POPSSheehan challenges Pelosi for House seat Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill said that Pelosi, too, is frustrated with the ongoing war in Iraq but believes that impeachment would be divisive and distract Congress from improving the lives of working families. WTF? If we had impeached the frigggin' criminals, the war could be over!

POPSWexler Pushing for Impeachment While Praising Pelosi see site for video When? Millions of Americans have been calling for impeachment for a long time, Rep. Wexler and I admire you for pushing the issue in the HR....BUT-- I wonder why you praise Speaker Pelosi so highly since she is the person who took impeachment off the table from the start of the movement to take these criminals in the WH down to where they belong--under oath and before a jury of their peers. Get going! Ms. Pelosi shouldn't have to get her butt kissed to do her job defending the Constitution!

POPSDemocrats: Impeach, or Face Humiliation in November Aside from maintaining the sanctity of the Constitution—and holding accountable a criminal Administration—three immediate benefits will accrue: • Exposing and proving the truth will lift the veil of fear the Bush Administration has imposed. • The proven fraudulence of the war will mandate its immediate termination. • John McCain’s candidacy will be destroyed. No one has been a more enthusiastic champion for George Bush’s ”war on terror” than Senator McCain. When it is displayed as appalling deceit, Mr. McCain will be shown a willing accomplice—or a tragic fool—and wholly unfit to be president. But time is short, and the Democratic party is engaged in a civil war. With their demonstrated genius for losing elections, Mr. McCain might well stroll to the presidency. Unless he is proven to be unfit. Democrats, impeach. Or expect to be humiliated.

POPSChoosing to Let Bush Continue Violating Laws
Correcting power-abuse really has no meaning because power is what it's all about. They all abuse it. So what? It's just politics. We both agreed that according to what he was telling me, it boils down to the following: A sitting President is not subject to the law as long as he remains in office. He can CONTINUE to break laws as long as he remains in office. He can only be removed DURING his term of office (and therefore become subject to the law) through impeachment. Only Congress can impeach, and it's solely up to their DISCRETION. So, as long as Congress successfully blocks the impeachment process, they are willfully allowing the President to remain completely outside the law, condoning that principle, and, in effect, shielding him from being removed from office so that he will be subject to the law and can be prosecuted. Congress has no OBLIGATION to intervene. The aide seemed not the least bit disturbed by the gravity or import of my conclusions. It is, after all, just

POPSKucinich goes back to HR
DK not supporting another empty suit speaks volumes. I wish him the best fightin the good fight amongst the snakes in the HR... from rev. nick: If there is one thing that is obvious, it is that Dennis Kucinich was systematically removed from this election. The corporate media made sure that his voice would not be heard. The Democratic Party excluded him as well. This was not happenchance, this was intentional. Why? Because he represents the people, not corporations. He stands for what nearly every single one of us wants to see accomplished in this country: the restoration of the constitution, worker rights, universal health care. If the citizens actually voted for their own interests, Kucinich would be a true threat to those in power and it would be a major step in reclaiming our democracy. The battle to restore integrity to our republic is a big one. Kucinich is a David before an plutocratic Goliath, and yet the citizens of this country vote for the giant because it can win.

POPSImpeachment? Why not? I'll tell you why! AHHH, HELL! *SLAPS OWN HEAD* I can’t be the first to think this–The reason the Dem Leadership doesn’t want to Impeach is that they really WANT TO KEEP THE EXECUTIVE POWERS FOR THE NEXT PRESIDENT, most likely a Democrat! With a powerful corporate puppet in the WH, the corporate bosses can keep the stranglehold on the people in perpetuity, for Beevis and Butthead sake!!!

POPSFECKLESS DEMS ROLL OVER AGAIN Great blog--read it all please... Dennis is the only Democrat who is a true statesman. He is principled and with integrity. The Democratic leadership under Pelosi and Hoyer do not represent you. They represent their corporate masters.
