Blowing a hole in the "WE DON'T HAVE THE VOTES" excuse
Advertisements [?]
We've heard the "WE DON'T HAVE THE VOTES" excuse used many times when it comes to the impeachment issue...

Well - Congress may have the votes to pass an Iraq Occupation funding bill with benchmarks/deadlines attached but they don't have the votes to override a veto - YET they continue to pass various versions of bill knowing this

Why aren't they whining they don't have the votes to override a veto? The blatherhead take on it is the Dems are making a political point - be it that bush doesn't listen, bush doesn't face reality or whatever...

Well doesn't bringing up impeachment (votes or not) do the same thing? It would make a political point, it would bring it into the national dialog/debate...

We the people voted for change back in November...if we don't see some MAJOR changes real soon, we'll be throwing them all out and making some big changes in Nov '08
