[w8liftinglady]

I have watched cnn,msnbc,and cnbc today,read my local paper and yahoo news.No mention.Has anyone covered this?(When I googled it,most of the hits were Democraticunderground and the like)

1. He said it loud, proud on national TV during a Presidential Debate.

But he saw a UFO.

That's all the story Kucinich got out of it.

I thought it was a big deal that he announced that chimpy and dickie should be Impeached, it should get much more cover.

Russert: Congressman Kucinich, your opinion of this resolution?

Dennis Kucinich: Well, first of all, we need to adamantly reject any kind of a move toward war with Iran.

There's no basis for it whatsoever. But we have to realize, Tim, that we have a number of enablers who happen to be Democrats who have said over the last year, with respect to Iran, all options are on the table. And when you say all options are on the table, you are licensing President Bush.

And I'm the only one up here on the stage who not only voted against the war in Iraq, voted against funding the war, but also led the effort against Bush's drive toward war.

The problem is: These policies of preemption license a war. Preemption, by virtue of international law, is illegal. Our president has already violated international law.

The war in Iraq is illegal. Even planning for the war against Iran is illegal. Tim, we're here in Philadelphia, the birthplace of democracy. I want to know when this democratic Congress is going to stand up for the Constitution and hold the president accountable with Article II, Section 4, an impeachment act.

I think that our democracy is in peril, and unless the Democrats and the Congress stand up for the Constitution, we are going to lose our country. We need to challenge him on this war, but we need to challenge him at his core, and the core is, there needs to be a separation of powers, a balance of powers.

Things are out of balance. It is time for us to stand up for the Constitution of the United States.

(Applause)

Russert: I want to ask each of you the same question

Kucinich: It's one of the reasons why the American people are so distressed with the current condition of the Democratic Party. They won't stand up to Wall Street, where there's over a trillion dollars of unregulated capital with hedge funds.

They won't end the war, as our party promised to do in the 2006 election. They won't stand up to the insurance companies, the for- profit insurance companies, by joining me in a not-for-profit system.

So people are asking them, "What's the difference between Democrats and Republicans?" Tim, my candidacy is a candidacy which will protect the interests of Main Street.

No privatization of Social Security, make the hedge funds accountable, protect the small investors who are at risk with these public offerings of these hedge funds.

My Domestic Policy Subcommittee has been looking at this. I was one of the first ones on Capitol Hill to look at it.

Right now, it's all about a redistribution of the wealth upwards, Tim. You know, the tax system is about redistributing the wealth upwards. The health care system redistributes the wealth upwards. Our energy policies redistribute the wealth upwards.

We have to have a president who is independent enough to be able to stand up to these interest groups and push the Democratic Congress to defend the American people by standing for the end of the war in Iraq, by standing for a universal, not-for-profit health care system, by standing for control of these oil companies, which are out of control, and, finally, by standing for the Constitution.

I will say it one more time. It's time for the Democratic Party to take a position on impeachment, and for the House of Representatives to move the bill that I've introduced.

Russert: Senator Edwards, you worked for a hedge fund. By every estimate, we could save $25 billion over 10 years, new revenue that could be used for a whole variety of programs. Why won't the Democratic Party act on this issue?

6. You would think that a member of congress calling for impeachment of the prez would be news.

it would be if America had a free press.

edit' falsely claimed dk was a senator...wishful thinking on my part

[in_cog_ni_to]

8. Dennis is a Congressman, not a Senator. Maybe that's why. You have to be a Senator before you matter

???:grr: I hate our MSM.

[spanone]

9. sorry, my mistake, but since impeachment STARTS in the house.....

[in_cog_ni_to]

7. NOPE. The only way they will ever mention Impeachment is when it's shoved down their throats by

Dennis on the House floor. I bet KO mentions it though! Hell, even Tweety didn't bring it up last night after the debate. At least not that I heard.:( They have all completely IGNORED it! That should tell us all something.

10. It was scrubbed

11. no, i was flipping the stations around earlier today. not a word.

[Disturbed]

12. The UFO question dominated the Corp. Media.

The three calls for Impeacment made by Kuch weren't as important as the UFO question & answer.
