  •  The American people want (0+ / 0-)

    this Legislature to get them improved healthcare, do something to resolve Iraq short of an immediate pullout, get the minimum wage act fully passed, etc. All the things we promised during the election in 2006.

    If this Congress and Senate get bogged down in Impeachment and no promised legislation gets passed, the Dems would be kickout rather than stengthening their positions.

    Remember, they   would have to impeach both Bush and Chaney. Would the public stand for the instablility of having both the Pres and VP expelled at the same time with 2 unelected people replacing them?

    BTW, why are isn't the leadership as well as every Dem member charging the Repubs with obstructionism the way they do when we're in the minority. They should do it every time they get in front of a mike!

    It's the Supreme Court, stupid!

    •  Have you been watching Washington DC news since (0+ / 0-)

      the 110th Congress took up the gavel and started "The People's business" of 2007?

      What legislation that the Democrats have offered up has been signed into law by President Bush?

      Do we have Universal Healthcare, or just better than 2006 healthcare?  Did the Iraqi Occupation end, and I just missed the news report?

      There is no 'getting bogged down with Impeachment', this Democratic Majority is a majority of one, and Cheney decided all tie votes.  The 110th Congress has not had a hope in hell of accomplishing ANYTHING since they took office.  The Speaker, and anyone who can count to 100 have known this since January 1 of this year.

      Not to mention that even when they pass legislation in the House and Senate, they need Bush to sign it, and I believe that the single bill that was passed, he vetoed.

      Now, please tell me again how impeachment would stop this congress from doing the work of the people?

      Si, se puede cambiar~~Yes, we can change~~Obama '08

      •  That's why it's important to (0+ / 0-)

        let the public know loudly and often that they need to vote in more D's in order to do the people's business.

        I watch a great deal of TV news and commentary, but have never heard one Dem say the the R's are preventing the passage of important legislation. If the Pres vetos that at least makes headlines, but if the R's prevent the bills from passing, it hardly makes a ripple.

        Can't depend on the media, must keep pounding away at that message. Need more Dems, need more Dems. Give us an veto proof majority!

        It's the Supreme Court, stupid!
