Vt. towns approve Bush 'indictment'

By JOHN CURRAN, Associated Press Writer 7 minutes ago

Voters in two Vermont towns approved measures Tuesday calling for the indictment of President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney for what they consider violations of the Constitution.

More symbolic than anything, the items sought to have police arrest Bush and Cheney if they ever visit Brattleboro or nearby Marlboro or to extradite them for prosecution elsewhere — if they're not impeached first.

In Brattleboro, the vote was 2,012-1,795. In Marlboro, which held a town meeting on the issue, it was 43-25 with three abstentions.

"I hope the one thing that people take from this is, 'Hey, it can be done,'" said Kurt Daims, 54, who organized the petition drive that led to the Brattleboro vote.

The measure in Marlboro isn't binding because it didn't appear on the warning for the meeting, according to Nora Wilson.

"It was emotional. There were heartfelt speeches on both sides," Wilson said.

The question put to voters in Brattleboro referred to "crimes against our Constitution" but did not specify the allegations.

In Brattleboro, a steady stream of voters paraded into the Union High School gym to cast their ballots on a day when school board elections and Vermont's presidential primary were also on the slate.

Voters interviewed after casting ballots said they saw the article as an opportunity to express their frustration over the war in Iraq and Bush's tenure in general.

"I realize it's an extreme thing to do, and really silly in a way," said Robert George, 74, a retired photographer. "But I'm really angry about us getting involved in the war in Iraq and him (Bush) disrespecting the will of the people."

I might go back to New York City, but, that is about it, I have no desire to go the NEW QUEERLAND ( NEW ENGLAND ).

Vermont vexes me. Everything I read about it sounds like The Planet of Lesbian Goatherds, yet everybody I’ve ever met from there is a decent, intelligent and fairly conservative person.
They got to put out the tourist conservative traps for the conservatives, or else the conservative won't visit.... once you are charmed in loving the place, then the indoctrination begins.

Out of those three, I vote Leahy goes first. Then after they indict, arrest him on Friday afternoon, so he spends some time in the DC City Jail, which also house federal detainees right in with the DC thugs, murderers, rapists, and gang bangers. If he aint leaky leahy now, he will be...

Yes,,, it is a shame, from what I have seen of the land and country on TV ,, it’s a geographically beautiful place, but, the politics is another story.

[diverteach]

I’d love to see thier Barney Fife police force try and get past secret service first.

Now that would be some excellent reality TV.

Robert George, 74, a retired photographer is a moron. I’m tired of people like him not supporting the war against Islamofascism. It’s too bad the idiot didn’t take some pictures on 09-11-01. I imagine he was probably napping that week.

I wonder what else was on the ballot...

“Every child gets a pony.”

“Free tickets to ‘The Vagina Monologues’ for everyone in town.”

“Indict Japan for the murder of whales.”

“Grant insects the right to vote in municiple elections. At least it will increase the average IQ of the voting population in those cities.”

" the voters results when I issue like Gay Rights is voting on and a constitutional amendment is voted on, and the leftist and their fascist judges "

Sorry for my spelling, my eyes are getting bad.

I meant, the voters results, and when issues like gay right is voted on and a constitutional amendment is passed by the voters, the leftist and their leftist fascist judges turn it down.

[Alissa]

Yeah, the only state that’s ever elected a bona-fide socialist to congress. I’m not impressed with Vermont voters.

[Straight Vermonter]

Bro, you have no idea how what it is like...

[ThreePuttinDude]

Not one of those NE states will see any of my tourist $$$’s ever.
Nor will I ever visit any of the NW tree huggin’ hippie camps as well.

Hey I know I live in liberal New Jersey.

...yet everybody I’ve ever met from there is a decent, intelligent and fairly conservative person.

Most people FROM here are decent. The people who LIVE here, however...

Or cheering the terrorist on and giving them aid and support.

Other than say how ashamed I am of all the retarded moonbats occupying this Socialist’s Utopia, just read my tagline.

[Straight Vermonter]

Are we down to 37 now? Hell, we could all meet in my living room.

My husband graduated from the University of Vermont in 1972. At that time, we knew a couple from Brattleboro. All they could think about was graduating so that they could get out of the state. There were more cows in the state than people at that time and the native Vermonters didn’t ski. They said that was for the tourists and new comers. Most of the native Vermonters couldn’t afford to ski.

[enough_idiocy]

Crimes against the Constitution? What power are they exercising here? Seems they should read the document, they have no authority here.
