1. They want Cheney gone worse than we do?

:shrug:

I heard the other day that there is a book coming out about former President Ford which states that there were some factions in the repub party who tried to get Ford to convince Cheney to step down in 2004.

4. it would be good to see the dems numbers of nay to start dropping too

I'm not real sure I understand how all this works and I am inclined to believe the congress critters structured the two houses just for that, to keep us confused so they can continue to abuse us

5. They get to say "we voted to continue the discussions about impeaching the lawless VP" ...

Edited on Tue Nov-06-07 03:30 PM by BattyDem

when they already know that their votes won't change the outcome. In other words ... they get to blame the Dems for ignoring Cheney's crimes and they look like the heroes of our democracy. :eyes:

EDITED: They didn't actually vote to impeach: they voted to keep the motion on the table.
