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 (<a href=\"http:\/\/somenotesonliving.blogspot.com\/2007\/11\/vote-your-conscience-vote-dennis.html\" target=\"_blank\">Kucinich supporters sound exactly<\/a> like the pauliens, too). Moran continues that it&#8217;s not really a victory for Kucinich as he&#8217;d like us to believe;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Republicans, changing course midway through a vote, tried to force Democrats into a debate on the resolution sponsored by longshot presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The anti-war Ohio Democrat, in his resolution, accused Cheney of purposely leading the country into war against Iraq and manipulating intelligence about Iraq\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s ties with al-Qaida.<\/p>\n<p>The <span class=\"caps\">GOP<\/span> tactics reversed what had been expected to be an overwhelming vote to table, or kill, the resolution.<\/p>\n<p>Midway through the vote, with instructions from the <span class=\"caps\">GOP<\/span> 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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re going to help them out, to explain themselves,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Rep.

Well, more foolish than he was looking last week as reported by <a href=\"http:\/\/thegentlecricket.blogspot.com\/2007\/10\/putting-2-and-2-together.html\" target=\"_blank\">The Gentle Cricket<\/a>, anyway.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Moran says it best, though (as usual);<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Well, that&#8217;s not the end of the story, by any means. <a href=\"http:\/\/dummiefunnies.blogspot.com\/2007\/11\/leftwing-lemmings-continue-marching.html\" target=\"_blank\">DUmmie FUnnies<\/a> trolls the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.democraticunderground.com\/discuss\/duboard.php?az=view_all&#038;address=389x2234871\" target=\"_blank\">depths of undrained swamps<\/a> to bring us these nuggets as Mad Dennis leads the nation&#8217;s whackiest\u00c2\u00a0over the cliff;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;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&#8217;ve been saying all along: Follow the Nixon impeachment playbook.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;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.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;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. &#8220;\u00c2\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>They&#8217;re cute when they&#8217;re at their koolaid drinking best, aren&#8217;t they?

Oh, and I&#8217;m sure Conyers is listening to you &#8211; it&#8217;s real apparent that he&#8217;s not listening to anyone with any common sense &#8211; that leaves you.<\/p>\n<p>I doubt articles of impeachment will pass either &#8211; and\u00c2\u00a0my doubt\u00c2\u00a0has a lot to do with evidence, too.
