Reply #10: Well, "Democrats" are not "The Borg." They don't think as a unit.

Some don't want to impeach for that reason. They'd rather excoriate him through investigations in the court of public opinion.

Others want evidence that actually leads straight to the Oval Office and consists of something one could call a genuine high crime or misdemeanor before they contemplate Articles of Impeachment. Not crimes of subordinates, mind you--top dog crimes, that are PROVABLE.

Others want to treat Bush like a cockroach in your kitchen, that you shove into a matchbox but don't kill--keep him stuck in there, still holding the position, but without any power.

Democrats don't have lockstep views. And no Pelosi, no Reid can ORDER them to all vote the same way, absent huge quid pro quos (which is how party discipline is usually enforced). Even if some on the far left seem to think that is the case--that Pelosi or Reid crack a whip, and all of their caucuses bow down. It's just not the way it works, and not the way we do business.

Many times I have asked people who favor impeachment to provide me a list of Articles upon which to impeach. No one ever takes me up on it. Instead, I catch shit like "Naysayer" and "Bush enabler" because they can't answer my simple question.

Go figure!
