OUR LEADER?

Since supporting Dennis Kucinich’s bid for president, he’s been keeping me up with his activities by email. I am watching the C SPAN broadcast of his reading into the congressional record of thirty-five separate articles of impeachment demanding the George and Dick show’s removal from office. Presently, he’s up to article nineteen: Extraordinary Rendition.

I suppose, as all legal writs must be as verbose as required to obfuscate all detectable meaning, he is required to begin and end each verse of tne variety of violations of his constitutional oath (20 illegal acts, 9 lies, 5 failure of duty and one wasting of government funds) with the chorus overture:
“In his conduct while President of the United States, George W. Bush, in violation of his constitutional oath to faithfully execute the office of President of the United States and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty under Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution "to take care that the laws be faithfully executed", has both personally and acting through his agents and subordinates, together with the Vice President, …”

Each followed by the coda,
“In all of these actions and decisions, President George W. Bush has acted in a manner contrary to his trust as President and Commander in Chief, and subversive of constitutional government, to the prejudice of the cause of law and justice and to the manifest injury of the people of the United States. Wherefore, President George W. Bush, by such conduct, is guilty of an impeachable offense warranting removal from office.”


With a list of charges like this, all of which could have been leveled since before the 2006 mid-term elections, the upcoming election has been the excuse for not acting on them by the new democratic party leaders — elected to do just that. Does anyone need more proof that there is not really two parties? There’s just one shovel in a two shafted mine exploiting the mountain of sheep ore in vulnerable veins of gullibility. On September 11, 1998 congress announced 11 charges brought by Republican lackey, Ken Starr, against Bill Clinton for lying about a blow job in the oval office. By December 21, the house impeached him for activities that in no way endangered anyone, despite a 70% public outcry to drop the whole thing. Perhaps it is the endangerment of the congress critters, should all the Bush secrets be examined, that assures his escape from his part in the September 11, 2001 blow job done on three, steel, square office buildings and all the crimes committed in retaliation since.
