PoliticsDo Not Pass/Pass With Care. Today's truckers are far more educated and cognizant of the issues regarding politics due to the sharp increase in talk radio, and various trucking news media sources. Talk politics. Do truckers like politicians?
Dennis Kusinich has 3 articles of impeachment on Dick Chaney. All articles are substantial and justifiable. There is enough evidence to support each and every article. Everyone who cares about American and the direction is is going should be worried not that the Vice President is being challenged. But worried about how the evidence came to light. Also, that why we have allowed Bush and Chaney to create such a sespool of corruption in our own government.
Where do these guys get off, lying their way into these high ranking offices, and then perpetually bringing down every aspect of integrity those offices hold. George Bush and Dick Chaney have undercut our military, VA, middle class America, education, health care, medicare, CHP's(for the rich who doesnt know what CHP is, it's a government funded program that gives health care to American children who's parents dont make enough to get their own health plan or their employer doesnt offer it), Social Security, etc etc etc....
And now, trying to open our borders even more.
Impeaching Chaney and Bush will make our country even stronger. The rest of the world will respect us. Our soldiers will get all they need to come home, while they still have a home.
It's time to take back our government from crooked poli"tics".

On Tuesday, Representative Dennis Kucinich introduced articles of impeachment against Vice-President Cheney. There are three articles: manipulation of intelligence to deceive Congress and the American people, fabricating a threat from Iraqi weapons of mass destruction prior to the invasion of Iraq; manipulation of intelligence to deceive Congress and the American people about an alleged relationship between Iraq and Al Qaeda prior to the invasion of Iraq; and threatening aggression against Iran, in violation of the U.N. Charter and the U.S. Constitution.
(Kucinich seems to be one of the few Members of Congress aware that threatening to attack other countries is a violation of the U.N. Charter, a treaty to which the U.S. is signatory.)
You can find the text of the impeachment articles and supporting documents [LINK POSTED BY MEMBER] Only Members Can View This Truck Forum Link. .
Writing in the Washington Post, Dana Milbank is predictably snarky, although the [LINK POSTED BY MEMBER] Only Members Can View This Truck Forum Link. . We couldn't have published Mr. Milbank's piece in my high school newspaper. Unlike the Washington Post editors, apparently, our faculty advisor had standards for what you could print.
From Mr. Milbank's aggressive journalism, we learn that Kucinich is "perhaps 5 feet 6 inches tall in shoes" and that "he approached the microphones, which nearly reached his eye level." We also learn that Kucinich was undeterred by "wind that ruffled his text and the few strands of his hair that were insufficiently weighted by Brylcreem."
Feminists take note. It is not only women politicians who can expect to face irrelevant and inappropriate media commentary about their appearance. Apparently, as a male politician, if you oppose the imperial ambitions of the Washington pundit class too vigorously, you can be an honorary woman.
Despite pundit dismissals, Kucinich's introduction of impeachment articles against Cheney could have immense practical significance for efforts to oppose war with Iran and end the war in Iraq, even if the House never votes to impeach Cheney. News reports make clear that the Vice-President's office is the Dark Tower of planning and advocacy for aggressive war and human rights abuses in the Administration, a place where officials conspire to sabotage efforts of other Bush Administration officials to pursue serious diplomacy. A serious effort to impeach Cheney, even if ultimately unsuccessful, could discredit, delegitimize, isolate and preoccupy the Vice-President's office, limiting its potential for harm for the next year and a half, and strengthening the more adult forces in the Administration.
A recent and important example: on April 13 the Washington Post [LINK POSTED BY MEMBER] Only Members Can View This Truck Forum Link. that the State Department wanted to release 5 Iranian officials captured in Iraq in January:
The Bush administration has decided to hold onto five Iranian Revolutionary Guard intelligence agents captured in Iraq, overruling a recommendation from the State Department to release them because they are no longer useful, according to U.S. officials.
The case is at the center of mounting tensions, the Post noted, and threatened efforts towards cooperation about Iraq:
The five, seized in a Jan. 11 raid by U.S. forces in the Kurdish city of Irbil in northern Iraq, are at the center of increasing tensions between Washington and Tehran. Iran has been indirectly ratcheting up pressure on the United States, its allies and even its own friends in the Iraqi government to win freedom for the group now known as the Irbil five. Iran is threatening not to attend a pivotal meeting in Egypt next month of Iraq's neighbors - plus the United States and international groups involved in Iraq - that Washington hopes will increase regional cooperation to stabilize the country. Without Iran, which exerts great influence in Iraq, the meeting could end up having marginal impact, according to Iraqi officials and Middle East experts.
When the Iraqi government did not help obtain the release of the five detainees, Iran refused to allow a plane carrying Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki to fly over Iranian territory en route to Japan last week. Some U.S. officials now say they believe the seizure of 15 British sailors and marines last month by Revolutionary Guard naval forces may have been at least in part an effort to heighten pressure on the United States through Britain, its close ally and the second-largest contributor of troops to coalition forces in Iraq.
Guess what happened to the State Department's recommendation?
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice went into the Tuesday meeting with a recommendation to free the men, but after a full review of the options she went along with the consensus, U.S. officials said. Vice President Cheney's office made the firmest case for continuing to hold the men.

Talk is cheap for DIMS. Every week their going to impeach someone. This Kunichlick is going to submit a unbinding bill (Does the DIMS have the guts to do anything?) to impeach Cheney. lol It doesn't mean anything, because theres nothing there. This just shows the desperation of the DIMS to impeach someone, anyone. lol

You just can't help but try to spin things around can you? When was the last time a Dem tried to impeach anyone. HMMMMM, i think it was Bill Clinton wasn't it. Wake up and start being American, and stop being a neocon. It's like being a nazi, and supporting Hitler.

DIMS have no factual arguments, so they resort to calling people Hitler, Nazi's, racists, and other things. It's just proves their desperation. They do it because they can't fight the facts, so they just get angry. lol
The DIMS are on a witch hunt. They have a new toy called subpoena powers and their going to use it, before they lose it. lol The Dims are trying every, and any angle to impeach someone, anyone. They are desperate to humiliate the Bush White House, like Clinton humiliated them in the 90's. But the only problem they have is there is nothing there for them. Everything the DIMS are bringing up has no substance. They're dependent on the liberal media covering their over dramatic sound bites, and accusations, in hopes the American people might start believing something they are saying. If you ask me the DIMS are wasting their time, and it's time they don't have.
The DIMS image as angry, arrogant people is starting to come out again. This has always hurt the DIMS in the past. They are showing the American people that they don't have the leadership and maturity it takes to run the country. They are more concerned about retaliation for the sins of their past. Like I said before the DIMS are their worst enemies. All the Republicans have to do is sit back a watch them self destruct.
Don't underestimate them First Cav. In Maryland the Dems have a
solid majority and Gov. They just gave convicted felons the vote.
If the Dems get the Whitehouse, look for them to do the same thing
federally. Don't put it past them to give illegal alians the vote also.
No doubt about that. The DIMS would love nothing better than for 25,000,000 illegals to vote, that is those who aren't already voting.
Wouldn't that also be true for the Republicans, who also have refused to touch the immigration problem while they were in control? For the whole time they have been in control, they said nothing about the growing problem of illegals. Fact: Neither side wants the illegals to stop coming here. It's all part of the NAU, and this globalization. They want all 3 countries joined into one. Which would make a huge country out of 3. Good or Bad? Who knows. It might be a good thing. But I like things the way they are. 3 different ones.
