Newsflash: Bush “indicted” by two Vermont towns; Update: Hillary supporters cheer Vermont
Moonbats in heaven:
Voters in two Vermont towns approved measures Tuesday calling for the indictment of President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney for what they consider violations of the Constitution.
More symbolic than anything, the items sought to have police arrest Bush and Cheney if they ever visit Brattleboro or nearby Marlboro or to extradite them for prosecution elsewhere—if they’re not impeached first.
In Brattleboro, the vote was 2,012-1,795. In Marlboro, which held a town meeting on the issue, it was 43-25 with three abstentions.
“It really carries no weight,” said Brattleboro Town Clerk Annette Cappy. “Our town attorney has no legal authority to draw up any papers to allow our police officers to do so, but the gentleman who initiated the petition, got the signatures, wanted it on the ballot to make a statement.”
The measure in Marlboro isn’t binding because it didn’t appear on the warning for the meeting, according to Nora Wilson.
“It was emotional. There were heartfelt speeches on both sides,” Wilson said.
The question put to voters in Brattleboro referred to “crimes against our Constitution” but did not specify the allegations.
In Brattleboro, a steady stream of voters paraded into the Union High School gym to cast their ballots on a day when school board elections and Vermont’s presidential primary were also on the slate.
Voters interviewed after casting ballots said they saw the article as an opportunity to express their frustration over the war in Iraq and Bush’s tenure in general.
Break out the Chavista berets!

Update 8:34pm Eastern. Stephen Spruiell reports from Hillary campaign HQ…
Here in Columbus, Ohio, Hillary Clinton will meet her public tonight after what looks to be a successful day in Ohio. The campaign is broadcasting CNN on a giant projector screen for the crowd of several hundred, which just cheered after seeing a graphic that showed Clinton with a large lead (so far) over Obama in Ohio. The next headline CNN displayed was “Citizens of Brattleboro, Vermont pass resolution to arrest Bush, Cheney.” The crowd went really wild at that.

Michelle, please help me understand the minds of these people… Are they really just insane?
The jokes just keep on writing themselves.
Canada, you can have ‘em.
Well, I was just askin! What a town! It must have started off as an insane asylum.
I’d considered traveling through VT this summer, including Brattleboro. Nix the plans.
Me thinks the Secret Service would have something to say about it if they tried to slap the cuffs on either one of them.
“…to make a statement.”
Oh, you made a statement all right - Moonbat Central
Nuke ‘em. A joke - kinda.
Okay, taze ‘em for those of you who might be offended.
If Bush wants to redeem himself in my eyes, he would head there tomorrow and walk right up to the police cheif and say, I dare ya’ pardner.” That would be a beginning.
I’m glad they did it.That’s the beauty of this country.It’s their right and it’s guaranteed.If Hadji was in charge they wouldn’t be able to even talk about it.If this makes them feel better and sleep good,hooray.Now the rest of the country can sit back and laugh at the stupidity.
I’d pay money to see that soap.
Just goes to prove you give them enough rope and they will hang themselves. These people are truely on the frindge and unhinged. Where is the proof, what laws were broken that their democrartic leaders did not also break?
They can all pack their bags and leave this country anytime they want to. No one will twist their arms to stay since in their opinion this country is so bad.
It is so sad that these poor people are so isolated & out of touch with reality.
I guess there really are 2 Americas.
But they won’t arrest illegals.
The irony.
illegals???
Undocumented Americans!!!
/sarc off
I am with you zorro. I’d pay too.
I think Rusty got the boot so we may have to depend on lgm now for laws concerning the Constitution.
But then again, “violations of the Constitution”… this has a nice sound to it. Well if that is the litmus test…
OK then arrest Bloomberg for violating the 2nd amendment rights of New Yorkers…
jus sayin.
I created a bumper sticker that the BDS sufferers in Brattleboro and Marlboro can use.
Any word on the outcome in the 2,012-strong race for Brattleboro Village Idiot?
If you’ll remember the Confederate Army successfully carried out an attack on Vermont. Now I fully understand why.
Maybe there is something in the water that seeped in from Canada.
Answer: D - All of the above.
The word “stupid” was invented just for these people.
They let illegal aliens run all over their state, breaking the law and getting away with it, but issue warrants for the arrest of the President and the Vice-President.
I can only think they are desperate for attention. As well as being stupid.
Where in the Constitution does it give Vermont towns the authority to indict sitting Presidents? If they can’t show where they get this authority, are they not then violating the Constitution, and by their own logic, shouldn’t they be indicted themselves?
President Bush ought to retaliate by cutting off Brattleboro’s AIDS funding.
¡Hospice la vista, moonbats!
This is like two cashiers at Walmart getting their store to vote to fire the CEO.
Yes, beautiful Vermont…where pediphiles are protected and roam free…what can one expect from a state whose majority is “pro-choice?” They care more for the fictional Iraqi “victims” (of Bush/Cheney) than they do for their own children (or would’ve been children!) Simply pathetic!!!
Who cares what Joe Inbred from Sh*tsplat, Vermont, thinks anyway?
Boy, have times changed since Snelling was the governor of Vermont. A couple of times, I seriously thought about leaving Virginia and moving back home to the state. Both times I didn’t because the job opportunites weren’t what I wanted. Now, no family remains there; they’ve moved out. It used to be a nice conservative state. AlMeehan, that was the “battle” of St. Albans, 10/1864. Makes a nice trivia question.
Just had a thought…do you think we could trade Vermont to Canada, for, say, Nova Scotia?….and a hockey player to be named later.
It may be better to ask, where in their town charter or ordinances does it give them the right? Does this town have a law against violating the constitution. If they don’t, they have no basis for the charges.
Another non-binding resolution by moonbat liberals.Why does it seem that every resolution passed by the libs is “non-binding”?BTW,wouldn’t Non-binding resolution”qualify as an oxymoron?Seems to me if its a resolution,then it is by definition “binding”.Liberalism is definately a mental disorder.
A maritime province? Are you nuts? Let’s trade all of New England for Alberta. That’s a win-win.
The two lines that stand out to me in the article are “it carries no weight” and “it was emotional.” Typical moon bat propaganda. It carries the weight of a marshmallow and its supporters act like a bunch of 3 year olds who were just told they can’t it their way (I take that back. My toddler handles it much better than these lunatics).
How about posting a map of the best bypass route’s of both those towns. I hear they water down their gas too!
Did y’all hear about that earthquake that just occured in Vermont?
It was Ethan Allen spinning in his grave!
# 30 TexasTiger:
As soon as we got Alberta, the Mexicans would call it Caztlan and claim we stole it from them.
Maybe we should send the 10th Mountain Division stationed in nearby Watertown, NY to retake the two towns provided President Bush would be willing to suspend the Posse Comitias Act. Besides it would be a good urban combat training environment to keep them sharp for their next deployment.
True Vermonters are Independents and certainly not communists. Transplants from NY, MA, and CT skew the politics to the extreme left. Remember Screaming Dean is not a real Vermonter. Go into the true Vermont country side and see what the real people are saying about the overthrow of the state by flat landers. Yeah, I said flat landers.
The pedophile’s paradise of The People’s Soviet Socialist Republic of Vermontistan is up to its old tricks.
Desdenova, I hear the same thing from my cousin in law (if that’s not a legal term-sorry) a native Vermonter. He says that like Oregon and Washington state, the libs and kooks “invaded” their land and it’s impossible to get rid of these fools. His folks still live there but his siblings all moved to ME, with the exception of himself-Joey & Karen move wherever the Air Force tells them to go.
Desdenova is right. There are still a few of us real Vermonters left, but very few. And many have been drawn away from reality by government handouts. But we are in the minority, and the leftwingers have stolen the state from us. Ethan Allen fought New Yorkers for all his life, but they finally won.
I’ll renew my request from a thread of long ago: conservatives, please move here! That’s the only way we’re going to take control again!
