Hotline ^

MA. Sen. John Kerry said last night that if Dems retake the House, there's a "solid case" to bring "articles of impeachment" against President Bush for allegedly misleading the country about pre-war intelligence, according to several Dems who attended.

Kerry was speaking at a holiday party for alumni of his WH '04 bid.

About 100 campaign vets gathered at Finn McCool's bar in D.C. to hear him. In a short speech, Kerry praised Dems who were working on Senate and House campaigns, and then said, according to one listener: "If we take back the House, there's a solid case to bring articles of impeachment against this president."

Well, someone should call him on this. You think the MSM will?

I hope he keeps flapping his gums. More votes for us on election day! Maybe we can get Dean and Pelosi to chime in also.

Then Kerry and his fellow socialists all had the same intel, they need to be impeached also. Kerry is puss sore on a rotting pig's carcass.

"If" is a real big word.

"If we take back the House, there's a solid case to bring articles of impeachment against this president."

If your aunt had b*lls, she'd be your uncle
If frogs had wings, they wouldn't hop
If a Democrat worked for a living, he'd be a Republican
If if's and but's were candy and nuts, every day would be Christmas

Guess Kerry will now be the darling of the Impeach Bush Cult on FR.

White Flag Defeat & Retreat Democrats will not impeach The President and will lose seats in 06 and lose the presidential election 08.

I predict more Post Election Trauma for libs for some time to come the way they act.

It is important to understand that the Rats are definitely going to attempt an impeachment if they can get the House back (I doubt it.) More important is that this goes to show how the Rats are now definitely determined to use purge tactics continually in domestic politics. If they can ever get control of the government again they are going to do whatever they have to, and I mean that literally, to see that they hold on to power permanently. There is a real potential either for a quasi-dictatorship emerging or a true civil war in the not distant future.



Kerry Comm. Dir. David Wade, in an email, said his boss was joking. [MARC AMBINDER]


Wade: "Is it really a story that, with a smile on his face and to ensuing laughter, at a Christmas party for his hardest working troops who are still working to win in 2006, a Democrat joked about why these diehard Democrats needed to keep dreaming of a Democratic Congress? Impeachment jokes in Washington are as old as Don Rumsfeld and as funny as Dick Cheney is gruff. Only the truly humorless would say bah humbug to the rarest of partisan red meat." Wade said Kerry often asks this question: "How are the same Republicans who tried to impeach a President over whether he misled a nation about an affair going to pretend it does not matter if the Administration intentionally misled the country into war?" More Wade: "Good luck finding a Democrat in America who disagrees..."

But several in Kerry's audience said the comment made them uncomfortable, in part because they believed the press would discover what Kerry said and twist its context. In keeping with Kerry's wishes, several attendees, while acknowledging what he said, declined to comment when asked about the remarks.

Dem strategists know that many in their base might favor impeachment. But they do not want the party to appear hyper-partisan, especially when Cong. approval ratings struggle to reach 30 percent. Most Dem strategists believe that Americans would not stomach a second drawn-out, polarizing impeachment trial in the span of ten years. Others do not believe Bush deserves to be impeached. Dem leaders have cautioned colleagues not to use the word "impeachment" when speaking to base crowds.

An Impeach PAC, led by Democrats.com's Bob Fertik, has raised about $40,000 since November and promises to spend it in competitive races. And at least three national polling firms, Research 2000, Zogby and Rasmussen, have included the impeachment question on surveys

I link Kerry's statements to his stupidity.
