Now that you have seen what your Congress thinks of impeachment, can we please move on?

[Freddie Stubbs]

It is time to deal with serious issues, like SCHIP, water resources, education, and energy independence.

[EFerrari]

1. No.

:hi:

[redqueen]

2. ...

:rofl:

Yeah, I'm sure LOTS of good work will get done on those issues, with that rat bastard holding the veto pen.

:eyes:

[Freddie Stubbs]

7. I have a feeling that there is a veto override right around the corner:

[redqueen]

12. Oh boy!

One bill!

:bounce:

[Ghost in the Machine]

27. ... veto override....

:spray:



It doesn't matter if a veto is overridden, the chimp will just render it moot with a signing statement.

Wake up!

[derby378]

31. You can't cure cancer with a mere biopsy...

'Nuff said.

[Freddie Stubbs]

36. You also can't do it with a hand grenade

[Lerkfish]

3. LOL

as if they can or will do anything about any of the other issues.

[MrCoffee]

4. think we're going to get a lot of movement on those "serious issues", do you?

this Congress is utterly worthless.

[Moochy]

30. deleted

wrong place

[Hydra]

5. You mean those things that Bush is going to decide by EO?

Don't expect Congress to get any traction from now on. They just voted themselves into retirement.

[NightWatcher]

6. congress doesnt care about any of that either

they only speak about it so that we will vote for them. then they will flip flop and keep things as they are.

[LSK]

8. while I disagree with your assessment of the importance of this

I do agree that its not happening with this Congress.

[Solly Mack]

9. No

[derby378]

10. Yeah, like those are REALLY important to the future of America...

:rofl:

Impeachment. Restoration of America's good name. NOTHING else matters.

[ClassWarrior]

11. So taking a stand against abuse of power isn't "serious?" High crimes...

...and misdemeanors aren't "serious?" The very foundations of our Constitution aren't serious?

And what "Congress thinks" doesn't matter. They need to learn what WE think of IMPEACHMENT.

NGU.

[WA98296]

13. What business? Enabling the Bush Crime syndication yet more? n/t

[countingbluecars]

14. Yeah right.

Screw the constitution.

[cboy4]

15. You mean the incompetent Congress, right?

They screw up everything they touch.

[cali]

16. *sigh*

They haven't accomplished anything significant and they can't even back impeaching Cheney. And this was about as serious as it gets.

[madfloridian]

17. Almost as many Republicans voted No to table as Democrats.

They were changing their votes from Yes to No.

I found that amazing.

[Spazito]

29. The Democrats made it easy for them to take the "high road", sadly

Once the repubs were assured the Democrats would do their own in, they were free to change their votes and be able to say, with technical truth, they were for accountability, it was the Dems who stopped it.

The Democrats, imo, did it to themselves yet again. Disturbing, disastrous, heartbreaking.

[NewJeffCT]

34. ding ding ding, we have a winner here

that is the reason for it.

[Occulus]

42. No, that is the WHAT of it

We don't, and likely won't, know the 'why'.

If you assume corruption of some sort, you're probably on the right track.

[Ghost in the Machine]

18. They HAVE dealt with SCHIP, Water Resources, etc... they've all been VETOED

have you NOT been paying fucking attention????

NOTHING the dems do is going to pass the chimps desk without getting VETOED... Period! Bushit has said so himself....

If we can't impeach these fuckers, it's time to drag their goddamned asses out of our government and take it over ourselves...

FUCK. THIS. SHIT.

[H2O Man]

19. You go your way.

Catch you some other time.

[Seabiscuit]

20. I hope you honestly forgot to add the "sarcasm" smiley.

Otherwise, you're one hell of a fucked up dude.

[redqueen]

28. Nah, he's "Centrist!"

YAAAAAY for centrists!

:puke:

[RiverStone]

21. Just because Congress bailed, are you suggesting it is not serious?

I would not use our Congress as any kind of barometer to judge what is serious or not. If they felt the need to end Shrub's war was serious , that debate would have ended months ago as well.

Kudos to Kucinich for walking, talking, and acting like a Democrat. A rare breed on a Hill filled with sheeple!

[Moochy]

22. Move on

To a brighter future!! hows about...no.

[Individualist]

23. Rah, rah DLC

:eyes:

[Neshanic]

24. Oh those will be by executive orders. No need for the spineless to become involved.

[Moochy]

25. Yeah Laws Schmaws

No wonder I had you on ignore for so long..

[Freddie Stubbs]

40. People who cannot win arguements often put me on ignore

[spanone]

32. serious issues....bwahahahahahaaa

[Robbien]

33. All bills which the Dems will work with GOPers in secret behind closed doors

and any bill these DLCers pass will favor corporations. The DLC/GOPers will make sure of it.

[nadinbrzezinski]

35. So why not get it over with

and declare the president dictator for life and disolve this peshy three power thing?

I mean it is obvious to me that people do HATE the constitution

By the way... we just lost the election

[nadinbrzezinski]

37. Then again

right now it is passing, NAYs have it and the REPUBLICANS are the ones switching.

How will this play in middle america?

[Zywiec]

38. Looks like we won't be moving on after all. n/t

[Freddie Stubbs]

39. We are. The House voted to send the bill to die in committee

[nadinbrzezinski]

41. And you think it will die in committee?

Silly you...

Privilidged means Dennis can bring this back up again

And you know what? I will proudly stand side by side those who stand by the Constitution and not those who'd rather kill it for political reasons

[Freddie Stubbs]

44. And the majority can send it back to committee

The Speaker could choose to disregard Kucinich's motions as dilatory.

[WritersBlock]

43. I always sorta thought that lying the country into a war was a serious issue.

Not real sure how it gets much more serious than that, quite frankly.
