Three Representatives Want Impeachment Hearings

You know your country is effed when not only does the mainstream media not cover this, but even message boards with hundreds of users never got the news. wtf? I searched these forums before I posted this, and I am amazed this didn't get a mention. Good thing I came along, huh?

Impeachment Gets Even More Traction

Three members of the House Judiciary Committee have co-authored an op-ed in which they express their view that impeachment hearings should begin for Dick Cheney to investigate the deceptive actions he took with regard to intelligence on Iraq's weapons program before the start of the Iraq war, to investigate the actions he took to reveal the identity of a covert agent, and to investigate the actions he took toward the illegal wiretapping of Americans without a warrant.

The op-ed is available here: A Case for Impeachment Hearings

However, it will be an uphill battle for these members of Congress because of the Democratic leadership's decision that it is more politically expedient to ignore the high crimes and misdemeanors committed by the vice president. It is therefore important for these members of Congress calling for impeachment that their colleagues know Americans are behind them and support their efforts to uphold the rule of law.

The three representatives calling for impeachment hearings are Robert Wexler (D-FL), Luis Gutierrez (D-IL), and Tammy Baldwin (D-WI).

Representative Wexler has started an online petition that he will use to persuade his other colleagues on the House Judiciary Committee that impeachment hearings should be begun as soon as possible.

If you support the efforts of Robert Wexler and his colleagues to impeach Dick Cheney, please go here to express your support: Join Wexler's Call for Cheney Hearings

I like the reference to the so-called Kangaroo Court that the Republicans called. Now what was it that President Clinton did, oh that is right he lied under oath given testimony in a sworn deposition......hmmm didn't someone just recently get convicted of perjury, Scooter Libby, for doing the same thing. So of course there is no real comparison. What Cheney may have done has been done not to benefit himself but rather this nation, what Clinton did was to benefit only himself, tell me which is the worse of the two crimes.

If I recall correctly, the special investigator was sent to find out about Blackwater.

He found nothing. It should have stopped there.

How did he get from Blackwater to a blow job?

It should never have come up, it should never have been asked.

And if you think Cheney is for this country and not for himself, I got some great seaside property in Nevada I'd just love to sell you.

Why would anyone waste their time worrying about impeaching Bush and Cheney?

In less than 12 months they will both be consigned to the history books with a lamentable legacy nobody will want to write about:

The worst ever attack on US soil
An unnecessary war
Turning a budget surplus into the biggest deficit in history
Devaluing the dollar by 40%
Rewarding the rich whilst pushing millions into poverty

One thing for sure - Bush won't be a hit on the speaking circuit like his distinguished predecessor Pres Clinton, who was able to protect us from Al Qaeda for his 8 years.

Uh, Grace? One person died, after the case was done being investigated.

They found nothing because there was nothing to find.
