Dear Editor:
On Tuesday, April 24th, Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) introduced Articles of Impeachment against Vice President Dick Cheney.
Americans across the country should be breathing a sigh of relief. Finally, someone had the guts to say what many Americans have been thinking for the past six years: this administration is corrupt.
Is there one thing that they have touched that they haven’t screwed up? Let me count the scandals for you:
1. Lobbying scandal involving Jack Abramoff 2. Halliburton’s no-bid contracts and overcharges 3. Diversion of Afghanistan war funds to Iraq 4. Medicare scandal 5. The outing of CIA agent Valerie Plame 6. Abu Ghraib prison torture 7. Katrina 8. Warrantless spying on the American people 9. Prosecutors scandal 10. Politicizing government agencies (Hatch Act) 11. Walter Reed/VA scandal
This list, unfortunately, is not complete. Nor does it include the biggest scandal of all: the lies we were told to get us into a pre-emptive war with Iraq and the botched manner in which this war has been conducted. And, remember, these scandals are just the “tip of the iceberg.” Now that the Democrats have regained control over the Congress, I am sure that more will be uncovered.
Thank God for people like Dennis Kucinich, who are not afraid to say what the American people have been thinking; who give voice to the best interests of this great nation: Enough is enough. Get these incompetent, arrogant, lying, cheating scoundrels out of our government. Impeach.
