Kerry's Impeachment Crack Not Funny, Republicans Say

People are more and more supportive of impeachment. Out of touch? No, just floating a trial balloon I think

the relevant question should be, Does Senator Kerry's publicizing the remark help or hurt that objective.

In any discussion of impeachment, the inability to call up charges is directly related to our lack of a majority in the House. Oh, and kerry didn't publicize this remark. It is second hand reporting from a private party. I think the question should be, why two supposed Democrats attending a "thank you" party would be so quick to contact the media.

eom

We need to get this done, and soon. I'm sure Kerry was (for a second) honestly expressing his opinion. Of course, then he backpedaled. Until the winds blow that way again. Or not. or...

what a crock these guys are!

high crimes and misdemeanors have been committed, not to mention treason. IMHO

The republican party needs to pay for this conspiracy to committ treason against the people.
It is a small conspiracy, and with fewer than 50 trials, the greatest threat to roman
civilization since the sacking of rome, will be put down.

He's an Unconstitutional pResident and needs to be impeached.

huh? (with sarcasm turned way on)

and it isn't ok to impeach Bush for lying about the case for war in Iraq?

lying about the cost of the medicare bill, going around congress to transfer funds out of Afghanistan and into Iraq, spying on americans without a warrant, lying about the air quality in NYC after 911, billions of dollars missing in Iraq (White water was about $200,000), etc....I can go on and on!

trivial compared EVERYTHING this admin does. To think congress spent millions of dollars to investigate a land deal the President did while he was a Governor that grew and grew, and ignores industry setting policy, messing with science to prove your point, and lying about the cost of legislation or the reasons for war seem far more worthy of official investigation.

If the Bush admin shows anything it shows that the Republican congresss is the most partisan in history, and more than willing to sell out their constituents to the admin and the wealthy elite.

Sounds like someone woke up a little bit grumpy today. But then again, weren't our troops going to be greeted in Iraq as liberators?!? Seems like I heard someone in the WH mention that once or twice...

and don't forget the flowers and candy!

Impeach away.

:thumbsup:

I wish Kerry or someone could get him impeached without having to wait for a new congress. I'm also dreaming of a white Christmas. lol

counted...

in regard to the statement "With his impeachment advocacy last night, John Kerry once again showed how out of touch he is with American people and how in step he is with the far left fringes of the Democrat party," said RNC Communications Director Brian Jones in a statement."

<snip>By a margin of 50% to 44%, Americans want Congress to consider impeaching President Bush if he lied about the war in Iraq, according to a new poll commissioned by AfterDowningStreet.org, a grassroots coalition that supports a Congressional investigation of President Bush's decision to invade Iraq in 2003.</snip>

We already had a poll that is very much in support of John Kerry's call for impeachment. That was not a joke. The founders gave congress the power of impeachment for a president who is caught lying for money,killing people for greed...not sleeping with an intern. The republicans are a joke. Impeachment is the DUTY of congress under the constitution.

Let's have another poll if they'd like...

They impeach lying presidents, don't they?

:evilgrin:
rocknation

Ha ha ha :rofl: ha ha ha ha :spray: ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha :rofl: ha ha ha ha :spray: ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha :rofl: ha ha ha ha :spray: ha ha ha ha.

Or, as an alternative response, PERHAPS YOU SHOULD TAKE HIM FUCKING SERIOUSLY, YOU JACKASS MORANS!

made a statement of fact ("Look, the Emperor hasn't any clothes..."), and then STOOD behind it?
No denials; "he was only kidding", that sort of thing....I think he'd be surprised at how many Americans are waiting to jump in right behind him, if he only would.

:cry: Oh dear. :sarcasm:

listening to someone say good stuff and then hamstring it.
One of these days kerry will say something and then actually stand behind it longer than half a news day.

grrrrr

yeah yeah yeah I know dogpile me.
I'm just frustrated with the man.

I think Kerry's a little off here. If he believes Bush misled the country then why is he only "joking" about impeachment. This is a deadly serious matter, there is nothing funny about it. I didnt hear Kerry's speech. Maybe, his communications director only backpedaled off a "serious" statement. If so, it's also problematic, Kerry should stick to his guns.

just talking at a party.

But really, who is out of touch with reality here? Kerry "in step with the far left"? What a joke. Kerry even in step w/ the left? Also a joke.

even when the man is right he can't stick to his guns!!! Was he born without a spine, or was it surgically removed?

The closest was to say that he was wrong to have trusted Bush and that knowing how deceitful they were he absolutely wouldn't vote as he did on the IWR.

He didn't appologize for saying they were the biggest group of crooks and liars. In the recent flap, he simply has put the comment about the US soldiers terrorizing kids into context, saying that everyone knew what he was saying and he had been talking about that problem for a while and that he was recommending the same thing as some people in the military.

Even last year, he said he was proud of his antiwar stand in the 70s. The closest he came was to say that at 60, he would perhaps have toned the language down - because he understands that it hurt some people he never meant to hurt.

i'm not kidding.

Literally deadly. Every day that Bush is in office more and more people die for no good reason.

Should be tuned out immediately. The phrase is used as a slur.

I hate it when people call us the "Democrat" party.

We are "Democrats" who are a part of the "Democratic" party.

I correct anyone who says it wrong.

Obviously Kerry is taking orders from Osama if he is saying stuff like that on the eve of the Iraqi elections.

Republicans can't take the heat

The republicans live on another planet. Oh and I hate when they say the "democrat party." They know it's democratic party but they like to poke you in the eye. Ugh! Bastards.

Was just fucking hilarious. Although based just on that Bush needs to be impeached, I don't think Kerry has the stones to lead one. John Murtha might though...

I would love Kerry as one of the "prosecutors" in the Senate though.

Now impeach his ass!

F*%$ em if they can't take a joke. I guess Conyers was answering his office phone "House Impeachment Committee" a year or so ago. A Detroit reporter called him and got that answer. It was a joke. Duh.

Not that I have any problem with an impeachment of Bush for lying about Iraq, among so many other things.

I'll bet "Good Ol Boy" Bush and his ss-spys, have made some real artsy and craftsy porn flix, through Jane Q Public's keyhole.

Kerry should scream "impeach bush" to the top of his lungs.

YEARS ago! If the RW bastards were doing the job they were elected to do, his ass would be in PRISON. Can you IMAGINE what would have happened to Clinton had he pulled 1/4 of the things that piece of shit has? He would have been hung by his fingernails by now!

IMPEACH THE ASSHOLE.......NOW!

And I've never been more optimistic. I lost it totally last week. And the last five years will be nearly impossible for the world to recover from.

You can't get a pardon from the Hague.

But not as funny as the GOP response.

Bwahahahahahaha!

peace.

Iraqi elections over, and IT'S IMPEACHMENT TIME!

Impeachment is a serious business.

I can see why they think its not funny, because its not

In fact this is one of the blackest periods of our history, and as we look back, we will see just how wretched this administration is. It is not funny, it is so sad, and so pathetic...

...of what 2007 is going to bring. (Diebold willing)

impeachment or shut up.

and wasn't even given in public. This was taken out of context, second hand and was at a private function. Impeachment is implemented in the House. You seem so serious about this issue so why not contact your Congressional representatives and ask them to begin proceedings?

with the far left fringes of the Democrats...

fuck them sideways with a rusty chainsaw dipped in anthrax.

And their little dog too.

That's what Confound W says.

Not for affairs, but for actual crimes in the discharging of POTUS duties. Such as treason. Lying to Congress. Lying to everyone and getting people killed for profit.
No joke here.

:rofl:

Send him off to the Hague as a peace offering to the rest of the World. He's a fuck up asshole that needs an atitude adjustment, behind bars or course...

It is not a joke. It is reality and he should stand by his words.

I am so sick of this shit from Dems. Say something and immediately back down when the pugs get pissed and start their bitching and whining. That seems to be the way we do it. What the hell are they so scared of?

It would be refreshing to see a dem stand up for what he says once and a while.

"Not under the Couch".

start dropping like flies in the 2006 elections.

and whatever "spin" may have been put on it, I doubt JK was kidding when he said it.

...for Kerry's cute comment to make it into the mainstream press (remember, he coyly winked and said, "I didn't say that") negates the whole idea, and more importantly, the idea that perhaps 1/3 of American voters would like to see Bunnypants back in Crawford on an extended vacation.

It gives the press, the Repubs, etc. the total ability to say, "John Kerry, loser of a presidential election to G.W. Bush. suggested today that perhaps he could be impeached..."

Yeah, that does our side a lot of good. The loser of 2004, making impeachment remarks to a small bunch of his last sycophants. Uh-huh, that will turn LOTS of heads our way.

No Democrat in serious contention for 2008 would be stupid enough to mouth a thought like that where it could possibly be quoted in the mainstream. Otherwise, Clark, Edwards, Warner, etc. would already be saying it.

Joe Average American Voter does not like talk of impeachment; it makes Joe Average American Voter extremely nervous to think about deposing the leader of America.

Yeah, yeah, flame me. I couldn't care less. I want the Republicans out of office, and Kerry being cutesy with impeachment talk ain't gonna get us votes. He had his chance, and it galls me that he speaks now, instead of speaking last November.

he criminal actions of this administration as well as the impeachable behavior of ** are NO laughing matter.

Impeachment should be treated seriously and done swiftly

to remain in office - ESPECIALLY after his negligence after 911 and all his latest CRIMES, not the least is his ILLEGAL WAR OF CHOICE BASED ON LIES!

with a complicit media doing 24/7 on Clinton's glorious BJ it was impeach, impeach--but when Sauron, I mean Bush lies us into a war that some say he planned to do before he was even selected, derelict of duty on 9/11 and then to use 9/11 to bully in his policies--secret energy meetings, corrupt lobbying, outing Plame (the whole network), it's business as usual. Apparently, only in America is a BJ more important than continually screwing the American people.

as usual it's attack the messenger and then cry for mommy's help.

What a bunch of pansy-assed pussies!!!!

:wtf:

why was this a joke? He should have been dead serious.
