Opinion Piece:
Dennis may have gotten more votes in Michigan then the fella that got 59 delegates, but Dennis got 0 delegates.
Local word had him threatening a floor fight on the DNC RBC Michigan decision at the convention. At least it was in the local media since the decision to give 59 delegates to a candidate with zero votes.
That all stops now.
The US House has allowed Dennis to submit his Articles of Impeachment against George W. Bush. They are even reading the entire 35 articles on the floor, and may vote to send them to the House Judiciary Committee (where they will die on the table with his Articles of Impeachment against Richard Cheney).
It is my opinion that this is a concession to get him to drop his convention floor fight, as all democratic leaders in the house have said that impeachment is "off the table".
They let Dennis throw a tantrum publicly and tarnish GW in history, and he gives up his convention floor fight on the Michigan decision.
Gotta love politics!

Lol. That's funny. It's a chicken/egg scenario to me. I think Dennis is the chicken and the egg. In equity, Obama should have gotten something from Michigan if anyone got anything, considering the circumstances. Dennis exploited that to make some political statement. Some people may feel that statement is warrented as a nominal "punishment" while others may feel it's a bitter and resently ploy for attention. In the end, I hope Dennis is representing his constituents in the manner they want to be represented.
Little guy’s got big balls. Not to mention he exercised his duty as a representative to bring forth the issues of his constituency in the full and legal sense. Plus he has a hot wife.
Oh yeah, Mabus, lets also link to the biggest news story since Scarlett’s private emails with Obama...

If I was a leftist, UFO watcher I would be 100% behind the guy. He does have balls. He makes no apologies for being a leftist.
When was the last time you saw hours upon hours dedicated to a single representitive for a measure that all the leadership, and his own party, has stated is a "non-starter"? He read the articles in full, and then several clerks (they swapped them out as their voices got tired, I imagine) read them in full.
Fun, fun, fun.

A real “maverick”. If Kucinich were a character from old west legend? He might not be the sheriff, but he is the law-man who supports the sheriff.

Our Congress.. hard at work once again.
Wonder if someone has calculated how much tax dollars the midget wasted so he could feel better about himself?
We have more pressing matters in Washington right now.. like saving the polar bears who have only increased their population ten fold in the past 30 years and trying to seize profits from independent businesses.

Right... because wasting our strategic reserves is totally wise and conservative.

Yes, because wasting tax dollars and populism are exactly how he got his name.
