1. Because They Want Him In Office?
At least most of the Democrats do.

3. So far 20 Reps have signed on to the Impeachment.
How many is required for the next phase?

4. It's not about numbers; it's about the leadership.
Unless and until a bill for impeachment gets into and then out of the House Judiciary Committee and then gets past the Steering Committee to see the light of day on the House floor, there is no next phase.

I wouldn't want to hang by my thumbs until then.

6. How would Impeachment of Cheney hurt the Dems?
He is hated by most Dems & probably a lot of the Repugs.

8. They're in for a surprise, then
when they find their inaction, laziness and willingness to support Bush's agenda become big issues during their next campaign.

I predict many will be replaced, and not by right wingers either.

7. Too lazy
too self-absorbed. Their only concern is raising enough money to run for re-election. Many of the Dems in Congress are far more focused on their job security than they are on the country.
