Seven House Democrats have written Attorney General Eric Holder invoking a list of grievances from radical Islamist groups and asking that Holder meet with representatives from those groups to hear their concerns, the Investigative Project on Terrorism has learned. The grievances include the use of convicted felons as informants in mosques, alleged religious profiling of Somali Muslims in Minnesota and elsewhere and allegations that the FBI is working with foreign governments to question American citizens who are terror suspects. In the letter, the representatives said: "These concerns raise legitimate questions about due process, justice, and equal treatment under the law....

Too bad this particular report didn't include an expert that was railing against the TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program) bailout before it was passed last October. They could have said, "I told you so." Global banks lending money to other countries including "the playground of the Middle East" may have angered Congressmen, but Lisa Myers investigation didn't point out that those critics of how the banks lent money voted for TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program) in the first place. In a segment on March 11 "NBC Nightly News," Myers, NBC's senior investigative correspondent, probed into why three particular banks -...

When it comes to marketing, Dennis Kucinich has a lot to be modest about. In the two presidential races he entered, Kucinich went 0-100 in primaries and caucuses, posting a nice round .000 batting average. But while he’s batting well below the Mendoza line when it came to marketing himself in national politics, Dennis Kucinich apparently feels qualified to serve as marketing director for corporate America. The Early Show aired clips this morning of Kucinich going after Citigroup for having purchased the naming rights for the New York Mets new baseball stadium: CitiField. KUCINICH: They just act as though the...

Lets help those yankees

Democrat Congressman calls for Bush impeachment10.06.2008 15:46 GMT+04:00 /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Democrat Dennis Kucinich introduced a 35-count resolution to impeach U.S. President George W. Bush, claiming that the president set out to deceive the nation, and violated his oath of office with the Iraq war. Addressing the House of Representatives on Monday evening, the Ohio congressman and former presidential candidate accused the administration of a number of offenses, including lying to Congress and the public about its reasons for the 2003 invasion of Iraq. He said Bush "fraudulently" justified the war on Iraq and misled "the American people and members of Congress...

Psst! You wanna know a dirty little secret? Barack Obama is just as kooky as Dennis Kucinich. The only difference between the two besides the fact that Kucinich is a marginalized figure and that Obama is a presumptive presidential nominee is that Kucinich wants to impeach members of the Bush administration for War Crimes while Obama wants to wait until he is president to prosecute officials of the previous administration as war criminals. Huh? You hadn't heard about this? That is because the MSM has covered up that dirty little aspect of the future plans of Mr. Unity. To...

Voters in New Jersey who cast absentee ballots for a candidate who has dropped out of the presidential race can vote again, a judge has ruled. The decision, which was issued on Thursday by Judge Vincent J. Grasso of Superior Court in Ocean County, dealt specifically with the county clerk there but has bearing statewide, according to the attorney general’s office. The ballot for Tuesday’s presidential primary was printed about a month ago, before six of the candidates dropped out of their respective races. Four Democrats — Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr. of Delaware, former Senator John Edwards of North...

Brattleboro Town Officials Harassed Over Bush-Cheney Arrest Petition BRATTLEBORO, Vt. -- Town officials in Brattleboro are being inundated with complaints from across the country about a decision to let voters decide whether arrest warrants should be issued for President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney. Town Clerk Annette Cappy said the "nastiness" of the calls prompted the town office to stop answering its phones Monday. One message from a Minnesota man said he'd like to see terrorists cut off the heads of some Brattleboro officials. Brattleboro police said they will prosecute anyone whose messages cross the line and...

Congressman Dennis Kucinich says he will introduce articles of impeachment against President Bush for deceiving the American nation. The Democrat said Wednesday that he would introduce the articles on January 28, the day US President George W. Bush is scheduled to deliver his State of the Union speech. "We already know the State of the Union," Kucinich said. "It's a lie!" "[The] Bush administration led the nation to war on the basis of erroneous information that it methodically propagated and that culminated in military action against Iraq on March 19, 2003," the 61-year-old congressman quoted the Center for Public Integrity's...

Another long-shot presidential candidate dropped out of the race on Thursday (January 24), when Dennis Kucinich announced that he was abandoning his bid for the White House. The Democratic congressman from Ohio finished last or next to last in most of the early primaries and caucuses. In an interview with The Cleveland Plain Dealer, Kucinich said he would make his official announcement Friday. "I want to continue to serve in Congress," he told the newspaper. Kucinich added that he would not endorse another Democrat in the nomination cycle, even though he had told his Iowa supporters to make Senator Barack...

Talk about a humiliating retraction! Dennis Kucinich called for the impeachment of Bush on the floor of the House yesterday while calling him a liar and soon afterwards is forced to retract himself as you can see in the video above. Evil Elf publicly spanked like a baaaaad boy for all to see! What is really interesting is the DUmmie reaction to the retraction as you can see in this THREAD titled, "Dennis Lays down the Guantlet...The House Quakes and Makes Him Withdraw the 'Offending' remarks!" So let us know watch the DUmmies cheerlead tail between the legs Dennis...

The Candidates are a wonderful suburban family made up of Daddy Thompson, Mommy Hillary, and their school-aged children Edwards, Giuliani, Huckabee, Hunter, Kucinich, McCain, Obama, Paul and Romney. Since the Candidates set a truly commendable example for the average American family, we can only learn from observing one of their typical evenings: Little Obama walks into the kitchen, where Mommy Hillary is busy cooking, Giuliani is playing SimCity on his laptop and Edwards is watching TV. Obama: Mommy can I go play outside with Paul and Kucinich? Mommy Hillary: No honey, it’s almost time for dinner. Besides, I don’t even...

The media hordes are camped out in Iowa in huge numbers to cover the caucus results tonight but they seem to be missing what might really be the most important political story currently in progress. That is the possible defection of Dennis Kucinich later this year to either run as a third party candidate or support such a candidate. I am almost sure this will happen if either Hillary or John Edwards gets the Demo nomination. With Hillary you probably know the reasons. In the case of the Breck Girl it has something to do with a betrayal of...

I won’t go as far as Nathan in actually asking people to vote for Fred Thompson in Iowa, but I will say that I hope they vote for him. While I have a few areas of substantial disagreement with him, I tend to agree with him on Social Security, national security, taxes, budget reform, and the second amendment. To be honest, I like the campaign he’s running. I know I probably won’t get a lot of agreement on that, but let me say it again: I like the campaign that Fred Thompson is running. I like that he has put...

The overriding environmental issue of these times is the warming of the planet. The Democratic hopefuls in the 2008 campaign are fully engaged, calling for large — if still unquantified — national sacrifices and for a transformation in the way the country produces and uses energy. The Republicans do not go much further than conceding that climate change could be a problem and, with the notable exception of John McCain, offer no comprehensive solutions. In 2000, when Al Gore could have made warming a signature issue in his presidential campaign, his advisers persuaded him that it was too complicated and...

MANCHESTER – Republican presidential candidates Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney yesterday agreed to participate in the WMUR/ABC/Facebook presidential debates just three days before the primary Jan. 8. They join fellow Republicans John McCain, Mike Huckabee, Ron Paul, Duncan Hunter and Fred Thompson in officially agreeing to the debates scheduled for Jan. 5 at St. Anselm College. The forums begin at 7 p.m. Bartlett said all the major Democratic and Republican candidates’ campaigns have been involved in discussions about the debates. Democratic presidential candidates who have committed to the debates include Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John Edwards, Chris Dodd, Joseph Biden...

...now have Cynthia McKinney, running for the Green Party Presidential nomination. Marc Cooper is decidedly unimpressed: Here's some news you might use about Barack Obama. Did you know he was, in reality, a government plant, a sort of Manchurian Candidate activated by Big Brother to confuse black people? That’s the political gospel according to the recently self-proclaimed Green Party presidential candidate Cynthia McKinney as she launched her national campaign this week from Houston. When asked by someone in the small audience at Texas Southern University about Obama, McKinney responded: “Look at the Colin Powells, the Condoleezza Rices, the Ward Connerlys......

It has been more than a year since the first group of Democratic hopefuls announced their candidacy for President of the United States. Seventeen debates or forums have been staged, and more than $150 million has been spent on advertising, polling and other campaign expenses. Pundits have pronounced their conventional wisdom, so easily reversed, on who is most "electable," "presidential" or "inevitable." Celebrities and surrogates have rung their appeals, and the deforming machinery of electoral money and math has whirled into place. And yet despite all this, something remarkable, almost magical in its resilience, will take place on January 3....

Today, I present my handy guide to choosing a presidential candidate. I call it the Asteroid Test. Imagine this scenario: A mile-wide asteroid is hurtling toward Earth. Scientists say a collision is imminent and that it will obliterate life on the planet. Now ask yourself this: What would each presidential candidate do? (Disregard my own candidacy, which is strictly a Flip Side phenomenon.) Here's how I see some of our presidential hopefuls reacting when I run through the asteroid exercise: • Joe Biden: He would speak at great length on how to solve the crisis. His plan might not work,...

While doing my DUmmie FUnnies edition today, I found out that Dennis Kucinich was excluded from today's debate in Iowa because he didn't have a COMMERCIAL campaign office space, although he does have one in the home of a supporter. The DUmmies actually made a good point out of the fact that Alan Keyes was included in yesterday's Iowa debate despite the probable fact that he has no campaign office in Iowa in a separate commercial space. I would like somebody out there to confirm this about Alan Keyes. If true, then the Des Moines Register will be exposed as...
