24 Republicans Vote for Impeachment Hearings

by Ralph Lopez Wed Jul 16, 2008 at 01:10:01 PM PDT

In a stunning development which fell with the silence of a feather yesterday, 24 Republicans broke with their iron-fisted party to put country first, and voted to send Rep. Dennis Kucinich's article of impeachment HR 1345 to the Judiciary, where Chairman John Conyers will hold a hearings on abuses of power by the Bush administration, according to the Congressional Quaterly's CQToday.

Those Republicans are (Yea 238 - Nay 180):

Congressman Kevin Brady (TX)
Congressman Wayne Gilchrest (MD)
Congressman Walter B. Jones (NC)
Representative Don Manzullo (IL)
U.S. Congressman Tim Murphy(PA)
Congressman Ron Paul (TX)
Congressman Dave Reichert (WA)
Congressman Christopher Shays (CT)
Representative Mike Turner (OH)

One of the Republicans, Walter Jones, represents Camp LeJeune in North Carolina, one of the largest Marine bases in the country, and one which has borne heavily the sacrifice of the Iraq War.

It is up to the blogosphere to spread this far and wide, and to manhandle the media. The hope of the Democratic leadership, which could no longer ignore relentless pressure to begin hearings, is that hearings will attract no notice and, with no one knowing or understanding the import of what is going on, the impeachment genie, which rises and stretches when the huge numbers of people who think Bush should be impeached, but who are hopeless that it will ever happen, are given hope that it can and start picking up phones and banners to make it so. Polls vary, but in none does the past sentiment for the impeachment of Clinton come close to that for the impeachment of Bush, and you all know I'm no fan of Slick Willie who perfected the Triangulation Machine.
