San Fran Supervisors: Impeach Bush!
First they voted against a resolution supporting a bid to move the hisoric battleship Iowa to SF, where it would be converted into a floating museum. Now, there’s this:
San Francisco’s supervisors jumped into national politics Tuesday, passing a resolution asking the city’s Democratic congressional delegation to seek the impeachment of President Bush for failing to perform his duties by leading the country into war in Iraq, eroding civil liberties and engaging in other activities the board sees as transgressions.
The supervisors, in voting 7-3 for the resolution, made it likely that San Francisco again will become grist for radio and TV talk shows. The city has appeared in the national media spotlight recently for voters’ passage in November of a nonbinding measure banning military recruiters from public high schools and for Supervisor Gerardo Sandoval’s recent comment on a Fox News show that the United States doesn’t need a military.
Supervisor Chris Daly, one of the most progressive members of the board, sponsored the resolution, which also calls for the impeachment of Vice President Dick Cheney. Daly said the measure is justified in light of the administration’s case for and handling of the war in Iraq, the federal government’s inadequate response to Hurricane Katrina and recent revelations about a domestic wiretapping program.
“I think the case is clear, and I think it’s appropriate for us to weigh in,” Daly said.
Hmmm. This must be some of that poo power city officials are ‘hoping to harness.’ ;)
On a broader note, here’s a shout out to San Francisco conservatives, who no doubt face uphill philosophical battles daily in one of the most (if not THE most) liberal cities in the US.
Publisher’s note: Sistah, most people have no idea how bad. But we keep fightin’ the good fight. One reader at a time.

There are not enough conservatives in San Francisco to fill a street trolley.

Yawn, what else is new? Since when should we care about whatever San-Fran-sick-o says or does except to laugh and shake our heads.

Because liberalism is contagious. Don’t think conservatives can just keep moving to the suburbs to survive. It’s an airborne virus.

[...] Attempting to rationalize (if not justify) this week’s news regarding the S.F. Board of Supervisors issuing a resolution to impeach President Bush, not to mention the recent public display of stupidity from Sup. Gerardo Sandoval, Ryan uses the oh-so-clever metaphor that life is like high school. Indeed, obviously for some people more than others. But instead of caring about popularity contests, the “indy” S.F. chooses to be a contrarian — to pretty much everything. [...]

[...] If ever local ballot measures deserve to be thrown out, they’re the ones city voters will see on June 6, when they’ll be asked to throw good money after bad and weigh in on initiatives based on silly ideology. Of course, that doesn’t mean they won’t pass. After all, anything is possible in a city that has Chris Daly on its Board of Supervisors.” [Read the full story] And that’s what we’re dealing with here. [...]
