Ralph Nader Proclaims Five Counts for Impeachment of George W. Bush to PR.com in Candid Interview
In an interview with PR.com’s Senior Editor, Allison Kugel, Ralph Nader details five charges for alleged credible impeachment of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney.
In an interview conducted by PR.com Senior Editor, Allison Kugel, Ralph Nader details his case for the call to impeach President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney. He also accuses Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John McCain of turning their backs on these alleged charges.
In “Ralph Nader Goes to Washington... Again - The PR.com Interview,” Kugel questions Nader about the following statement on his campaign’s website, “Prominent Constitutional law experts believe President Bush has engaged in at least five categories of repeated, defiant ‘high crimes and misdemeanors,’ which separately or together would allow Congress to subject the President to impeachment under Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution.”
When asked about this statement by PR.com, Ralph Nader replies, “That’s simple, applying the constitutional responsibilities of the Congress. This is the most impeachable Presidency in American history.”
When asked by Allison Kugel if he believes George W. Bush and Dick Cheney are criminals, Ralph Nader replies, “Yes, of course. They’re war criminals. That’s easy to document. They violated the UN Charter. They didn’t get a declaration of war from Congress. They violated The Geneva Conventions. They’re systematic torturers. That’s been well documented by the press, and that violates federal law. It violates the constitution. It violates the U.S. Army and the Geneva Conventions. So, that’s two. They arrested thousands of Americans and put them in jail without charges; habeas corpus down the drain. That’s three. Fourth is, they’ve spied on thousands, maybe millions of people without warrants and that’s a five year jail term under FISA Act. And five, [George W. Bush] signed eight hundred signing statements when he signed bills into law, more than all other Presidents combined, in effect saying, ‘I’ll decide whether I’m going to obey this law or not.’ So, you have at least five major categories of continued impeachable offenses. This is not like a one time thing, Watergate burglary with Nixon or lying under oath about sex like Clinton. This is defiant, sometimes even admitting the spying and the torture, which they call ‘severe interrogation.’ These are defiant, continual, recidivistic war criminals, constitutional criminals and statutory criminals. They should have been immediately impeached and convicted in the Senate the moment the Democrats took over. But, the Democrats have taken impeachment off the table. Barack Obama has taken it off the table, Hillary Clinton has taken it off the table, and of course John McCain doesn’t want it on the table.”

Since the days of Newt Gingrich and his "Contract For America" American voters starting drifting more and more to the Republican side, even side lining the Democratics completely for 12 years, but the last 8 years of Republicans especially have put the Republic On The Brink of losing everything that once was held dear in a freedom and peace loving nation. The Republican catch words quickly became security instead of freedom and war instead of peace. With the Constitution "off the table" for the Republicans and Democrats alike the nation has lost its rudder, its engine is now stalled in dangerous waters, and the steep fall from grace continues to degrade and errode what's left of a once strong and democratic Republic.
Why is it that the man who seemingly is the most honest rational and compitant is so demonized by the party that portrays themselves on the side of the people.chris dorsey
It doesn't matter McCain or Obama. They both vote for corporate interests. By voting for them you are complicit.
It is time to vote third party.
Ralph Nader is the one to vote for this Election Day. He will uphold his oath of office to support & defend the Constitution from the enemies within. He has always supported the people's interests.
