San Fran supervisors: Impeach Bush!

Posted by: Sister Toldjah on March 1, 2006 at 10:41 am

First they voted against a resolution supporting a bid to move the hisoric battleship Iowa to SF, where it would be converted into a floating museum. Now, there’s this:

San Francisco’s supervisors jumped into national politics Tuesday, passing a resolution asking the city’s Democratic congressional delegation to seek the impeachment of President Bush for failing to perform his duties by leading the country into war in Iraq, eroding civil liberties and engaging in other activities the board sees as transgressions.

The supervisors, in voting 7-3 for the resolution, made it likely that San Francisco again will become grist for radio and TV talk shows. The city has appeared in the national media spotlight recently for voters’ passage in November of a nonbinding measure banning military recruiters from public high schools and for Supervisor Gerardo Sandoval’s recent comment on a Fox News show that the United States doesn’t need a military.

Supervisor Chris Daly, one of the most progressive members of the board, sponsored the resolution, which also calls for the impeachment of Vice President Dick Cheney. Daly said the measure is justified in light of the administration’s case for and handling of the war in Iraq, the federal government’s inadequate response to Hurricane Katrina and recent revelations about a domestic wiretapping program.

“I think the case is clear, and I think it’s appropriate for us to weigh in,” Daly said.

Hmmm. This must be some of that poo power city officials are ‘hoping to harness.’ ;)

On a broader note, here’s a shout out to San Francisco conservatives, who no doubt face uphill philosophical battles daily in one of the most (if not THE most) liberal cities in the US.

      Oh boy, you just can’t make this stuff up can you? San Fran and the local environs were full of leftists, moonbats, and dried up hippies, none of which had a clue. And SF has done nothing but go downhill over the past decade plus. I can well remember taking the ferry over to Sausalito, and their idiotic “Sausalito is a Nuclear Free Zone” sign. I have a picture of me somewhere wearing my “Now Comes Miller Time” t-shirt with a B-52 pulling up out of a mushroom cloud standing next to their sign.

      Oh for the love of God! I thought you were full of $%!# when I read this, but you are serious! This really can’t be made up!=))

    3. sanity says:

      Well we can think of it this way…

      If all the Liberlas go to CA, it will break off and sink into the sea from the weight of all the complete BS that is there.

    4. PCD says:

      The solution is to cut off Federal funds to San Francisco. Once the money stops, they’ll realize they can’t afford to be so moonbat Left.

    5. tommy in nyc says:

      S**T those dudes make a guy like me look like a member of the Heritage Foundation. It’s little wonder why the right doesn’t take the left seriously when you make statements like this Sandoval charachter.

    6. Severian says:

      Well, San Fran and the rest of Kalifornia are about to accomplish the amazing feat of getting all profitable businesses and people with any money at all to move out. Pretty soon federal money will be all they have. Kalifornia already lost almost all aircraft production, as in order to paint the planes the companies had to fly them to Arizona, CA’s air pollution regs were so strict. Why do that, why not just build the planes elsewhere and abandon Kalifornia, which the aircraft makers did in droves.

      Everywhere “progressives” and liberals manage to get their ideas put into force the place degenerates, but that’s not a reason to change or not do it!!! Communism and socialism are good, dammit, they’ve just not been implemented correctly. Tens of millions killed, but that doesn’t count, you gotta break a few eggs to make an omlet eh? What’s a few tens of millions dead if it brings us closer to the workers paradise? :-"

    7. Dana says:

      Tommy, I used your comment on my blog (with appropriate attribution, of course.) You are exactly right.

    8. Karl says:

      anyone that is sincerely shocked at anything they do there is disconnected from reality.

      San Francisco’s common sense slid in to the ocean decades ago….

    9. sanity says:

      They dont support the military.

      They dont want military recruiting anywhere near schools or universities

      The degrade the military.

      They dont want the ships to dock there.

      How about we just do what they want and pull ALL military out of CA. All National Guard, all Military bases get closed, ect.

      CA can contract for thier own security forces if they wish to do the work the natinal guard did in times of floods, earthquakes ect.

    10. blogagog says:

      I find it exceedingly strange that this massively liberal city wants Cheney to be president.

    11. tommy in nyc says:

      :)>- Well I’m flateered Dana. Thank you:)>-

    12. PCD says:

      blogagog, they want to impeach Cheney at the same time. If I remember right, they’ll get Denny Hastert as Prez if they managed to do the double impeachment.

      I still think Hillary will waddle through the Peace and Justice mob at the White House on Mar. 15, and declare herself President.

    13. sanity says:

      They dont.

      Supervisor Chris Daly, one of the most progressive members of the board, sponsored the resolution, which also calls for the impeachment of Vice President Dick Cheney.

      They want to impeach cheney too.

      Which in that case, would make the Majority Leader President then? Frist?

    14. Rovin says:

      Sis, I’m still a rookie at the “trackback” stuff but you and Dana have been linked to SFMoonbats with my thanks.

      Been in northern Cal for most of my life and this latest “lunacy” doesn’t surprise me (much).

      I think it is now time to split this state in two. (boundry lines to be determined)

    15. Jim M says:

      Is anybody really surprised that something like this would come out of the land of moon bats and nuts? San Francisco started its slide into lunacy in the 60s all that free Love and Drugs, no research necessary the SF city counsel is the results of the Drug use. Timothy Leary would be proud to know how some of his experiments with psilocybin (mushrooms) and LSD turned out.
      :-@

    16. Karl says:

      if the president and vice president were both removed, the office goes to the speaker of the house Dennis Hastert.

    17. andrew says:

      “I find it exceedingly strange that this massively liberal city wants Cheney to be president.”

      He already is.

      Well, maybe. Then again, I’m sure that you’ve heard of a hot air balloon.

    19. steve says:

      None of you thinks bush is an arrogant loser? Most polls say that about 60% of Americans now believe that. Is something wrong with those people or have they just had enough of the propaganda? Peace

    20. sanity says:

      NO we just have a problem with the scewed results of the polls with more democrats than anything else.

      How about an HONEST poll for once.

    21. - Hey Peoples….don’t throw the baby out with the sewage water. Theres a looooooot of us here in Cal that think Rove has his brain wave machine set up just north of Santa Barbera, and it inludes SF and the state of Oregon in its shadow. Contrary to what people think Cal is really not as heavy Liberal/moonbat as it may seem. Hollyweird is pretty much surrounded by Conservative cities.

      So lets limit the wished for shakeup to the Baghdad by the bay area, and let the Jarrasic park denizens at Disney take care of Tapanga canyon.. OK?
      *chuckle*

      Finally, somebody to do what Congress is incapable of doing. It’s about somebody stood up for America!

    23. sanity says:

      yes disarm america.

      That is what they want.

      Yeah most of america think they are crack pots anyways.

      Sticking up for america is NOT what they are about.

    24. sanity says:

      Here is an interesting poll I owuld like to see put out:

      Do you think the US military should be dismantled?

      Do you think the nukes we have should be dismantled and destroyed while allowing foriegn regimes to have them still?

      Do you feel we should treat terrorism like a police action, looking to arrest terrorists who kill and murder civilians, women and children?

      Do you think the UN has the US best interest at heart with what they do?

      Do you think the UN is corrupt?

      Do you think te UN should be dismantled?

      Which group do you feel have more hate-filled rhetoric, Democrats or Republicans?

      Add more for our special poll if you think of more…..

    25. - Which costume and character do you think Dean should choose for his new 4 point plan to become a SUPERHERO?

      Some of the foggiest country you will ever drive through to be sure and not just in a literal sense.

      I’m sure if you poll on it long enough, something will come of it steve. @-) =))

      steve: Wasn’t it yesterday you said President Bush was at 47.8% and today it’s 60%. CB Howell where’s the math on this going to take us?

      steve: you wouldn’t by any chance be the .8% you referenced earlier? BTW |-) this thread is about the nitwits drawing salary on the city council in San Francisco (WEST COAST) not the President of the United States of America, George Bush! (EAST COAST)**==

      Does anyone know who the three people in the 7-3 inane decision process are? Maybe a better question is do the remaning four know who they are?[-(

    27. forest hunter says:

      Sanity: Good idea but the 5 minute attention span is an issue. Perhaps “Do you think?” would suffice and for the more advanced, then go into your poll.

    28. Severian says:

      “Finally, somebody to do what Congress is incapable of doing. It’s about somebody stood up for America!”

      I think you misspelled Amerika, cause America has precious little to do with San Freakcisco.

      Stand up for lunacy and idiocy! Ignorance and insanity aren’t things to be ashamed of, but to be reveled in! We’re dumb as a sack full of hammers, and we’re damned proud of it! So, take that all you red staters! :o)

      Any hope of Iran or North Korea annexing San Francisco?

    30. forest hunter says:

      If you listen closely you can hear the bass drum beat of Golden Earring emanating from San Francisco’s city hall as they sing their theme song, “The Twilight Zone”. :))

    31. Ryan says:

      The powers that be in SF should focus more on the city itself than anything else. It’s been in a state of decay for years.

    32. - One amusing aspect of the SF kerfluffle is that Ashbury is now completly void of the smelly hippy types, having given way to upscaled shopping Kosks, high priced condos, and specious lip service by the decidely above average income earners that have taken over the territory. They may beat the Liberal drum daily for their fellow nehillists, bashing all things Bush, and voting a straight Liberal ticket, but when it comes to their portfolios, the very source of the wealth they hoard so jealously on the one hand, and campaign asidiously to “bring down Capitalism” on the other, you’d have to pry that material “eeevilness” from their dead cold fingers.

      - Bang **==

    33. Dana says:

      Steve, I’ve gotta ask: what is the purpose of writing inflammatory messages, with loaded words like “loser” and “propaganda” used, and then to end your comments, “Peace?”

    34. Jim M says:

      Dana you have to understand Steve is still stuck on “Stupid” and if you notice he only can manage two to four lines when he spouts his wisdom.=))
      When you have no facts to back up your position what else can you do besides throw out words like “loser” and “propaganda”. As far as the “Peace” at the end it could be the flash backs from the psychedelic drug use or it’s the only thought he can squeeze out after one or two sentences.
      :-@

    35. PCD says:

      Jin, steve just uses a macro to sign off with.

    36. steve says:

      What words should be used? I’ll bet you think it was OK to portray Mohammad as a terrorist, right? Is it getting people to think? Is it free speech? It all depends whose ox gets gored. Peace

    37. sanity says:

      perhaps it gets people to think of how this religon has been hijacked by those that plant bombs, murder, rape and dismember men, women and children all in the name of Islam.

      To that I think the cartoons are right on target.

      Istead of showing that the religon of peace is a RELIGON OF PEACE, they instead prove the cartoons RIGHT.

    38. steve says:

      And the Crusades showed the non-violence and hummanity of the Christians? Don’t be so arrogant and check out the log in your own eye before condemming others faults. Peace

    39. sanity says:

      You are talking ancient history there stevie-o.

      catch up to modern times.

      I would agree with you if the crusades were ON GOING, but we have evolvbed, and are not living in the past.

      Alex stevie would like to buy a clue.

    40. Severian says:

      Hey steve, you obviously are unaware that the Crusades were in part retribution for the Moors invasion of Europe…

    41. sanity says:

      Wow Severian, now there is a direct comparison!

      Moors invide Eurpoe so the Crusades happen.

      Cartoons are drawn of thier prophet and the they go about terrorizing, killing and burning. Essentially making what the cartoons show a reality. Could hte cartoons been prophetic? (no pun intended)

      Yeah steve, I can see how these two things are exactly the same.

      We are talking the present by the way, not the ancient past.

    42. steve says:

      Mindset. Invading 2 Arab countries, so far, and telling everybody in the neighborhood including Iran to watch out because the marshall’s in town might just cause a negative mindset. It might just scare the crap out of six-pack Charlie and the rest of the “we remember the Crusades” crowd. Peace

    43. Lorica says:

      Steve Afganistan is not an Arab country. It is a tribal country made up of many people groups. It is a mostly Islamic country but it is not an Arab country. Islam is a religion with many peoples in it, not just Arabs. Also what did Afganistan have to do with the Crusades?? I haven’t read much lately on the Crusades, but what I have read is pretty eye opening. Like the peoples of Europe didn’t start the Crusades. It was the expansionist mindset of spreading Islam by the sword. Which means you really can’t blame America for this whole mess. =)) – Lorica

      Bushes have been around for soooooo long! Almost as long as dirt and dummies. Even a forest starts out as a bush, but with an R. I’ll spell it for the housing challenged pet. BRUSH then trees, it’s hard to see the whole picture hiding behind BUSHES! **==

      Forrest Hunter Said: “steve: Wasn’t it yesterday you said President Bush was at 47.8% and today it’s 60%.”

      “CB Howell where’s the math on this going to take us?”

      Well, problem here is we would need to delge into to the rehlm of “imaginary numbers”. Unless you’re a graduate student in math…not a good idea. :-j

      I’m waiting on the San Francisco officials to write and sign a resolution to secede from the Union :)>-

    47. Proposal for a Compromise says:

      A significant number of Americans of both major political parties believe strongly that the problem of illegal immigration must be dealt with decisively.

      We would do well to understand that the only solution that is likely to be effective, and yet timely enough to head off economic and cultural disaster, is the threat of impeachment to George W. Bush.

      However, conservatives who favor Bush’s impeachment are in a distinct minority, and liberals so inclined, despite a loud volume of rhetoric from the left, are also a minority.

      I believe the lack of support for Bush’s impeachment, across the political spectrum, stems solely from the impeachment movement’s sole reliance up to now on anti-war grounds. Like it or not, there are not enough Americans who are convinced of the wrongness of the Iraq war effort itself. Stated another way, there are too many voters who supported, and will continue to support, military intervention in Iraq on any grounds whatsoever.

      If the two minorities from either end of the political spectrum could make common cause, a coalition with enough votes in Congress might be formed with could at least begin the impeachment process. In this way the Bush administration might feel sufficiently threatened to move to the right, taking the actions conservatives desire as to illegal immigration, namely: securing our borders, deporting illegal aliens, and prosecuting employers who knowingly employ illegal aliens. Concurrently, Bush might be moved to begin a decisive disengagement from Iraq.

      How could such common cause be made? It would involve a significant and far-reaching compromise between the liberals and conservatives. Let’s re-state the situation which makes compromise imperative: a) Some liberals favor the impeachment of Bush over alleged lies and abuse of power related to the war in Iraq, while conservatives discount these factors, in whole or in large part; and, b) Some conservatives believe the Bush is in violation of his oath of office…certainly an impeachable offense…for failing to act decisively on the illegal immigration question.

      To effect a compromise that would significantly increase momentum for Bush’s impeachment, articles of impeachment should be drafted which include not only the left’s charges concerning the war, but also the right’s charges that Bush has violated his oath of office.

      Each side would have to “give,” as follows: Liberals would have to come out against illegal immigration, and conservatives would have to endorse the liberal position concerning the war and national security power abuses.

      Naturally, each side would insist on a “gain.” The gain for liberals would be tacit conservative endorsement of the liberal position, and likely political gains for the Democrats in Congress in 2006, and an increased possibility of regaining the White House in 2008. Democrats have been accused of fringe mentality so long that such an endorsement would likely appeal to them, and appear as considerable and tangible in their eyes.

      The gain for the conservatives could be twofold: 1) decisive action against illegal immigration, or a clear declaration that such will be necessary for any politician seeking conservative support; and 2) negotiation of a mutually acceptable, yet decisive “exit strategy” from Iraq that would establish U. S. power credibility and largely break the back of the insurgency.

      A possible such “exit strategy” would include cordonization and ensuing destruction of the Sunni triangle…preceeded by a suitable period allowing any person the opportunity to exit through screening checkpoints…this to be followed with a phased withdrawal of combat troops (definitely short term, but without announced timelines) leaving only advisory-type units to train and coordinate operations of the Iraqi security forces. Further, the exit of combat troops should be tied to tangible evidence of Syrian and Irani disengagement from support of the insurgency, delineated through direct diplomatic efforts. Failure to meet such targets, it would be made clear, would be cause for re-introduction of direct U. S. combat power.

      Such a compromise between the liberal and conservative patriots in this Country appears to be necessary to accomplish what we both desire, i.e.: the removal of an administration which is proving itself increasingly unable or unwilling to address critical problems facing America.

      What we lack is only agreement on the grounds which could constuct such a compromise, and a core of leadership in the Congress, from Members on both sides of the aisle, which could take this idea and begin to move it forward.

      I am appealing to such leadership, through this forum and website, that it begin the process. Thank you for your consideration of this proposal.
