Who would have ever thought a Democrat would have more courage and stand by his convictions, putting the country first, doing what’s right and needs to be done while mentioning that magic little word that begins with an “I” than those “principled” Re-pube-lick-enz?

I don’t believe I’ll be calling him Dennis “The Menace” anymore. He’s rapidly climbed to number one on my political popularity chart.

President Barack Obama should be impeached for approving air strikes against Libya, Rep. Dennis Kucinich said in an interview Monday.

“President Obama moved forward without Congress approving,” the liberal Ohio Democrat told Raw Story. “He didn’t have congressional authorization, he has gone against the Constitution, and that’s got to be said.” Several other members of Congress have also chastised the Obama administration for not doing enough to sell the intervention to Congress, let alone to the American people.

Wow! He’s right. It should also be noted:

Kucinich wanted to impeach former President George W. Bush and former Vice President Dick Cheney for their roles in leading the United States into war in Iraq and for their oversight of the conduct of the war, but was blocked by Democrat leadership.

Give the man credit for putting the country and the constitution first, and ignoring the partisan B.S. It doesn’t matter to him if it’s one of his own or one of “the other guys.” You have to admire that. I have a new-found respect for him.
