Seeking to choke off a Republican rallying cry, the House's top Democrat has told colleagues that the party will not seek to impeach President Bush even if it gains control of the House in November's elections, her office said last night.
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) told her caucus members during their weekly closed meeting Wednesday "that impeachment is off the table; she is not interested in pursuing it," spokesman Brendan Daly said.
Some House Democrats, including ranking Judiciary Committee member John Conyers Jr. of Michigan, have called for impeachment hearings into allegations that Bush misled the nation about Iraq's alleged weapons of mass destruction and that he violated federal law by approving warrantless wiretaps on Americans. In an interview with The Washington Post last week, Pelosi said a Democratic-controlled House would launch investigations of the administration on energy policy and other matters. She said impeachment would not be a goal of the investigations, but she added: "You never know where it leads to."

They also won't pull funding for Iraq and the War on Terror, free the terrorists penned up in Gitmo, and handcuff American agencies fighting the war on terror on every front with "sensitivity" requirements.
I don't believe them.
Oy yeah....right!
We know that the liberals always keep their word.
...and they have shown themselves to be so trustworthy about promises! Wasn't it President Clinton who raised taxes within 2 weeks of getting into office even after saying that the middle class was going to get a tax cut? How about the new NJ governor? Didn't he do the same?
Come on into my web, said the spider. They're trying to make a protest vote by disgruntled Republicans a little less threatening.
How do you tell if a Democrat is lying?
Lips moving?

An ugly face can hide, an evil mi-ind........
She can't even be honest with (what's left of) her face, let alone the crap she spews from it.
"Honest" and "Democrat" are two words that should never be used in the same sentence -- unless it's this one.
Aw, darn..coffee all over the screen...
Pelosi's promise is just like a Kennedy promising never to drive drunk...
Well...I'm glad they said that...now I can breath a sigh of relief. It's good to know that democrats never lie or TWIST THE SHIT out of the truth. I feel so much better now.
This ought to knot up the Kos Kids' panties.
lips fluttering?
