Op-Ed News
Excerpt
“There are a lot of progressives on our site who were angry, the day after the November election,” I tell him. (You know who you are .)
He smiles and says, “The day after… that soon? The new congress wasn’t even sworn in until January.”
“Yep, the day after,” I reply, adding, “They’ve been angry that impeachment is off the table.”
He pauses, purses his lips, then nods his head, agreeing, saying, “They have lots of good reasons to be angry. But, you know, the presidential race is coming, in 2008.. and it’s already 2007. If you know a way to take care of all the domestic issues, to successfully prepare to take the whitehouse, to investigate and prosecute and impeach– tell me…”
H.L.s Take
Conyers was one of the only, if not the only member of congress to show up for the war protests. If all these members of congress are now so against the war why don’t they take it to the streets. Is it because they are only against the war because they know their constituents are, and they want to protect thier jobs? I don’t really care as long as they keep opposing Bush, snd the war.
