Give us optimism and hope, in the face of reality.

If I had a dime for every optimistic story I read at Brad Blog, which ammounted to zilch, I'd be wealthy. Even considering the worthless $.

Brad often does!:evilgrin:

us whackos imo.

voted FOR impeachment. Let them get that word out to their disgrunted constituents, who might actually think they MEANT it.

Then throw the bill to the floor, and force them to be 'for it before they were against it...'

Ah, such flip-floppers!! :sarcasm:

I would not put the sarcasm tag at the end though, I honestly think that is a great idea. If the Republicans want a debate on impeachment let them have it. Considering Cheney is one of the most hated men in America, I don't think the debate is going to help Republicans as much as they think it will.

"flip flopper" aspect. The GOP sure knew how to dish that shit out, I'd like to see how well they take it. Those Wingnuts were such ASSHOLES to Kerry, I'd love to take those flip flops they make, as their elections draw near, and stick them up their asses, frankly!

At the very least, popcorn sales would increase. Is that made here or in China?

and contempt, court security, prisoner re-entry.? I haven't heard such belly aching since I had the NERVE to give a pop quiz to high school kids ON A MONDAY.

"Like What Are WE Crazy Or Something?" Do we expect these people to be able to work on many different subjects at the same time?

Maybe they could get some help with their homework. LIKE THE ENTIRE CONGRESSIONAL STAFF AT THEIR SERVICE. Not to mention any number of outside experts who actually do their homework.

Stop whining and get to WORK. Do not use the excuse of too much work to do a bad job on any of these duties. I feel an excuse coming on.

Something along the line of, "Well, we tried to do better on FISA but we compromised and got a condemnation not an impeachment,. Oh and by the way, the AT&T company and all other communication companies that have spied on you in the past, we gave them retroactive immunity. That will be all. No questions. Thank you.

...but I won't :)

The only persons Congress cheers up (usually) are Corporate Persons
like Walmart, Time and Warner, CitiBank, Halliburton, Lockheed, Kellogg
Root and Brown, Arthur Anderson, Bank of America, British Petroleum,
Standard Oil etc

Kucinich has been talking about his resolution for months, he hasn't been quiet about it either, and he announced several days ago he'd bring it to the floor today. Impeachment resolutions are not something that's hush-hush in congressional circles.

It explains.

Unless, of course, that's asking to much of them again. :shrug:

Le sigh.

If House leadership is clever, they can turn the tables... however, I'm not optimistic Pelosi and Hoyer can (or are willing to) pull it off.

:kick: :kick: :kick: :kick: :kick: :kick: :kick: :kick:

I'm still scratching my head and going 'huh?!' Maybe they're trying to restore a shred of decency to their party?

some Dems started to change their votes towards the end.

they want to allow the impeachment crowd to have their day in court. Let's hope the court isn't rigged.

That would make a martyr out of him, and could make the Dems look really bad.
