Once again, the Democratic Party divides between the rank-and-file and the "pols".
The Democratic Party of Wisconsin, in the closing hours of its state-wide convention
yesterday, adopted a resolution:
"CALLING ON THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS TO INITIATE IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS
AGAINST PRESIDENT BUSH, VICE PRESIDENT CHENEY AND DEFENSE SECRETARY RUMSFELD FOR
HIGH CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS"
However, the "pols" are attempting what they strangely perceive as
necessary "damage control" such that the resolution isn’t appearing
at places like the Democratic Party of Wisconsin website. And, of course, it
isn’t getting out into the world of corporate media.
Yet and still, it’s a good sign. Go, Wisconsin! Text of the resolution,
as reported in DailyKos.com blog by "ColdFusion04" on Sunday (June
12, 2005) --
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHEREAS, the Downing Street Memo shows that Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld began
planning and executing the war on Iraq before seeking Congressional and UN approval;
WHEREAS, UN weapons inspectors showed prior to the invasion that there were
no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq; and
WHEREAS, there is further mounting evidence that the Administration lied or
misled about "mushroom clouds," "connections to 9/11," and
"war as a last resort" as they sought UN, Congressional, and public
approvals;
THEREFORE, RESOLVED, the Democratic Party of Wisconsin asks Congress to immediately
begin impeachment proceedings against President Bush, Vice President Cheney
and Defense Secretary Rumsfeld.
