Woodamnwhoo! The only man in government with balls!
Article I
The Vice President of the United States, Richard B. Cheney, has purposely manipulated the intelligence process to deceive the citizens and Congress of the United States by fabricating a threat of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction to justify the use of the U.S. Armed Forces against the nation of Iraq in a manner damaging to our national security interests.

Article II
The Vice President of the United States, Richard B. Cheney, has purposely manipulated the intelligence process to deceive the citizens and Congress of the United States about an alleged relationship between Iraq and al Qaeda in order to justify the use of the U.S. Armed Forces against the nation of Iraq in a manner damaging to our national security interests.

Article III
In his conduce while Vice President of the United States, Richard B. Cheney, in violation of his constitutional oath to faithfully execute the office of Vice President of the United States and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, has openly threatened aggression against the Republic of Iran absent any real threat to the United States, and done so with the United States' proven capability to carry out such threats, thus undermining the national security of the United States.

Wooooodamnwhoo! Beautiful! Dennis I love you!

The others leave me rather "blah."

6. Dennis Deserves To Be President
Dennis deserves to be the next President of the United States.

He courageously speaks the TRUTH.

And that is so refreshing. So very, very refreshing.

20. Exactly!
He knows how to lead.

He is a person of principles.

And he has the courage to act on his principles -- and to encourage others to follow him.

The marks of a great person -- and a great PRESIDENT.

47. And it is BECAUSE
of his true, human values, he will never make it. He is not sly, dishonest, or unhonorable enough for the job. Sad but true.

not as if he's hanging out, just writing Articles of Impeachment on the street corner.

Dennis is right.....Now let us do what is right, call Pelosi, call Reid, call your local Reps and ask that they stand in defense of the Constitution. Our country needs to send a message to the world in order to regain some semblence of legitimacy.

19. I have already sent him one check. I am sending another in the
morning! And you know what? I don't even give a goddamn if the other Democrats in congress are too weak-kneed and lily-livered to back him up. Dennis has drawn the line in the sand, if the other Democrats are too cowardly to step over to freedom, so be it!

I support Dennis Kucinich and I am proud of him!

K&R!!

23. Speaking of politicians, Dennis is one in a million.
And he is asking us to be one in a million as well. Can you spare him $50? All he needs is a million people to send him that amount, and he will have a real shot at winning. Please help make it happen.
Peace on Earth, to infinity and beyond!

32. What's really brave about this is that he is still an active elected official.
Most wait until they are a "former" congressman, or "former" senator, or "former" committee chairman.

Kucinich has now really made me think about changing over my primary vote to him.

41. agreed
crude, meaningless expression.

It does not take "big ones" to be brave, nor to be belligerent. I guess it stems from animal husbandry, where it has been known since prehistory that castrating bulls, stallions, etc. makes them more manageable (ie, less "typically male")

We need an good slang expression to replace it though.

I did a thesaurus search and found it cross-referenced by

audacity, guts, nerve, spirit, valor, and tenacity.

none of those do it for me. I guess guts is the best of the lot.


I tried "courage" and got:

adventuresomeness, adventurousness, audaciousness, audacity, backbone, bravery, bravura, daring, dash, dauntlessness, derring-do, determination, endurance, enterprise, fearlessness, firmness, fortitude, gallantry, gameness, grit, guts, hardihood, heroism, intrepidity, lion-heartedness, manliness, mettle, nerve, pluck, pluckiness, power, prowess, pugnacity, rashness, recklessness, resoluteness, resolution, spirit, spunk, temerity, tenacity, valor, valorousness, venturesomeness, élan

aggressiveness, aplomb, arrogance, assuredness, audacity, boldness, bravery, certainty, certitude, conviction, coolness, courage, effrontery, faith, firmness, impudence, nerve, poise, positiveness, presumption, security, self-confidence, self-reliance, sureness, surety, temerity, trust

courage, determination, firmness, fortitude, grit, guts, hardihood, heart, intestinal fortitude*, mettle, moral fiber, nerve, pluck, resolution, resolve, spunk, stamina, steadfastness, tenacity, toughness, will, willpower



"spunk" and "grit" seem like the only ones that would come close, and they don't have the same ring to them either. Maybe we just have to keep it.

ok, back to the real issues... (thanks for the opportunity to do something completely pointless for a few minutes)

42. Maybe it's 'cause I'm a southern redneck, but I always liked
GRITS!!

Of course, that might not resonate with two-thirds of the nation. "Glad someone in Congress has GRITS!" :rofl:

37. Abuse of a federal agency (CIA) was a Nixon Impeachment charge
Edited on Wed Apr-25-07 12:24 PM by EVDebs
Nixon's articles of impeachment
http://watergate.info/impeachment/impeachment-articles.shtml

""It's all part of a growing ongoing investigation into corruption in defense and intelligence contracts, which already has sent former Rep. Randy “Duke” Cunningham to prison and, legal sources say, may threaten others in Congress and the CIA.""

www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12634250/

This is what the 'rogues' in the CIA will again try to cover up. Again, the blowback will be a hurricane. Waxman is subpoenaing the WH re WZM Inc contract...

We're almost there DUers !

39. Yeah, that's Kucinich. No accomplishments, but nice, pretty symbolism
We've done this to every Republican since Nixon, at least. Henry B. Gonzales introduced impeachment articles of Reagan and Bush Daddy. I loved Gonzales. I like Kucinich, mostly, but this is just symbolism. I don't see why anyone's getting excited. He didn't do it because he had "balls"--they all have balls--he did it to get attention because he doesn't really understand how to campaign and earn votes the old fashioned way.

Now, if this goes anywhere, I'll hoist a pint to DJ. I like the guy. I just don't see any history of achievement or accomplishment of White House caliber with him. Just pretty words. Those haven't helped much so far, although they do make me smile from time to time.
