Area man decides Kucinich not so bad after all

I approve. It probably won't pass, but hey, I guess it's a start.

Eh... Too little, too late. Even if it worked, all that would mean is that we'd have a few months of President Cheney.

We need a solid charge that'll stick to McCain, at this point. Preferably something that'd completely derail his election run. Sadly, I doubt lightning will strike twice with a juicy divorce scandal like happened when Obama was running for Senate in the first place.*

*: For those not in the know, Obama's Senate run was against Jim Ryan, who just happened to be the ex-husband of Jeri Ryan. Yeah, "Seven of Nine" Jeri Ryan. So as the election started to kick up, some reporters wanted a look-see at the Ryans' divorce records--but found they'd been sealed by the court (VERY unusual). Jim Ryan swore to everyone he could find that the records had been sealed because there was testimony in there regarding his autistic son. But then the reporters were able to reverse the seal ruling, and discovered that Jeri Ryan had accused Jim of taking her to sex clubs, and trying to pressure her into participating in the public sex there.**

**: Admittedly, if I were married to 7 of 9, I'd want everyone to have to watch me do her, too. Hell, I'd've invited the press along. Still, a good sex farce would be just the thing to completely undo any of McCain's efforts.

Because he wants to believe that democracy and justice are not a farce after this administration? I mean, George Bush has said bombing Iran is still a possibility, so there's damage for this administration yet to do.

Uh... because Bush shouldn't just be removed from office. For what he's done, he should be in jail for the rest of his life. Of course, there's no way it could happen, but it's what should happen.

Not if Kucinich's articles of impeachment against Cheney get followed up on.

I just mean, good on him for trying, but couldn't he have acted a little earlier?

If you're going to do this thing on principle, do it when he tries to pass a stupid policy, like that tax rebate.

"Not only do we hate this policy, it's also the last straw....we're HUMAN BEINGs, Goddamnit! Our lives have VALUE!....WE'RE AS MAD AS HELL, AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!"

I'm mixed on this.

I say it's overall a good thing, but will it even pass? Doubt it.

Also, like Freemage said...who's going to end up taking the presidency for the remaining months? probably no one really good for the job.

This county has been sick. This country needs healing. This country needs medicine. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that what this country needs, right now… is a Doctor

Paul Farmer for president, then? I could get behind that.
