AP: Nader Calls for Bush to Be Impeached

Independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader called Tuesday for President Bush to be impeached for “deceiving the American people night after night after night” about U.S. involvement in Iraq.

“When you plunge our country into war on a platform of fabrications and deceptions, and you bring back thousands of American soldiers who are sick, injured or dead, and that war is unconstitutionally authorized to begin with, Mr. Bush’s behavior qualifies for the high crimes and misdemeanor impeachment clause of the Constitution,” the 2000 Green Party presidential nominee said to applause from about 200 students at Columbia College Chicago.

Nader said President Clinton was impeached for “far less of an offense.”

“Lying under oath is not a trivial offense, but it cannot compare with deceiving the American people night after night after night on national television, staging untruths and rejecting the advice of his advisers,” he said.

Yes! By all means bring the articles of impeachment as quickly as you can! At last, somebody will have to present evidence that the administration lied about WMD and Iraq, rather than just spewing unsubstantiated crap like that fat drunken murderer Ted Kennedy and his puppet candidate, John Kerry. Put up and impeach Bush or apologize for distracting the country from fighting the war on terror and preventing the next terrorist attack.
