Pelosi: Bush Impeachment `Off the Table
By Susan Ferrechio
The New York Times, November 8, 2006
House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi promised Wednesday that when her party takes over, the new majority will not attempt to remove President Bush from office, despite earlier pledges to the contrary from others in the caucus.
I have said it before and I will say it again: Impeachment is off the table, Pelosi, D-Calif., said during a news conference.
Pelosi also said Democrats, despite complaining about years of unfair treatment by the majority GOP, are not about getting even with Republicans.
She said the GOP, which frequently excluded Democrats from conference committee hearings and often blocked attempts to introduce amendments, would not suffer similar treatment.
Democrats pledge civility and bipartisanship in the conduct of the work here and we pledge partnerships with Congress and the Republicans in Congress, and the president not partisanship.

Ms. Pelosi never really expressed what that reason was, other than what can be called "buy-partisanship."

Couldn't be more like 1984 if they appointed Gen Clapper to investigate himself.
