Subject: RE: BS: Impeachment Action Needed (quickly)
It has nothing whatever to do with revenge, Bobert. It's about saving this democracy before they deal the final death blow. That's what it's about.

They could have eneded this stupid war a week after gaining majorities on both houses of Congress by simply "suspending the rules".... Yeah, no whwere in the US Constitution does it say that the majority party has to have 60 votes to cut off a filibuster... Those are rules that Congress itself has placed on itself...

Nancy Pelosi could end the war all by herself in a second by simply refusing to allow a vote on funding the war any further. The head of the committee that deals with funding of that sort could do the same by not allowing a funding bill to leave the committee. It wouldn't take a single vote to do it, and it wouldn't require cutting off any filibusters. They're lying when they say they need votes to do it. And they're lying because they don't want to end the war. That's why they keep funding it.

But my real question is this... Why were the Repubs pushing the Dems last week to impeach??? Because they believed that Cheney would actually be impeached??? Think about that one...

They knew that the people who elected the Democrats want Cheney impeached, and they forced the Democrats to show more openly the fact that they are not complying with the wishes of their voter base. I'd say it worked. Spectacularly.
