How many times have I told the DU unimpeachers (some of whom converted) that YOU DON’T KNOW AHEAD OF TIME HOW THINGS WILL TURN OUT!!! ?

Yeah. Lots. All the pretending and votecounting and strategerizing and soothsaying is null and void when a little thing called REALITY steps in and unfolds as it will.

No one could have predicted that the Repugs would vote to NOT table HR 333.

No one knows what will happen now.

Pretending that you do is a way to avoid doing anything, taking responsibility, taking action.

What’s worse is when those playing that losers’ game are doing so IN VIOLATION OF THEIR SWORN DUTY TO THE CONSTITUTION.

No one knows what will happen now.

And NO ONE HAS EVER EXPLAINED (with a believable, reasonable answer) why these crimes against the Constitution are being condoned by those violating their sworn duty.

And "WHAT WILL THE REPUBLICANS SAY/LIE/SPIN ABOUT US?" is NOT A BELIEVABLE, REASONABLE ANSWER.

2. Today from David Swanson: Impeachment Next Step
Edited on Wed Nov-07-07 11:35 PM by sfexpat2000
Impeachment Next Step: Judiciary Committee HEARINGS*

Thanks to Dennis Kucinich, Tuesday was an historic day for impeachment!

As promised, Kucinich requested a floor vote on H.Res. 333,and as
expected, BushDemocrat Leader Steny Hoyer moved to table the bill. And
then all hell broke loose as 165 Republicans voted with Kucinich and 85
other brave Democrats to force a debate on impeachment and thereby
embarass Nancy Pelosi.

To block that debate, Hoyer moved to send H.Res. 333 back to the
Judiciary Committee, and that motion passed with the support of all but
5 Democrats (Kucinich, Bob Filner, Marcy Kaptur, Maxine Waters, and Ed
Towns). A live blog of the proceedings is posted at
http://impeachcheney.org

So what do we do next to move impeachment forward?

1. Call the House Judiciary Committee at 202-225-3951 and demand
hearings on H.Res. 333.

2. Email all of the Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee:
http://www.democrats.com/topelosiandjudiciary

3. If you live in the district of a House Judiciary Committee member,
call their office and tell them you're a constituent and you want
immediate hearings on H.Res. 333. Then join your Congressional District
Impeachment Committee http://democrats.com/cdic-find
and organize a HonkToImpeach rally http://www.democrats.com/honktoimpeach
in front of your Representative's district office. Then keep up the
pressure on your Representative every way you can, including letters to
the editor, calls to local talk shows, and pointed questions at every
community forum attended by your Representative.

4. If your Congress Member is not on the Judiciary Committee, ask them
to cosponsor H Res 333:
http://www.democrats.com/impeach-cheney-congressional-record

5. Start a media campaign including op-ed articles on impeaching Cheney,
letters-to-the-editor about the Kucinich resolution, and informational
picketing in front of the offices of local media, particularly in
Detroit for Conyers and NY City for Nadler. Media activism kit:
http://afterdowningstreet.org/node/748 And ask the talk shows to give
the Republicans the impeachment debate they claim they wanted:
http://afterdowningstreet.org/node/1084

6. Ask pollsters to poll the public on impeachment, especially of
Cheney: http://www.democrats.com/impeachment-poll-petition

7. Watch for updates and notice of a national conference call with Rep.
Dennis Kucinich at http://impeachcheney.org

8. What if
Cheney is impeached. Bush will select a new VP. What if he actually chooses someone who is intelligent and likeable? Someone who inspires people and he or she decides to run for Pres. Shouldn't we just keep the guys we love to hate? I think Nancy has the right idea this close to election.

16. You think they have someone likeable ?
the scuttlebut is that it would be Jeb.
Do you think this country would re-elect Jeb?
Or Giuliani? Or any republican? after this?

10. I called Steney Hoyer's office today and asked why impeachment is off the table
the girl said "Hoyer says there are other more important
issues".

That has been Pelosi's stance from the beginning. And
Conyers on Fox news yesterday said " It would detract
from other issues this year" paraphrasing.

So you know something is wrong.

There is no more important issue than restoring the
Constitution and the Law. What happened to no man is above the
Law, not the vice president and not a president ?

Seems to me from the git-go Pelosi must have made some kind of
deal with the gops in order to get the job.

I would hope the DU'ers in California start writing their
newspapers about Recall and stating the reasons Recall and
Impeachment is necessary of Pelosi and Cheney-Bush.

Dennis on his site is asking people to call and write Congress
to force impeachment hearings.

I have already written and called the Judiciary Committee,
Pelosi, Hoyer, and Conyers telling them they are in
dereliction of duty and violation of the Constitution and
obstructing justice which requires them to bring impeachment.

Also that I wont be working for or voting for another democrat
unless impeachment hearings take place.

It would be good to keep that kind of heat on them daily
letters to newspapers and e mail and phone calls
to your spineless reps in Congress.  If we want impeachment
the only way we're going to get it is by demanding it and
telling her we're willing to remove her and non compliant
democrats in order to restore the Constitution and Law.

15. Thanks for the welcome. Is
a Recall possible of a congressperson possible in California?

Might not go through, but just starting such a project
and telling the papers about it might be enough to 
scare her into doing her job - although I'm so angry I would
actually like to see her removed and Hoyer too.  They're out
of touch - gameplaying on the Hill forgetting about the rest
of America's people and what we voted for seems to me. 

Yes, although rather than broken I would call it totally
corrupted.

Great thread!

It's very important that we continue with our advocacy for impeaching VP Cheney.

23. Yes!
And know one knows how Republicans in the Senate will vote on conviction.

But I have a pretty good guess. When faced with national prime time exposure of the numerous Bush/Cheney crimes, Republican Senators will have a very difficult choice to make: Either vote to convict or risk losing their Senate seat.

25. Possible there are any Republicans with enough integrity to do their sworn duty to the Constitution?
"When faced with national prime time exposure of the numerous Bush/Cheney crimes, Republican Senators will have a very difficult choice to make: Either vote to convict or risk losing their Senate seat."

Possible that when the nation is aware -- because the media blackout on the subject is ended and televised hearing alert them -- of the case for impeachment, that all sort of Americans (inc. Repubs) will demand that their reps do the right thing?
