Democrats call for Bush impeachment

By JOHN DISTASO
New Hampshire Union Leader

STATE DEMOCRATS did more than listen to rousing speeches at their convention last Saturday at St. Anselm College.

They passed several resolutions — chief among them a call for the impeachment of President George W. Bush because he "has committed high crimes and misdemeanors as he has repeatedly and intentionally violated the United States Constitution and other laws of the United States."

Is that all? No.

Before voting overwhelmingly by a show of hands on that one, there was a strong voice vote to censure the President — a resolution submitted on behalf of one of the keynote speakers, "red meat" Wisconsin Sen. Russell Feingold.

The censure motion contended Bush authorized the illegal wire-tapping of "perhaps more than 1 million Americans."
