GOP Candidate Wants Bush Impeached

Go ahead and check your calendars. It's not April 1st, and I'm not making this one up.

Dennis Morriseau, a Republican candidate seeking the House seat Bernie Sanders is vacating, says he can not only win the nomination but also wants to impeach George Bush.

Here's an excerpt from an article that appeared in yesterday's edition of the Rutland Herald.

GOP candidate calls for impeachment
July 21, 2005

A Congressional candidate who wants to impeach President
Bush insists he can win the Republican primary.

Dennis Morrisseau, 62, of West Pawlet, plans to seek the
Republican nomination to run for U.S. House of Representatives. The seat is
being vacated by Rep. Bernard Sanders, I-Vt., who plans a run for the U.S.
Senate.

A central part of his platform, Morrisseau said, will be
bringing articles of impeachment against Bush.

He will most likely face Maj. Gen. Martha Rainville,
adjutant general of the Vermont National Guard, in the September 2006 primary,
along with any other candidates who might get themselves placed on the ballot
between now and then.

Morrisseau said he considers himself more of a Republican
than the president, and he thinks a lot of Vermont Republicans agree with
him.

"This leadership isn't very Republican and I don't think
it's very popular with Vermont Republicans," he said. "Republicans in this state
tend to be mind-your-own-business people, keep taxes low and government
small."
