Dennis Kucinich is a phenomenal human being.

The scrappy Ohio Congressman and two-time Democratic presidential hopeful has 35 different reasons for the impeachment George W. Bush.

Atop his list of impeachable offenses is “Article I: Creating a secret propaganda campaign to manufacture a false case for war against Iraq.”

Determined to see Bush thrown out of the White House, Kucinich took to the House floor a 35-count impeachment resolution against the President on Monday, the most thorough and powerful such case made to date.

He outlined a litany of high crimes and misdemeanors and showed without a shadow of a doubt that George W. Bush deserves to be impeached.

Dennis Kucinich made clear that Bush has violated his oath of office and his Constitutional duty that the laws be “faithfully executed.”

Kucinich and others argue that Bush and Dick Cheney lied to Congress and America about Iraq (up to 935 times, some believe), thus committing crimes against this nation and facing a laundry list of clearly defined impeachment grounds.

The rest of Congress may not have the spine to back him up, but Dennis Kucinich is still going after George W. Bush out of pure principle.

As of this posting, 4,100 Americans are dead and a staggering 500,000 (at least) Iraqis have also died as a result of the Iraq war.

If these travesties have occurred as a result of lies and deceit, as Scott McClellan corroborates in his new book, then Kucinich isn’t merely posturing. He is pushing for something just - and something few have the balls to stand for.

Say what you will about the 61-year-old political oddball - he is nothing if not honest, refreshingly courageous and principled.

While it’s easier to take such stands when your seat is safe and you have no chance of winning the presidency, Dennis Kucinich deserves our respect.
