moderate, sane party in this election. This play is exactly what the Republicans are hoping for.

[Muttocracy]

57. dittoheads aren't going to vote for McCain anyway and the election is months away

I think they'll laugh at Dennis, not rally the troops behind Bush on this. They don't want to talk about Bush's record. Drawing attention to this would not be what they want - thus it's not being covered on any news networks.

[MuseRider]

24. Hard to win without pandering huh?

This is truth spoken tonight. I really can't blame anyone for not recognizing truth and integrity and a government official actually doing their job. It has been sooooo long but I remember, some of us remember.

[Dark]

30. Doing his job would be working on bills that could pass and help average people, not

pipe dreams that will make the Dems seem like whiny vindictive crybabies.

[MuseRider]

37. I don't even have a civil response to that.

Just wow. Just fucking wow.

BTW, whiny vindictive crybabies would be a step up for most of them. This one is doing the job he swears to do.

[Dark]

54. Yes, promoting go nowhere legislation that uses up valuable time and energy and could hurt

us in the election is an excellent idea.

Maybe the rightwingers were right, and that is the Government's job. :eyes:

[MuseRider]

58. Dunno

I make it a point not to pay them enough attention to be able to quote them.

[Moochy]

59. "maybe the rightwingers were right"

And other fascinating thoughts.

[robinlynne]

67. where are you visiting from?

[Muttocracy]

70. so how do you feel about congressional oversight?

Should they only pass legislation, not do investigations? Are hearings about the executive branch a waste of time too?

[Dark]

167. No problem with investigations that GO somewhere, or have a chance of actually helping America.

This won't.

[Raster]

78. kkkarl, is that you?

[vanlassie]

113. So "THE PEOPLE" Should Not Speak The Truth In THEIR HOUSE???

[vanlassie]

117. Call Kuchinich's Office at 202-225-5871

[Individualist]

146. Sounds more like Harold Ford to me

[Moochy]

153. Dark, Call me!!

[Dark]

154. Ah, yes. If you don't agree with impeachment, you must be a Republican shill.

I think I'm finally starting to understand why people consider so many of us liberals elitists.

[Moochy]

161. All kinds of republican ideas are just popping into your head unbidden

Imagine all the talking points, maybe they are all right!

damn liberal elitsts!!!111

[uppityperson]

164. now now now, maybe it's out of the country and can't defend itself

[Dark]

166. Awww, idealists are sooo funny when they're angry!

Meanwhile, while Kucinich was working on this pointless drivel, four Dems actually put together something http://rawstory.com/news/2008/Democrats_introduce_bill_to_outlaw_Pentagon_0609.html">useful

[Moochy]

168. Dark thinks DK just read "pointless drivel" into the congressional record.

Aww thanks for the Condescension, cutey-pie

Infantilize and ad hominems, another timehonored tactic brought to you by Dark, the Concerned DU'er who hates Impeachment. got it.

And how pray tell, concerned du'er did Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ), John Kerry (D-MA), Bob Menendez (D-NJ), and Byron Dorgan (D-ND) get delayed by the reading of these articles into the record?

[uppityperson]

171. But it's not fair since mrbush was out of the country.

see, another fine concern.

[Moochy]

172. Yeah its dealer's choice tonite

He's got a full deck of excuses as to why this is a "bad idea".

[uppityperson]

175. I don't think "it's unconstitutional" has been used yet.

Or "he shouldn't be doing his job upholding the Constitution" either. Personally, I prefer spincasting.

[uppityperson]

170. See, Democrats can multi-task. So, have you figured out how to contact DK yet?

wondering if you've found a phone, learned how to use it, or a computer and internet connection?

[uppityperson]

80. Wow. That is...something. And so are you.Pointing our crimes=whining.

Tell us more. Please.

[skyounkin]

186. His oath of office comes first......

[Shipwack]

56. That's right, Dark! We need to keep our powder dry!

:sarcasm:
:eyes:

[robinlynne]

9. wooo katrina. beautiful Dennis!

[malaise]

14. #31 Katrina

Go Dennis!!

[mikelgb]

10. 31 - Katrina

[MuseRider]

18. Katrina!

Is there anything left out here? He has managed to cover everything I could possibly think of. ALL of this for the record. ALL of this for history. Now if we can just learn to not keep repeating that history and that includes not letting these bastards get away with this.

K&R BABY!

[givemebackmycountry]

29. MuseRider - I agree with you...

He's hit EVERY nail in the fence.
He's left nothing out.

Everything we have been screaming about...

One by One he's laid it out.

[MuseRider]

47. It is making my brain hurt

only after my heart drops once again then soars hearing it being put in the record.

When I called his office I added a thanks for the staff that helped put this amazing document together. They have done outstanding work.

[Blaze Diem]

22. K & R Thread # 3

Outstanding.

[Muttocracy]

28. hmm, that warning quote reminds me of a certain warning of a terrorist attack

Another case of "we could never have imagined!!!!!11" despite reports predicting what happened - hey - Dennis just made my point as I typed it :)

[malaise]

33. I will never forget Katrina

I was on DU before the storm hit and never plan to forget all the warnings and all the neglect.

#32 - Misleading Congress and the American people systematically undermining efforts re Global Climate Change!! Dennis has every single crime listed.

[jeff30997]

34. K&R

God it's great.

[yellowdogintexas]

35. and kicking again nt

[jeff30997]

39. Double kicking!

:)

[EFerrari]

36. omfg.

Dennis.

[bleever]

63. Pretty good, huh?

He's throwing the whole damn book at them.

[EFerrari]

Dennis would never sit on a committee and wonder out loud

that Bush is torturing people. He's the real deal.

[bleever]

125. I called Conyers' office

and asked him to support Dennis' efforts, because the law and the Constitution are like the human brain or a muscle: use it, or lose it. To allow the crimes to flow under the bridge weakens the foundation of our country.

I hope he hears my message.

[Blaze Diem]

42. 2000 campaign promises ...broken.. Global Warming..

Prooves Bush is a bold face liar.

[malaise]

52. You still need proof

:rofl:

[Blaze Diem]

74. not me, but maybe Pelosi.

Geez how much clearer can it be spelled out.
Thank You Dennis. He makies Pelosi look like a fool.

[MuseRider]

116. Pretty hard to do

considering the job she was doing of it herself. :(

[Moochy]

46. He's going over Bush Global Warming Policy

:kick:

[Blaze Diem]

61. Let Kucinich know that though the House was empty, WE and the rest of the

world were listening in awe of his remarkable strength and brilliance as he laid out every offense since Bush ran for office in 2000.

He has spoken honorably for the millions who have suffered from the lies and crimes of GWBush, and those who aided Bush's efforts to overthrow our US Government.

[xiamiam]

66. scientists pressured to change scientific findings on global warming..nt

[Raster]

68. 9/11!!!! Go Dennis Go!

[jeff30997]

YES!!!

[SeattleGirl]

71. YES!

This is such good stuff! Thank you, Dennis!

[KeepItReal]

77. He's all over it!!!

K&R

[jannyk]

84. Ooooh - I got goosebumps....

Can goosebumps kill ya? I've had them for nearly 3 hours and they just 'peaked'!

Give it to them Dennis - ram it down their fucking throats until they choke!

[Muttocracy]

88. But what on earth could the title of that bin Ladin report have meant

??? :dunce:

[Individualist]

69. LIHOP!!!

Yes!

[me b zola]

73. The mother-load!

Failing to protect us from the attacks on 911!

:kick:

[Blaze Diem]

79. Here it comes!!!! SAY IT DENNIS..

God Bless You.

[Bravo Zulu]

81. I recall * was on

vacation!

[Muttocracy]

90. yep, Dennis called him on it - stayed on vacation after hearing threat report! nt

[me b zola]

bush* was in his brother's state, FL, during the attacks

DU has amassed a tremendous amount of info about the events leading up to 9/11 and the events of 9/11. I strongly urge you to drop in the research forum & 9/11 forum and check out the stuff that is there--it will make you weep, scream, and weep some more.

[vanlassie]

75. Has something like this ever been done in Congess before??

[EFerrari]

83. Probably not since Mike Gravel went to read the Pentagon Papers

into the record. :)

[xiamiam]

86. first and only cabinet meeting held on sept 4..even tho there was intelligence warning..

wtf..one cabinet meeting on the threat of terror and then he built his lies around it..gheezh..

[xiamiam]

119. bush testified for one hour to the 911 comm with cheney at his side..nt

[Raster]

152. not under oath, with no recording devices and only two other persons in the room.

Makes you wonder what his problem was, eh? Hiding something perhaps?

[Fire Walk With Me]

169. There is footage of Bush right after the interview in the Fahrenheit 9/11 extra features.

He's spinning out of control from the amount of self-monitoring he must have had to do to keep his stories straight. He even makes a third-person observation about falling into a reporter's trap. Ghoulish.

[jeff30997]

87. OMG!

Bin Laden,WTC...

[Raster]

94. Article 34: Obstruction of the investigation of 9/11!!!

"...together with the Vice President..."

[bleever]

102. He's cutting to the bone.

It's incredible to witness.

[jeff30997]

95. Obstruction for 9/11 investigations!

[slipslidingaway]

Obstructed investigations into 9/11 attacks n/t

[Muttocracy]

96. How many total articles?

[Raster]

98. 35

[slipslidingaway]

99. 35 n/t

[jeff30997]

100. 35

He's keeping the best for last!

[mrs_p]

103. one more to go

35 total

[me b zola]

105. I've read that there will be 35

:thumbsup:

[vanlassie]

101. I Called His Office and Thanked Them

What an amazing man.

[Raster]

106. I called also. His staffer said they are getting quite a few calls, all of them positive!

[Moochy]

108. talking about Tenet's two briefings of Bush in August

Covering the Presidential Daily Briefings...

:kick:

[jeff30997]

109. All right,you covered your ass now.

Lol

[Blaze Diem]

112. Laying out the crimes in detail..and naming names.

They are all named as conspirators of Bush's Impeachable Offenses. And are all on Public Record in their aiding & abetting Bush's crimes.
Conspiracy.

[Individualist]

115. It's fan-damn-tastic!

[Raster]

159. And this is the brilliance of what Dennis has done. Reading this COMPREHENSIVE list of

bush*'s impeachable offenses into the Congressional Record will always ensure the crimes can never be swept under the table. And the research to tie it all together...heh heh heh. Dovetails rather nicely with Scott McClellan's invitation to speak before committee.

And let's not delude ourselves, the Congressional appeasers and collaborators will do everything possible to NOT ACT on these Ariticles. But no matter. This gives a road map of crimes to prosecute AFTER cheney*/bush* is out of power and can't use the power of Presidential pardon.

Wake up America!:kick:

120. "All right, you covered your ass now"...

He just said it...it's in the record.

This man is a true American hero.
I've never seen anything like this before.
And I lived through Watergate.

Bush should be arrested as soon as he "de-planes" AF1

What a night.

[Blaze Diem]

122. What could 35 possibly be??

Standing ovation to Rep Dennis Kucinish..this is a beautiful night.

[Blaze Diem]

131. Ahhh yes..endangering health of 9-11 responders.. wreckless

Every call-in show should be inundated with callers asking for the discussion of Kucinich's speech tonight.
They shoudl be asked until there is a response in Dennis's favor.
We want open discussion.

I will start calling tomorrow morn. If they don't take my call...I'll just try again.

[Applepie]

:applause: :bravo:

[malaise]

Lovely. Dennis Kucinich I love you.
Sp.

[EFerrari]

151. He found a way to get it into the record.

:wow:

[Muttocracy]

145. so Dennis gave notice of this at 7:12pm tonight?

Did anyone know this was coming?


http://clerk.house.gov/floorsummary/floor.html

7:12 P.M. -
NOTIFICATION OF INTENT TO OFFER RESOLUTION - Mr. Kucinich notified the House of his intent to rise to a question of the privileges of the House and to offer a resolution.

[givemebackmycountry]

148. He's done...

What a great night for America...

Tonight, I feel like an American.

Thank You, Dennis.

What ever happens next, it doesn't matter.

[xiamiam]

150. amazing...i didnt think anyone else was there..it was great..thank you dk..nt

[ekelly]

156. I missed the end. Did they show who else was there? eom

[Raster]

162. No. But no matter. I'm sure half of the House is shitting themselves right about now.

The liquor is flowing in Foggy Bottom. Thank you Dennis Kucinich!

[rosesaylavee]

158. Dennis Kucinich: American Patriot

:patriot:

:kick:

[Swamp Rat]

160. Proud Kucinich supporter here!

:patriot:

[Raster]

163. Ditto, my friend! Ditto!

When I called his office this evening I asked the staffer to thank him for being an American patriot.

[magellan]

173. That was the most beautiful thing I've heard in nearly 8 long years

The sound of justice knocking on the door. Rep. Kucinich restored a little of my faith in this country tonight.

[uppityperson]

176. Very much so. Hearing, reading, him go on and on and on. Great to have it all listed so.

[Raster]

178. Yes and in the Congressional Record!!!

Seriously, the research bringing it all together is hella impressive. Congressman Kucinich ROCKS!

[uppityperson]

179. Permanent history now, a good reconning of the crimes, so far

had to get out my old laptop so I could keep reading (thunderstorms and shut off plugin computer).

[Raster]

181. And "permanent" is the operative word here. Kucinich is brilliant.

Even if Pelosi and the rest of the collaborators and appeasers can't/won't act, the groundwork is laid for the next Congress to pursue this further.

on edit: and yes, cheney*/bush* will be out of office, so impeachment will not be valid. However, what is the statute of limitations for treason and war crimes?

[uppityperson]

183. I think longer than the short time they have left protected as they are.

It may take 30 yrs, but he will be gotten.

[uppityperson]

180. Thank you all for blogging what he was saying so I/we could read if not hear it

I very much appreciate this fine community in times like this. Thank you all very much for helping me follow along.

[pleah]

191. K&R!
