Impeach Bush crusade spreads around county (VT)
Brattleboro Reformer | 02/21/06 | Howard Weiss-Tisman

ROCKINGHAM -- A Newfane resident's call for the impeachment of President George Bush is echoing in Rockingham.

Maya Costley, who lives in Saxtons River, heard about Newfane Selectboard member Dan Dewalt's town meeting article asking Rep. Bernard Sanders, I-Vt., to open impeachment hearings against the president.

If Newfane voters approve the article, Dewalt is going to send Sanders a letter asking the Washington politician to open the impeachment hearings.

"I was inspired when I heard about that," Costley said about Dewalt's push. "A light turned on and I said 'This is what we need to do.'"

Costley was too late to have the topic debated at Rockingham's town meeting this year. She wants to gather enough signatures to call a special election.

She said she is also raising enough money so that the town will not have to fund the special election.

Like Dewalt, Costley said she is angered and frustrated by what the president has been doing. She said Bush started a war in Iraq with false information and she said his tapping of American phone calls is illegal.

"I have a son and I am frightened for him," she said. "The president has broken the law and he has to be told that this will not be tolerated. "People have to stand up and say something and make that statement. We want Congress to stand up and fulfill the task that should be done."

Trivia about Newfane: years ago Golden Griddle (the pancake syrup, not the Ontario restaurant chain) took a bunch of actors from NY and posed them in front of a church in Newfane and shot a TV commercial. The actors were supposed to be Newfane citizens raving about how great the syrup tasted. Locals were outraged!

(Syrups like that, Vermont Maid, etc., have maybe 1 or 2 per cent of actual maple syrup. The real thing costs much more. One site I found online sells a half-gallon for $35.95. Yup, gas is just over 2 bucks a gallon but 100 per cent maple syrup will set you back $70 a gallon or so!)

Do you think that this is Mr. Tissmin's biggest wet dream ever or that he actually has some evidence that this is spreading?

I laugh in the face of those who would elect a Bernie Sanders to congress or a 'Leakey' Leahy, to the Senate.

In the words of my misspent youth in the Bronx....."Impeach This!"

I live in Vermont, and I can assure you that the state is full of wing nut socialist liberal dweebs.

However , in the Northeast corner of the State, there is a conservative enclave.

We often joke that we live in the conservative Gulag, where there are wide open spaces, and you can shoot your guns in your own back yard.

Because of its park like qualities, Vermont is full of outside people who have moved into the state and its cities over the past 30 years.

They share little or nothing with old timey Vermonters. In the mid 1970's and early 1980's these back to the land hippies and yippies took political control of many of our local villages and towns

They are emotional, analytically challenged, peaceful unless you try to steal their TOFU, and against big government, against capitalism, against development, against police, against the military, against old timey farmers, against nuclear power, against traditional family values, against Christianity,and against each other.

I have yet to discover if they are for anything but their own selfish goals.

They perpetuate the selfish points of view which exemplify the Timothy O'Leary generation

Generally they could not fit a round peg into a round hole, and make repetative attempts to put round pegs in square holes and square pegs in round holes. Its a wonder they are able to reproduce.

If they do reproduce, they have few parenting skills, and the kids grow up with little structure. The solution to this is home schooling. Many are single parents, Many are gay couples as parents. The kid never grows up until the parent dies, and maybe not then.

Burlington is known as "Boulder East" where liberalism is an assumed ideology and all the coffee shop jokes are about red necks and Bush conservatives. When last gifted by such a joke, I excused myself, got up and left. There sense of false superiority and unjustified arrogance is underwhelming.

To top it all off they have little or no respect for the many Vermonters who serve in our guard and military in Afghanistan and Iraq. They offer no praise and the only time you hear from them is when they shiveringly point out the fact that one of our native sons has died in combat. They are the nation's sick joke.

To Them, Howard dean is a moderate centrist.

Bernie Sanders is a political sage.

They all cluster around their fires at night practising the arcane arts of non analytical devination on the future of the entire world as if any one, or group of them mattered. They do not. They are on the rail siding of life waiting for a train that will never come.

Why do I live here?

I am thinking about moving to Texas.

But I feel beteer after writing all this!!!!

I imagine moonbats are evenly distributed across the country.
Of course, heavier concentration in the land of "pets", the large cities.

So what's the surprise here? A minuscule percentage is still minuscule, no matter how you look at it.

We should threaten to kick these idiots out of the Union and cut off all their federal funding. Let them fend for themselves and see how long they survive.

Soooooooooooooo, they want to impeach a President, who is performing his constitutional duties to protect the country from its enemies, when he swore the oath at his inauguration ... How twisted!

The scenery in VT is great and I like going up there but I too have seen the moonbats. Naturally, Burlington has an Air America station, as does Brattleboro, where WKVT dumped Rush and Howie Carr in favor of Franken. (note logo below: using the flag? I am shocked! I thought libs hated the flag!!)

Yup, They are all moonbats living in a dream world shored up by such institutions as Air America ( Which I never listen to).

I love it when the world rears up and bites them in the ass. I see that a lot and it is one of the good things about living here!

They figure that they keep showing the one or two people involved in this that it might gain momentum.
