"Dirty pool," says Kerry
Kucinich of Ohio Launches
Impeachment Bill in House
Several House Republicans join effort,
say shame is "too much to carry"
WASHINGTON - The United States House of Representatives was
thrown into a flurry of scrambled activity today when Rep. Dennis
Kucinich (D-Ohio) introduced a bill that would begin the impeachment
of President George W. Bush. He was joined by three other Democrats
and three Republicans.
"Although I've been busy on the campaign trail for many
months," Kucinich said at a press conference following the filing
of the bill, "I've been in touch with the House enough to know
that there is a swelling of shame on both sides of the aisle because
of the nasty, nasty role the United States has been playing
internationally under this depraved administration. It has got to
stop."
Kucinich cited the haphazard voting mechanisms in use around the
country as one element of his decision to impeach the President.
"We've become a nation of tattered ballots and dangling
chads and although we have more computer programmers than any other
nation, we have no way to inspect and verify the nation's
electronic balloting systems. This is a grave danger to our elections
and thus, our democracy," Kucinich said.
"We have no way to inspect these electronic vote counting
machines because the corporations that have developed the machines
will not allow public scrutiny of them. They get away with this
because President Bush is in collusion with them. As we saw in the
last election, Bush was the only benefactor of the failure of the
counting mechanisms. Democracy and the American people were the
losers."
Kucinich said his experience on the campaign trail showed him
that "clearly the big media, the corporations and the
administration are in cahoots on many dangerous levels.
"We've become a nation under siege. We've become a
Congress under siege. We act out of fear and not vision. We've
become this way because it has been designed that way by President
Bush, his father before him, and by the corporations that own
them."
Kucinich did not leave his own Democratic fellows without
blame.
"For the most part," he said, "my fellow congresspersons
are in the same scramble for the same money that has corrupted Bush
and his cronies. This has got to stop. November is too late. We must
impeach the President now. We have no choice. None."
