Debate on Cheney impeachment averted
House Democrats on Tuesday narrowly managed to avert a bruising debate on a proposal to impeach Dick Cheney after Republicans, in a surprise maneuver, voted in favor of taking up the measure.
Republicans, changing course midway through a vote, tried to force Democrats into a debate on the resolution sponsored by longshot presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich.
The anti-war Ohio Democrat, in his resolution, accused Cheney of purposely leading the country into war against Iraq and manipulating intelligence about Iraq’s ties with al-Qaida.
The GOP tactics reversed what had been expected to be an overwhelming vote to table, or kill, the resolution.
Ahh.. That’s a shame it didn’t work out..
I’m sure the Republicans could have gotten some choice video clips from that debate for use in various campaign ads next year. Dennis Kucinich is an embarrassment for even the Democrats, and that is saying something! Pathetic…
