This will probably go down as one of the top news stories of 2008 that you’ve never heard about. Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) presented articles of impeachment against President George W. Bush on June 9, 2008. (It’s amazing that as Kucinich is presenting the articles of Impeachment in this C-SPAN video, his colleagues are not just ignoring him, they’re carrying on in conversation as if he’s not even speaking!)
Mainstream media gave very little attention to it – if any at all – because as the Fourth Branch of the United States Government their job is to control what you think and what you are exposed to. The Democrats and the Republicans are not interested in initiating impeachment proceedings against Bush though for different reasons.
The Republicans, naturally, wouldn’t want a sitting Republican President to undergo the scrutiny that comes along with the process – doing damage to the party and its future prospects of political leadership.
The Democrats, strangely enough, don’t want to support impeachment of George Bush because with his historically low approval rating, participation in war crimes, inattention to domestic programs, and general malfeasance in office, he has become a political pinata that the Dems can hold up and rally the masses toward the polls with. They wish to use him as a springboard for their return to power and are less interested in being faithful to their constitutional duty. Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has even said as far back as two years ago that impeachment was off the table.
Which reminded me of a conversation that Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance clergy had with a popular Maryland Congressman last summer. When one of the clergy mentioned the prospect of impeachment against Bush, the Congressman laughed in our faces. Therefore, they are culpable in this mess as well.
I caught up with Troy Johnson from 105.7FM (Baltimore) this past Saturday at the African American Men’s Health Conference and he let me know that Congressman Kucinich may be joining him on his radio show on Monday, June 23, 2008 10AM – 12NOON on 105.7FM to discuss his plans to impeach Bush. I will be tuning in and I hope you will as well.

Have you contacted your representative and let them know that you are not going to stand for a president that brought America to war on the basis of a lie. https://forms.house.gov/wyr/welcome.shtml, Ask your rep to co-sponsor the articles if they value your vote. Comment on any viral or social network, post this message on friends pages, blog, and email everyone you know to urge others to do the same. The mainstream media is not going to push this.
Don’t think there’s a case? Vincent Bugliosi the legendary prosecutor who convicted Manson, just wrote a book: The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder, a tight, meticulously researched legal case that puts George W. Bush on trial in an American courtroom for what is beyond any reason of a doubt the murder of nearly 4,000 American soldiers fighting in Iraq.
