republicans vote for bill to impeach cheney hell they voted for to a 2:1 margin roughly than the dems 66 democrats and 156 republicans voted not to kill the bill so repubs want to impeach cheney there is a god
That's pretty bad when you become so neo that your own conservative party wants to impeach you. He needs to be impeached. I wish they could still impeach Rumsfeld even if it's no longer a cabinet member.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/US_House_Resolution_333 Where did you see this? According to wikipedia: On 6 November 2007, Kucinich read his resolution on the House floor as a "Question of the Privileges of the House." A few hours after his notice, the Chair ruled the resolution to be a "Question of the Privileges of the House" and the House proceeded to consider the resolution. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer immediately moved to table the resolution, but the House failed to agree on that motion. Then, Representative Hoyer moved to refer the resolution to the House Judiciary Committee (to which it was previously referred.) The House agreed to that motion and the resolution was again sent to the Judiciary Committee for its review.
That sounds HIGHLY questionable in the way you're reported it. (A result of very poor wording, perhaps??) Do you have solid evidence to show that it was exactly as you say it is?? If so, let's see it.
He's totally mischaracterizing the situation. Here's the real story from the Hill. http://thehill.com/leading-the-news/republicans-keep-cheney-impeachment-bill-alive-2007-11-06.html
Now that's more like I figured it would be. Makes sense - once again he's distorted something to have it come out the way HE wants it to be!:bugeye: Thank you for the REAL story, CZ.
GOP leaders felt as though it was in their interest to debate the measure because it would make Democrats look bad. Ah, I just love Washington.
There is something unclear in all this: Why is the House Democratic leadership so anxious to avoid this? Have they somehow mangaged to not be ready for this?
Well basically it does show just how screwed up the Democrats are, instead of tending to the Nations business they are chasing Impeachment Charges that will go no were, they are not taking care of the country, they are not taking care of the peoples business, there isn't enough votes to impeach or convict, the Dummycrats don't have a large enough majority, so why are they wasting time on a useless gesture?
You're right, Buff. Potential criminal wrongdoing by our nation's leaders is not "the Nation's business".
pfft this is good governance what alternate reality do you come from pork, squander, waste, futile these are all good things
Because they have been out maneuvered on this, guess who can now say in the election campaign that they were in favor of the investigation and point to who wanted to kill the investigation.
You do realize that it's the Democrats who're trying to put the bill to rest and the Republicans who're keeping it alive to try and embarrasses the opposition right? So, add "and Republicans" after every "Dummycrat" in your sentence and you've got it.
No wasting time on something that they weren't prepared to carry out is not doing the peoples business. They don't have the votes, they don't have the evidence, or they would be pushing the hell out of the investigation, if they had anything real you wouldn't be able to stop the investigation and the Impeachment charges, and the trial, they have nothing and they know it, so like in a poker game they tried to fold, only this isn't poker and the Republicans won't let them fold, they are going to make them put up or shut up, so you are right they weren't prepared because they don't have the evidence, and they were hoping that the Republicans would fight tooth and nail to back V.P. Cheney, and have a campaign issue, but the Republicans out maneuvered them into them being the ones trying to kill the Bill. Well what do you think the Democrats were trying to do to the Republicans? The Dummycrats got beat in their own game.
The better way to put it is the Republicans are just as bad as the Democrats, instead of just bashing one side like your normally do. If the Republicans were any better, they wouldn't be continuing this farce.
Ah, but the Republicans did something interesting, they voted to continue the procedure to impeach Vice President Cheney. Will this get out of the Democrat led Judicial Committee? One can only hope.
