10. The most harmful part is that they won't even allow a vote.
Before the YouTube debate, where the voters were supposed to ask the questions by voting online, the impeachment question was the most popular one that was asked. But somehow it got deleted from the debate, not even mentioned at all. The number one question was never asked, and no excuse was ever provided.

The pollsters have quit polling on impeachment because it is way too popular among the public, and nobody wants anyone to know how popular it really is. I've seen many stories about local governments passing all manner of impeachment measures against these criminals, and I haven't ever heard about a single one being voted down.

By not forcing a vote the big lie is allowed to go unchallenged. The big lie that there are not enough votes in Congress. I know it's a big lie, and I also know that anyone who voted in Congress to shield Dick Cheney from criminal prosecution would have a very short career. They would be toast. I don't believe anyone, no matter how safe their district, would actually defend these guys when push comes to shove.
