Spineless fucking wimps
Just wonderful. Here we have a great opportunity to finally get some serious debate about impeaching Herr Cheney, and the spineless DLC'ers tuck their tales between their legs and try to kill it. So now the resolution is heading towards the Judiciary Committee instead of the House floor, practically ensuring its defeat.

This makes me want to :puke:

4. An impeachment resolution *CAN'T* be fillibustered...
...bceause it takes place solely in the House of
Representatives where there *ISN'T* any fillibuster.

2. Oddly enough because they are spineless and know it that was the correct call
The simple truth is the Repugs have them figured out. They are a bunch of spineless do nothings. And both sides of the aisles know it. So when Kuccinich called for the Dems to stand up and take action the Repugs knew there was not a chance in Hell of the Dems being able to rise to the occasion. So they saw a great opportunity to show the Dems to be the spineless wimps they are by flipping their votes and putting the articles of impeachment on the floor for consideration. The Dems knew they didn't have the stones to actually do anything so they did the only thing they could do to save face and that was shove it into committee. It was the right call as they would have been eaten alive on the debate floor as they have no freaking spine and no will to actually do anything.
