NEWFANE, Vt. (AP) -- A small town is urging Vermont's only U.S. congressman to file articles of impeachment against President Bush.
Voters gathered for Newfane's annual town meeting on Tuesday to conduct routine business and vote on the impeachment call. It passed 121-to-29.
The impeachment item says Bush misled the nation into the Iraq war and engaged in illegal domestic spying.
A justice of the peace says that the town is run by what he calls the "far-left."
But a local teacher says she can't tell students "that what happens on the national level doesn't affect us at the local level."
Congressman Bernie Sanders issued a statement that says Bush "has been a disaster for our country" and may have broken the law. But he says Republicans control Congress and "it would be impractical to talk about impeachment."
The Democrats have perfected the use of the "Big Lie." I just wish the Republicans would fight back more effectively.
Why can't we vote Verminot out of the club.
thought I heard they were suckseeding anyway
Vermount....lots of crunchy granola....lots of gray ponytails (on guys and gals)....and lots of Birkenstocks worn over socks.
What I find humerous about watching leftists talk about Bush and impeachment is....the way they're so fired up and reactionary. It's like someone just stoled their bike, and that's all they got on their mind.
Bernie Sanders the socialist is their Rep. That's just rich!
But I repeat myself.
I live in Vermont, and I can assure you that the state is full of wing nut socialist liberal moon bat dweebs.
However , in the Northeast corner of the State, there is a conservative enclave.
We often joke that we live in the conservative Gulag, where there are wide open spaces, and you can shoot your guns in your own back yard.
Because of its park like qualities, Vermont is full of outside people who have moved into the state and its cities over the past 30 years.
They share little or nothing with old timey Vermonters. In the mid 1970's and early 1980's these back to the land hippies and yippies took political control of many of our local villages and towns
They are emotional, analytically challenged, peaceful unless you try to steal their TOFU, and against big government, against capitalism, against development, against police, against the military, against old timey farmers, against nuclear power, against traditional family values, against Christianity,and against each other.
I have yet to discover if they are for anything but their own selfish goals.
They perpetuate the selfish points of view which exemplify the Timothy O'Leary generation
Generally they could not fit a round peg into a round hole, and make repetative attempts to put round pegs in square holes and square pegs in round holes. Its a wonder they are able to reproduce.
If they do reproduce, they have few parenting skills, and the kids grow up with little structure. The solution to this is home schooling. Many are single parents, Many are gay couples as parents. The kid never grows up until the parent dies, and maybe not then.
Burlington is known as "Boulder East" where liberalism is an assumed ideology and all the coffee shop jokes are about red necks and Bush conservatives. When last gifted by such a joke, I excused myself, got up and left. There sense of false superiority and unjustified arrogance is underwhelming.
To top it all off they have little or no respect for the many Vermonters who serve in our guard and military in Afghanistan and Iraq. They offer no praise and the only time you hear from them is when they shiveringly point out the fact that one of our native sons has died in combat. They are the nation's sick joke.
To Them, Howard dean is a moderate centrist.
To them,Bernie Sanders is a political sage.
They all cluster around their fires at night practising the arcane arts of non analytical devination on the future of the entire world as if any one, or group of them mattered. They do not. They are on the rail siding of life waiting for a train that will never come.
Why do I live here?
I am thinking about moving to Texas.
But I do feel better after writing all this!!!!
Howard Dean's state. end of story
You stole my post!!! =)
Anyone hear Hannity today on the radio playing the tape of that kids teacher ranting about Bush being Hilter in class? Holy smoke, and I thought my teachers were out of their minds.
I pray they keep pushing for impeachment! Nothing will get the Republican vote out better in the mid-terms than that. I hope the hotheads keep screaming for it. But it's obvious good ole Socialist Bernie understands what's at stake. If the House tilts Democrat you can be sure he'll be leading the charge for impeachment.
I'm sure you do, and I enjoyed reading it!
PROFANE
The others are 1st and 2nd generation hippie / yippie imports froom Southern New England.
About 1/3 of Vermonters are conservatives.
Idiotville?
Sounds like that part in The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly where Eli Wallach is trying to read the note;
"E.., EE..., ...." (Eastwood grabs the note)
"Idiots! (hands it to Wallach) It's for you!"
Great matching pic dame!
Everybody's white.
