[SoFlaJet]

I get these E-mails from my congressman and yesterday I asked in reply who is Robert supporting and was told by Brian this;

SFJ,
The Congressman is the Florida Co-Chair for the Obama campaign.
- Brian
Wexler Campaign

I wrote back that he never disappoints and that I've been on here at DU saying HE should be the House Leader instead of Pelosi

7. Wexler is one of the real good guys. Great news.

He's got to have had a lot of pressure to back Hillary.

8. He's supporting the candidate who is against impeachment.

Obama: Impeachment is not acceptable

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama laid out a list of political shortcomings he sees in the Bush administration but said he opposes impeachment for either President George W. Bush or Vice President Dick Cheney. Obama said he would not back such a move, although he has been distressed by the "loose ethical standards, the secrecy and incompetence" of a "variety of characters" in the administration.

...

Obama, a Harvard law school graduate and former lecturer on constitutional law at the University of Chicago, said impeachment should not be used as a standard political tool.

"I think you reserve impeachment for grave, grave breaches, and intentional breaches of the president's authority," he said.

"I believe if we began impeachment proceedings we will be engulfed in more of the politics that has made Washington dysfunction," he added. "We would once again, rather than attending to the people's business, be engaged in a tit-for-tat, back-and-forth, non-stop circus."

A little more of that reaching out to Republicans. Kiss accountability good-bye.

9. No matter who he supports, they're against impeachment.

Nice try though. Where has hillary come out in support of impeachment?

[Straight Shooter]

12. I posted because a lot of people don't know how strong Barack's postition is.

You also prove another point. Not a sliver of difference between Barack and Hillary on policy. As Howard Dean said, flip a coin, no matter what side it lands on, the policy is the same.

Hillary is just more willing to put her commitment on the record when it comes to voting. Cases in point: MoveOn condemnation, Kyl/Lieberman.

13. I agree, the differences betwen them are minor compared to the differences between us and republican

Which is why I would be fine with either of them as POTUS. I'm not sure I agree with your logic for commitment on the record, i'd rather have a non-vote than a yes vote for kyl-lieberman.

[Straight Shooter]

14. I would rather have a no vote than a non-vote.

Commitment on the record is of importance to me. I like paper trails. :)

18. They are similar.

They differ in the people that surround them concerning foreign policy though (and that's where I look). That's where Obama represents the most change which appeals to me. Overall, neither are my first choice but I'm used to that.

[cooolandrew]

10. Yep Wexler sounds good to me.

[never_get_over_it]

11. He didn't disappoint you when he voted for IWR

he sure as hell disappointed me actually he shocked the crap out of me with his YES vote. I couldn't care less who he endorsed - or co-chairs for - endorsements apparently don't mean that much - you should check with Ted Kennedy on that one - good news for you as an Obama supporter I guess he'll get Wexler's super duper delegate vote - hmmmm wonder if they'll seat the super duper Florida delegates....

15. Well, then, tell him to pester Obama about accountability n/t

16. Wasn't Wexler on Colbert over a year ago

saying he loves coke and hookers?

Best Colbert moment ever. Great sport. Funny guy. And he totally disproves this bullshit that Obama is bad on Israel. Isn't Welxer from a heavilly Jewish South Florida district?

[Eurobabe]

17. Good then maybe he's redeemed himself for

his no vote against HR106 (Armenian genocide).
