DK Success. Nearly 100% in Congress Supported him yesterday.

Dennis Kucinich is the winner, he had a majority join him on two forced votes dealing with his Resolution to Impeach Cheney yesterday.

The first vote, he was joined by almost all the Repukes in keeping his bill alive. In the second vote, all the Dems joined him to send the Resolution to Committee. Two wins for Dennis.

Nearly everyone in the House went on record yesterday either favoring a debate on Impeachment or referring the Impeachment Resolution to Committee.

Go Dennis!

1. I asked Conyers office if they were taking up the Resolution since a majority

referred it to his committee. The aide told me that they were not right now. I asked if they had plans to, and she carefully told me that it was being discussed.

Keep Impeachment hope alive.

2. When the resolution was introduced in June he had 100% support

From all members of Congress when a unanimous consent motion sent the bill to committee.

Another oft overlooked great victory for Dennis!

7. Almost all republicans keeping the bill alive???

Sounds like a trap, feels like a trap. Something is very suspicious with this vote of support by them.

9. It's *very* possible that they're just knee-jerk Contrarians.

Or have been reduced to such.

10. Ever since the dems took power....

republicans have been daring them ten fold than usual. They have been daring the dems like to try to defund the war, impeachment, et al. This move by them is very suspicious. I don't know what they have in store, but it doesn't look good if they get suckered in.
