Despite believing Dick Cheney is a real-life version of the imperialist Darth Vadar …
… House Democrats don’t want to debate a resolution that calls for his impeachment, and have effectively killed the resolution, which was written by Rep. Dennis Kucinich.
Why won’t they press to impeach a man many of them believe is a “war criminal”? Politics, of course – which is also exactly why they haven’t tried to impeach the President. They know their base would support it, but I’m sure they’ve done extensive polling which suggests that the rest of America doesn’t support it. If they believed a majority of the American people would be on board with it, they’d be all over the Kucinich resolution in a New York minute.
So House Democrats have decided to keep the “criminals” in the WH for now because apparently they’re ok with those “criminals” committing more “crimes,” so long as it means that next year, the Dems’ majority in Congress increases, and they regain control of the WH.
It’s all about priorities, you see …
