\n Other than Rep. Kucinich, none of the other candidates said they would support the impeachment of Vice President Dick Cheney. The Ohio Congressman was asked to defend his argument that impeachment was a good use of American time.<\/p>\n

He then added, “Mr. Cheney must be held accountable, he’s already ginning up cause for war against Iran. We have to protect and defend this Constitution…the American people should know there is at least one person running for president who wants to reconnect America to its goodness, its greatness, its highest principles.”<\/p>\n
