McGovern Calls on Congress to Impeach Them |

 George McGovern
And in an editorial in Sunday's Washington Post, McGovern writes the
case for impeaching the current president is "far stronger" than the
case made against former President Richard Nixon — the man
who soundly defeated McGovern in the general election match up.
"Bush and Cheney are clearly guilty of numerous impeachable offenses,"
McGovern writes. "They have repeatedly violated the Constitution. They
have transgressed national and international law. They have lied to the
American people time after time.
"Their conduct and their barbaric policies have reduced our beloved
country to a historic low in the eyes of people around the world," he
continued.
McGovern, a former three-term senator who ran for president on a
fiercely anti-war platform, also called the administration's policy in
Iraq a "a murderous, illegal, nonsensical war" in violation of
international law.
"This reckless disregard for life and property, as well as
constitutional law, has been accompanied by the abuse of prisoners,
including systematic torture, in direct violation of the Geneva
Conventions of 1949," he added.
But McGovern acknowledged there is little bipartisan support for an
impeachment effort, blaming "superficial partisanship" among
Republicans, and a "a lack of courage and statesmanship on the part of
too many Democratic politicians."
