| Kerry Touts Bush Impeachment Memo | |||
| 2005-06-03 | |||
Failed presidential candidate John Kerry said Thursday that he intends to confront Congress with a document touted by critics of President Bush as evidence that he committed impeachable crimes by falsifying evidence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. "When I go back [to Washington] on Monday, I am going to raise the issue," Kerry said, referring to the Downing Street Memo in an interview with Massachusetts' Standard Times newspaper. "I think it's a stunning, unbelievably simple and understandable statement of the truth and a profoundly important document that raises stunning issues here at home," the top Democrat added.
Citing the Downing Street Memo, former presidential candidate Ralph Nader called for an impeachment investigation on Tuesday in an op-ed piece published by the Boston Globe. "It is time for Congress to investigate the illegal Iraq war as we move toward the third year of the endless quagmire that many security experts believe jeopardizes US safety by recruiting and training more terrorists," wrote Nader with co-author Kevin Zeese. "A Resolution of Impeachment would be a first step." The British memo, however, contains no quotes from either Bush or Blair, and is notably slim on evidence implicating Bush in a WMD cover-up.

| #20 aka will someone please attack and nuke Dubya and America so that Hillary can be POTUS! Good Clintonians of the USSA and the People's Soviet Waffen SS demand to let Demi Moore tell Navy SEALS how to fight. |

| #19 Tbbor, he signed the 180. The thing is, he didn't release his records to a news outlet or other form o0f media but to, wait for it, The United States Navy. Now the Navy needs another form signed by him to release the records to the public. Talk about a real peace of shit! Kerry is a failed politician, soldier, and lawyer and all he has left is hatred and bile. He says the Democrats need to build a PR machine like the Republicans so their "message" can get out better. What he and the other Doinks don't understand is their message got through loud and clear but the American people rejected it. |

| #13 Good point on the definition of 'illegal', RC - perfect illustration. Thanks! |

| #12 Can we accuse Kerry of "trying to undo the election" and "staging a constitutional coup?" Sauce, goose, gander, y'know? |

| #11 I think the left has a different definition of "illegal". I suspect they use it to mean "that which [the left] disapproves of". That's why you have "the illegal Iraq war" and "undocumented immigrants" instead of "illegal aliens". |

| #6 Wow, and I was beginning to worry that the Democrats were going to stay fixated on past issues, replaying the 2000 election and giving in to all sorts of paranoid moonbat conspiracy theories. With this forward thinking sort of approach, I think our friends are going to mount a strong, visionary challenge in 2008. |

| #2 Doesn't anyone ever ask Kerry, "if Bush 'fixed' the evidence, why did Clinton believe it?" Or is this another one of those left-wing causality inversion things? |
