Dennis Kucinich continues to show he is a true champion of the American people. When last month's 35-article impeachment attempt failed, he promised he'd be back. Unlike 99% of his colleagues, he kept his promise. The result was a 238-180 victory in the House on Tuesday for his article citing Bush's lies leading up to the Iraq war.
The next step will be a hearing before the Judiciary Committee. This is little more than a sham, however, as Dem leaders said impeachment will not be discussed. Rather, there will be an election-year review of Bush's actions - whatever that means. The hearing could take place next week.
I doubt anyone really thought impeachment was likely anyway, so there's really no letdown there. What is important, however, is that Kucinich stood by his convictions, and kept his promise to himself, his few genuine colleagues, and the American people. Unlike most, his promise to keep coming back with articles of impeachment wasn't a one-time piece of rhetoric.
Our criminal government constantly goes around saying, "90% of you don't like what we're doing, well too bad, we're going to do it anyway." This time the tables were turned. Last month the House said no to Kucinich, and his response was, "too bad. I'll be back as many times as it takes."
