ViceZilla’s Views

Ralph Nader was giving a speech on October 11 during a fundraiser for DemocracyRising. During the speech he tells of Democratic Congressman John Olver explain why Bush cannot be impeached.

Olver explains that if impeachment proceedings were started against Bush, he believes that Bush would begin a military attack against Iran then declare martial law.

Could this just be paranoia on the part of Congress, or is it something that could truly happen?

As Nader says, “If this is true, it’s a lot worse than we thought!”

Decide for yourself.

Two months after insisting that they would roll back broad eavesdropping powers won by the Bush administration, Democrats in Congress appear ready to make concessions that could extend some crucial powers given to the National Security Agency.

Administration officials say they are confident they will win approval of the broadened authority that they secured temporarily in August as Congress rushed toward recess. Some Democratic officials concede that they may not come up with enough votes to stop approval.

Although willing to oppose the White House on the Iraq war, they remain nervous that they will be called soft on terrorism if they insist on strict curbs on gathering intelligence.

A Democratic bill to be proposed on Tuesday in the House would maintain for several years the type of broad, blanket authority for N.S.A. eavesdropping that the administration secured in August for six months.

Remember the Constitution of the United States, the supreme law? Well say goodbye to it, because everyday for the past seven years it has been getting ripped to shreds. The Constitution of the United States of America lies bleeding on the floor.

Thanks to Bush, Cheney, and their stooge Abu they have managed to totally re-write Fourth Amendment, and nobody really seems to give a shit!

I for one am sick and tired of hearing the Democrats in Congress whine and moan that “they can’t get enough votes to stop approval” for bills that compromise the Constitution!

How about Article 2, Section 4 of the Constitution regarding Impeachment?
The article states:

The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

Is it only we the sheeple that seem to think that President Bush and Vice President Cheney are guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors?

And what about Congress and the Senate, are they not guilty of dereliction of duty by letting Bush, Cheney, and former AG Gonzales get away with destroying the Constitution for their own political gain and or enjoyment?

For the love of God, President Clinton got impeached because of a blow job! Are the travesties Bush and Cheney are committing on the laws of this land not far more serious?

If the members of Congress don’t, not can’t, but don”t stop the impending permanent shredding of the Fourth Amendment, it will be the end of what we once called, “the home of the free.”

This was once the law of the land. Is it gone forever?

The time was 1992, Dick Cheney was Secretary of Defense and he was asked why the US didn’t go after Saddam after the liberation of Kuwait. His response was a good one; it was also the correct one. So what happened to make him change his mind?

1: Pacemaker malfunction? Unlikely
2: Drugs, either starting or stopping? Maybe
3:Power? Definitely
4:Corruption? Absolutely

This video is another powerful example why this man needs to be impeached NOW!

Apparently, the battery in his heart defibrillator is nearing it’s useful life and needs to be replaced.

I don’t mean to be poking fun at a person’s medical condition, but what do you think the chances are of instead of replacing it with the Energizer Bunny brand they install a cheap “Wal-Mart” special imported from China? You know something not quite up to snuff, which would hopefully give Cheney a “kinder, gentler” heart.

WTF? Is congress in need of a spine, or does Cheney have some dirt on the Democrats in Congress? I mean really!

Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, the No. 2 Democrat in the Senate and the author of a bill funding the White House budget and other agencies, had refused to fund the vice president’s $4.8 million budget, arguing that Cheney’s office is refusing to comply with parts of an executive order governing its handling of classified information.

Senator Ben Nelson, a Nebraska Democrat, for some unknown reason switched his position from a subcommittee vote last Tuesday! In two days he went from a yea, to a nay! Interesting.

The Democrats let another opportunity pass by to put the screws to Cheney by losing the vote 15-14! Nice work Nelson.

I hope your constituents make a note of your spinelessness and remember it come Election Day!
