I'm very disappointed .....

[Bullwinkle925]

at not one democratic candidate supporting Dennis Kucinich and his ballsy attempt to uphold our constitution and have a full impeachment investigation of the V.P.

All standing at their podiums like total suck-up wimps.

[liberalnurse]

1. Except Gravel.

I'm not quite sure they don't support Kucinich in their heart....They just can't seem to get out of the "Safe Mode", business of a campaign.

[Bullwinkle925]

4. Yes - and that speaks volumes to me.

Think I'll be calling their offices to voice my disappointment tomorrow.

[frogcycle]

2. but didn't he handle it well?

I was very impressed.

[H2O Man]

5. I thought he did great.

His response was one of the high-points of the entire debate. More important than other candidates' responses was that all of the public watching the debate got to hear him explain why he is doing this.

[liberalnurse]

13. Yes, he cleared that up for everyone ....

It's on the record now with a clear, rational explanation. It can be replayed too if the media pundits wish to actually preform real journalism and discussion.

[Neoma]

3. I'm not all that surprised.

[Mind_your_head]

6. We, the people, will support him....

and WE, are a FORCE not ever to be taken lightly.

Peace,
M_Y_H

[bdamomma]

23. I agree with your comment, we are not to be ignored.

we maybe slow to do something but hopefully we will do it, sooner than later I hope.

[MadBadger]

7. I'm not surprised or disappointed

Candidates need to think with their brain and not their heart.

[rodeodance]

9. my mind and heart valcilate

[Freddie Stubbs]

8. Why should they when he couldn't convince even on Democratic member of Congress to cosponsor it?

It's obviously just a political stunt to try to jump start his flagging campaign, not a serious effort to impeach.

[The Gunslinger]

12. It's no stunt. Thats a RW talking point

What it is is a serious question about the courage of the Democratic frontrunners to actually to make a change or play it safe and just talk tough sometimes. Dennis Kucinich actually has courage and he is now the candidate I support, even though he doesn't have a chance. Sometimes you have to do whats right not what's the safest or most popular.

[Freddie Stubbs]

17. The fact that not one single Democrat in Congress will cosponsor this

is a sign that it is political farce. Not even Barbara Lee or Maxine Waters is supporting it. Are they followers of RW talking points?

[The Gunslinger]

19. No but I bet they are afraid to rock the boat.

The Rightist talking heads will say the same thing tomorrow to swiftboat Dennis, and make him look like a "left wing kook".

[Freddie Stubbs]

20. Barbara Lee was the only member of the House to vote againt the war in Afghanastan

That took a lot of balls to do a few days after 9/11. Even Kucinich voted to give Bush the power to wage war then.

[roody]

21. Maybe the corporate legislators are the farce.

[Freddie Stubbs]

24. Including Barbara Lee and Maxine Waters, who have declined to support Kucinich's effort?

:shrug:

[Greyhound]

25. No, it's a sign that they are more concerned with their employment than the good

of the nation, and it is shameful.

[Freddie Stubbs]

30. Do you beleive that Barbara Lee is afraid that she will not be reelected if she supports this?

:shrug:

[Greyhound]

37. First I know next to nothing about her but I do know the area pretty well,

and while she certainly doesn't have to worry about losing to a Republik challenger, she knows that if she loses the favor of the Democratic Party Power Brokers and they run another candidate against her, there is a very real possibility that she would indeed lose her seat.

As I said they are more concerned about their own jobs than the good of the country.

[Freddie Stubbs]

38. She is one of the most liberal members of the House

She was the only member of Congress to vote against authorizing the use of military force against Afganastan after September 11. She is no shrinking violet.

[Greyhound]

40. Which has nothing to do with what I said.

I've no doubt that she could make it a fight, but if the Democratic Party Machine of NoCal, actively worked against her, she might very well lose, something she currently doesn't have to worry about at all.

Similar to Obama's new attitude once he got "the talk" after his primary (or maybe it was before the actual primary, but after it was clear he would win).

[PreacherCasey]

14. Bullshit. Please refrain from spouting it.

[Freddie Stubbs]

18. I will continue to spout common sense as long as I please

[lonestarnot]

27. common sense hmmmmf. To you maybe, but indicates you are not constitutionally educated.

[Freddie Stubbs]

28. What specific provision in the Constitution requires the House to impeach Cheney?

:shrug:

[lonestarnot]

32. How bout manipulating evidence and lying us into a fucking war w/o end?

[Freddie Stubbs]

33. Where in the Constitution does it REQUIRE the House to impeach for that?

:shrug:

[lonestarnot]

41. Treasonist motherfuckers got to go!

[Freddie Stubbs]

43. So, you admit that there is no provision in the Constitution making impeachment mandatory?

:shrug:

[loudsue]

35. And yet people EVERYWHERE are calling for impeachment.

Never before in my almost 60 years on this planet have I seen so many people pushing for impeachment...from lonely citizens, to city councils, to state legislatures...there's talk of impeachment EVERYWHERE on the ground.

Yet those who are supposed to REPRESENT our views in congress remain mute.

Kucinich is a courageous statesman who LISTENS to the people, and actually gives a damn what's best for his country, as opposed to what's best for his "image" or his pocketbook.

:kick::kick::kick:

[Freddie Stubbs]

36. What percentage of the people support Cheney's impeachment?

:shrug:

[az chela]

10. I was totally shocked!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dennis has more balls than anyone on the stage!!!!!!
For that he gets my support

[Bullwinkle925]

11. Hear Hear!!

[Captain Hilts]

15. You need balls to support the Constitution? Live and learn. nt

[Individualist]

16. Their reaction was disgusting but not surprising.

[leftofthedial]

22. for $ome rea$on, the oligarchy doesn't want unka dick impeached

so their loyal servants would never dream of supporting DK's impeachment

[Freddie Stubbs]

31. Is Barbara Lee a loyal servent of the the oligarchy?

She is not supporting impeachment?

[lonestarnot]

26. I intend to address each and every candidate in handwritten

letters regarding just this matter over the weekend. Wimps all around!

[Virginia Dare]

29. It's not a deal breaker for me...

Pelosi and Reid are going to spend the next year and half smacking Bush and Cheney further into the ground. The Repuke voters will be so depressed and disillusioned, they'll stay home in droves. Why stir up the Republican base and run the risk of alienating the Independent voters by bringing Articles of Impeachment?

The Repukies will leave office with close to single digit approval numbers I predict. We'll be looking great going into the election.

[BlooInBloo]

39. NO! We have to have EVERYTHING we want NOW! If it doesn't happen NOW, they're TRAITORS!

:rof:

[deutsey]

34. I'm very unsurprised, unfortunately...

:evilfrown:

[jillan]

42. That might change

as Tenet's book gets out there.

It was an ackward moment last nite.
