WHY do we pay these people? If they can fire 1000 teachers in California because of budget cuts, I saw we fire all of their asses. We cannot afford this crap.

Why doesn't Kucinich introduce articles of Impeachment of Bush now? It is not like they are doing anything important...

1. as a KU alum, I would have gladly had HR 948 slip in a little impeachment clause...

somewhere down there in all the praise and stuff

[bdamomma]

2. they should all shut up and watch the documentary Taxi to the Darkside

and that this murderous regime that sings and dances is doing in our names. Disgusting.

Watch on Video forum.

4. good idea

Teachers have inservice days, our politicians need to be re-taught about the job they are supposed to be doing.

I think they are putting something in the water, or through the ventilation system.

There is something terribly wrong with these people.

5. "Off the table" rendered them impotent. Each passing week they prove just how impotent. . .

. . .they are.

It is not their failure to muster a veto-proof majority that renders them impotent.

They are impotent because they refuse to do anything but whine and complain when Bush and Cheney declare themselves above all law.

They are impotent because they refuse to take out the ONLY weapon in their arsenal capable of stopping the bushncheney steamroller.

They are impotent because they have surrendered their power to enforce the will of the people to war criminals.

Bush and Cheney are committing their crimes in plain sight. Failure to impeach is tantamount to exoneration.

Only impeachments says "No!" to torture. Only impeachment says "We will not tolerate the intolerable."

Only impeachment puts the national spotlight on Republicans as they choose -- Defend American Principle or Fascist Principle. Condemn or condone torture. It is far easier to cast a vote in defense of war criminals when few are watching.

Anything short of impeachment is easily dismissed as the "strategery" is is. Even when they force a losing vote to "put Republicans on the record" they accomplish nothing because few are watching -- such empty gestures simply don't garner public attention.

6. the majority of them are out torturing family and friends

9. Here's a plan for their break coming up

NIXON FLOODING PLAN FOR IMPEACHMENT



Congressman Kucinich has drafted over 50 articles of impeachment against Bush, and he should be encouraged to introduce those soon. The week of March 16-22 is a week when Congress Members are home in the districts. It's also the five-year point in the occupation of Iraq. Why not plan now to pay a visit to your congress member's local office that week?

8. What do you have against Roads and Canals?

Why do you hate America?

:rofl:


What's really annoying (and I don't know if they did it today) is when they get an almost unanimous voice or handwaving approval, some moran requests a real vote. So they kill 15 minutes waiting for a 400-3 outcome. I guess it gets their names recorded as actually "doing something".

10. DK is probably a little busy with day-to-day as well as campaigning

and fundraising to retain his seat. Besides, he introduced Articles for Cheney's ass and what happened? Bunch of morons.

11. Good post. Welcome to DU. n/t

[TimeChaser]

12. Those BS recognition resolutions are nothing new

They've been going on for as long as I can remember.

Doesn't necessarily mean I agree with having to spend time to honor everyone and their mom's little achievements, but I don't think you can fault the current House for it.
