According to a posting by David M. Herszenhorn in the New York Times blog The Caucus Presidential Candidate Rep. Dennis Kucinch is after President Bush again. This should be fun to watch. Seeing all the cowardly Democrats in Congress squirm when the little guy with the big ideas manages to do what they refuse to do, Honor their Oath of Office and protect the Constitution. The blog posting states that Representative Dennis J. Kucinich of Ohio may get excluded from Democratic presidential debates, as he has been recently, but no one can deny him the floor in the House.
And today Mr. Kucinich took to the floor to fire off his latest salvo at the Bush administration: his plans to introduce Articles of Impeachment against President Bush on Jan. 28 - the day of Mr. Bush's State of the Union speech. Accusing the administration of lying about the need for the war in Iraq, Mr. Kucinich said he did not need to hear the president's assessment. "We know the State of the Union," he declared. "It's a lie."
He also fired a volley at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California who has maintained that impeaching Mr. Bush is not on the table for Congressional Democrats. "If impeachment is off the table," Mr. Kucinich said, "truth is off the table. If truth is off the table then this body is living a lie."
Mr. Kucinich introduced Articles of Impeachment against Vice President Dick Cheney last April and in November, with the surprise help of Republicans seeking to embarrass the Democrats, he nearly succeeded in securing an hour of debate on the House floor.
House Democratic leaders blocked that, however, by referring the impeachment effort back to the Judiciary Committee.
Our group the IMPEACH COLORADO COALITION welcomes this action and wishes that we were seeing it come as a result of an effort by Colorado's Democratic Congressmen/women. Given the silly excuses they have given us in the past for not protecting the Constitution by supporting Impeachment Hearings I imagine no support at all will be coming from Colorado's US Representatives for Kucinich's effort.
If you want to see Cheney and Bush help accountable for the WMD Lies that got the US into this stupid Iraq War

We are doing our best to change our Rep's minds on Impeachment. I think we will succeed.

Amen.
It's called "leadership" and "responsibility," Ms. Degette, Mr. Perlmutter. If you didn't want it, you shouldn't have run for office.
Udall is firmly against protecting the Constitution and Salazar won't talk about it.
What if the Liberal Dem Base revolts against this dereliction of duty by our Democratic Colorado Congressmen/women.
Could we lose seats because these bums are gutless and care little for the Constitution? Doesn't an Oath mean anything to them?
