242-170...not good

[Hydra]

The problem with this is that 142/170 votes to table are coming from the dems.

Who is playing what game here?

[YOY]

1. Perhaps they are hoping Cheney will continue to sink the Republican "good name" if still in power

Perhaps they're a bunch of sockpuppets. My faith in the systems has not been restored.

2. Maybe, just maybe the Dems are calling the Republicans bluff

Knowing that if they attempted to table it, the Republicans would want to embarrass them by bringing it to the floor.

It could've happened that way. Not bloody likely but still.

3. What the hell is Hoer doing? Does he think it's not even worthy of debate?

is there something he doesn't want read into the record?

4. The (R)s WANT a debate. They know Pelosi can't bring the votes

5. Well the last Impeachment got most of the repukes kicked out

so the politicians are fighting the last battle. The repukes think Impeachment will be looked at negatively by the American public and are forcing the Dem's hand. But the American public can easily see the difference between breaking laws, getting kickbacks from contractors, starting wars on false intelligence and having consensual sex.

The repukes are betting the American public will react like they did to Clinton's Impeachment and the Dems agree. But I think they are are misinterpreting what the people want. In the end the people want Cheney Impeached and neither repukes or Dems have figured it out.
