Carl Sheeler, 45, a Democrat, business owner and Marine Veteran, is seeking Lincoln Chafee's seat as well as seeking to unseat "King George" for alleged violations of the US Constitution. Sheeler alleges that, among other things, he has lied to the public and damaged foreign relations and our Democracy.
Providence, RI (PRWEB) February 2, 2006 -- Democrat U.S. Senate candidate, Carl Sheeler, 45, an outspoken, 70’s style Democrat, called on Rhode Island Congressional leaders to join US Representative Conyers (D-MI) in his call for impeachment hearings of President George W. Bush. Sheeler has stated Bush’s infractions are far more egregious than former President Clinton’s and opens the way for China to replace our global lead.
Sheeler issued the following statement:
“It’s time we as ordinary citizens stop talking and start acting to bring the change we want to see in OUR America. Otherwise, how do we tell our kids we watched the President’s State of the Union Address and did nothing? His is a partisan machine of fear and empty promises. His version of the un-Patriot Act reduces our rights and freedoms while claiming to bring Democracy elsewhere in the world. I’m much more optimistic. We can do better. We deserve better. I say honor our troops and declare victory. Start withdrawing our troops from Iraq. Then we can invest in our American communities and improve our domestic security in Rhode Island and elsewhere. Now that is Patriotic.
"I’m seeing many frustrated people who opposed Alito, as I had. But we can act to fix the problems with this country, such as the imbalance of powers and foreign oil reliance. It’s simple really. It’s time to fire the CEO of corrupt politics and this begins with a populist drive of citizens demanding our Congressmen begin Bush impeachment hearings. Otherwise, how do we explain how this post-Katrina, uncompassionate conservative succeeded in weakening our standard of living for most Americans, gutted Medicare, is working to reduce veteran benefits, tried to do in Social Security and is shifting the burden of healthcare costs from big business to our public with 46 million uninsured? How do we explain an amoral President who does not get results and is violating his constitutional oath to faithfully execute his office by his gross incompetence, indifference and disregard for our nation and other nations’ citizens?
"How do we explain the absence of WMD, lack of armor for our troops, the increase of terrorist acts and Osama bin Laden still on the loose, no exit strategy and unnecessary deaths in Iraq for oil? How do we tell our kids this President cut Rhode Island’s funds for domestic security while he increases friction with Latin America and our other allies who buffer our nation’s safety? How do we explain a President who wants to build walls on our border when President Reagan was tearing them down in Europe? How do we explain invoking religion instead of law to support intelligent design while allowing human and civil rights violations to run amok?
"How do we tell our kids this President hijacked our American Dream, by squandering billions of our hard earned dollars, while wealthy corporate and special interests receive excessive tax cuts? How do we tell our kids and grandkids they’ll be repaying an $8 trillion debt, much of it owed to China? How do we explain there’s less money for their education, healthcare and security?
"I’m a small business owner and educator. My wife and I are from modest backgrounds. We’re Marine veterans and have five children between us - ages nine through 19. We’re more afraid for our future under King George than of terrorists. Government is now in conservative hands under a President with an agenda that does not match the wants and wishes of “We The People”.
"James Madison wrote in support of our Constitution a common sense concern that holds true now more than ever. He stated, “The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.”
"The President has repeatedly lied to our Congress and Americans, broke our laws and abused his executive authority with impunity while his Cheney/Rove machine is smearing others. Like most Rhode Islanders we watched with optimism when US Senator Chafee wrote in “W”s” father’s name during the 2004 presidential election, but then he supported Bush’s nomination of Bolton to the U.N. We thought he’d join the Democrats with the urging of our national leadership, but he didn’t. But words don’t fix stagnant wages or make us more competitive with India and China. Words don’t bring our troops home. Acts do, but my attempts at convincing Chafee to disaffiliate from the party that hold his votes political hostage and blocks our nation’s checks and balances have sadly, to date, failed.
"We waited for Democratic Congressmen Patrick Kennedy and James Langevin to protect our democracy and initiate impeachment hearings and we’re still waiting. They’re national chairs on Sheldon Whitehouse’s U.S. Senate Campaign. We stopped waiting after Sheldon followed Matt Brown’s “stay the course in Iraq” in Matt’s US Senate bid announcement, then they both flip-flopped. I’m not waiting. I’m fighting to get our country back, our democracy back. I’m fighting for my family and for yours, too.
"Our Sheeler for U.S. Senate campaign is about working folks who share our convictions by challenging Americans regardless of party affiliation to engage in acts of patriotism, such as our “Be Patriotic Impeach Bush billboard on I-95 scheduled to post Friday. I’m calling on Congressmen Langevin and Kennedy to do the right thing and fight for our democracy by assisting US Representative Conyers (D-MI) to initiate impeachment hearings. High crimes and misdemeanors, the constitutional standards for impeachment and removal from office, are easily proven for a President who states he’s above our laws. Bush must be held accountable for his many clear infractions. Bush’s misconduct stops when we stand united, so our communities take back OUR American values. “Be Patriotic” with peaceful acts against his monarchy of discrimination and hatred. Start by making a contribution and wearing Patriotic Blue on Fridays until the “Impeach Bush” proceedings begin. Start by organizing rallies, write and send emails, blogs and letters, make phone calls and display bumper stickers and signs. Let’s take back OUR dream!”
nuff said! I wonder how much of a brain he has left from all his pot smoking!
Excellent!!! The true lefties need to stand up and be counted. Impeachment 06. Let's see how this plays among the voters!!!!
He appears to have taken up the challenge of the conservatives:
"If that's what you really believe, then run for office on it and see if you win!"
This is an excellent turn of events. If the dems run a radical lefty like this it leaves a window of opportunity to knock off that RINO Chaffee in the primary and yet still elect a conservative Republican in a blue state.
Few things are funnier than a Democrat whining about squandered tax dollars.
Let me guess, he hasn't signed his SF180 either.
Two things popped out in that piece of garbage...
"How do we explain a President that want to to build walls at borders..."
And: "We're more afraid of our future under King George than of terrorists."
Enough said.
Libs are still so mad that their icon Clinton was impeached, they can't stand it that they have spent all their capital on getting "W" impeached and it has not worked. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE NOT BUYING THEIR HATRED.
I swear, the Dems want to put GOP spin doctors out of work by creating better GOP talking points than any spinmeister could ever concoct.
"""""Bush....tried to do in Social Security"""""
What!?
70'S STYLE MOONBAT
This asshat dem can't even spell "high crimes and misdemeanors", can he? Damaging our "democracy"? Too bad we never had one (officially).
What a silly ploy. He can't even use the true name of the act, like an adult. He has to try to make it into a "zinger". Juvenile.
Unfortunately, he'll receive a favorable hearing by many RI inhabitants. Unions are VEY strong in RI, and many of those folks toe the Dem party line. Of course, if the guy gets really stupid and starts acting like a moonbat, the Repubs. might keep that seat! Of course, I hope it's the more conservative candidate, and NOT Lincoln Chafee.
I remember that my basketball coach in high school always said "basketball is like everything else in life, to do something well you must understand and master the basics".
Apparently this guy never met my high school backetball coach.
Yeah, those 70's style democrats were awesome.
good idea....and we should also send money to Cindy Sheehani
Let's make the theme of the 2006 Senate races "Impeach Bush". I'd even send money to help the DNC do it.
I believe this guy is a DUer! He sounds just like one! LOL a real loser!
Keep your fingers crossed that he gets the Dem nomination!
There, I fixed it...
I agree....and I think we should check out all Congressional contests that might be running a moonbat like this...and get them as much publicity as possible...
Two stories need to be on the news each night...how the Iraqis are fighting for a democracy...but, there are terrorists out there wanting us dead...
AND...the Dems want Bush impeached...
Gotta love it!
I agree that we need more openly deranged candidates to run against. But I'd far rather have George Soros spend his (offshore tax-sheltered) funds on Alternative Reality Kooks like this than Freepers who've actually worked for their earnings.
Unbelieveable -- the left makes Chaffee look good in RI. Where do they find these people? Just because someone served in the military doesn't make them a good candidate. DemocRATs seem to be going after former military for their candidates like that is going to get them the win.
All I can say is that the DemocRAT Party is going even more left -- pretty soon they are going to drop off completely.
If you click ont he link..on the right hand side half way down..there is something about an "IMPEACH BUSH " billboard in RI...anyone know if this up now?
EXACTLY! But the Dems don't understand that just look at Clark and Kerry - two BIG TIME losers! And the Dems will throw Clark and Kerry back into the ring again to lose.
I didn't think that anybody could make me support the RINO Chafee, but this clown has done it.
2006 will be a very interestign election year.the moonbat wing of the Dems is pushing hard to capture the party..
If you look at this man's biography on his home page, there's a lot that comes out as a little bit strange. Here's one thing. He's talking about his time as a young man:
"After receiving Senatorial and Congressional nominations to the US Air Force Academy, I broke my wrist and was no longer qualified. There is no shame in success or failure, just another lesson."
Let's think about that for a minute. Presumably, one gets the nominations well before the Academy has to select who gets in. The man breaks his wrist. Given that broken wrists heal, usually in a few months, he should have been fine by the time he had to report to the Air Force Academy. Does the Academy have a rule that if you've ever broken a bone, you don't get in? I can't believe that. Any freepers know about this?
Granted, if he broke it so badly that he had nerve damage, he would have been physically unable to be at the Academy. But a few years later, he was in the Marines, so he can't have been hurt that badly.
My best guess it that he did get the nominations but had second thoughts about attending the Air Force Academy. The broken wrist was his personal excuse. I don't fault someone for changing their mind about attending a service academy at age 18. What is troubling is that he sounds like he's trying to puff up his biography.
It is getting funny to watch. I was thinking back to when I worked for the Air Force and these DemocRATs they are running remind me of the military that other members of the military made fun of starting with the way they wore their uniform.
We had a doctor from the Medical Center getting out of the Air Force in a month when he joined demonstrators outside the gate to keep the people at the base from going to work. Moron Captain in uniform jumped on the hood of a vehicle to stop it from entering the gate and damaged the vehicle. He was arrested, charged, and had to pay back every last dime that the Air Force had used to send him to medical school through their program because they threw him out of the Air Force for his final action that was unbecoming to an officer. He was supposed to be on duty not demonstrating. My boss who was in charge of all the medical facilities in our Command took great pleasure in seeing him busted as he was a royal pain in the neck at the Medical Center. I figure someday the moron will run for office as a DemocRAT. :)
Polls show that at least 85% of registered Democrats agree with Rep. Sheeler's position. It's not surprising that some Repukes want strong candidates like Rep. Sheeler to commit political suicide.
/ for the sarcasm impaired!
Aap aap ahh dap dap!!!!!
It's a religion of peace
It's a religion of peace
It aint Slim W, but this'll gitr done!
Kill A Commie For Mommie
I'll take 100% of registered Republicans, 50% of unaffiliated voters, and 15% of registered Democrats for an electoral sweep, Alex.
"We’re more afraid for our future under King George than of terrorists"
That says it all they need to lay of the crack pipe and get help to join reality.
That's a good guess. He said he went to U. Maryland for a while but didn't graduate from there. My guess is he wasn't a particularly academically motivated individual.
I think it's sad that so many Democrats think that all they have to do is put up a guy who wore the uniform and then assert that the person is qualified to serve in high office. Military experience is a helpful qualification for high political office, but it's hardly the only thing one needs to be qualified.
The fallacy in your argument is that if the % of unaffiliated voters supporting impeachment rises to 60% or 70%, the Repukes are doomed. All we need is a few media outlets allowing facts to be told instead of constant Bush pro-war hysteria, and most unaffiliated voters will be swayed.
His version of the un-Patriot Act reduces our rights and freedoms while claiming to bring Democracy elsewhere in the world.
How well I remember the day Jorge forced the Patriot Act through the House, 0-435, and the Senate, 0-100. What awsome power!
HEH HEH!
or DUmmies!
I believe Sheeler is a Dean Wannabe!
Never seen this guy's name before in the context of this senate race. My guess is he's currently third or worse in the polls...among Democrats.
Perhaps this moonbattery will help him in the primary.
