I have to give mad props to Kucinich for this.

Rep. Dennis Kucinich says he is so concerned about what he sees as the Bush administration's push for a war with Iran that he is considering using a parliamentary measure to force the House of Representatives to vote on impeaching Vice President Dick Cheney.

"We're preparing for another war, and they're going to destroy America," the Ohio Democrat said Thursday on the Ed Schultz show. "We have a government in place right now that has to be challenged. I'm seriously thinking about calling a privileged resolution on impeachment of the vice president and forcing a vote on the floor of the House."

Kucinich is dead right on this issue. Let's face it, neither Cheney or Bush has changed one iota of their plans despite an overwhelming negative response to the Iraq war and domestic spying, among other policy decisions.

I am completely on board with impeachment proceedings going forward. It won't happen, but at least we get a dialogue started in the Senate. Maybe it fails this time, but if the administration continues its suicidal foreign policies it will not fail the next time.

Somebody needs to start throwing rocks at Goliath's forehead.

    Kucinich has been throwing rocks all along. People don't know it because our corporate media ignores him and those who have heard of him throw up their hands in surrender and say "he can't win." What total crap.
    If the Democrats nominate another corporate tool (any of those running except Kucinich and Gravel) they are traitors to the American people.
