I usually just read here, there are many of you more informed than I am. That being said, I want to get my two cents in without jumping into the middle of a flame war.
John Conyers is playing his cards very well. He wants impeachment as much as the rest of us. He has let it be known he plans to move on impeachment, when he has the numbers. Therefore today is not a setback.
Conyers realizes what is happening; the public outrage is mounting. He gave Pro-Impeachent forces a face to face meeting today. Afterward they announce that he STILL won't move on impeachment. When the announcement comes, the Pro-Impeachment forces become angry. The calls for impeachment become louder, more insistent.
Nobody that is calling for impeachment will be demoralized by this. They will dig their heels in, they will scratch and claw harder than ever.
There will be more discussion among the general public. The public demand will grow to deafening levels. More protests, more civil disobedience will ensue. We are already angry. Conyers want us to go out and convince everyone else to be angry too. And when we have created a big enough storm, undeniable shows of public demand for impeachment, then the timing will be right.
By not bowing to our Pro-Impeachment forces today, Conyers has stirred up a firestorm of energy, devoted to making it happen. He is doing this intentionally, and I believe he is brilliant for it.
Had he announced impeachment proceedings today, the media would have said he caved to Cindy Sheehan, and the "lunatic-fringe". I can hear the words coming out of (insert MSM Wanker's Name Here)mouth. By rejecting the notion of impeachment today, the public outcry for it becomes louder.
It's only a matter of time now, so let's get as many folks on board as we possibly can! It's going to be a wild ride.
