AOL.com poll
Believe it or not, aol's home page has it as top news with a poll which 56 percent say thumbs up and 44 percent thumbs down. This is quite frankly astounding, because most aol users have been very republican over the years from my observation of polls over the years. The poll follows sentence "The resolution is not expected to go anywhere." Who are their sources?
Kucinich's site is down...?

The Corporate Thief, Murder maniac, and vice president

Follow the money trail to the VP's front door via Arms sales, Oil profits, General Collusion and using George Bush's burnt out Drug and Alcohol induced lack of thought process as the fall guy. Just like Judis the president traded the Honor and Respect of the United States for a few million dollars and Countless lives of Brave men on both sides of this illegal Occupation of a foreign Nation.
What did Our Founding Fathers do to the Invading British that tried the same thing all those years ago? Names, dates and locations have changed, no doubt the End Results Will be the same for Our Beloved United States as it was for the Brits.
Driven by Greed and a lack of manhood, the cowardly vice president is nothing but a Punk thug in a suit. He thinks himself Above Reproach, the Law and Accountability for Crimes against the United States and World Citizens.
Every time someone has a clue that foul mouth, using Fear and False Patriotism, half man, no balls, Dickless Cheney,he cries and calls them Unpatriotic or Subversives? What a load of Cowardly double speak. That Punk is not even a Veteran.
He is an Awful representation of Humanity and of Leadership. Can you tell I think him a Coward and Thief of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Freedom to all on this Planet? All for his and his Cronies Personal Profits?
Bad enough Jeb Bush was in on it too from the Beginning in the half counted votes in Florida.
The Sad part of all this Evil the current administration has inflicted on this Once Great Nation and the World, NOTHING will happen to him and his kind.
Give me a break........
Im sorry. Did you notice the state of affairs in Iraq BEFORE we got there? A butcher for a Dictator, you know him as old Rape Room Sadam. We have lost around 5000 US soldiers over there in the last 4 years. It cost us that many men on D-Day on Normandy Beach. I guess we could have sat that one out, but you would have probably been writing this post in German.
Big Clue on Cheney, he doesn't need the money. He had it before he became VP you moron. He gave up more than you can imagine just to accept the nomination for VP.
You cry babies are still whining about Florida. Get over it. It was fair and square, even your radical leftist judicial branch said so. I knew debaters who believed they could win an argument just by saying something over and over, kinda like you libs do. They were wrong then as you are wrong now. your "proof" is nothing more than opinion, with some highly distorted facts and half-truths to support it.
The fact that you dont have the guts to go to war is nothing new. President Bush told the entire nation it wouldn't be a quick war. Congress supported it then, and only when it was politically expedient to do so, did you libs change your minds. You make me sick. The entire nation of Iraq owes President Bush a debt of gratitude for being a man strong enough to lead a nation down a non-PC accepted path and free them.
Now it is time for Iraq to step up and handle their own problems. I believe the term is "Man Up". We used to call it "Grow Up". From the flavor of your post, Im pretty sure such words were never heard in your house.

*****************************************************************
As I said in my first reply..if, and I do mean if, the house votes to impeach, the senate vote to bring bush to trial will be similar to the AOL public opinion poll and the senate needs 60 yea votes to bring bush to trial. I just don't see 60 yea votes happening.

The poll has been pulled
but last I looked it was 58 /42, and TP I don't understand how you relate an overwhelmingly republican (though we need to come for a new name for repubs calling for impeachment, to distinquish a bit) AOL user base to our nearly 50/50 senate. I would guess comparing the two would have the senate securing a veto proof :) majority.
Stand corrected. Poll up
Thanks John, Couldn't find anywhere after it left front page. See AOL poll link in Forums up above.
Rain, OK as of about 2:10 pm central
Using this link.

Will try to save the AOL page as it now looks - in case it permanently disappears - NOT successful; was able to copy out the poll results and the heading with picture only.
What do you think of Rep. Dennis Kucinich's bid to impeach President Bush?
Thumbs up 58%
Thumbs down 42%
Total Votes: 76,267
Do you believe President Bush deliberately misled the nation into going to war against Iraq?
Yes 62%
No 33%
I'm not sure 5%
Total Votes: 78,246
It would be better to have the image to present if they do pull it.

The democrats hold majority in the senate by the slimmest margin, 51 dems to 49 repukies. To bring bush to trial which is the senate does (not the house) should the house actually impeach, the senate needs 60 yea votes in favor of bringing bush to trial.
That means all 50 democrats and independents in the senate must vote yea for trial and at least 10 repukie senatorss, all of whom rubber-stamped everything bush wanted did including his farts voting yea for bringing bush to trial.
Now do "YOU" see any of those republican senators jumping up and down yelling "let's put bush on trial if the house impeaches him?" I don't.
You typically as liberals do, reached out of the center field bleachers with your accusal, so show me and everyone else dear, where I related an "overwhelming republican" anything.

Sorry if unclear in writing -
I was referring to the majority of folks who use AOL. I'm sure I'm a little off in memory, but I think I was one of the nine people that voted (in a poll)not to invade Afghanistan or Iraq. My point is the users as have really changed their opinions of Bush and his policies. I wasn't accusing you of anything. Think the Senators might be listening to constituents and want to keep their seats next election. And once the hearings begin and they are forced to look at the facts, how could they not vote for impeachment. I say we'd get 60 or more, but don't want to argue with you about it. Am hopeful. Peace.

No problem kiddo. Unfortunately I'm getting a little defensive myself. I award you one free kick on my posterior.

Impeachment of Bush and Cheney
You miss the Point with all that . " We can't win"
Who cares. We must try. We must make it known that they can't do any thing they want. We can try again and at least it will go down in History that We will Harbor no
Dictators in this Country. Impeach!!

Do you have to be an aol user to do the poll?
This good news for sure. The Washington Pravada did not have anything on the front page about the articles of impeachment. Not news for that rage I guess.
4Peace
4Peace, no.
I had no problem. Though not a legitimate poll, the percentages may be close to those of one. The percentages haven't changed that much during the day though the word may have gone out to the far left progressive sites.
I found it
I voted. I suppose people on both sides are being told about it. I wonder what red blooded Americans believes it is OK to lie to the people unless it involves sex? I swear my sister is still upset that Clinton lied about his carrying on with Monica. Killing children in Iraq is just fine with her. She's a good Christian.

Homosexual prostitute in White House
Does your sister know about Jeff Guckert, male escort and owner of hotmilitarystuds.com who advertised his wares on the web?
This fake reporter got fast-track press credentials to ask Bush softball questions at press briefings. He visited the White House over 100 times, often when no briefing was scheduled and 13 times without a departure time recorded in the visitor log.
Ask your sister why the 'librul media' isn't investigating or obsessing over Guckert's blue dress? When will they point the hypocrisy of using ballot initiatives like gay marriage to boost turnout in 2004 while Guckert was servicing someone in the White House?
Had Dennis included Guckert among the propaganda campaign conspirators the press, especially Fox, would be all over this news.
Lies and Christianity
I too have a few of those good Christians in my family, who also happen to be Republicans. Their argument? But he's a Christian...he's our president...he knows more than us...etc.
My own 18-yr old grandson, who probably watches Fox, makes me want to cry when his rhetoric becomes so nationalistic. Namaste

Don't believe iT
AOL is not Republican. They may not share your views, but they are definitely not conservative or Republican by any sense of either word.
Oh, and by the way, Kucinich's Impeachment movement should be more simply referred to as his movement; because, that's all it is, pure, unadulterated movement.
Neither President Bush nor Vice President Cheney have committed any high crimes or misdemeanors. The only reason why nut jobs like Kucinich want to impeach either gentlemen is because they somehow perceive the movement as an opportunity to take revenge for President Clinton, whose legacy will be every bit as classy and memorable as the material he left on Monica's blue dress.
Time to Play Hard Ball!
It is time for this pathetic Democratic congress to grow a pair and start playing hard ball. Think, what would Karl Rove do; as disgusting as that is, being a bad ass when you are wrong is one thing, but being a bad ass when you are right is quite a good thing!
Just filing articles of impeachment is not enough, Kucinich should follow thru without delay and force a vote, if it is voted down, tabled or refered to committee then Kucinich or Wexler or somewone else should file new articles and again force a vote. Tie up congress with his issue until they act on it. The people are behind you what are you waiting for; I can not think of a better way to ensure a Democratic land slide victory in the next election than to tie up congress with the impeachment issue; what a beautiful thing for the Obama campaign than to have the lies, crimes and missdeeds of Bush and Cheney constantly in the news.
There is no way in hell that i will vote for or support any Democrat in the next election if Bush and Cheney have not been impeached!
he HAS forced a vote
they have 72 hours
And he will most likely lose
And he will most likely lose the vote.
DENNIS IS GOING TO WIN...... I want him to.....
Dennis is going to succeed. I put the full power of Heaven and all the Angels, Saints, and Gods/Goddesses behind him! Besides, Jesus wants these !@#$%^&*() out of here, too! Thank you God for Impeachment. There's going to be dancing in the streets. We the People got Gay & Lesbian Marriage, so We the People will get Impeachment, also. HAPPY JUNE, EVERYBODY!!!! Life is beautiful.
This is Other Worldly
Got up 4 AM PST and scanned the dial. NOTHING! Not a crawl, joke, snark, mention, nada, zip!
While listening to Dennis, I felt giddy, it was thrilling to have my adult daughter high fiving me, phone ringing every 5 minutes!
Dennis should have his office filled with flowers! I am going to make some big IMPEACH signs and hang them over the freeway!!!!!!!!!
Call! Call! Call! Remember, paper letters still take several weeks as they are irradiated before being delivered.

Watch C-SPAN today...because it was announced that Kucinich WOULD BE issuing those impeachment articles of the floor of the house.

That is terriffic! I sent my congressman a message ... a vote not for impeachment will mean he loses my vote. But, alas, he knows I won't vote fror him anyway ... however, if he votes for impeachment I may vote for him. He's a Repub but the democrats (except Mr. Kucinich) kind of suck.

Phase II report - White House commited grievous crimes
the Phase II report
lays it all down that what Victor Bugliosi states in his book, Prosecuting George W. Bush: 16 Agency report given to White House was stripped of its direct and conclusive findings and the redacted report was given to the American Public for the verdict of war with Iraq. FRAUD with intent to commit FRAUD.
Phase II report is CONFIRMATION for the USA. Confirmation of LYING to the country to go to war.
Washington D.C. should in the very least all retain laywers, this is not going away but is in fact most likely the biggest crime ever committed in US history.
Media Blackout will only mean after President is Prosecuted and Convicted, that McCarthy trials will begin for the ALL the networks and Cable TV News outlets.
Don't let anyone think this is not a most serious matter.

panic in the white house
Censorship or just coincidence?
Okay, this is freaking me out.
Just found out about Kucinich's impeachment attempt b4 the House yest., went to Cspan web site, searched for it, couldn't find footage of it there.
Then went onto this site, afterdowningstreet and guess what? It kept saying "problem loading page" and would not open up the site! I was persistent and eventually got the site to open but then my computer crashed and I got a port scan attack coming from menchu.mayfirst.org
I tried several more times and eventually was able to get on this site again but the problem seemed to occur when I clicked on the call the media all day on Tuesday icon. Then when I tried to contact afterdowningstreet the computer slowed down again. And again when I tried to post this comment things slowed down. I'm curious as to whether this comment will even get processed.
Also I tried accessing Kucinich.Us web site and the same thing happened--there was a "problem loading page" and I couldn't open up the site!
The mediavolunteer.org site doesn't open up either and I'm told I need to enter a password in order to open it?
This is really weird. I've been censored b4 on the internet by myspace when trying to voice political opinions but this really freaks me out... They must really be afraid of our calling the media and our congresspeople in support of impeachment.
Or maybe my computer trouble is just a coincidence? I've been using the internet all morning with no problems and can open up other web sites easily right now with no trouble. Only afterdowning and Kucinich's sites have been slowing down and/or crashing my computer!
Okay, just previewed my comment and received another port scan attack...We'll see if this comment gets posted or if my computer crashes me out of the site.
afterdowningstreet has been slow or not accessible
this morning, but, I am patient.

Its about damned time!!!
These articles of impeachment have been laying there gathering dust for well over a year. Now getting enough votes to impeach that rat bastard and drag him through the same mud republicans drug Clinton through is the next hurdle.
Impeachment may, and only may get approved and passed by the house, I have my doubts about some like liberjewman casting a yea vote, but even if the house impeaches the senate will never get enough votes out of the right wing rubber-stampers to put him on trial.

Don't bring that total dumb--- Clinton into this
This is not about getting even. Clinton should have been impeach but not for his dalliances with Monica. That was disgusting but not impeachable. He is a natural born criminal like his wife. Bush, other hand cannot, cannot tell the difference between a lie and the truth. He is morally vacant.

censorship is alive and well
Just wanted to add that this same thing happened to me on m y s p a c e when I tried to send messages to my friends about
i m p e a c h m e n t
not only did my computer slow down but I was booted out of my homepage and my friends were deleted from my friends list! So I had to re-add them. It was preaching to the choir too as my friends were already for
i m p e a c h m e n t so it wasn't as though I was harassing them or anything like that. It ended up taking me over an hour to get my messages sent which involved checking
the afterdowningstreet web site for info on
action steps we can take. So yeah, if this is a computer glitch and Kucinich's site is down I personally think it's orchestrated. Call me a conspiracy theorist if you will, but every other site I log onto right now is opening up right away but oddly the Kucinich site and this site are unusually slow or not opening up at all...
I think this is good news though because it shows that they really are scared of our efforts so this just makes me want to work even harder at pushing for
i m p e a c h men t
I pray that Dennis Kucinich is safe.
Given the message bearer,
Given the message bearer, we're supposed to take all of this seriously?
Yes. Take this seriously. Get laid tonight!
Or else increase your intelligence, good looks, health, sex appeal, AND your income, without having to haul yer butt out of bed, simply by holding good thoughts and prayers of Dennis succeeding in impeaching Bush. With the help of everybody in Congress who prefers great sex to everybody trashing them as a bunch of morons. This is guaranteed to put hair only on those parts of your body where you WANT hair (none of my goddam business, lol, that!)
Meaning what? That I can't be taken seriously?
Just curious about your comment. "Given the message bearer, we're supposed to take all of this seriously?" Is that a personal attack on me, the "message bearer"? I really need to know what you mean by that because, as far as I know, you don't know me, and I don't know you, so what exactly do you mean by that comment? Who are you? Why don't you tell us your name instead of posting anonymously?
It's people like you who cause me to want to step away from this movement. And, in fact, that's exactly what I'm going to do--starting now.
What am I fighting for anyway? I have better things to do with my time than to post on sites like this, call and write my congress people and spend hours on sites like myspace urging people to impeach our criminal president then to get personal attacks leveled at me on sites like this.
Apparently, people like you have no idea how risky it is nowadays to express political beliefs that go against the Bush administration. My guess is you've never heard of CointelPro or Bush's TIPS program. Or perhaps in your constant state of stupidity you don't believe they exist.
Well, believe me, those programs are alive and well, and some of us really suffer because we've taken great personal risk in an effort to stand up for this country and the civil liberties it used to stand for. I really believe in freedom and democracy. Having met countless immigrants hailing from dictatorships around the world, I know how precious and rare liberty is around the world. We really were truly lucky in this country. But that is about to end, sadly.
I've actually lost a job because of neo-conservative coworkers who found out about my political leanings and were determined to drive me out. They succeeded. But you just go ahead and label me a "conspiracy theorist" or someone not to be taken seriously. Go ahead, make my day. I'm just really tired of people like you.
I'm tired of fighting a losing battle. Go back to sleep, America. Everything's okay. Don't listen to those wacky conspiracy theorists who think they're being censored, etc. There were people spreading rumors about Hitler too back in the 1930s but most people didn't believe those silly rumors.
I'm going to request that I'm removed as a "member" on this web site and fight the urge to get involved politically for a while. Because I'm not sure that a population as dumbed down as Americans are worth fighting for anyway.
Is that serious enough for you?
Conspiracy and theory
Good enough time as any to remind old and new here my belief that the words conspiracy and theory need to be separated always and forever. Framers of real conspiracies coined the term to deride those who were on to something.
My computer has been rough all day. When it goes down I pay more attn to CSpan, where Reid recently suspended business in the senate in order to resume torture/FBI hearing that repubs have been trying to interrupt with other votes on floor.
I had a drive disappear on me earlier today
I was clicking Wexler's Co-Sponsor article downthread and all my open ff browsers froze, the message in the lower corner was, "waiting for widget...", then my computer froze and I went to emergency shutdown. Restarting led to "cannot find operating system". Restarted again after power and cat5 removal for 10 minutes and f1 boot sequence info to find only one drive listed, followed instructions provided by xp pro to inspect computer for new hardware and software including viruses and restart came through. Checked system drives, one simply missing, and went to system restore where I received the message that the second drive could not be restored. Instead, I reconnected without the second drive and all is well again... only thing is that the drive that quit was only 8 months old set up as a "mirror" while the original is 9 years and at 96% full... I believe this was a simple premature crash of that drive, but I'm throwing it out in case this becomes a pattern.
kucinich.us is listed "Open DNS"

Dennis Kucinich is a Hero
Our representative here in the third district, Oregon, refuses to call for impeachment of the war criminals in the White House. He mocks Dennis Kucinich whenever he can. Blumenauer, during an interview for the Willamette Weekly with John Sweeney and myself, said that Kucinich only got about 2% of the vote for President and based on that, said impeachment was not an issue. This is our representative in the most progressive district in the state, if not the country. He got over 85% of the vote in the primary on May 20th of this year. This was one of the reasons I finally left the democratic party and became an independent. I cannot stand the cocktail democrats who call themselves progressives and their constituents buy into it----it boggles the mind!
We, Individuals for Justice, have been protesting outside of Blumenauer’s office for almost a year now, holding him accountable for his actions. We have been arrested, threatened, ignored and frozen during the cold months but we will remain until bush and his dick are out of office or Blumenauer calls for impeachment.
Blumenauer is an opportunist and people in his district are being fooled by his statements on how hard he is trying to stop this war in Iraq. He is a liar, there is no war in Iraq, only occupation and genocide of the people of this destroyed nation. He must be replaced by a peacemaker.
Bottom line---Blumenauer, Pelosi, Reid are punks, Kucinich is a hero!
Joe Walsh-lone vet
Vet
Hero?
How about just upholding his oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America from all enemies foreigh and domestic.
On this I give Kucinich all the credit he deserves which is magnanamous, but to say he is hero he is not; not for performing his sworn duty I won't say that. His, Wexler, Conyers, and all the rest, jobs are to right wrongs when they discover them NO MATTER WHO THE WRONG DOER(S) IS/ARE.
We the tax payers, pay these people in our congress hansomly
to work for us all diligently which in main they have not been doing for the last 13 years, and specifically the democrats have not been doing last 18 months. And whether or not you liberal types like it or even believe it, bush AND cheney should have been impeached AND put on trial by June LAST year and we would already be rid of the sonsofbitches!!
TP
The political party I belong to is the entire body politic of the United States of America and our Constitution that I support without bias which neither states or implies any allegiance with any other socalled organized political party.
Hey...
In the current, bought-and-paid-for political climate he IS a hero! Why? Because he IS doing his job where most elected, deep-pockets aren't. Semantics, Buckaroo. Semantics!
I heartily agree
In this climate where our entire mainstream media is afraid to call a spade a spade, Kucinich is standing up and doing it. NO ONE else is. Who else is trying their best to defend the Constitution?
Now is the Time... June
Now is the Time... June 10, 2008
If you owned a rental house and found out that it was being completely trashed
and stripped down and used for all sorts of illegal activities, including secret imprisonment and torture, but there were 7 months left on the rental lease....
Would you allow the perpetrators to proceed with total impunity, allowing the
lease to run out, then just meekly clean up the horrors left behind and try to rebuild your rental house?!
OR
Would you exercise your legal rights and responsibilities, by filing for eviction
and criminal charges, to ensure that these illegal activities stopped and the criminals were brought to justice ?
Congress as a whole, including the Democratic Congressional Representatives, have allowed the Bush Administration to trash our House of Government (with lies, deceptions and secrecy that launched an illegal war and illegal government acts, such as secret “renditions”, secret prisons, torture, indefinite detentions, etc.), strip our government of meaningful Constitutional checks and balances, the Bill of Rights, government responsibilities and accountability, and strip our federal budget and economy
(by allowing private interests to pillage our taxpayer dollars, public assets, and our economy at will, with no responsible oversight).
Congress has made no effective attempt to correct George W. Bush's arrogant assertion of unlimited Executive power and his characterization of the U.S. Constitution as “just a goddamned piece of paper”. Congress has tolerated unprecedented numbers of serious violations of our Constitution and of federal statutes and has failed to apply the Constitutional prescription for gross abuse of power, namely Articles of Impeachment. Congress has allowed the Bush Administration to violate federal statutes, treaties, and our Constitution with total impunity.
A core assumption of our beloved U.S. Constitution is that no man is above the law. In fact, impunity is odious not only to our Constitution or to democratic principles in general, but to ANY semblance of civilized governance. When, in the context of so many unprecedented violations of law and the Constitution, impeachment continues to be “off the table”, civilized governance has been removed from the menu.
Impunity is not a sustainable social value. Therefore, to re-assert the basic premise that no man
is above the law, to restore our Constitution and legitimate and responsible governance, to restore rule of law and our American values, to restore our reputation in the world and our own faith in our country and in Congress, the US House of Representatives must act today to accept Kucinich's ( June 9th 2008) Articles of Impeachment !
NOW IS THE TIME for all good citizens to call their Representative in Congress and demand impeachment and the restoration of responsible governance. NOW IS THE TIME for our elected Representatives to exercise their Congressional Oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution...
call the media!!
forchrissakes.
Posting here is a fool's errand and pretty much a total waste unless you have really important info, soooo I say
