And we just watched history folks

when we are old and gray we can tell the kiddies what we saw today.

What is clear is that impeachment is crawling on the table now

our blue dogs cannot be trusted... need to go check on the list of the 50 or so who voted to table

Wow.

:eyes:

and keep pressuring

:eyes:

but if we don't try... then we deserve all of it

:rofl:

This is way too much. I love you guys. I really do.

take two advil, and call me in the morning

By the way, this is the kind of pushback that MIGHT prevent our fall into that good night

I hope Naomi Wolf does a happy dance too

keep the pressure...

Damn, I should be doing something.


Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :hi:

:-)

this is a game the repukes are playing with the dems, and so far they're beating the crap out of them.

They just don't get it.

with calling the GOP on its bluff and giving them the impeachment hearings they wanted.

I would like more then anything to see this go forward. I just don't believe anything will come of it. It's back in committee where more then likely nothing will be done in regards to it.

And Dennis' articles of impeachment simply go back to the JC where exactly nothing will happen.

It is a mistake to play their game. Our best option is to be true to our values. We want truth and justice. We want information. We want these people who think that they are playing an f'ing game to know that this will not stand. They work for us and we have had enough. It is time for them to answer for thier crimes. This is real. It is not a game.

Peace.

whether this is the beginning of the end for Bushco, or prelude to their complete takeover, history was made today.

but expect more talk of Iran in the next two weeks or so

remember it didn't start with a bang.... but it did have the GOP turning on Nixon

There are paralells

from Junior right now?

lol

now let me get the vote on who among the blue dogs voted to table

I did promise my congress criter that if she did... no vote from me next year

is a good reminder about just how long it took from the break-in to Nixon resigning. That thing stayed at "simmer" for much longer than people remember.

and Nixon's crimes were boy scout stuff compared to these guys

I'd like to know, because I'm not watchin' them since the '00 coup took place.
!

when it jumps up and bites it in the ass

Same goes for all the other acronymed media

Pathetic

are they using their crystal ball? They're scared spitless and reacting accordingly.

I still think public opinion has an impact on government and it may still be so in this case.

lol

Are they bringing it to the floor because they think they can kill it deader than if it is tabled?

Are they stealing our thunder because they actually hope to rid them selves of Cheney so they have a chance in the 08 elections?

Am I an idiot??

This is the one scenario I NEVER imagined! I was sure the GOP would introduce tabling the resolution, and our Dinos would go along.

My hope... That they are telling the White house that this is the best way to kill it, but actually know Cheney is going to be Impeached.

My gut feeling is they are going to stomp it into the ground and our capitulating Dems with it.

PLEASE SOMEONE explain what this might be...

1.- They hope to embarras dems

2.- They hope to be portrayed as the ones who TRIED to get rid of Chenney.. (and if that works, we just lost the election)

2.- This is the distancing of the most unpopular administration since Nixon

even DU'ers didn't seem to be verifying. I think the Repugs turned on Cheney today but in a vote that was so bizarre either the M$M missed it...or just didn't want the public to know what it was.

All that switching votes that the Repugs did making it look like THEY were the ones AGAINST Tabeling the Resolution while the Dems didn't change their vote.

But...I read it that there is something going on "behind the scenes" between Repugs and Dems that Dems would look like the ones not for furthering Impeachment (because Nancy said it was a No Go) and so the Repugs did the heavy lifting. :shrug:

Whatever...it was fascinating to watch...

Nixon did not resign until the House committee approved articles of impeachment and it was clear that the House was going to vote to impeach. That was when congressional Republicans went to the White House and told Nixon to resign.

who was the one who told Tricky DICK to resign???



...
dp

and the minority leader as well as the senate minority leader

Perhaps this is why Mel Martinez decided to call it quits?

but WHO told Tricky Dick Nixon to resign?


trivia deluxe.
dp

Barry Goldwater. "Nixon should get his ass out of the White House—today!"

And I'm talking to my kids about it now!

So how do I explain this to my three feathered kids?

:-)

My nephews will have to wait until they are a little older

to to read some of the silly things that the conservative democrats are saying: The Sky Is Falling!!!"

Up until a few hours ago, they could pretend they were in favor of serious investigations, then impeachment. Now they are channeling Chicken Little, clucking about how dangerous this is.

permanently

And that will be an effect they were not expecting

Democrat or not, there needs to be some House cleaning.

this move changed things.

and I intend to follow through wiht that I told my Congresswoman's staffer today... she lost my vote

And that is the only way things will change, when we are willing to punish them for simple things like this.

...of a Democratic party too weak to oppose the worst executive administration in our Nation's history.

Good on Dennis, shame on the chickenshits that wouldn't get his back.

LOL you are sounding like my hubby
