Chris Dodd Says Don't Impeach Cheney, Why Not?

Well Chris Dodd just lost my vote. Actually I had no plans to vote for him in the primary anyway, but his statements recently confirm that decision.

Dodd, appearing before voters in Rochester, NY stated that impeaching Cheney would not help the country. The crowd was unenthusiastic to this comment, and so am I. Dick Cheney has run a shadow government with no accountability or oversight. He arguably runs the White House and has secrets so numerous he has to have huge safes for daily use to keep documents from prying eyes.

Why the secrets? I assume it’s because he is doing something illegal, and so do many in Congress and the public at large. So why is Dodd so adamant about not impeaching him? Dodd speaks about restoring America’s moral authority. What better way than to hold our leaders accountable for violating human rights? What better way than to show the world that no American is above the law?

Chris, you haven’t got a prayer of getting the nomination, so why not use your time in the limelight to do something that will restore American’s faith in our government and its checks and balances. Impeach Dick Cheney and then investigate the White House and stop the charade.
