Vermont Democrats Call for Bush Impeachment

One hundred Vermont state officials agreed to petition the Republican-controlled Congress to introduce articles of impeachment against Bush for the WMD and wiretapping scandals. “You know in your own hearts and minds that something is terribly wrong in this country,” said one Vermont Democrat.


Reuters:

Randolph, Vermont - Democratic Party leaders in Vermont on Saturday passed a motion asking Congress to immediately begin impeachment proceedings against President Bush.

In an elementary school cafeteria strewn with American flags and copies of the US Constitution, some 100 state party officials agreed to make the request to the US House of Representatives.

“You know in your own hearts and minds that something is terribly wrong in this country,” said Margaret Lucenti, a Democrat from Vermont’s capital Montpelier.

As harmonious stupidity travels this country, corrupting civil rites, destroying Earth’s environment, and starting wars- all for one’s mindless, power-hungry ego, the president lives on. Searching power where ever he pleases, adding growth to his repulsive self-image, no place shall he stop to make use of his authority, which he does not disserve, to control this nation, to direct the every day abilities and functions of people, and to control for the sake of power and self-worth.  As every day proceeds, Careless acts of ignorance are foully sustained through the president’s mindless and dreadful soul. George W. Bush does not deserve, nor has he ever deserved to be called the president of this, or any other country.

Hooray for those who have guts enough to impeach Bush and get this country back on track. We need the democratic party to take control and repair our image to the world and restore the greatness of America. The American people has never had less, and done without more than now. Bush has destroyed our country financially, and has taken us to depths that no other tyrant has done. The democratic party neds to be in power to clean up another republican mess.

We need a reform party to shake things up… But I want a Green Constitution party to rise a reform party is more likely though maybe even one that endorses other third party groups. The democrats are not enough of a check and balance for us and we need diversity in our government not this group thinking nonsense!

I’m not an American, but the whole world is feeling the terrible consequences of this misguided president.  I can’t believe you people gave him a second term in office, after letting him get away with ‘stealing’ the first term, but please, do everything you can to get him out of there!

Fran, the ‘abused wife’ metaphor is brilliant.

What I want to know is: Why does the Democratic party leadership in the U.S. Senate continue to sit on it’s collective hands and not speak out more loudly against what Bush and Co. are doing to this country? For too long, Democratic senators have been cowed by this administration, and have refused to give voice to the rage that their constiuents feel. One of the senators from my state (Wa, Patty Murray) is up for reelection this year; I’m thinking about writing to tell her that I will be running against her. I’m of the opinion that any candidate who promises to kick George Bush in the [political] balls, metaphoricaly speaking of course, any chance they got would win, simply because most people are tired of their senators doing and saying nothing.

..Add to the list the ‘stolen election’ on behalf of his brother the governor of Florida and the bribery of the Supreme Court justices by the Rockefeller Controlling Family of American Politics..It has been said (see Maria Heller) that the Rockefellers have the final say so as to who is President…Bushes are Rockefeller satellites… and contrary to popular belief, your vote DID NOT COUNT IN THE LAST PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION..especially if you lived in Florida…..

As much as I’d like to see GWB impeached I am against it for the simple reason that it would divide the country even more than we already are and if successful Dick Cheney will become President. We would have to impeach both of them. That would be even more divisive and if successful we’d end up with Denny Hastert as our President. It’s a no-win situation. I would rather see all that effort go into electing Democrats this November.

About time.  The Democratic party has, for the past several years, behaved like an abused wife, watching her husband rape her children. She, like the Democratic party, is either too ignorant or too frightened to take any action, apparently preferring to ‘wait it out’ and hope the damage isn’t fatal.

Impeachment is an excellent idea, Bush has brought nothing but shame to this country and he needs to answer for it. If the democrates,republicans and citizens at large remain complacent about government by men then our country’s future is in peril.
Bush/Cheney have abused their power and continue to do so. The Senate must act to protect their citizens and protect what freedom we have left.

My husband and I support you all the way!

Don’t let those hateful republicans scare you!  Most of them don’t even realize they have been duped. And so many of those “so called” religious, rightwing wackos are doing whatever they can to hasten in their “ends of days” program.  (If they lived in the Middle East, we would call them terrorists!  And by the way, I can‘t stand that word; it reminds me of the “A“ word:  “antichrist“.  Another catch-all word for the wackos to use to scare everybody!)

I am over 50 years old and it has been a long time (since the 60’s) that I have felt this urgency.  When Regan was in power, it was scary then too, but not like this!
