Dennis Kucinich is all about impeachment. This odd strategy he has could only appeal to those on the far-left fringe in this country. He is to be lauded for the fact that he is, at least, unafraid to show his true colors, unlike his constituents.
Let's see what Kucinich's campaign has to say about his stoic and altruistic career, directly from his website:
"In 2002 the second great challenge of his elected career occurred.
After analyzing the 'evidence' presented by the Administration in its
rush to folly in Iraq and actually reading the National Intelligence
Estimate, he stepped forward to help lead 125 Democrats in voting
against the blank check for the President to wage an illegal, immoral
and ineffective war."
But if Cheney deserves impeachment, doesn't the rest of Congress who
voted for us to go to war deserve it as well? Are they not just as
responsible for these heinous war crimes? After all, as liberals who hate the President often enjoy forgetting, Congress did authorize his going to war.
It appears the rest of the House didn't do its job. None of them reviewed the "evidence" that was so clearly false. They were so easily hoodwinked by the dapperly call to arms that the "neo-cons" issued. None of them did their jobs. Why do they all get a pass?
Kucinich continues to use his position as a radical to placate the extremists in this country. His introducing articles of impeachment into the House is a purely political move. He knows that they will go no where; he knows that he will go no where. But in his blatant (to objective observers) attempts to appear a hero, it seems obvious that he is using the highest levels of our government to further service his own agenda of election--not of this presidential contest, mind you.
I see a senatorial position in his future, though. And as someone who turns our Congress into a spectacle of partisan hatred, he likely has a great future there.
