She definitely acts like she is in CAHOOTS with the Bush Administration as well. Come on Nancy, stand up for the REASONS THIS NATION WAS FOUNDED UPON AND HELP TO BRING DOWN THE SOURCES OF CORRUPTION IN OUR NATION...DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION.

One more note- After we impeach these tyrants, I think they should take a nice long vacation at Guantanamo Bay.</description>

Impeachment Update!

Here&#039;s a quick update on the chances that the House will impeach President Bush or Vice President Cheney during their last year in office: It&#039;s not happening.

At the end of her weekly press briefing this morning, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was asked why she had not supported the burgeoning effort to impeach Cheney and &quot;hold his feet to the fire.&quot;

After joking that she wished she had taken another reporter&#039;s question instead, Pelosi said that she has been opposed to impeachment proceedings since Democrats took power a year ago and remains so today.

&quot;What I had said right from the start is that we&#039;re trying to bring the country together,&quot; Pelosi said. &quot;It was my belief that an impeachment of the Vice President or the President would be very divisive for the country.&quot;

Despite significant support for impeachment - particularly of Cheney - at the grass-roots Democratic level and in the liberal blogosphere, Democratic leaders on the Hill have been relatively quiet on the subject and have shown no appetite for such proceedings. An impeachment resolution against Cheney, introduced last April by Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio), currently has 24 co-sponsors.

Pelosi said that she knows there is some support for such a move, but she cautioned that &quot;the prospect for success is so minimal but the damage would be so consequential.&quot;

She acknowledged that she has been criticized for that stance, laughing about running into people at airports wearing buttons calling for impeachment. But, barring some new scandal, she doesn&#039;t sound ready to change her tune. The current administration has exactly a year left in office, and Pelosi seems content to just wait it out.

&lt;a href=&quot;www.thepetitionsite/petition/537250776&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;www.thepetitionsite/petition/537250776&lt;/a&gt;

called Global People for Impeachment
and would appreciate any help getting it out to build &lt;strong&gt;internationa&lt;/strong&gt;l pressure.

The accusations ARE serious but Americans are acting like frogs SLOWLY being boiled to death in increasingly hot water! The rest of the world knows that war crimes have been committed.  We are all responsible to see that no more crimes against humanity are committed and no retaliation against the US is taken under Geneva.  Impeachment is truly necessary.

The email address for the site is:  &lt;a href=&quot;impeach.to.end.war.crimes@gmail.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;impeach.to.end.war.crimes@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Fred the lesser of 2 evils is a con game , and I do not believe that telling the democrats they are assured my vote is likely to hold their feet to the fire . ANY CANDIDATE WHO WILL NOT RESTORE MY BASIC RIGHTS IS A COLLABORATOR AND DOES NOT DESERVE ANY TRUST .
The politics of hope ? Sorry ,rhetoric , so short on details is a lie .

I disagree.  Like Fred, I think it&#039;s more important to have some sort of progress, any progress, rather than risk electing a criminal like Bush/Cheney.  Right now, the worst of the Democratic candidates is better than the best of the Republican candidates.  This is not always the case, but this year is most assuredly is.

The best long-term strategy to get the country on the correct track is to elect the best possible candidate that is electable (right now, Edwards and Obama, by the numbers, are the most electable, and Hillary is third most electable).  Then, when the state of the union improves, you &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;raise the bar for the next candidate(s).&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;  Refuse to settle for less than the previous president, always looking for the next generation to be an improvement over the current generation.

If the American people can keep voting along such lines, and not be fooled by wedge issues (such as abortion and gay marriage) designed for no other reason than to foment chaos, and distract the electorate, this ship can be righted still.  If not, down it goes, swallowed by the sea of history.</description>

		<description>&quot;It would not be in the Democratsâ€™ best interest to bring impeachment charges in an election year which would appear highly partisan, and then lose in a highly publicized Senate trial for lack of evidence.&quot;

Really?  Republicans did exactly that and then &quot;won&quot; the presidency.

Plus there was not enough evidence when House Judiciary started the Nixon impeachment hearings, but they found it, and several Republican committee members voted for impeachment.

Against Cheney and Bush there are heaps of evidence.  They even admit destroying tapes and other evidence of criminal activities.

Start the hearings!</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;It would not be in the Democratsâ€™ best interest to bring impeachment charges in an election year which would appear highly partisan, and then lose in a highly publicized Senate trial for lack of evidence.&#8221;</p>
<p>Really?  Republicans did exactly that and then &#8220;won&#8221; the presidency.</p>

		<description>Lefty: &quot;ohplease, perjury about a blowjob is not a high crime by any measure.&quot;

No kidding. The various definitions of &quot;high crimes&quot; were crafted, in part, by a guy who was boinking one of his slaves, one who was having an affair with a cousin and a guy who had multiple affairs with prostitutes. I&#039;m pretty sure that when they were thinking about &quot;high crimes,&quot; sex was the farthest thing from their minds.</description>

		<description>freeman: &quot;Why is it Edwards is completely ignored by the MSM&quot;

Edwards wants to re-regulate the media. He&#039;s made that clear. According to a recent article in the British press, corporate lobbyists all agree that the candidate corporate America would LEAST like to see President is John Edwards. Therefore, it&#039;s no coincidence that the corporate media tries to ignore him. He&#039;s the last thing they want to have to deal with.</description>

		<description>ohplease: &quot;TP users are so silly.
Clinton committed perjury. That is a high-crime.&quot;

Clinton was ACCUSED of perjury, not convicted, smart guy. The definition of perjury is to lie about something material to the case. Clinton was accused of lying about his Lewinsky affair, but the lie came with respect to a &quot;perjury trap&quot; which was set during a deposition regarding the Paula Jones accusations which was a different case, so he was never going to be convicted of perjury. 

Here&#039;s a thought: before you accuse others of being &quot;silly,&quot; get your facts straight so you don&#039;t come off like a know-it-all shit-heal.

As far as your pathetic non-explanations of what you think has gone on with respect to Bush and his band of war criminals, they&#039;re so pathetic that it would be useless to even argue about them, but I thought at least you should be clear on the definition of perjury.</description>
