Less than 11 months until New Hampshire...

If nothing else, Dennis Kucinich is consistent. He wanted to push articles of impeachment against George W. Bush and Dick Cheney over the Iraq war, which his own party’s leadership squelched in the summer of 2008 — when Bush’s term had all but expired anyway. Kucinich and John Conyers instead had to settle for “impugnment hearings,” which one witness called “slightly demented.”
Now we have another military action from another president, this one without the cover of a Congressional authorization to use military force, and Kucinich wants to crank up the impeachment process, pun most certainly intended:
A hard-core group of liberal House Democrats is questioning the constitutionality of U.S. missile strikes against Libya, with one lawmaker raising the prospect of impeachment during a Democratic Caucus conference call on Saturday.
Reps. Jerrold Nadler (N.Y.), Donna Edwards (Md.), Mike Capuano (Mass.), Dennis Kucinich (Ohio), Maxine Waters (Calif.), Rob Andrews (N.J.), Sheila Jackson Lee (Texas), Barbara Lee (Calif.) and Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D.C.) “all strongly raised objections to the constitutionality of the president’s actions” during that call, said two Democratic lawmakers who took part.

From a political standpoint, it is probably a plus for Obama any time he has opponents on his left. But this is one more reminder of how far we have come from the days when Obama got has start as a presidential contender as the candidate of the antiwar movement.

Lil freak still reeling from his dental olive pit implant?
Gimme a break! If Obama loses Dennis the Menace, he loses deadweight, he loses that which he never had and if he ever “had” him he was an albatross. Campaigning without the support of Kucinich is like hunting without an accordian.
Thats what Im thinking... He loses the dumpster who will vote for him?
Hmmm... Looks like the fringe left is a bit unsettled right now and it also looks coordinated because Ralph Nader is singing a similar refrain at the moment: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2691891/posts
As far as I know, the War Powers Act has never really been used, and I think many people think it is not Constitutional. But perhaps enough Leftwing extremists in Congress will oppose our involvement in Libya to actually put this all to the test.
So will I join the left nut crowd? [bashes head against the wall, drools, farts and faints]

Sounds familiar.
Psst - Kookcinich! Ask him for his birth certificate. Thanks.
Racists...
Less than 11 months until New Hampshire...
Like everything Liberal, this astroturf outrage is contrived.
Liberals have no standards to measure anything by.
If someone actually drafted articles of impeachment Kucinich and all the other Liberals would race away like scalded apes.
The left wing has called for it repeal for years, maybe this time they may actually attempt it. It should be repealed.
Uncivil racists. Probably violent.

Baloney. They’re just blowin’ smoke. All this amounts to is a shot across the bow in reminder to Obama that they’re really the ones in charge and to APPEAR to be consistent. Then they’ll go back to their tawdry lives, soaking the taxpayers for whatever goodies they can get, smokin’ their Cubans and pimpin’ their constituents.
“Get over it, Kucinich.
First, by not being a natural born citizen,
the King is not impeachable.
Second, laws do not apply to my people,
you stupid Cracker-dhimmi.”
You gotta love Kuku he’s always good for a laugh.
A consistent RAT? Who knew???
