| Conyers may push for Bush impeachment |
| 2006-02-17 |
While al Qaeda plots attacks on Americans, the political Left in the U.S. plots the impeachment of President Bush. The ranking member on the House Judiciary Committee, Rep. John Conyers, demands a special committee be formed to "investigate impeaching" the president, and today he offers "kudos to my friend Liz Holtzman," a former Democratic congresswoman from New York, for penning The Nation magazine's current cover piece, "The Impeachment of George W. Bush." Ms. Holtzman writes:Mobilizing the nation and Congress in support of investigations and the impeachment of President Bush is a critical task that has already begun, but it must intensify and grow. The American people stopped the Vietnam War--against the wishes of the President--and forced a reluctant Congress to act on the impeachment of President Nixon. And they can do the same with President Bush. The task has three elements: building public and Congressional support, getting Congress to undertake investigations into various aspects of presidential misconduct and changing the party makeup of Congress in the 2006 elections. Drumming up public support means organizing rallies, spearheading letter-writing campaigns to newspapers, organizing petition drives, door-knocking in neighborhoods, handing out leaflets and deploying the full range of How about mobilizing a rally against bin Laden, Zarqawi & company? Nah. They have a bigger fish to fry. A short time ago, Sen. John McCain was asked about the "Bush lied us into war" line peddled by the anti-war crowd, including Ms. Holtzman, he responded: [I]t's a lie to say that the president lied to the American people. Will this crowd stop the "Bush lied" lie? Nah. It's part of their strategy to regain control of the House, so they can go after the president. As the editor of The Nation wrote: There are many reasons why it is crucial that the Democrats regain control of Congress in '06, but consider this one: If they do, there may be articles of impeachment introduced and the estimable John Conyers, who has led the fight to defend our constitution, would become Chair of the House Judiciary Committee. Wouldn't that be a truly just response to the real high crimes and misdemeanors that this lawbreaking president has so clearly committed? Fortunately, to paraphrase David Brooks in the New York Times today, voters are more interested in aggressively fighting the terrorists rather than the American counterterrorists. |

| #16 So why is "'my friend Liz Holtzman,' a former Democratic congresswoman". Did she make it to Senator from NY? Did she join Daschle in Nowheresville? |

| #15 collect all the brain cells involved in this and the best you'd get is a "diminished" intellect with personality disorders. Losers, liars, criminals, and victimization thugs, all of them....did I mention Anti-American punks? |

| #14 I suffered through Al Sharpton speaking at University of Colorado last Monday (very, very painful, but booing the race-baiting bullshit artist was therapeutic, and made me a lot of "friends":). The Bush Lied Lie was the main message of the good |

| #8 Strange but of the 26 co-sponsors at this time Pelosi is not one of them. The Bill just calls for a (re) investigation of 9/11, the road to war, aliens, the new coke, the switch back to coke classic, Niger, Downing Street, back street boys, voting irregularities (Not the ones caused by Democratic operatives) in 2000 2002 2004 ?2006?, why F911 was skunked by the Oscars, CBS Guard Memos, who framed roger rabbit, who killed JFK, and the meaning of life. Since most of these were already investigated by a bi-partisan panel I donÂ’t think this Bill has a snowballs chance of going anywhere. I would encourage them to keep up the good work and wish them well in the upcoming elections. |

| #7 His (Conyers) "Articles of Impeachment" have about 20 co-sponsors after a full three years of campaigning on the issue. Yes they are the same fever swamp people who always support LLL legislation. I only hope that one day I am sitting in my favorite chair and one of these yahoos comes to my door. My puppy love to play with LLLs but I don't let her bite, never know where those LLL have been and what they might have. |

| #6 Given some of the other Democrat tools on the House Judiciary Committee like Maxine Waters, Sheila Jackson-Lee, Linda Sanchez, and Anthony Weiner, Conyers will be able to make noise, but it will never come out of committee. Just another thing for the Democrat / MSM mutual mental masturbation society. |

| #5 So this loser can't even graft Christmas turkeys without getting getting bagged and he's gonna get Bush impeached? Somehow, I don't see Bush drunkenly roaming the White House halls at night talking to Lincoln's picture about how anguished he is over this... |

| #3 "Organizations like AfterDowningStreet.org and ImpeachPac.org, actively working on a campaign for impeachment, are able to draw on a remarkably solid base of public support. Yep, bet that's true. Same 50-100 people show up for each protest. |

| #2 AfterDowningStreet.org? ImpeachPac.org? Well, TreasonousRatBastards.com is available... As is LineTheBastardsUp.com and StartWithKennedy.com and DhimmiPastures.com and RatBastardRest.com and LoyalOppositionMyAss.com... And you know what? So is CW-II.com -- Prolly not for long. These are much more honest and reality-based. |

| #1 Listed as a "major issue" from the Conyers Web Site. The growth of "toxic mold" is becoming a problem of monumental proportions. Exposure to mold growth in residential, public and commercial buildings is believed to have caused serious medical conditions which include bleeding lungs, digestive problems, hair loss, nausea, loss of memory, reduced cognitive skills, and death. Property damage from mold growth has destroyed millions of dollars in real estate and forced homeowners to the curb. We cannot eliminate mold. However, there are steps that can be taken to minimize the dangers of indoor mold growth. I'm squarely behine representative Conyers on this one. Here in the South, monuments in our CSA veteran cemeteries suffer greatly from this growth. I hope he can remedy it soon. |
