in Gonzo so the Dems are just doing a "political stunt." He said there are those on his "side of the aisle who agree with him" (leading one to believe that there are enough votes to Impeach but not to to go to Vote to Censure Gonzo).

So my question is what are our Democrats doing? If Specter says the way to deal with Gonzo is impeachment and the votes are there...they why aren't Dems going straight for Impeachment rather than Censure?

Given our experience with Specter it could be he's lying and that there aren't votes for Impeachment but why does he keep repeating that he already has NO Confidence in Gonzo along with his fellow Dems?

I have to say I worry about why we Dems are going through this if they are just going to have to repeat it if they don't win the votes to vote on Censure.

The Media is going to have a field day quoting Specter that this is all political as Specter says "to play a game of gotcha soundbytes for the 2008 Election"....but on the other hand why would Specter say that about Censure Vote if instead he prefers Impeachment. Have Dems figured that he's playing a game that he won't vote for censure or Impeachment and that's why they are rushing this forward?

:shrug: I hope to hell our Dems are playing a clever game on this...but Specter's comments are worrysome that we are going to take more shit for a failed vote.
