"Dennis Kucinich is on a quest of his own. He sees flying saucers and he acts like one, too"
2007-11-07
Don Surber

ThatÂ’s from Alcee Hastings. Suffice it to say, Democratic leaders are pissed at Dennis for bringing up impeachment . . .

Kucinich is an archtype of embarrassment to the party. HeÂ’s like the Crazy Aunt who spills all the family secrets. They want him to go back into the attic. Republicans are handing him a megaphone. Spill, Auntie Dennis, spill.
Meanwhile, the "nutroots" "netroots" (which is to say, the real face of the hard-core Angry Lefr Democrat party) is cheering him on and cursing the (relative) prudence of Pelosi and Hoyer.

. . . Steny Hoyer, who as the HouseÂ’s No. 2 Democrat has taken over for the incompetent House Squeaker Nancy Pelosi, tried to kill the Kucinich impeachment resolution. Republicans were all set to help him until it occurred to them, screw Hoyer. What has he done for Republicans? Being portrayed as pulling the wings off children over SCHIP chaffed Republicans. So they decided to give Kucinich enough rope to hang all the Democrats.

86 Democrats were serious in voting for the resolution. 165 Republicans voted for the resolution just to send a message to Democratic leaders. Shelley Moore Capito was among the Republicans voting for the resolution.

Technically the motion was to table, so the 162 votes for tabling were against the resolution, while the 251 no votes were technically for the impeachment resolution.

Besides Kucinich and the rest of the Tinfoil Caucus of the Democratic Party, House Ways and Means Chairman Charles Rangel voted for the impeachment resolution. . . .

#5  Democratic Congress is like a "crazy aunt" who is dusting chairs on the Titanic while islamofascist proxies are waging war and while Iran is racing to get nukes and Pakistan is a danger.

#4  Even my wife is unhappy about the Government continuing to operate under one Continuing Resolution after another. The appropriation bills never came to fruition from the start of the current Congress to the end of the fiscal year.

I don't think she'll be overly amused by this, either.

#3  If we are lucky this will cost them a LOT of the "Red' areas where they picked up house seats in 06 due to R's being porkers and weak on the border. I guess those that were voting to "teach a lesson" are now seeing how stupid a thing that was.

Have to hand it to the Republican Leadership - its great of them to switch and vote against tabling it. This forces the looney core of the hard left out into public focus in such a way that even the MSM can't hide it anymore.

POrescription for disaster for the Dems: That peopel actually find out what they REALLY stand for. (Hint look at Murth, and then at the people on the Dem side that cosponsored this).

#1  He is The One. He will lead us out of the paranoid fascistic Bushitler snowglobe world we think we live in. He will save us from the reeducation camps and the chilling suppression of dissent.
OH MY GOD! IS THAT A BLACK HELICOPTER!!
