Bottom Line: The Democratic defense of Bush/Cheney is so reliable...

[Junkdrawer]

that the Republicans are forcing the Democrats to take the political hit in doing just that.

Kinda makes you proud to be an American, huh?

1. I have to ask myself what nancy, steny,

et al are so afraid of? Besides their own shadows that is.

3. ANY rational, patriotic America would want this to go forward...

The system is corrupt and broken.

2. Ok. that was wholly without context or development

I guess it's a message board and you can start a thread on a whim if you care.

4. If the Republican leadership thought even for a second....

that the Democratic leadership would actually try to expose Cheney's crimes, they would have voted with Hoyer to table the Articles of Impeachment.

Since Republicans KNOW there is no danger of that, they voted to make Hoyer/Pelosi/Conyers take extra steps to kill the Articles and thus further demoralize the party's base.

5. thanks for the explanation.

Bus to catch! :hi:

7. i understood EXACTLY what the OP was saying

and i agree 100%

[KoKo]

6. that's what I thought...the Dem and Repug and M$M Spin is that Kucinich was Overwhelmed

and that Hoyer Seized the Moment and the Repugs joined in and it was a COMPROMISE.

Yet...I saw Kucinich up there seeming to protest Hoyer's ruling.

It's all so opaque. Games and such.... IT turns off voters and folks here...the games going on.

8. dems get pwnd again..

same shit, different day.

[mmonk]

9. You nailed it.

It's to expose them.

[magellan]

10. God forbid that just once the Dems stand with one of their own

...rather than tripping over themselves to do exactly what the Repugs want them to, the terminally ignorant f*cks.
