Then why are they trying to table resolutions that would go after the biggest wrongdoer of all time(I say that in jest).....Dick Cheney?

Only 162 members -- 27 Republicans and 135 Democrats -- supported tabling the proposal. A total of 251 members -- 86 Democrats and 165 Republicans -- opposed it.

That't right........More Republicans voted for going ahead with impeachment proceedings against the VP then did Dems. Who would have ever thought that Kucinch's biggest ally in the war on the WhiteHouse would be Republicans

You know exactly why the Republicans voted that way. Not a single one would actually vote to impeach, it is nothing but parliamentary showmanship. If there were any actual strong support for impeachment they'd all be wailing about what a travesty it is, how it gives aid and comfort to the enemy, blah blah blah.

While that is true of the Republicans it does not explain away the inactions of the Majority of Dems. If it is their job to provide a check against a runaway WhiteHouse one must come to one of two conclusions: A) They are negligent in their duty or B) The WhiteHouse isn't running away.
