[fooj]

4. Found out that it was Ted Stevens that voted "present"...

5. he sure will!

That shows the idiocy of these stupidly phrased and meaningless votes. IMPEACH THE MUTHERFUCKERS already!!

:grr:

[NoPasaran]

12. But if you can't prevail on these "stupidly phrased and meaningless votes"

How exactly do you propose the impeach the mofos?

[TwilightGardener]

13. Exactly--this was an easy, low-risk vote. If we can't even get this,

on an lying assclown like Gonzo, any hope for impeachment of ANYONE is forever dead in the water.

[Bucky]

14. They couldn't pass a non-binding vote, so you want them to impeach now?

Get real. If this toothless chastisement doesn't fly, what makes you think they'll get enough votes in the House to impeach? Sorry, but the failure of an impeachment resolution would hurt the Democrats. Forget a Senate removal trial, impeachment alone will leave the Dems falling on their faces.

Your righteous anger alone isn't enough. We need the Democrats to fight smart, not these WW1 style suicidal rushes across no man's land.

6. 53 to 38 and 1 present. That's 92....who were the other 8?

[TahitiNut]

8. The roll call (#207), not posted yet, will be posted here ...
