Kucinich Readies for Friday's Showdown

Congressman Dennis Kucinich will take the next step toward the impeachment of George W. Bush on Friday when he goes before the House Judiciary Committee with an article citing abuse of Executive Power, in particular in the lead up to the Iraq war. Yesterday Kucinich dropped in on the Alex Jones Show and pleaded with listeners to contact their representatives, as well as all media outlets, and let them know just how important this hearing is. He also posted a YouTube video on Wednesday which again outlined the fundamentals and reasoning for his latest impeachment article.

While the criminality of the Bush Administration is an open-and-shut case, and the overwhelming majority of Americans support impeachment, leading Democrats continue to try and brush Kucinich and his articles aside, with a endless amount of empty and insulting arguments. Further evidence that aside from certain window dressing rhetoric, there's no difference between the parties.

In a sickening - if not surprising - last-minute move, Judiciary Chair John Conyers is now trying to relegate the hearing to one that's as short and ineffectual as possible. He has said, "no one at Friday's impeachment hearing can accuse Bush or Cheney of any crime, or any impeachable offense, or dishonorable conduct, or even lying." Then what is the point of the hearing, John?

This remark comes one week after Conyers was quoted as saying, “credible allegations of serious misconduct” by Bush and Cheney need to be researched and reviewed. More doublespeak from one of the most treasonous closet Neo-Con admirers on the Left.

Kucinich also pointed out on Wednesday that moving forward with impeachment may just slow down the Neo-Cons' plans for an attack on Iran. As Bush and Co. near the end of their reign, an attack appears ever more likely.

Whatever does happen on Friday, we all need pray for the Congressman's well-being. He's certainly crossed the rubicon when it comes to dealing with these murderers, and don't forget what happened to Paul Wellstone in 2002 after he wouldn't be strong-armed by Dick Cheney.

Just two days ago, Congressman Ron Paul narrowly dodged what was likely an assassination attempt when his plane needed an emergency landing because of a depressurized cabin. In a twist of irony, but not likely coincidence, Dr. Paul and six other congress members were on their way to vote on The Aviation Safety Enhancement Act of 2008.

Paul's position on the issue is - to say the least - not favorable toward the FAA or the Government. Hmm...
