Adame drops the 'I' word


Marshall AdameMarshall Adame has brought up impeachment.

In a post on BlueNC and the Daily Kos, the Democratic Congressional candidate raises a series of rhetorical questions about U.S. policy on Iraq, the Guantanamo prison, torture, rendition and secret prisons overseas, asking "Where was the outrage?"

When we all learned about the Secret prisons, where we took people to be tortured and that our President and Vice President had approved them; Why was our President not impeached? (bold his)

Later in the post, he says the GOP has failed to "put America First!"

"The Republican Party has betrayed all Americans regardless of party affiliation," he writes.

The ramped-up rhetoric and the mention of impeachment come as Adame faces a Democratic primary challenge from Morehead City meteorologist Craig Weber.

The winner of that primary will face Republican Rep. Walter Jones or former Onslow County commissioner Joe McLaughlin.

Re: Walter Jones supports impeachment too

Considering that mess down there on the border Bush deserves to be impeached and held accountable for all the poor souls, including all too many in NC, that he's let get killed by Third World Invaders who have no business being here while he and McCain crow about giving amnesty to these criminals.

Re: Walter Jones supports impeachment too

No, Ryan, you can't be tired. We eagerly await each post -- scan 'em all fer grammar, spelling and accuracy, and gleefully leap upon every wee misstep. NO SLEEP FOR YOU!

Re: Walter Jones supports impeachment too

Dumb mistake. I'm a little tired this week.

Walter Jones supports impeachment too

Ryan, As was noted already, your post was incorrect as you failed to note that Jones has a Republican primary opponent - Joe McLaughlin.

Also, it would have been interesting for you to point out that Walter Jones has dropped the "I" word before. That's right: Walter Jones has said he supported impeachment of George W. I googled for the reference and what did I find but a post written by YOU on November 7... Just to jog your memory....

"Jones told him he would not introduce an impeachment resolution, but he would support one if it was introduced. "

Can't wait until Election Day when all you "insiders" can give us voters all your wisdom on why McLaughlin won. Ryan, I would suggest you follow the advice of your college professors and get out and talk to some Republicans in eastern North Carolina and find out about their true feelings when it comes to the Jones/McLaughlin race. Have you forgotten "The Great Shoe-Leather Tour"?

Re: Adame drops the 'I' word

Hope the part about facing Walter Jones is prophecy to show that Joe McLoughlin deserves little thought on May 6 because he truly doesn't. Adames is a left wing kook just as much as McLoughlin is a Bushbot who can't think of any talking points Karl Rove isn't pushing.
