Impeach Bush/Cheney, Ain’t Gonna Happen

Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich called for the impeachment of U.S. President George W. Bush for launching the Iraq war while the rest of congress just set back and let him act out his fit of defiance.

Nice try, but the timing is way off. This action should have been taken a long time ago. I feel your pain, Mr. Kucinich, I really do. But Bush and Cheney and all of their corporate benefactors are sitting back laughing at how easy it was to get away with all that they have done to this once great nation. They have made a mockery of the ‘rules of government’ that our forefathers laid out and members of congress have done nothing but blow wind and bluster about how ‘this is an outrage’ and then set up ‘committees to investigate’ and have assembled panels to ‘grill the accused’ in an attempt to show the country that you too are outraged.

You have not convinced us, sir. And this dog and pony show of bringing impeachment charges against a lame duck president knowing that nothing will come of it just amounts to nothing more than a cruel joke.

You and all those other weak, frightened, small-minded men and women in congress, who think more of keeping your jobs than to stand up for the American citizen and against two of the most openly opportunistic corporate puppets this country has ever been duped into allowing into office, have done nothing more than to firmly position yourselves as part of the problem.

Even if I could be convinced that this call for impeachment is sincere and could have some small chance of bearing fruit, I seriously doubt anyone else would have to stones the back you up. Even your own party’s leader House Speaker Nancy Pelosi refuses to back you.

I cynically suspect that your ulterior motive is to present yourself as a ‘strong leader’ who will be remembered as ‘the guy who stood up against Bush/Cheney’. Nothing more than an another opportunistic act in this passion play for political power.

Abuse of power and fraud is nothing new in politics but how the Bush/Cheney gang was allowed to plunder this country is criminal. Those people, you included Mr. Kucinich, in positions to do something to reign them in but instead chose to play the game while they developed and executed their schemes and scams makes you all guilty of aiding and abetting.

No Mr. Kucinich, we all see through your charade and denounce your ill-timed gambit for what it is, an attempt to paint yourself as ‘one of the good guys’.
