January 16, 2008 Bush Era, Impeachment Events 5

Think Progress — Last night, Rep. Robert Wexler (D-FL) took to the House floor to urge the House Judiciary Committee to begin impeachment hearings into Vice President Cheney for “high crimes and misdemeanors.” [During which, Wexler specifically mentions Impeach for Peace’s contributions to the process!] Wexler, who has already acquired nearly 190,000 supporters through his website, explained his next steps:

<tr><td>Tomorrow, I will deliver these names to my colleagues on the Judiciary Committee with a letter to my friend, Chairman Conyers, calling for hearings. I will ask my colleagues to sign this letter "¦ Continuing every day for months, I will publish in the Congressional Record several thousand names of supporters who signed up.

History demands that we take action, because the case against Vice President Cheney is far stronger than the illegality surrounding Watergate.</td></tr></table>

“In the history of our nation, we have never encountered a moment where the actions of a President or a Vice President have more strongly demanded the use of the power of impeachment,” Wexler said last night.

  1. I hope the impeachment won’t drag on for another year because I really want to see Vice President Cheney impeached for “high crimes and misdemeanors”. If he and his cronies hadn’t pushed President Bush into attacking Iraq because of their wish to control Iraq’s oil fields, the enormous debt our country now has would be non-existent. The size of this debt is largely responsable for the probable slide into a depression that all middle and lower class people are worried about. Furthermore, the immorality of our occupation of Iraq can never be erased because it has led

    a) to the death of over 4,000 American soldiers;

    b) to the even larger number of brave and patriotic soldiers who have returned home with mental and physical problems, and

    c) to the world-wide hatred of Americans on the part of Muslims and non-Muslims alike.

    There are few events in the world of politics in the United States of America that would give me more pleasure than to see Cheney behind bars!

  2. I would love to see these assholes impeached, removed from office and put behind bars, but it is too late now. When they leave office next year, our media will stop hiding our 3.5 year old recession and reveal that we are in a full blown depression, and that we are now China’s and the Saudi’s bitches. I suggest we prepare for this depression and let these assholes run off to our future capitol in Paraquay. Hide enough MRE’s for at least 5 years.
