Reply #103: while i absolutely support impeachment, it would be wrong... [View All]

...not to consider the vote tally in the senate, if only to be aware of what we are getting into. the evidence may be as plain as day (and it most certainly will be plain and voluminous, to the point that no citizen with a working brain sell could miss it) but that doesn't mean a rep senator will vote for conviction.

we must consider what underlies the recalcitrance of the rep senators currently vis a vis the votes on the war funding and timetables. one would think, all things being equal, that the reps would have seen the writing on the wall of the '06 elections: a clear slap at bush/cheney politics/government. yet they continue not to distance themselves from bush in their voting. why not? perhaps they think they have '08 sewn up via the usual methods and don't need to worry about re-election.

or perhaps their just a bunch of fascist assholes. but i repeat myself.

as much as i unequivocally support impeachment, i would truly hate to see a failure to convict. every step must take bush down one peg lower until he is crawling like the snake that he is. but miss a step and we couldt get bit.
