My memo to the DLC.

[mmonk]

As Republicans read the Constitution they desecrated and abused on the House floor, enjoy the moment you helped make possible in your steadfast decision to not uphold and defend it by impeaching the previous administration. You earned it.

1. Amen!

[Ikonoklast]

2. Show me where the votes were.

There would have been an impeachment if the votes were there.

They weren't.


Pelosi and Reid both knew the votes weren't there, and they weren't about to spend political capital on a useless exercise in futility as there were some stupendous problems, like a collapsing economy that needed just a little bit of attention.

Some people have no clue as to why votes are or aren't taken on specific legislation or hearings...it's because both Harry and Nancy can count, and they know exactly where their support is beforehand.


If the votes to impeach were there, you would have seen an impeachment.

3. If the votes to defend our precepts and laws in the Democratic Party were not there,

then the country has sick priorities or the party protects Republican politicians from the rule of law. The problem doesn't lie with me or the comment.

6. I see, you just have a need to place blame.

I understand now.

4. The votes weren't there because a lot of the Dems, particularly the DLC "Dems" were complicit in the

Bush administrations crimes. Pretty much every piece of shit Dem who voted for the wars has a degree of culpability.

82 House Dems / 29 Senate Dems.

5. You're forgetting that the voters... human beings... have a role in politics, too. n/t

[cleanhippie]

8. Uh, I think thats the point being made here.

There were PLENTY of Dems, just not enough would vote for it. I think thats the point.

[Arkana]

7. I would love to know what leaps of logic you used

to arrive at this conclusion.

Why the fuck is a defunct political organization treated like the Illuminati around here?
