Do Democrats know we’re laughing AT them?

While catching up with stuff, I read with interest the story on Rick Moran’s Right Wing Nut House about whacky Dennis Kucinich’s pandering to the Far Left Pro-defeat crowd by sponsoring impeachment articles against Dick Cheney;

Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich expressed satisfaction Tuesday with a series of procedural twists on the House floor that resulted in the Ohio congressman’s impeachment articles against Vice President Dick Cheney being sent for committee review.A series of strategic maneuvers on both sides of the partisan aisle ended with a 218-194 vote along party lines to deliver the impeachment resolution to the House Judiciary Committee, the panel of jurisdiction for such matters.

“This vote sends a message that the administration’s conduct in office is no longer unchallenged,” Kucinich said after the vote.

Yeah, that’s what it does, Den. I guess if he figures he can act crazier than Ron Paul he can raise $4 million in one day, too, just by tapping the raving lunatics constituency (Kucinich supporters sound exactly like the pauliens, too). Moran continues that it’s not really a victory for Kucinich as he’d like us to believe;

Republicans, changing course midway through a vote, tried to force Democrats into a debate on the resolution sponsored by longshot presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich. 

The anti-war Ohio Democrat, in his resolution, accused Cheney of purposely leading the country into war against Iraq and manipulating intelligence about Iraq’s ties with al-Qaida.

The GOP tactics reversed what had been expected to be an overwhelming vote to table, or kill, the resolution.

Midway through the vote, with instructions from the GOP leadership, Republicans one by one changed their votes from yes to kill the resolution to no, trying to force the chamber into a debate and an up-or-down vote on the proposal.

At one point there were 290 votes to table. After the turnaround, the final vote was 251-162 against tabling, with 165 Republicans voting against it.

“We’re going to help them out, to explain themselves,” said Rep. Pete Sessions, R-Texas. “We’re going to give them their day in court.”

So, Kucinich got his vote through because the Republicans are calling his bluff – to make him look foolish. Well, more foolish than he was looking last week as reported by The Gentle Cricket, anyway. 

Moran says it best, though (as usual);

The exquisite irony of watching Democrats fall all over themselves trying to kill impeachment after spending most of the last 7 years accusing Bush/Cheney of the most dire impeachable offenses was almost too delicious to watch. It showed the Democrats to be shallow political hacks, eager and capable of using rhetoric to undermine the presidency during a time of war but without the balls to match their actions to their words.

Well, that’s not the end of the story, by any means. DUmmie FUnnies trolls the depths of undrained swamps to bring us these nuggets as Mad Dennis leads the nation’s whackiest over the cliff;

“Dennis Kucinich just announced on the Ed Schultz show that John Conyers will hold hearings into the impeachment of Cheney. A full House vote yesterday would never have succeeded and would only have endangered red-state Democratic House members. But hearings could do the trick. I’ve been saying all along: Follow the Nixon impeachment playbook.”

“I hope its true, last I heard from Conyers was they were discussing it, and then Wexler came out for it. Maybe Conyers listened to him and us.”

“I doubt Articles of Impeachment will pass unless evidence of wrong doing is put forward and gathering that evidence seems to be not so easy. “ 

They’re cute when they’re at their koolaid drinking best, aren’t they? The “Nixon impeachment handbook”? What the Hell is that? Nixon was never impeached. Oh, and I’m sure Conyers is listening to you – it’s real apparent that he’s not listening to anyone with any common sense – that leaves you.

I doubt articles of impeachment will pass either – and my doubt has a lot to do with evidence, too. There is none – there’s only a bunch retards enamoured with the sound of their own voice and the echo they get from places like Democratic Underground.

But, it turns out there are even whackier people with whackier theories than on DU;

I propose a third, far more likely reason why the Democratic shmucks in congress won’t impeach Bush and Cheney.

Nancy Pelosi, an ardent zionist, was told that Cheney must remain exactly where he is because Bush simply can’t launch another war before he leaves office without him – he’s too f*cking stupid.

Conyers and the rest of them “won’t cross Pelosi,” not because they’re afraid of her sorry ass, but because they’re afraid of AIPAC, which will come down like a ton of bricks on anyone who dares impede their insane plans to launch a war against Iran.

Of course, we all knew that somehow it was the joos. Still others see it as an opportunity for Ron Paul;

Once again, this is a commanding moment for Ron Paul in influencing the direction of the nation by joining with Democrats to look more sharply upon the deeds of the current administration.

Others don’t understand why Congress doesn’t bend to the will of 23% of Americans in a CNN poll.
