Seriously, this not only is getting old but nothing more than a way to distract people off the main message that we need to regain the house.

Here are the facts:

1.) First, we do not have the majority and it would look foolish of us to commit to something BEFORE we had that majority. If Pelosi claimed that impeachment was the democratic majority's #1 priority, all the criticism over the corruption of Republicans and the War going to shit would be tossed to the side in order to talk impeachment 24&7. And you know those suck-ups in the media are gonna make it look bad - like it would be a big waste of time & tax dollars just like it was in 1998 (although none of them considered that back then)

2.) Nancy Pelosi is NOT the person who would be running the impeachment process. Impeachment charges would be started by the chair of the House Judiciary Committee WHICH if we can win the house in 2006, would be John Conyers. We all know that John Conyers has been talking impeachment for awhile now and even has some other big names signed on to support it, but as a minority leader he has no way of making it happen. But if we had the Majority - that would be a different story.

3.) No one speaks for John Conyers but John Conyers, not even Nancy Pelosi. And I have not heard once since Nancy made that original comment that Conyers either agrees OR disagrees with what Ms. Pelosi said. Trust me, Conyers is the type of guy that if he has the goods and the chair of House Judiciary, no one can stop that man.

So please, let's not count our proverbial chickens before they're hatched or we might all end up with egg on our faces. John Conyers has been one of the brightest stars in the last dismal 6 years and he has earned my trust to warrant me to keep fighting for the majority. Until Conyers says otherwise, you know that impeachment is on his agenda!
