Keith Olbermann also opened his show on Tuesday of last week with a segment on impeachment.

We have allies in the corporate media who will cover what we do if we fight the good fight to save our nation. We also have those on the other side of the political aisle. That's right---Republicans.

Only a handful frequent the site, but over at the blog, Republicans for Obama, Republicans were overjoyed and excited when Kucinich introduced articles of impeachment.

Here is just one of the remarks you can find over at this blog:

I have been watching Suzi and my first thought is it is about time. Even if this resolution is voted down and impeachment proceedings do not go forward two important things will come of this.

1. An official record of George W. Bush’s crimes will be filed

2. Will reflect negatively on McCain by association

3. Help Obama hopefully as he has run on a platform to restoring the Constitution and reversing the actions of George W. Bush

I call on all Republicans, Libertarians, and Independents to please read these articles of impeachment and understand how George W. Bush has walked all over the Constitution of the United States and your personal freedom and protection under said document.

Ask yourself what has happened to the Republican Party and how after all that George W. Bush and the Neo-cons have done, the current positions of the party are supportable. This is the party of Lincoln, Roosevelt, and Eisenhower. I think they would be ashamed and outraged at what has happened to their party. It is my opinion that it is no longer the Republican Party in the traditional sense and has been morphed into something new and is unsupportable at this time. To me Republican means – The Constitution be damned I will do what I want, Imperialism and the invasion of sovereign nations, illegal spying on Americans, the promotion and furthering of the military-industrial-oil complex, and the party of lies, slander, and deceit.

I know it sounds harsh but I no longer recognize the Republican Party. I am done with them.

Yes, I, too, was unaware that there were Republicans out there that talked like this, but think about how many more small sites like this are out there on the Internet. Consider that impeachment is supported by people in all political parties in America and let us all band together to put a halt to the crimes being committed by this administration. Forget the motive behind Republicans’, Libertarians’, and Independents’ actions. Don’t make the same mistake the anti-war movement in America chronically makes. Worry about what their plans are for America after impeachment later and instead focus on reclaiming or establishing democracy in America.

“We don’t get a do-over.” So, on that note, happy Father’s Day. In the spirit of our nation's greatest fathers, our Founding Fathers, may you and your father find the strength to unite behind impeachment for the restoration and betterment of this country.
