The link you posted used editing to make Castle good and call out others as liars.

From the actual Impeach Bush Site the full response to the question :

Q: How did our Reps vote and what does it mean?

A: Kucinich moved that HRes 1258 be referred to the Judiciary Committee. All of the Democrats and 24 Republicans voted "Aye" (yes). A yes vote could mean that the Representative supported the resolution and wanted to see it developed further in the Judiciary. Or it could mean they wanted to send it to committee for a slow death. Both Pelosi and Wexler voted aye. A no vote on the motion to refer would have resulted in a final vote on the Articles of Impeachment, which would likely have failed. 166 Republicans voted "No".

Careful calling others stupid, it can always come back and bite you in the butt. Castle can claim anything he wants, but he didn't vote to kill the bill and no day late doubletalk will change that.

Sure it can, but it didn't here.

The Impeach the Bushers - just like so many here - didn't understand the parliamentary trick employed by the Republicans. Why do I say that? Because they were shocked that after calling Castle's office he didn't want to impeach Bush. They couldn't understand why he'd vote for the resolution, and not want to impeach Bush.

I suspect they were suffering from the same thing that many here seem to be suffering from - public schools.

"Castle can claim anything he wants, but he didn't vote to kill the bill and no day late doubletalk will change that."

Not according to Jim Gerhaty, who wrote an article about this very fact at the time of the vote.

I frequently find that people will use the phrase "double talk when they read something they - because of their own intellectual shortcomings - can't understand. Just saying.
