My theory on why our Democratic leaders are against impeachment [View All]

[Poiuyt]

They are all saying that impeachment would take too much time from accomplishing the people's business in Congress, we need to concentrate on getting our of Iraq, etc., etc. Pelosi's against impeachment, Reid's against it, Feingold's against it. Everybody (OK, Dennis Kucinich is for impeachment,but just Cheney). My own Democratic Congressman is saying the same line as the leaders.

Is there a concerted effort by the Democrats in Congress to avoid impeaching Bush? I think so. There has to have been some kind of back room bargain made or they wouldn't be so unified (wouldn't it be nice if the Democrats were unified for us instead of against us? I would expect some members of Congress to be against impeachment for the reasons they state, but not all of them.

My guess is that they are not going to impeach Bush 43 to avoid embarrassing Bush 41. That's the only thing that makes sense to me. Bush 41 had been one of "them" and I'm guessing that they have at least a little respect for the man. Impeaching his son would be a terrible blow to the Bush family, so I think Congress is putting up a unified front against impeaching 43 so that 41 can save face.
