Hoyer tries to refer it to committee, then GIVES UP when Kucinich challenges him!

[NYC Liberal]

He tried to refer it to a committee and when Kucinich asked for a recorded vote, Hoyer said, "I withdraw my motion......he's wants a vote, fine."

1. hes doing it now

recorded vote time@!

[MoonRiver]

2. Is this just an incredibly masterful move on the part of House Dems?

I don't know what's going on, but it is AMAZING!

[nadinbrzezinski]

6. Ye are giving way too much credit to the leadership

[NYC Liberal]

7. Did they trick Repugs into thinking they were embarrassing Dems

by voting against it so THEY would vote FOR it?

My head hurts.

[Gregorian]

3. No, he moves to refer it to committee.

It's a battle. And I don't know what is going on.

[Gregorian]

8. You say Bayner. I say Boner. Let's impeach the vice president!

:)

Damnit, I've got pending matters in my personal life that rival the importance of this vote. Argh. I'm going nuts here.

10. I wish that I were a fly on the wall of all of those offices...

I really want to know who the good guys are, what is really going on.

14. Follow Kucinich's lead. He's the one in the white hat.

[me b zola]

18. That much I know, but that's about all I know right now.

:)

[rodeodance]

4. they are voting to see if it goes to committee

[nadinbrzezinski]

5. Ok folks we are watching history

it should be refered to the comitte, but not to languish, which is what Hoyer wants

[TahitiNut]

9. You get it. Many here do not.

This is a game of chicken ... and the Dems had better play with spine or lose a LOT of support.

[Beetwasher]

11. Repubs Just Handed The Dems An Amazing Opportunity

I hope they are smart enough to seize it.

[TahitiNut]

17. It's "gut check" time, for sure.

There's gonna be an ENORMMOUS effort to spin this in every which way.

[Beetwasher]

19. The Smart Thing To Do At This Point Is Political Jujitsu

Say "Fine, the Repubs want it on the table? Game on mutherfuckers!" Then impeach the scumbag. The public would back the Dems wholeheartedly on this.

[Hobarticus]

15. I don't think they have a choice, now...

Like it or not, here it comes.

Cheney's got to be blowing his stack right about now. Either this was masterful on Hoyer's part, or a serious blunder.

[MuseRider]

12. I hope Conyers

has had enough of holding off to follow Pelosi. I have a suspicion he is ready to move on it.

[spanone]

13. yea, that democratic party REALLY has it's ducks in a row

:sarcasm:

[Renew Deal]

16. What are they voting on now?

I see a vote on CPAN. Over what?
