Comments on: McClellan: "I Have Accepted"

Essentially, the (bogus) impeachment of Clinton has forever ruined impeachment as a tool to oust a bad president. They can now literally get away with murder.

You spoke the truth the witch hunt that the Republicans did on the Clintons will forever destroy impeachment and trials in the Senate. However, we the poeple can vote to remove anyone, that is something that we have a right to do so get the petitions out if you really want to remove the President it is not written in stone. If not then just let it be.

In the whole 8 years of this administration there have not been enough Democrats in congress to vote for an impeachment or anything else. So, don''t accuse them of not doing anything until we have a majority of Democrats to do it.

"...Since the leakage of the name of Valerie Plame took place in mid-year 2003, neither Bush nor Rove can argue that we were not at war. The two men enthusiastically launched the War on Terror in the immediate aftermath of 9/11. The invasion of Iraq had taken place when Ambassador Wilson published his denunciation of the Bush White House%u2019s reference to Saddam%u2019s nuclear weapons project as a basis for the invasion of Iraq. But, does this leakage of a covert operative%u2019s identity during wartime constitute an act of treason? Did it aid or comfort the enemy?...

Some commentators have written that Mr. Rove and others in the Bush White House intended to send a message to the entire CIA to threaten them against criticizing neoconservative policies especially those arguments used for the basis of their dubious war against Iraq. But, how would the leakage of their identities threaten covert agents of the CIA? The answer has been provided by former president, George H. W. Bush - by making their identities public, enemies of America could then target them for assassination. Others have described the leak as an act of revenge. Clearly the only revenge possible in this case was assassination by enemy agents of Al Qa%u2019ida or Saddam Hussein.

The defnition of treason can be found in Article 3, Section 3 of the United States Constitution.

You should try reading it sometime.

Reading, as opposed to pontificating, can be very educational.

Folks IF LYING to start a War that has killed so many IS not TREASON then the definiation of the word, as applied in this nation and every nation on planet EARTH is wrong. Bush and CHENEY are guilty of Treason as sure as the sun come''s up tomorrow.

In the same year a "Black" man becomes the first "Black" candidate to contest the general elections?

Life just cannot get that good, can it? Can one have a fatal attack of "feel good by non chemical events?"

"Blazng Saddles", and "Star Wars, a New Hope" at the same time, we dare not hope for so much.

My response:
1. I agree, I doubt any such vote will take place.

2. I agree that the Dems are worried about ''how it might look''!
They need to sprout a backbone and go after Bush because it''s the moral/ethical correct thing to do. To bring this criminal to justice!

3. We better hope that impeachment as a tool is NOT lost for all time!
If it is, we might NOT ever have a relatively honest president ever again.

===Congress should openly vote on-the-record, up or down, on the impeachment article/bill of Kucinich!===

It will never happen. Republicans won''t vote against their guy (or want to go on record as voting "for" him and thus, condoning Bush''s offenses). Democrats don''t want to vote against Bush as they are afraid it will look like revenge for Bill Clinton.

Essentially, the (bogus) impeachment of Clinton has forever ruined impeachment as a tool to oust a bad president. They can now literally get away with murder.

ajaxtheleast raises a good point, Congress should openly vote on-the-record, up or down, on the impeachment article/bill of Kucinich!

Afterall, THEY are the ones constantly talking about how govt needs to be more ''transparent''!
Although, they apply that to the Bush admin, and not so much toward themselves!

By having the vote, it would make it even easier to know who to vote out of office in November!

And it isn''t just Reps that need to go, either! Congress would be better off if

Nancy Pelosi went back to California!

[ajaxtheleast]

These counts of impeachment . .

Will we know who votes FOR and
AGAINST?

And wouldn''t all site boards
have a ball with the list of
those voting no?

This could drop a lot of drawers
revealing other than boxer shorts.

GO DENNIS !!!
